Never Changed

"Huh? What do you mean?" Phana was puzzled. "You're my boyfriend. I love you. That's how I look at... you." And then his eyes widened in surprise as reality hit him. "You mean... like..."

Wayo nodded.

"But you said that never changed! And think about it, it surely never changed!" Phana was further puzzled. "But..." He looked at Wayo in confusion. "But... he never liked someone before you. He was just fooling around before he... But..."

"Wanna make sure?" Wayo challenged Phana.

Phana stared at Wayo.

"What do you wanna do first? Make sure about P'Beam's feelings and the real reasons why for the first time in his life he said he couldn't do something like Tech, or do you want to know about P'Forth's feelings first and why he shares his food and drinks with P'Beam...?"

Phana blinked. He didn't know what to do.

"Either way, I think you'll end up losing P'Beam in the end." Wayo said gently. "Are you ready...?"

Phana looked at Wayo in defeat.

"Seriously, it would make more sense for me to be jealous of P'Beam than you being jealous of P'Forth, P'Pha~... You love P'Beam so much... Come here big boy... Just imagining this is a chance to lose your 'favorite son' makes you freeze up like this... Man..." Wayo hugged his boyfriend, shaking his head in disbelief.

Forth shook his head as his friends mentioned Phana inviting them to a Friday night party.

"Why? I thought you were looking forward to it, to be friends again with Pha," Lam said.

Forth smiled. "I am. But not... a drinking party. Maybe I'll invite him later for a barbecue or something."

"Why?"

Forth tried to maintain his smile. "I... don't think I have the strength to see the old Beam again."

"Huh? Why?"

Forth looked at his four friends calmly. "It's been a month since he did it with the girls because he was busy with SOTUS and all the Moon stuff, but he's not busy anymore. And staying away for too long without having fun? He might have 10 girls in his lap. He had three girls every day in the past."

Silence.

"Forth, I don't understand," Lam broke the silence. "Why would that worry you?"

Forth blinked. "I think you know."

"About what?"

"My feelings."

"What feelings?"

"I love Beam." Forth said calmly. So calmly that it shocked the whole table.

"I'm sorry, you what?" Park thought he misheard that.
Lam was too stunned to react.
Max's mouth hung wide open.
Tul froze.

"I love Beam." Forth repeated it. And then he looked at his friends in confusion.

"Why are you all so surprised? I thought everyone knew about it. You four, all freshmen, juniors and even seniors?"
