Vanilla Boy

Chapter 26

Beam glared at Phana and Kit. He put his pencil on the table, then straightened and folded his arms in front of his chest. "What is it?" asked Beam coldly.

Phana stroked the nape of the neck in an awkward manner. "What are your plans after today's class, Beam?" Phana asked nervously.

Kit looked down, pretending to count the grain lines on the table.

Beam sighed. "What's more? Go back to the dorms and sleep. I also need a long soak to ease my urge to go to Forth and ask him to make love, because you said I shouldn't see him because he probably hasn't realized where he went wrong!"

Phana was surprised because Beam's voice was getting louder. "Eer ... Beam, you have to come with us somewhere, then," continued Phana.

"No!" rejected Beam without asking.

Kit grabbed Beam's hand on the table and looked at him pitifully. "Please, Beam, you must come with us."

Beam's brows furrowed. It's not unusual for Phana to be so nervous and Kit so scared.

"What's the matter with you guys?" asked Beam annoyed.

Phana didn't answer and neither did Kit. They just exchanged glances while smiling weakly. Beam didn't ask again. The three of them returned to class after lunch was over.

In class, Beam stared at his phone blankly. It's been two days without a message from Forth at all. Beam was worried. He wanted to go to Forth in his dormitory, but his feelings of shame, irritation, and fear still made him sway.

What if Forth rejected him because he felt that Beam didn't believe him. What if Forth really has a special relationship with Wayo?

Beam is tired, sleepy, and sad. His work piled up, he couldn't sleep because he missed Forth.

Phana and Kit tell him not to forgive Forth so easily, because he might be playing with Beam. They know that Forth had a crush on Wayo before.

And why is Forth not texting again these two days. Is he sick? Or he was tired of persuading Beam. Was he being outrageous and hard to persuade?

"Beam, come on," Kit whispered in Beam's ear. "The professor's out of class. We're going now before it's too late."

Beam wanted to refuse but Phana and kit flanked him. They take Phana's car to a place. Phana and Kit looked very tense. Beam closed his eyes and tried to sleep.

"Beam, wake up, we're here," Kit said, shaking Beam a little. Beam squirmed and straightened his back, before catching up with Kit and Phana who had already descended first.

Beam stared at a building like a warehouse in front of him. He took Kit's hand. "Hey, what is this place?"

Kit turned and Beam was shocked when he saw Kit crying. "Kit? Why are you crying? What's the matter? Pha, hey, tell me what's wrong?"

Phana looked very pale and his lips were trembling. "Beam, I'm really sorry. I shouldn't have held you back so long to test Forth. However, we did it because we love you. We were worried about you. But now it seems it's turning on us."

Beam was really pissed off now. He grabbed Kit and Phana's hands. "I don't understand what's going on right now, what has that got to do with what you're going through. I'm already stressed enough not to be able to meet Forth and talk to him and for the past two days he's even stopped texting me. Whatever's in that warehouse I'll take care of this right now and then you, Pha, will drive fast and take me straight to the Forth's place. I want him to fuck me endlesly to ease my stress! Now, move!"

Dragging Kit and Phana, Beam walked straight towards the open barn door. The barn looked freshly painted, with army green and brown on the windows and doors. Even the garden in front of him looked neat with the grass trimmed short.

Beam kicks the door as both of his hands are holding Phana and Kit. The warehouse was large and empty. Beam narrowed his eyes.

Phana and Kit let go of their hands together and ran to the middle of the warehouse. There were two chairs in the middle of the barn and there were two people sitting on them, their backs to the door and apparently tied up.

Beam caught up with Phana and Kit quickly and gasped. Mond and Ming were tied to a chair. Their eyes were covered with black cloth.

"Phi Kit, is that you?" Ming asked, stuttering because it was dark.

Kit cries while unscrewing Ming's eyes and Beam gets even more shocked when Phana does the same to Mond with teary eyes.

Beam was about to scream in confusion when suddenly a large motorbike burst into the warehouse and stopped right in front of him while braking hard.

Beam jumped back and the driver took off and threw his helmet quickly. Beam gasped. Its Forth.

"Baby!" Forth hugged Beam, then pulled away from Beam and looked him up and down, turned his body, turned him forward again, even feeling Beam's head, cheeks, and shoulders. His face looked very worried and he hugged Beam tightly and buried his head in Beam's neck.

"F-Forth?" Beam was very surprised. Beam's shoulders and neck were now wet. Forth crying?

"Forth, why are you crying? Are you sick?" Beam hugged Forth and stroked his back gently. Why did Forth's back feel so thin. Where are the tough, tough muscles?

Forth distanced himself from Beam. His eyes were dark and deep-pouched, his face was a bit pale too and Beam had just noticed that Forth's body was hot. "I will kill any bastard who dares to kidnap and harm you, Beam, I swear!" growled Forth.

Beam is shocked, so are Phana and Kit.

"Forth? Beam is coming with us. Ming and Mond are kidnapped. Look!" Kit is inflamed.

Ming and Mond looked at Forth with confused eyes. Their mouths and the bonds on their hands and feet have not been removed.

Forth was still hugging Beam, looking at Ming and Mond in confusion. "Why were they kidnapped?"

Phana removed the duct tape from Mond's mouth. "I received a message from your phone. I am so scared." said Phana falteringly.

His eyes watered as he untied all the ropes binding Mond. Kit follows what Phana did and frees Ming.

"Babe, I can understand Kit did it for Ming since they're a couple, but...Phana...and Mond?" Whispered Forth in Beam's ear.

Beam stared at Forth, ignoring the people behind him. He grabbed Forth's neck and kissed him.

Beam poured all his longing feelings into the kiss. Forth greeted the kiss as deeply.

"I'm sorry, Forth, forgive my stupidity and selfishness," whispered Beam against Forth's lips. "I love you, Forth."

"I am stupid, Babe, I am sorry. I love you, only love you, Babe." Forth smiled at Beam's lips then fell on the floor.

"Forth!" everyone screams in shock
