Being Loved [Completed]

Chapter 8

*** After meeting with Kongpob, Forth comes back to his home

Beam is preparing dinner in the kitchen when he heard muffled sounds in the living room. He peeked out to see Forth slumped on the sofa in the living room. Smiling, he turned off the stove and approached his husband

"How was your day, Hubby?"

"Good" Forth replied, still in the same position, closing his eyes. Sensing the stress in Forth's posture, Beam questioned

"What happened, Forth? Any work-related stress?"

"Kongpob was attacked!" Forth said lazily

"What? How? Should I visit him?" Forth didn't expect Beam to react worried. As far as he knows, Beam doesn't like to listen much about Kongpob, so he also gradually stopped telling things. Even though he's not sure about what happened exactly in the meeting with Beam and Kongpob, he saw how Kongpob became distant from him and kept things only professionally. It pained him a lot but understanding Kongpob's situation, he didn't voice out his conflicts.

"Why are you worried about him? Last time I checked; you were not interested in 'Kongpob's stuff'"

"yes, but this is an attack. Please tell me what happened?"

"Someone misbehaved with him at ice-cream parlor and he fought with them and got wounds. He said he already did his first aid, just like how he used to do for years, alone" Forth explained, stressing the last sentence. Beam started to feel guilty for his behavior with Kongpob last time but didn't express anything. Observing the change in expressions, Forth placed his hand on Beam's hand, which bought him back to the present.

"Why don't you freshen up? Let's have dinner" Beam asked with a weak smile. Forth nodded, understanding his husband may need some time alone. Once Forth is out of reach, he immediately picked up his mobile phone and called Kongpob but went unanswered.

*** Next day Morning

"Tay, are you free today?" Beam called up his doctor friend with whom he's best friends from Medical college, a psychologist by profession.

"What happened, Beam?"

"Let's meet and talk" Beam is been restless from last night and not sure but he's not feeling things right when it concerns Kongpob

"Sure, come by Lunchtime. It's been so long, we had lunch together. Even after working in the same hospital, you have always been busy with surgeries and patients"

"I'll be on time"

***Lunchtime

"What happened buddy? You look stressed" Tay directly came to the point. This is one of the reasons why Beam wanted to speak with him rather than his husband. Tay doesn't beat around the bush and always speaks straight to the point, no matter how much bitter the truth is.
