Forth's POV

I sat on my bed staring blankly at the TV. It's on and my favorite show is playing as well. But I wasn't in the mood to watch it. I can't even focus on it. My mind somewhere else, trying to plan out how I make my moves on N'Yo.

It's been days since I last saw him. After Ming took him away from me and Beam told me to ask permission from them too if I want Yo to be mine, I didn't really made efforts to see him. I'm not running away. I'm not a coward. I just have to plan everything out first. I don't want to make a mistake as soon as I move.

My phone rang and I grabbed it from under the pillow. I checked who was calling and grimaced as soon as I saw the name. It's Pha.

"What do you want?" I demanded as soon as I picked up.

"Pissed off much?" he asked me back with a laugh.

I hate this guy. After hearing what Beam had told me, he had his laughing fit. He had gone to his room to hide before I could even punch him. He has been teasing me for the following days, often riling me up how I would ask permission from Yo's other brothers.

"Just tell me what this is about." I said.

"Okay...well Beam's wondering where you've gone and if you've given up on Yo." he replied.

"Well you know the answer to that right? I'm not giving up on him." I said.

"If you aren't, then come join us." he urged. "We're eating out tonight."

"Where?"

"The hot pot place near Ming's apartment."

I know that place. I used to bring him there before. Would it be a good idea to finally see him? I miss him a lot actually.

"Okay, I'll see you guys there." I said.

"Great!"

Pha hung up and I also got ready as well. Twenty minutes later, I'm already on my way to see my beloved.

When I got there, I could already see them from inside. They were seating on the table where Yo and I used to sit before in the past. It's the corner table near the glass wall, facing the parking lot. As I parked my bike, I noticed that he has already caught sight of me. When I took off my helmet, his eyes were still on me. I gave him a dazzling smile and he looked away, but not before I noticed the blush that crept on his cheeks.

I stowed my helmet away and entered the restaurant. N'Kit immediately caught sight of me and glowered. Right, I haven't actually apologized to him for what I've done. As I approached, I noticed that the only open seat available for me was the one next to Yo. I was smiling happily, ready to place my butt on it when Ming moved to sit there instead.

I caught Pha's chuckle and Beam's smirk before I realized they aren't going to make things easy for me. N'Kit and Ming flanked Yo on each of his sides and I had no choice but to sit on the seat that Ming had vacated. I sat in front of Ming which I guess was luckier because Pha is seating in front of N'Kit who was throwing dagger glares at him. I guess they're back at their fighting again, especially with what Pha has done to him.

They have already ordered the food before I came so it didn't take a long time before they started bringing them to the table. Being in the middle, Beam and Yo started throwing in the ingredients for the hot pot. I just watched Yo who was intent on avoiding my gaze.
