It's been three months since Forth and Beam became officially boyfriends. Their friends and families are all happy for them.

Forth shows all his love and effort in their relationship, as well as Beam. They eat together, go home together, kiss and hug each other but not more than that. Forth respect Beam, he is willing to wait for Beam. Their relationship went on smoothly, not until....

"Forth let me explain, please." - Beam beg

"There's nothing to explain, Beam. The video says it all." - said Forth with tears in his eyes.

"It is not what you think it is, Forth. Please! Let me explain, I'm begging you." Said Beam, crying while holding Forths right arm.

But Forth swatted away Beams hand forcefully that made Beam stumble on the floor, in front of Fourths apartment.

Forth is a bit taken aback by what he did, seeing Beam hurt like this is unbearable for him, but the anger he felt right now is more dominant than his love for the man.

He punched his door code and before he could enter, he talked. "We're done, Beam. You already took your revenge on me. We don't need to continue this fake relationship we had." And with that, he entered his apartment, closing his door with a loud bang.

Beam remain at the door, fallen on the floor feeling helpless. He clutched his chest tight, he couldn't breathe and in a few seconds he collapsed on the cold, tiled floor.

His friends who followed him saw all the commotion between the two, they felt pity for Beam begging for Forth to hear his explanation. They also feel angry at Forth but they couldn't do anything because Beam asked them not to meddle. And they immediately rushed to Beam when they saw him collapsing. They immediately bring Beam to the hospital.

When Beam regained his consciousness, he slowly opened his eyes and he saw the white ceiling, his eyes wandered in his surroundings where he saw their friends sitting on the couch in front of him, and his sister Thea on the side of the bed and an IV drip on his right hand. Then he remembered what happened to him last night and he began to cry again which made his sister wake up and his friends noticed he's conscious now.

"Beam." Thea said and immediately sat beside his brother and hugged him. "Ssshhh....don't cry nah, it's ok baby, it's ok." She continous.

"Phi, why did this happen again... Why?" Beam said with a muffled sound of crying at Thea's embrace.

"Everything will be fine, Beam." Said New

"Yes, Beam. We will help you to explain everything to Forth." Said Phana

Beam shakes his head. "No, he will not listen. He is very angry with me. He doesn't want any explanation from me." He said crying.

Kit sat also beside Beam and patted his back. "Beam, be strong nah. We are here for you." He said.

After a few hours, Beam fell asleep again because of exhaustion from crying. Thea is still in the hospital with his brother. Together with New, Kit and Phana go out to buy food and clothes for New.

"What really happened, New?" Asked Thea, because she doesn't know the full story. New just called her when Beam fainted in front of Forth's apartment.

"Forth hated Beam so much, because......"

***Flash back***

At the medical faculty, Forth came with a bouquet of pink roses to be given to Beam because it's their third month anniversary. Beam and his friends were not in their faculty when he came. He doesn't want to call Beam because he wants to surprise him.

"Excuse me, are you Beam's classmates?" Asked Forth to one of the students who came out of the classroom.

"Yes." She said

"Uhmm.. can I ask where he is?"

"Oh, Beam is in the laboratory."

"Who's with him?"

"He's with his groupmates, they made some revisions on their lab assignments."

"Ok. Thank you." He said and walked straight to where the laboratory is.

When he is about to enter the room, Beam is with his classmates but his three friends are not in sight. He was happily chatting with them while doing their lab work when one of his classmates spoke.

"So, are you done taking revenge on Forth?" She asked teasingly

"What? No! I am not done yet." Beams answered playfully.

"Oho... Beam seems eager to torture Forth this time huh." Said the other one and they all laughed.

Forth was shocked, Beam taking revenge on him all this time. That's why Beam easily forgives and accepts him again. He couldn't take it anymore, he immediately fled on the scene.

"Yes, I am so eager to torture him with my love." Said Beam dreamingly.

"Eww... so cheesy Beam." Said one of his classmates and they laughed out loud again. That is the last word Beam said that Forth didn't hear before he walked away in a hurry.

At the engineering parking lot. Forth was still inside his car, shedding tears. What he heard from Beam is unbearable to take. He was so hurt. Beam taking revenge on him. Well who is to blame. Maybe he deserved to be played also. He loves Beam so much.

He sat there for a couple of minutes, reminiscing about him and Beam's time together for three months. They are happy and there is no indication or signs he felt that Beam was just playing with him. All he could see in Beam's eyes was love and affection towards him.

He loves Beam so much, so he decided that he will not confront Beam. He is willing to take what only Beam can give and he will do everything to make fall in love again to come to a point that Beam will no longer think about the revenge thing.

Before he got out of the car, his phone rang. It's Beam. He composed himself once more before he answered the call.

When he touched the answer button, the cheering voice of Beam heard.

"Hellow, love. Where are you?" He asked

"Hi love, I'm at the engineering parking lot." He said

"Aw... Shara said, "You came here looking for me a while ago." Said Beam.

"Ah yeah, I was there but my professor called me for some revisions on my project so I came back." He lied.

"Oh, ok. Are you going to pick me up later?" -Beam

" Yes, of course love. I will pick you up." -Forth

"Ok great, my class will end at 4:30. What about you?"- Beam

"I will finish at 5, is it ok if you'll wait for me for half an hour?"- Forth

"Yes love, I will go there when my class ends. I'll wait for you at the food court."-Beam

"Ok then."-Forth

"Ok love, I love you." - said Beam

"I love you too, love."- said Forth. Then Beam cuts the call.

Forth stares at the phone screen, "How I wish you really loved me this time Beam." he said with loneliness in his voice.
