WRONG NUMBER {COMPLETE}

Twenty-Six

~Forth~

Beam and Lam's interactions baffled me. It was almost as if they didn't know each other. Beam was starting to look flustered when N'Ming came and get him. " What do you think about Beam?" I asked Lam when we were left alone. " He is a nice looking guy, why do you ask?" He said looking at me a bit wearily. " You know your opinion matters to me 😊. I am courting him now, he doesn't seem as sure about as I am about him" I confided in Lam.

He wrapped his arm around my shoulder, "... with all your charms? No way!!! Hahahaha.." he said sarcastically and we both laughed. " You are a good guy Forth. Keep showing him that side of you. I know everyone thought Park was scary and controlling when I got with him. But the truth is, everyone didn't see the Park I did. A bit rough on the edges but overall a good guy"-Lam.

I listened to him talk, then I asked "... so why are you dragging your feet getting back with him?". He shook his head, "... it is not Park, it is me. I have changed and I think I am better off being single for a while" he said with a smile but I saw the pain in his eyes. " Is it the new guy you've found interest in? Is that why you don't want to be with Park?" I asked. Again, he shook his head No, "... that kid and I were not meant to be. But enough with the sappy talk, I have to check in my room. I'll see you tomorrow morning for the first activity. Don't stay up too late with your boyfriend 😉"- Lam.

As I watched him walk away, I felt uneasy. They both don't know what I knew. I knew what I saw that day and the interaction I witnessed between the two of them. They are definitely no stranger to each other. While I sat at the lobby, alone with my thoughts. I was interrupted by the presence of P'Park who walked in with a bucket of roses. " Forth!!! ... where is Lam?" He asked with the biggest grin. " Phi! Why are you here? Lam just left for his room..." I responded.

" Tonight is actually our anniversary... I asked him to be my boyfriend during the night of the SOTUS closing. I figured to surprise him... you know to remind him of the happy times" P'Park. This man was desperate to have Lam back in his life. I looked at the bags around him and picked up my phone to text Lam. " Oh!!! Don't text him... I wanted to surprise him. Can you take me to his room?" P'Park.

His intentions were pure, but I only have Lam's interest at heart. "A lot changed when you left phi... Lam then might appreciate a surprise like this. But Lam now.... I don't know. Even, I am trying to decipher who this new Lam is" I said. He listened then said, "... I can't simply throw in the towel Forth. I want to fight for us... I need to fight for us. I have to at least try, you just don't simply stop loving someone" -P'Park.

Call me a sucker for love, but I couldn't over look how sincere he was. There's no need to stop a man who is fighting for love. " Alright, I'll take you to him..." I said leading the way to Lam's suite. " Good luck P'Park... I am rooting for you". I walked him to Lam's and made my way to my own room. Everyone deserves a second chance, especially those who have learned from their wrong doings.

To say I was surprised to see Beam at the SOTUS resort is an understatement. Truth is, I was hoping this weekend will aid me get over him. But now, here he was standing in front of me with Forth. Forth did a formal introduction, to which I pretended it was my first time meeting N'Beam. He was a bit flustered, seeing me. But I couldn't let on that I knew him in front of Forth. In fact, I had plan on disregarding our entire encounter.

Then Ming came to save the day, there was no doubt that he knew of our circumstances. But he knew better than to go around blabbering my business to others. Forth seem a bit concerned, but then he shared his worries with me. He fear N'Beam might not like him as much as he does. In that moment, I felt bad. Almost as if, I was the cause of Beam doubting Forth was the one for him.

If this entire mishap had not occurred, I wouldn't see my best friend this broken. " ...You are a great guy Forth... never forget that" was the last thing I said during our conversation before heading back to my room. I figured I should keep myself busy, I had planned on going to the party being held in Ming's honor. But seeing N'Beam right now isn't a good idea.

So when I heard the knock at my door, I assumed it was  Kao or Pete. They had texted me they were coming to drag me to the party, so opening the door to P'Park with flowers and gifts was the last thing I had expected. " Happy anniversary Lammie...🥰" he said. I took a deep breathe, how did he know my room. Okay, this is a resort filled with Park worshippers so I wasn't surprised.

" Is it really our Anniversary Phi? Last I checked I was still single" I said walking inside with the door ajar. He let himself inside and placed the roses on the table. " How long do you plan to be upset with me? I thought we were making strides"-P'Park. " You don't seem to get how much you hurt me." I yelled my frustrations. " I know!!! Lam... I know !!! And I want to fix it. I want to fix us!!" -P'Park.

He walked closer, placing his hands on my hips and looking me in the eyes. " I love you Lam... YOU!! And only YOU!!! I want to spend the rest of my life with you. So it took me moving thousands of miles away to realize how I can't live without you. I was miserable every waking day, that I didn't get to set my eyes on you"-P'Park said with tears welding in his eyes. He was sincere and I felt every word. Then he leaned in for a kiss, he pecked me on the lips.

While whispering in my ear, he said " I miss you Lam...Give me what ever punishment you see fit. I am willing to take it, I want to fight for us"-P'Park. I felt his words and saw his tears, but my body felt numb. Without hesitation, I looked him in the eyes " It is over P'Park...I don't feel the same about you as I did before" I said moving his hands off my waist and getting the door for him.

He took a deep breathe while walking pass me, "... it is him huh?...". What is he talking about? " ... although it was a brief phone interaction, I knew it was him. How will your best friend feel knowing you have the hearts for his boyfriend?"-P'Park. I looked at him in horror, finding it hard to refute his words because they were true. I am in love with BEAM BARAMEE.
