Our Secret (A MingPha Story)

16. Unexpected Ambush

"Beam?" Forth pops his head out of the shower with a wet towel. "Where are you going?"

Beam pauses at the door, his frown is visible on his beautiful, pale face. He glances back at Forth, seeing his magnificent body exposed before him. Normally, Beam would be overwhelmed by the horniness and start a seduction plan. But, not today.

"I'm gonna check on Phana, somehow I just feel like something is off. Just want to make sure he's okay," Beam bites his lip. His spine is getting chills as the hour gets closer by the minute. Beam catches Forth's worried expression and his heart melts.

"I'll be okay, baby," Beam walks into Forth's open arms. "I promise I'll be careful."

"I don't want to lose you," Forth murmurs into Beam's hair. "You're my everything."

Beam stays in Forth's embrace, feeling their touch. After a while, Forth releases him and gives a brighter smile. "Hurry back baby, I'll wait for you." Beam smiles and closes the door.

"Type," Kao calls out in his study, alerting his assistants.

"Krap, Khun Kao," A tall, dark-skinned figure with distinct features steps forward. His hands stay behind his back, and his chest puffs out in confidence.

"Clear the premises, you know my cue," Kao sends a signal and nods. Type leaves immediately. Kao's other assistant remains in the dark, waiting for orders.

"Korn."

The remaining figure steps into the light, facing Kao with the same stoic expression. He holds the same position as Type, both of them being Kao's closest subordinates. His light-coloured hair gleams in the darkness, sharp eyes flickering around its surroundings.

"Go, you know what to do," Kao watches the clock. The time is tickling. Slowly but deadly.

It is time.

Korn nods solemnly and leaves the room. Kao rests his eyes a little and opens them. "Any suspicion?" Earth walks into the room from the balcony.

"Clear."

Kao nods, circling his thumb around his earpiece. They are starting to move. He sends a short pip of several seconds over the sound piece, alerting his team. He glances back at Earth, somehow they sense the same vibration echoing in the halls.

Earth walks to Kao without a word and exchanges their earpieces. He then leaves the room, listening to the conversation taking place. Kao listens to the other, Kaownah is on the move. If he's moving, it only means one thing.

He slowly stands and leaves the room, quickening his pace. He needs to hurry!

War has begun.

"Mingkwan?" Phana rubs his eyes in the darkness. Ming is nowhere to be seen. His anxiety immediately splashes onto him and Phana jumps out of bed. He sees the bathroom empty and his heart breaks. He dashes to the balcony and notices a faint light in the distance.

Phana knows something is wrong. Mingkwan would not leave him alone. Kit and Beam are nowhere in the room as planned. He debates his actions to leave the room or stay hidden. Finally, he decides to leave.

Crash!

Phana jumps again at the crashing sound of glass shattering. He is scared. He steps into the hallway, wary of his surroundings constantly looking back and forth. He wants to find Mingkwan.
