Sweetness

Chapter 5

This Friday night were full of  surprise for Ging.

First, he got a call from fellow moon and not only some fellow moon but the handsomest moon he'd ever seen, Phana from medical faculty, the current campus moon. Then he heard the weirdest story. One where Prink, the current campus star, tried to recruit one of Pha's bestfriend, Beam, to be an escort.

Talked about twilight zone experience.

Yeah, Prink were hitting his alarms from eight different wind's directions but he never thought that she will try to "recruit" her latest obsession's best friend. Think about personal branding sabotage. For someone so polished, she turned out to be so stupid.

Pha's request this evening were even weirder. He asked for his help to find patron for Beam. As if someone will fall from the sky just to support someone they didn't know financially!

Ging totally understand Pha's point of view. If they filtered what kind of people that interacted with Beam, they could eliminated Beam's risk to almost nothing and protected him at the same time. But there will be no gain if there is no risk.

Not that Pha's request were impossible.

Ging owed Pha and his friends his life since the day they saved him and his older sister from getting pummeled like a shack of potato on the street just because he were openly gay, so why not? With his connections to entertainment business, he could at least help to spread the words.

Then someone he never thought will call just, well, called him.

This kind of coincidence rarely happened to him, really. His older sister's old friend, some engineer who helped them built their house and introduce his sister to her husband, thus his brother-in-law, just contacted him.

This person were away from Thailand for several years and just got back this morning. And for some strange kind of kismet, he needed someone to accompany him to some formal party next Saturday night. Guess what he asked him? Yes, he asked for his help to find someone to be his escort.

If Ging couldn't be a scientist that invented the best make-up foundation in the world in the future, maybe he will open an escort berau then. Destiny seemed chose him to be her Hermes.

Seemed Beam will get his biggest luck this time.

He took out this phone and dialed Pha's number.

"Hello, Ai Pha? I believed I just found Ai Beam potential patron. I'll send you the detail in a moment."

He listened for a moment and ended the phone call. Ging typed down what ke knew about him then sending the inquiries to Pha. If Pha's really smart, he will realize this were a golden ticket for Beam. Nobody stupid enough to ripped it in half. Ging will wait until this evening to inform P'Forth.

His phone started to vibrate, there's an incoming call. Beam's name flashing on his screen. A smile bloomed on his face.

"Hello, good night, Beam. Is it a yes?"

Beam's firm answer made his smile bigger.  He listened tentatively and informed Beam what he knew about the other person.

"I"ll informed you tonight about  your appointment time na, Ai Beam. Right now, just calm down and let me handle things for you, ok? Talk to you later, beautiful!"

They ended the phone call and Ging checked the time. He informed Beam's potential patron about the meeting and set it up at 9 tomorrow morning. He sent a mesage to Beam to let him know about the appointment. Ging smiled once again.

At the moment? For him, life were good.
