Accidental love

9.

Forth has brought Ming to a nearby café on Friday after much coaxing earlier. Their classes got canceled, so he plans to spend some time with Ming. Ming can see that something is going on in this hazer's mind and how he is struggling to share his thoughts. When he sees no sign of Forth starting the conversation, he asks him directly what is bothering him. 

Forth is startled by Ming's question. He takes a deep sigh and takes both Ming's hands into his. He tells Ming that before they go any further in the future, he wants that the latter to cut all strings from the past.

Forth has been feeling that Ming is holding himself back because he never got a proper closure from Kit, which is somewhere becoming the hurdle for them to move further. Ming is dumbfounded hearing this and that's when he realizes that he hasn't talked to any of them since that day. Even, the breakup was indirect thanks to Wai.

Ming has been so busy with his issues that he completely forgot about them. But, what amazes him is that P'Forth feels that they aren't moving further because he is still somewhere holding on to the past. He can't tell him that his ex is not the cause of their situation, but his fear is.

Forth tell him that it is the weekend and they can talk to Kit or even Ming can talk to Kit alone if he wants because both of them need to get proper closure and move on in life. He ensures Ming that he will be right by his side as he knows how difficult it is for him to forget and forgive all. 

Ming loves this caring nature of P'Forth and is surprised seeing this side of him as he was always known as a cold and scary leader. He nods saying that he will talk to Kit and then to the rest of them much to Forth's happiness. They finish their breakfast with a little talk here and there. Ming calls Kit for a meetup to which the latter eagerly agrees.

ForthMing waits in the café when BeamKit arrives. Ming can see how Kit is trembling behind Beam while both of them are trying hard to compose themselves. Forth leaves Ming alone with them while he waits outside in his car, whereas, Ming greets both of them politely much to their shock. 

They have expected hatred, disgust, curse words, or worse getting hit by either Forth or Ming, but here they are being greeted with respect by the person whom they cheated on. Ming knows what's going on in their mind, so he starts the conversation directly without beating the bush. 

Ming looks directly into Kit's eyes and tells him how hurt he was over his betrayal not only by his boyfriend but also the senior whom he respected a lot. BeamKit knows their mistake well. They have been struggling all this while to get over it or do something to resolve it, but no one has that much courage knowing how badly they messed up. 

Surprisingly to them, Ming says that he understands how hard it might have been to realize his feelings for Beam while being in a relationship with him. He understands how Kit might have struggled silently whenever they were together. He might have a battle with himself every day to confront him, but his fear would have stopped him every single time.

Ming says that he was distraught when he found out everything and was in a rage, but not anymore. He can't impose his feelings on others and neither can they, it has to be mutual. Undoubtedly, the way everything happened was not expected, but still, it was better for everyone. The more they hold back and lie, the more it would hurt later. He forgives both of them and wishes them well for their life followed by a small apology for Wai's hardcore punch.

Both BeamKit is in tears hearing Ming's confession. They are crying for hurting such a good soul. They always saw Ming's cheerful nature, flirty behavior, outgoing personality, and even the scary aura, but they never thought that Ming could be this understanding and mature. They both hug him tight and apologize repeatedly while Ming ensures them that he is not mad anymore. 

Forth has been watching them from afar, but came in when he saw BeamKit hugging Ming. Well, he feels relaxed that they talked everything out but is not liking the unending hug between the trio. No, he won't admit he is jealous, never. Here is trying hard to improve his relationship and move further and there his baby's ex and his current boyfriend are hugging him like the world is ending. 

When he can't take anymore, he pulls Ming back while the latter wipes their tears. Forth also soothes Ming's back to calm him down and says soothing words while BeamKit sees how caring Forth is towards Ming. They are not new to the news of Forth and Ming, no one is, that is why they were even more scared to approach Ming to talk or apologize to him. 

BeamKit and PhaYo were beyond shock when the news of Ming being marked by Forth came out. It was already difficult for them to reach out to him or talk to him since Wai threatened them. And now him being Forth's boyfriend made it 10 times worse as no one wanted to face Forth's wrath for hurting what's his.  

They get seated and after everyone feels calm and comfortable, BeamKit greets Forth to which he nods calmly. All of them feel a weight lifted off their chest, but still, there is an awkward silence between them. Ming points out that they all should have a meetup to forget their past and start a new beginning to which everyone agrees. They all leave for their home after a small chit-chat. 

Forth settles in the car, but asks Ming again and again if he is fine to which the latter nods. Still, he is looking deep into his eyes trying to find any hidden feeling or pain, but there is none. And here, Ming feels shy seeing the sharp stare from Forth who has no plan to avert his gaze anytime soon. Ming reaches out to Forth's hands and ensures him that he is completely fine and over his past giving his best smile. 

Forth's heart skip a beat seeing that precious smile and those sparkling eyes. It takes him a lot of self-control to not hover his baby there and then. He pecks on Ming's forehead and starts driving while the latter is tomato red.
