It was an intimate ceremony. Only family and selected friends were invited to the wedding. Their closest friends in college were present with their spouses and a few select members of their staff. Max was there with his husband, Tul and their son, Sage. On a sad note, the Suthilaks were not able to attend and so is Bjorn.
Kongphob was busy with the transition of KluWorx to be under his management while Arthit has his hands full due to it being the busiest season for the retaurant. Their sons and Bjorn are in the middle of quiz week. Even though there are bodyguards who can take Bjorn alone to Bangkok, Forth and Beam, as well as their family isn't comfortable with him travelling like that.
With the help of technology, Bjorn and the Suthilak boys were almost present in the event. Blake took it to himself to work on having it on live broadcast to the boys in Italy.
The couple was both wearing white suits. The wedding was held in a five star hotel which was one of the first projects made by KluWorx in Bangkok. Everything was in white. From the pearls and flowers hanging from the ceiling to the tablecloths and centrepieces. The fairy lights dropped from the ceiling creates the effect of diamonds sparkling. It really showed how wealthy both families are.

Selected press members were also invited to ensure only facts and approved photos would be published. Forth has been very strict regarding his privacy, which also includes his family's privacy. They made sure that whatever publication would be regarding the wedding would not include any mentions of both Bjorn and Jaron as they would not like to endanger them to greedy people, not because they are hiding them.
Forth was busy mingling around with their guests when Phana and Kit sat in the newly wedded couple's table and joined Beam.
"Congratulations Dr. Jamornhum" Phana greeted his best friend using his new surname.
"Gee, thanks Pha" Beam said.
"Finally Beam, after ten fucking years...even though you just met like a week ago again" Kit said with an eyeroll.
Phana chuckled. "So easy for both of you to pick up where you left off"
Beam sighed. "I know I was quite busy to give you an update this week. With the wedding and Forth being here...but I could tell he's not the same Forth I dated...he's different" he confided in them.
Phana raised an eyebrow and observed the man they are talking about. "Hmmm...give him time Beam. Given the situation that wretched man slammed into him, he'd most likely be cautious. Just let him feel that you're an improved version of the man you were before"
Kit nodded. "Show him how you've grown, that you're no longer the tsundere we all know. You gave him hell back then, show him you're no longer that. I could sense you still hold that spot Beammie, hang in there"
"Yeah, he's still a goner for you Beam" Phana agreed. "Have you talked about what happened?"
Beam sighed once more. "He doesn't want to talk about it yet. That's what he told me the day we met again. I've tried bringing it up the past few days since he was staying in my condo while waiting for the wedding but we always end up naked in bed and not discussing anything" he said, a bit frustratedly.
"Just let him be for now. He'll come around Beam. One thing I know is that Forth loved you so much back then and I could still see that in him. Give him time" Phana said as he tapped his best friend on the shoulder.
"If it's a clean slate he wants to pretend to have, give it to him Beam. It's time you adjust for him since he did the first time around. As long as he treats both you and Jaron right, I won't butt in" Kit said.
"I don't think he has anything against the kid, look" Phana asked for their attention.
Beam and Kit followed their friend's line of sight. They saw Forth warming up with Jaron at the table where Beam and Forth's parents are. Just then, as if Forth felt their gaze on him, he looked up and gave them a smile.
At their parents' table...
"Hey buddy" Forth greeted the ten year old boy
"Hello" Jaron answered shyly. He is unsure what to call Forth.
Forth could see the hesitation in Jaron. He dropped down on one knee so he could look into the boy's eyes. "Hmmm...are you scared of me?" He asked, voice full of warmth.
Jaron looked down and hid his eyes behind his bangs. "No ahm...Uncle" he said timidly.
"Hmmm...something sounds wrong there. You have your Papa already so how about you call me Dad?" Forth asked with a gentle smile.
Jaron beamed at him. From that angle he was reminded of Bjorn, who was back in Italy. 'Of course, they'd have similarity. It was Beam who sired both of them' Forth thought to himself.
"There's that smile" Forth grinned as he caressed the boy's cheek. "You remind me of my son"
Jaron perked up at that. "I have a brother?"
"Yes, he's the same age as you and you both have the same smile" Forth said fondly.
"Will he like me? I'm not that cool unlike other kids" Jaron said as he looked down at his lap once more.
"Who says you're not cool? Hmmm" Forth said as he moved to stand and pulled the boy up gently before sitting on his chair and letting him sit on his lap. "We'll beat them to a pulp. You're as handsome as your Papa and I bet you're as intelligent as he is. Do not let others put you down just because you don't do the same things that they do, hmm" he whispered on the boy's ear.
Jaron looked at him admiringly. "Thanks Dad" he murmured as he leaned his head on Forth's chest.
Both their parents watch the scene with affection. It was the first time that Forth and Jaron met ever since the older man arrived in Bangkok. The boy stays at his grandmother's house in Chiang Mai and only gets to be with Beam during his rest days.
