Accidental love

26.

The morning brings different kinds of emotions for everyone. For Ming, it is excitement and nervousness to meet his P'Forth and friends. For Beam, it's the excitement to see everyone's reaction to Ming along with the fear of his Kitty who is probably on his way to kill him mercilessly followed by the rest. For Thorn, it's happiness for getting the bewb and cuddling on his mae's chest all night, but the little monster also seems to be curious about his mae's antics who has been pacing back and forth in the room since waking up.  

'Mae do what. Mae walking so fast. Baby head goes round and round. Mae does not take the baby to bathe. Mae always says it is important to do daily, then why not take it now. Baby always goes with mae to wash and play with water. No taking today. But why?' Thorn thinks curiously while his doe eyes are busy watching his mae pacing all over the room. He tries to get his mae's attention but feels like failing, so he decides to use his trump card. He turns teary and wails out loud enough to bring Ming back to reality. 

On the other hand in the city, the whole gang has gathered in front of Forth's house to start their journey as per his highness Beam's instruction. Thanks to Pha and Yo who are holding a deathly Kit in their embrace. No one even dares to ask the already ready-to-kill Kit if he knows anything about his boyfriend's antics who has been ignoring all of them like a plaque since he sent the text. They all decided to go together taking 2 cars instead of reaching individually. So, ParkLam and PoshWai ride in Park's car while PhaYo, Kit, and Forth decide to ride along in Pha's car. 

While at the villa, Ming has finally calmed the wailing Thorn and finished their morning routine. They go out to meet Beam and have a heartfelt breakfast. Ming is busy trying to feed Thorn some food who is avoiding it as if it is the last thing he wants to have on earth. Finally, the young master has settled with a few fruit pulp and porridge bites. Beam shakes his head seeing Thorn struggle to get away from his mae who is trying to feed him.

After breakfast, Ming tells Beam that he requested the villa manager to let him prepare a cake for his husband to which the manager agreed after much pleading. Beam shakes his head in denial saying that he will order the whole food thing and Ming should only rest as it will be a long day for him. Also, the fact that he just got a hold of his health, doesn't let Beam allow his nong to do anything except rest.

Ming pouts and tries to plead with him to let him make the cake ignoring the latter's concern for his health. Beam tries hard and even uses Forth's name saying that his husband won't be happy and might kill Beam for letting his wifey work. Ming shakes his head and stands firm on his decision while adding the pout and puppy eyes. He remembers how Beam would give in whenever Yo would use this trick. And, just like that, the senior takes a defeated sigh while Ming grins widely. 

In the next 2-3 hours, Ming managed to bake a cake in the kitchen with some help from the chef while he distracted Thorn with the toys in 1 corner of that room. He requested them to keep it safe until midnight and he will get it at that time. Ming goes and carries Thorn back to their room. Beam, in the meantime, arranged everything else and updated Ming. He suggested Ming take a rest after making the cake and even get Thorn some sleep as it might be difficult later because no one is going to leave him alone. 

Beam decided to stay out of the villa and wait for the rest of them. He wanders around while enjoying the warmth of the sun when he hears some sounds. He notices 2 cars coming in his direction while Beam prepares himself to stand in front of the gang without ruining the plan. He texted Ming about the gang's entry before anyone could get out of the car and started bombarding him with questions. Soon, the poor soul is surrounded by his friends who are giving him deathly glares. 

Beam tries hard to avoid those eyes that are killing him every second. Kit loses his patience on finally seeing Beam. He launches at the latter with a hard punch in the stomach. Beam tumbles backward while Pha grabs Kit back. Park asks Beam to give them all a good reason for messing with them. Beam gives them a nervous chuckle and asks them to gather in the living area of the villa first as he will explain everything there. Everyone looks at each other and follows Beam to the villa. They all take their seat on the couch while looking at Beam for a good explanation. 

Beam, on the other hand, asks them to calm down and stop giving him those death glares. He has a surprise for all of them but asks them to give him a few minutes. He signals the chef who brings a few refreshing drinks followed by other workers while he takes a leave saying that he will be back in a minute. Beam leaves them and goes to Ming's room while others focus on Beam's retreating. They look at each other and then back at the site where Beam went while taking the drinks.  

On the other hand, Ming stood near the glass window when he saw Beam's message. He saw everyone getting out of the car and circling Beam. His breathing stopped the moment his eyes went to Forth. Ming felt a rush of emotions on seeing everyone there. He remembers all the time he spent with them and wipes off the tears from his eyes. His moment breaks when someone pats his shoulder. He turns around to see Beam standing behind him. Ming takes a deep sigh and relaxes.

Beam tries to lighten his mood by teasing the latter. Beam asks him to stop drooling over Forth and come out with him to finally meet the rest. Ming feels shy and extremely nervous to face everyone, especially his P'Forth. Ming look at the small cradle arranged in one corner of the room where Thorn was sleeping. Beam suggests Ming let Thorn sleep in the cradle while he goes out to see others. He says that he will bring Thorn out once everyone calms down after seeing Ming. 

Beam tells him that everyone will cause chaos once seeing him that would wake up Thorn who might cry. Ming doesn't want to leave Thorn alone but also doesn't want to ruin his sleep. Seeing the latter's struggle, Beam ensures that he asked a helper to stay with Thorn for a few minutes until he comes to get him. He will bring Thorn out once everyone calms down so that Thorn can continue sleeping soundly even in others' presence. Ming knows that he won't be greeted without chaos for sure which will affect Thorn, so he agrees with Beam. Ming checks on Thorn before leaving the room while Beam leads the way. 

Taking a few steps out of the room, Ming starts fidgeting and rambling his stupid excuses to wait for some more time before meeting the rest as he doesn't feel ready. Beam gives him an unamused look while persuading him to walk. After much assurance and lastly a cold glare from Beam helped Ming to calm his crazily beating heart. Beam, feeling no choice left, drags Ming with him. Beam takes wide steps towards the hall thinking that he should have booked the front room for ForthMing instead of the end room in the hallway, so they all could see each other just after walking out of the door. 

Ming hides behind Beam with his head down while being dragged by the senior. He feels like having cold sweats due to his nervousness. He finds the floor much better to look at than the view in front. The gang never left the attention from the way Beam's retrieving back, finally sees Beam walking towards them. They try to crane their neck to see what the latter was dragging along, but of no use. Finally, Beam comes near the living area. He looks at those curious eyes and steps aside without saying a word.
