Accidental love

5.

Ming doesn't remember how long he has been lost in his thoughts that he didn't hear the loud banging on his door or the n number of missed calls on his phone. Whereas, Wai is losing his cool when he does not get any reply from Ming. Even Posh feels scared of Wai's angry aura that is increasing every second. 

Posh finally breaks the door lock and enters the room while Wai shoots towards Ming who is sitting lifeless near the window on the cold floor. He jolts up when Wai pats on his shoulder and notices their presence. 

Meanwhile, Posh glances over the messy bed where Ming's reports are lying near the laptop. He checks the reports and is frozen to his place while Wai looks at 2 statues in front of him with a "like seriously" look. He snatches the paper from Posh's hand and feels struck by light when he reads it. 

Ming hung his head low feeling that his friends might feel disgusted with him and feels tears pooling his eyes. Suddenly 2 pairs of warm hands engulf him into a tight hug whispering soothing and comforting things. PoshWai comes out of trance when they hear soft sobbing sounds from Ming who held his head low like a guilty caught in a crime. They move towards him and hug him tight to calm him. 

After a few minutes, they loosen the hug and ensure Ming that they still are with him no matter what as they can see the scared look on their friend's face of being judged. Ming feels protected and warm hearing the reassurance from them and takes a deep breath. 

Wai inquires about the report, so Ming tells them about his symptoms avoiding the glare by both of his friends and inform about the baby. They both are so happy with the news, but also understand Ming's worries and insecurities.

The biggest question trio has is the next step to this situation, but Posh shrugs it saying that Ming's health is more important right now and everything else can wait. For now, he should focus on his and his baby's health rather than worrying about all those stupid insecurities. 

PoshWai knows how great their friend is when it comes to taking care of himself, so they don't want to take chances especially when there is another life at stake. They both plead with Ming either to stay with them or they will shift with him until they are sure that he is healthy and safe, but Ming is being his stubborn self who doesn't want to bother others with his issues. He declines their every offer saying that he is strong enough and will make sure to focus on his health for his baby. 

The mother hen seeing the reluctance and "will-handle-everything-alone" attitude of his friend just drags the latter out of the dorm to his car while Posh is packing everything from Ming's clothes, reports, and other necessary items. One sharp glare from Wai has shut Ming up who is pouting in the back seat of their car while Posh drives them to his place. 

PoshWai was gifted a small and cozy apartment by their parents as their engagement gift that is near to the college and more spacious as compared to the dorm. Per Wai, Ming should stay in a comfortable cozy place under his friend's care instead of staying at a small dorm all alone cooped up in a corner to which even Ming can't retort. 

They reach the house where Posh helps Ming settle in the guestroom on the ground floor while Wai goes to the kitchen to prepare dinner. Ming also agrees to everything since Posh talked him out especially for the baby's sake, but also feels scared to decline anything seeing the cold glare from Wai.

After dinner, the trio is sitting in the hall when Posh asks Ming if he wants to tell P'Forth. Ming says that P'Forth hasn't even talked to him or even simply text him since that day. For him, he is only 1 of his nightstands and nothing else. Moreover, he is scared of his reaction, so it's better to stay away from him as much as possible.

Posh doesn't want to push further, so he doesn't talk about it more. But, he informs Ming that he applied for his medical leave at the college for a few days, so that he can solely focus on his health while he and Wai will get all the notes for him. Ming nods and thanks his friends for being a great help. 

In his room, Ming is lying down on his bed and caressing his stomach unconsciously. He feels a sudden pull to protect the little bean from every possible threat around them to a point where he didn't let Wai touch his belly earlier during the dinner. He wants to hide his baby from the world or anyone who wants to take it away from him. 

This is 1 of the main reasons he doesn't want to tell his parents or P'Forth who has the right to know. He feels scared that P'Forth or his parents might not accept his condition and his baby or worse force him to abort the baby. He promises himself and the baby that he will do everything in his power to protect him and will stand strong for both of them. He can't let his fear and insecurities overpower him especially when it's about his baby.
