Forth has just landed in Italy. He is now on his way to Palermo, where he enrolled at the Faculty of Engineering in their University under the name Kantaphon Luang.
Before he left Bangkok, he gathered his earnings from his online games to have fake documents in order to live a new life. He knows he couldn't stand being near the man he loves when he knows he is about to get married and have a family of his own. He also knew his family will do everything they can to find him and he can't afford that.
He knew Beam would never cheat on him but there are circumstances they both can't handle and decisions taken out of their hands. He was thinking his boyfriend was coerced into sleeping with that girl or maybe Beam was drugged. He doesn't know anymore. All he knows is that, there is already a baby in equation and he can't let the little being be affected.

Forth looked around the airport to find the taxi stand. He had prepared himself to forget the life he was used to. He had left Forth Jaturapoom Jamornhum in Bangkok and now he is a new person. He will be living his life as Kantaphon Luang, a man without past but living for the future.
He was able to hail a cab and asked to be brought downtown. The last meal he had was at the plane and he is now famished. Forth knew his Italian has been rusty and he needs to practice more in order to be fluent. He went inside a restaurant and with broken Italian, he was able to order a decent meal.
Forth decided to walk around downtown to find a place to spend the night or two. Tomorrow he'll start hunting for a place where he could stay for the duration of his education.

It has been three months since he fled from Bangkok, three months since he left his life behind, three months since he continued living. He is now wandering around downtown since he doesn't have anu classes for that day and he needed to look for a part time job to pay for his daily needs. The money he is continuously earning from his games is being used to pay for his tuition and other school stuff.
He has just been into one of the restaurants to apply for a job when he began to feel dizzy. Just as he was about to turn to an alley, everything went black.
When he came to, he was in a small room. The walls are white and it definitely smells like a hospital, well he might be in a clinic room. He tried to move around and sighed in relief when he was able to sit on the bed. Just as he was about to stand, the door opened and a man entered.
"Hello" the man greeted in Italian as he stepped into the room. "How are you feeling now?" he asked as he sat beside the bed. The man wasn't dressed like a doctor, more like a man about to attend a business meeting perhaps.
"Uhm...I'm fine, I think" he answered in broken Italian.
"Do you prefer to talk in English?" The man sensed his discomfort in speaking in Italian.
"Yeah, sort of. I'm of Thai decent but I do know Italian it's just that I haven't practiced it for a long time and I became rusty" he answered in English.
"Oh, you're Thai too. I'm Kongphob Suthilak, you can call me Kong" the man introduced himself in Thai.
He recognised the name but didn't say anything about it. "My name is Kantaphon Luang, Kan for short" he said as they shook each other's hand.
Kongphob smiled at him. "You must've heard about me back in Thailand. It was quite a scandal. The heir of the biggest plastic manufacturer didn't show up at his own wedding and ran away with his lover" he said with a bitter smile.
Kantaphon gave a sympathetic smile. "No judgment here Phi. You love who you love"
Kongphob smiled back warmly. "Well, enough of that. What brings you here in Palermo?"
"New beginning" Kantaphon answered shortly.
"Ahm, about that Kan. Are you aware of your condition?" Kongphob carefully asked.
Kantaphon looked at him curiously. "My condtion? What condition?" He asked back.
Kongphob looked at him awkwardly and scratched his nape. "Ahh...is your...you know...with you right now?" He asked, stammering.
Kantaphon gave him a quizzical look, eyebrows scrunched up and all. "You mean?...if I have a girlfriend?" he guessed. "Are you hitting on me Phi?" he asked shocked at his own assumption.
Kongphob laughed out loud. "I know your handsome Kan but not enough for me to turn my back on my husband and child" he said after recovering from his laugh. "What I meant is, if you're boyfriend or husband is with you?"
Kantaphon immediately had that dead look in his eyes, like his soul left him. "I...no longer have one" he said and remained silent for a while. "What does that have to do with me being here and you asking me a question like that?" he asked once he got his bearings back.
Kongphob sighed. "It appears you're three months pregnant Kan. You fainting out there is one of the not-so-good side of this, but yeah. That's what your lab results are saying" he dropped the bomb as he doesn't see any other way of saying it.
Kantaphon gaped at him, and was at a loss of what to say.
"I found you passed out on the pavement and brought you here. Do you have anyone with you here or you want me to call anyone for you?" Kongphob asked after not getting any response from Kantaphon.
"Uhm, no Phi but thanks. I'm staying on my own here" he answered.
Kongphob sighed. He figured that much. "Listen, I know it's a lot to take in but I'd like to take you with me. You need to sit on this and think about it carefully, okay?"
Kantaphon looked at him like a lost puppy. He remained silent but eventually nodded in agreement.
