Accidental love

25.

Beam was getting on good terms with Thorn finally after he brought him toys and candies, but still, he got a glare whenever he patted Ming's head. He always found it amazing how Thorn is possessive of Ming just like Forth. The doctors wanted to make sure that Ming is completely healthy, so the discharge was getting delayed much to the latter's dislike. Ming thought that he might get discharged at least before his hubby's birthday, but the doctors were not so understanding.

Even his P'Beam didn't agree to his early discharge saying that as a doctor he won't take his health lightly and even threatened him that he will call Forth if he tried to avoid further treatment to go home. Having no other choice, Ming adamantly agreed to be more patient. Finally, Ming's discharge got approved only 2 days before his hubby's birthday with a long list of instructions and medicines. Beam was on cloud 9 as he no longer had to hide Ming from anyone or had to lie to his friends.

Ming knew how difficult it was for Beam to keep him away from others and maintain the secret. He thanked him for all his help while Beam gave him a playful glare. The next morning, Beam was busy playing with Thorn in the hospital room while Ming went to get ready to return home. Beam felt proud of himself and was grinning like a madman when Thorn finally gave him a gummy smile without any hint of glare in the eyes. Ming came to the room seeing a baby and a childish doctor busy playing with each other. 

Beam noticed Ming's presence while Thorn made grabby hands to his mae. Ming carried Thorn who wrapped himself around his neck. Beam told him that he messaged the whole gang to meet him at the beach tomorrow morning as he has a big announcement to make. He said that he deliberately told them that it was something life-changing for all of them so that none of them would take it lightly and will gather as instructed. He stood proudly in front of Ming while telling his great plan. 

Beam said that he booked a villa-cum-resort at the beach already so that they can enjoy their time with the whole gang and also maintain their privacy from other tourists. He also asked the doctors if Ming could travel back to which the doctors gave a green light. He said that he will take both of them to the beach today and will take care of the rest of the work. He also made sure to apply for a leave for him, Pha, and Kit along with submitting a leave for PoshWai and Yo in the college without letting them know i.e. all thanks to his dad and the understanding dean of the college.

Ming feels elated that he could finally meet his family back and had misty eyes. Beam tells him that he threatened all of them that if none of them show up or even if a single soul is missing, then he would never talk to any of them in his life. Ming chuckles knowing that the last line would make everyone come to the beach as all of them know that Beam never gives fake threats. Beam shows Ming his phone and tells him how it has been buzzing the whole time since he left the message in the group.

All the friends and especially his kitty has filled his phone with so many messages and calls, but he ignored it to not bust out the secret accidentally. Ming reminds him that P'Kit would get so angry for making him stressed too and Beam gives a nervous laugh. Of course, for a second he forgot how his kitty could get angry and unleash hell on him. Ming laughs at his scared phi who is busy thinking about how to save his life from the Satan form of his boyfriend.

They finished all the final discharge work by afternoon and left the hospital. The whole ride Ming was nervous and excited at the same time while Beam was trying to lighten his nong's mind by making small jokes. By evening, they all reached the beach resort where Beam led him to the room booked for Forth. Beam said that he made sure that their room is away from others so that no one can interrupt their "alone time" as Forth won't leave Ming for a second once he discovers his presence. 

Beam continues making his not-so-decent jokes while Ming is trying to save his poor soul from him. He has already turned bright red since the mention of "alone time" as he is well aware of the outcome of it. Beam laughs on seeing Ming turning into 50 shades of red. After showing Ming his room, he left for his room and check on other last-minute touch-ups. Later, they both share an early dinner while Beam and Thorn are busy fighting each other over the sweet dessert. They both leave for their room with so many emotions in their heart. 

Ming rocks Thorn while feeling excited, nervous, and gods know what while thinking about his husband whom he would finally see the next day. On the other hand, Beam feels relieved and excited at the same time. He thanks God for allowing him to bring back his friend's life that was too fit and fine. He feels that God gave him this chance to redeem his mistake of betraying Ming while in college. Even though he was forgiven by the latter, there was always a part of him that felt guilty of everything that happened.

But, this time, getting an opportunity to do something for Ming and his happiness, has helped him to redeem his past mistakes and let go of the guilty feeling in his heart. He wipes the tear from his eyes and thinks about everyone's reaction, especially Forth's, on seeing Ming and Thorn. He is also nervous about how the situation will turn out tomorrow and the amount of interrogation he will go through from his friends. But most importantly, he is scared of his grumpy kitty who might have planned his murder in different forms by now for ignoring him. He just prays that everything is done so far be worth it.
