Accidental love

8.

Forth feels bad with the sudden loss of touch while Ming is trying hard to avoid his gaze. Ming says that he is not sure what to say right now to which Forth assures him that he doesn't have to answer him or decide right now. He can take all the time he wants, but let him be around and not avoid him to which Ming nods. 

Ming leaves the room asap while Forth feels a heavyweight lifted from his chest. He knows that it is difficult for Ming to digest all this new information or to return his feelings the very next second. He is happy that at least Ming didn't reject him and asked for some time. Forth will do everything to show Ming his love, care, and sincerity so that Ming never leaves him. 

Forth is busy with his thoughts when Lam comes to the room and hits him on the head bringing him back to reality. He asks whether he talks to Ming or not while Forth grins like an idiot earning an unamused look from Lam. They both go to the canteen where everyone is waiting impatiently and pray that their leader didn't make a mistake again using his not-so-smart brain. 

Forth settles there and tells them everything while others are relieved that their king didn't get rejected on the face. Park can see the relieved look on Forth's face and the determination in those eyes that are enough to tell everyone that he will make Ming his. After a short chat, Forth is called by 1 of the seniors for the upcoming event's meeting. After he leaves, Park tells others to look out for Ming and keep the unwanted predators away.

They have made it their mission to keep all the hurdles away that could come between Forth and Ming. Thanks to their loyal friends, words spread like fire that the campus moon is marked by the king of engineering much to Forth's delight, but Ming on the other hand has no idea about it. His sole focus has been on his studies, health, and baby, so he doesn't care what happens around him. 

PoshWai also knows it and inquires Ming if he tells P'Forth about the baby, but Ming is not sure about his reaction yet and is somewhat scared of the result, so he wants to wait until he is sure about it. The duo understands it and doesn't push further on the topic.

In the evening, Forth is waiting near the parking area when Ming and PosWai arrive. Forth's face lit up seeing Ming while Ming feels nervous. Forth approach Ming to take him out for dinner while Ming feels scared to ride a bike in this condition. Seeing him fidgeting, Wai informs Forth that Ming is not allowed to ride a bike per doctor as he is still weak and gave some excuse while Forth has a concerned look on his face. 

Forth remembers how much Ming likes bike riding, but something is there that he can't understand about Ming's situation. Anyhow, he calls Lam to borrow his car while Lam takes his bike back to the dorm. Forth takes Ming to the nearby restaurant for dinner while Ming feels happy about the small gesture where Forth left his bike for him and focused more on his comfort. 

Forth orders grilled chicken for himself while Ming only asks for porridge which sounds weird to Forth. Now how can Ming tell him that everything that he eats makes him feel nauseated followed by vomiting? Only porridge seems to do well with his stomach. But, he just shrugs by saying that he is not much hungry. 

Forth finds it weird, but doesn't want to force anything, so he let Ming eat whatever he wants, but he feels much elated seeing Ming near him. He will do anything to keep that face smiling. He can see how some people are gazing over Ming especially some girls, so he pulls Ming's chair near to him and glares at whoever is drooling over his baby. 

Ming feels heat crawling upon his face seeing how Forth acts possessively in public. He doesn't care about the stares he is receiving, but he can't ignore the soft gaze from his right side and the love in those eyes which turn him tomato red. It's the 1st time some made him feel this way. He just eats his porridge with a pinkish tint over his cheeks while Forth is in awe seeing how adorable Ming looks.   

After dinner, Forth drops Ming outside PoshWai's house. He opens the door for him, but before he could leave drops a peck on Ming's forehead and ask him to stay safe and healthy to which Ming just blushed and nodded.

This went on and on where Forth would bring his car to pick Ming up every morning for college, they would eat lunch together and even Ming was invited to Forth's table or Forth would also sometime go to eat with Ming's friends. They would go for dinner and then Forth would drop him home. 

Forth even stopped going to the bar when he found that Ming does go anymore, but the junior felt bad that he was not spending much time with his friends and was always around him, so after much pleading Forth went with his friends. The engineering gang was also happy seeing the improvement and how much Ming respects their brotherhood and friendship, whereas Ming felt warm and happy when Forth's friends or his seniors accepted him and make sure not to make him uncomfortable. 

One thing that was missing all over was the skinship. Of course, Forth use to hold Ming's hand whenever possible and would never forget to drop peck on his forehead before dropping him home, but he always felt Ming getting stiff whenever he tried to get near him or even try to hold his hands. He has seen how Ming maintains a certain distance between them, but he won't let it cause any trouble. He will continue trying until Ming is comfortable enough with him. 

On the other hand, Ming would feel pampered, cared for, loved, and protected whenever he was around Forth and his gang. PoshWai were elated seeing their friend happy and progressing further but were well aware of Ming's fear. They tried to convince him to tell P'Forth, but the latter would always get cold feet. 

Ming has noticed how Forth senses his hesitance to skinship whenever he tries to get near him or even hug him but is thankful that he never tried to force himself or make him uncomfortable. He feels scared of Forth's reaction to his pregnancy. 

1st they are only uni students, 2nd male pregnancy is not something common that could be accepted by anyone, 3rd whether he would accept Ming knowing his special ability, 4th whether his parents would ever accept them, etc. Many similar thoughts run in his mind whenever he sees Forth near him.

No doubt, he likes when Forth holds his hands and pecks his forehead, but still, there are many "what ifs" going on in his mind. He is amazed seeing Forth's patience while dealing with him, but at the same time feels unsure about the revelation.
