My Chocomallows Cake by ARIE78 (on hold)

Chapter 34

Beam is startled when his very interesting inspection of the female anatomy is disturbed by a loud slam of the front door.

"PHI YO! I TOLD YOU DON'T JUST---Forth?" Why was he back so early?

"Oh? So you are also starting to scream at Wayo? Forth smiled at him and patted his head, "Good Boy."

Slightly disgruntled at Forth's warm hand Beam shakes his head to come back to the present concern, "Why are you back so early?"

"I wanted to be with you?"

As mushy and gooey as that made Beam feel he narrowed his eyes at him, "Impossible."

Forth sighed, "Fine kid, I quit."

Beam puffed his cheeks in shock, finally letting go of his breath, "WHAT?"

"I quit."

"WHAAAAAAIIIII?????"

"Your Dad."

"I know he sucks but c'mon you should be used to the guy."

"He called you a mistake so I quit."

Beam's insides tingled and he started crying. Forth slowly came over to where he was and patted his back, "Aww Beam it's okay, no biggie. You. I. Uh...You know, no biggie."

"But Forth...Forth you...WE'RE POOR!"

Forth watched him pace around the room before he came to an abrupt stop. Beam gave Forth an incomprehensible look and before the older could even blink, the teenager ran out of the apartment, footsteps echoing down the corridor to the door at the end.

Forth sighed, hoping he wouldn't hurt himself. When the boy got ideas, his determination was tough to curb. Tired and dreary, Forth dropped his duffel bag onto the ground, his eyes flickering to the book spread out on the table.

Reproduction... he read aloud.

Female and male... ANATOMY?

His eyes went wide. Too prude to admit it to himself, he lifted one socked toe and flicked the book shut, treating it like a diseased animal.

His head turned when the door slammed open again, drowning Wayo's yelling.

"-You can't barge in here whenever you like it, Beam! We need PRIVACY!" the hypocrite cried hoarsely.

Beam shut the door, ignoring him. Quick learner, no doubt.

He held a thick directory in his hands and was flipping through the pages with such a serious expression that Forth was actually amused. Beam walked upto him and without a word, reached into his pant pocket.

Forth grew frigid, not expecting an 'attack' so soon in the game.

"O-oi," he hissed.

Beam ignored him and drew out his handphone.

He plopped down on to the couch and flipped through the pages until arriving at one particular section in the classifieds.

"Restaurants"

He ran a finger down the list of names.

"MyKori cafe? Nah."

"Legoland hotels? Nope."

"Korean cafe? Uh huh."

Forth took the seat beside Beam, watching him curiously.

"What are you doing?"

"Trying to get you a job. And one for me."

"For... you?" Forth echoed, trying to keep himself from laughing.
Beam quickly dodged Forth when he tried to take the phone out of his hands. Forth only laughed harder.
