Aug - Vacation Job

4 : Sick of You

Beam is in the middle of packing his luggage when his phone rings. He peeks at the number flashing on the screen but he didn't recognise it so he leaves it unattended. Beam doesn't like to receive calls from an unknown number moreover a new one in concern that the number is just a spam caller.

He has another phone he uses for working where he saves all the hospital personnel numbers for convenience but Phana has it confiscated much to his despair.

Phana doesn't want him to indulge himself in work-related matters as long as he is in his vacation mode.

His private personal number was known to limited people only mainly family, friends and those who he deems necessary in his life. But that new number had been messing with his peaceful mind by calling him for like ten times already.

Maybe it's Phana or someone at the hospital.

"It's Forth."

"Forth who?" Beam knew who it is.

"Really Beam?"

Forth is soo unamused by Beam's answer. Is he that forgettable? He is Forth fucking Jamornhum, the most eligible bachelor in the country. "Do you know another Forth other than me?" Forth asked again.

"Well, Wayo does. He said that the Forth he knew is a devil."

"..."

Forth is cursing at himself right now. Of course, he talks to his brother. Damn it! His public image will ruin his chance instantly in his quest to court this man.

"You're not a devil though. You seem pretty nice last night." It was meant to be sarcastic but Forth interpretation is off at the moment because he didn't know that Beam had already seen through their real intentions.

Forth cough, choking up on his own breath.

"Hey, are you alright?"

"I'm...good.." Forth manage to say between his coughing spree which was embroidered with happiness and guilts.

"Why do you call? And more importantly, how did you get my phone number? I don't remember giving it out to anyone at the hotel."

Forth becomes flustered. "Ming he...uhm..."

"Ahh...still doesn't trust me a bit, I supposed? Even after I saved you? You guys are so obvious I feel insulted. It feels like my dignity was being stepped on you know." Beam implied because he wanted to verify his theory based on what he had observed last night.

"What do you mean?"

"The watch? The money? The repeated questions? Now secretly checking my phone? What happens to privacy? You even slept on the same bed with me just so you can test my what? Trustworthiness? Self-control? I'm not stupid young master.

"..."

"So, if you have nothing to say now, I have a bag to pack."

"Beam wait... We...I didn't mean to...It was just for a precaution. You know...I.."

Shit, he just confirmed it. I am officially, overly disappointed right now.

He was right. They bring him there to test him. Rich people and their paranoia. Beam feels disgusted all of a sudden. He for once doesn't want to have any connection with them in the first place. He helps him out of compassion as a human being and for him to be humiliated like that...he rather has the lady slap him in the face once more.

Tsk!

"A thank you is good enough Forth and guess what I think you've said it. So well, we owe each other nothing. I'm sincere in helping you. Thanks for the good sleep and the nice view. Bye. Hope we never cross paths again or I swear my hand will cause your handsome gorgeous face to be wounded if we ever meet again cause I'm so fucking mad at you right now!!!"
