That's the way I love you

As they boarded the plane to Koh Samui, Becky couldn't shake the annoyance she felt towards Irin for not telling her that Freen would be joining them on the trip. She wanted this trip to be an escape from her complicated feelings, but now Freen's presence would only add to the turmoil inside her.

Throughout the journey, Becky tried her best to give Freen the cold shoulder, avoiding any unnecessary interactions. Freen, on the other hand, seemed unfazed by Becky's behavior, acting as if everything was normal.

At the hotel, Irin finally revealed the surprise to Becky, and Becky couldn't help but shoot a glare at Freen. "Irin, why didn't you tell me that Freen was coming?" she asked, trying to keep her voice steady.

Irin smiled mischievously. "I thought it would be a fun surprise! Plus, I knew you two needed to talk things out."

Becky rolled her eyes, but deep down, she knew that Irin was right. Avoiding Freen wouldn't solve anything. "Fine, whatever," she muttered, not willing to admit that she was glad Freen was here.

At Koh Samui, the four of them checked into their beachfront hotel. Irin was excitedly making plans for their trip, but Becky couldn't fully enjoy the experience with Freen around. She tried her best to keep her distance from Freen, but it was challenging, especially since they were all staying in the same hotel.

Becky stood there at the hotel reception, feeling flustered and shocked by the revelation that she and Freen had to share a suite together. She couldn't believe her luck – or perhaps, misfortune – that they ended up in this situation.

"I'm sorry, but there are no more suites available in the hotel," the receptionist apologized. "However, we do have a spacious suite with one bedrooms, and it's the only option we have left. If you don't mind sharing the suite, it's still a lovely room with a beautiful ocean view."

Becky's heart sank. She glanced at Irin, who seemed to be on board with the idea, and then at Freen, who appeared surprisingly cool with it. Meanwhile, Becky was internally panicking.

"Uh, can't you check again if there's any other suite available? Or maybe we can book another room in a different hotel nearby?" Becky asked, trying to find any way out of this situation.

The receptionist shook her head apologetically. "I'm sorry, ma'am. This is the peak season, and all the other suites are fully booked. As for other hotels nearby, they are also fully booked, or the available rooms are not as spacious or luxurious as the one we have here."

Becky let out a defeated sigh, realizing that she had no other choice but to stay with Freen. She couldn't help feeling awkward about the whole situation. While she wanted to reconnect with Freen and sort out their feelings, being in such close quarters with her just made her anxious.

As they walked towards the suite, Becky couldn't shake off the feeling that this trip was somehow destined to put her and Freen together again. She found it amusing and frustrating at the same time. It was as if fate was playing tricks on her, pushing her to confront her feelings for Freen.

Freen POV

I looked at Becky, I couldn't help but smile at her adorable behavior. She was clearly flustered and annoyed by the situation, and it was endearing to see this new side of her. I knew that this trip was no coincidence, and I was aware that Noey and Irin had planned it with the intention of helping Becky and me rediscover our bond.

I understood that Becky needed some time and space to process everything that had happened between us, and I respected her decision to avoid me. But deep down, I also hoped that this trip would provide us with the opportunity to be honest with each other and sort out our feelings.

I had been trying to give Becky her space, but it wasn't easy for me either. I missed her, and I wanted nothing more than to talk to her, to know what she was feeling, and to make things right. However, I knew that I had to be patient and let her take her time.

Throughout the trip, I tried my best to be there for Becky without being intrusive. I was grateful for the moments we spent together as a group, and I cherished every conversation we had. I hoped that by being there for her, she would see that I cared deeply about her and that I was willing to respect her boundaries.

As Freen and Becky entered the suite, there was an undeniable nervousness and tension in the air. Both of them were trying to process everything that had happened between them, and the unspoken words hung heavily between them. Despite the beautiful surroundings of the suite, they couldn't shake the weight of their unresolved feelings.

Feeling the need to break the silence, Freen turned to Becky and took a deep breath .Freen finally spoke up, "Becky, I want to apologize for not telling you about Nop's cheating. I should have been honest with you from the start, and I regret keeping it from you. I understand if you're upset with me."

Becky looked at Freen, her eyes filled with mixed emotions. Part of her wanted to remain angry and distant, but another part of her could see the sincerity in Freen's eyes. It was clear that Freen was genuinely sorry for not being upfront with her.

"I was hurt and confused when I found out about Nop," Becky finally replied, her voice soft. "And I was upset that you didn't tell me, but I can also see that you were trying to protect me."

Freen nodded, feeling a sense of relief that Becky was willing to listen and understand. "I care about you, Becky," Freen continued. "I miss you, and I want to be there for you. But I also respect your boundaries and the space you need."

Becky felt her heart soften a little as she heard Freen's words. She knew that Freen cared about her deeply, and she appreciated that Freen was giving her the space she needed. But at the same time, she couldn't deny the lingering feelings she had for Freen.

"I miss you too, Freen," Becky admitted, her voice tinged with vulnerability. "But I don't want to rush into anything. I need time to sort out my feelings."

Freen nodded understandingly. "I completely understand, Becky. Take all the time you need. I'll be here whenever you're ready to talk or whenever you want to hang out again."

Becky smiled softly, feeling grateful for Freen's understanding and patience. "Thank you," she said. "I appreciate that."
