Our Perfectly Imperfect Story

Chapter : 5

*forgive my mistakes*

Phana woke up with a massive headache.
He squinted his eyes as the surrounding was too bright to his taste.

He tried to figure out what happened.

He jolted up at the unfamiliar surrounding.

"Where am I?"
He couldn't recognize any bit of the room that he was in.

He almost screamed when the door of the room opened revealing Ming with a cocky smirk on his face.

He was all red out of anger, fear, embarrassment and what not.

Ming hurriedly proceeded towards Phana.

But he shouted, "don't you dare to come near me, you fucker!
Where am I? What the hell are you doing here? Did you tricked me to come here with you, you bastard!! Did you rape me?? You son of a bitch!!"

Until now, Ming tolerated everything. But those curses made him snap at Phana. He couldn't take all those blames and accusations that Phana were making.

"Hey! You don't like me. I get it. but don't curse my parents. Okay? You don't have the right. You don't even know me.

You were drunk. You couldn't drive like that. You even couldn't tell me your address so I took you to my place. I didn't do anything to you."
He said, in a voice that sent shivers down Phana's spine.

"If you're awake now, you can leave my place." Ming gritted his teeth while stating his disgust .

He couldn't believe Phana blamed him and cursed his that harshly for taking care of him.

Phana felt too bad for his resentful remarks.
He knew he had been acting unreasonable towards this kid.

"I'm sorry" he mumbled inaudibly.
He couldn't look at Ming's eyes now.

He felt too embarrassed for his behaviors.

"I'll take my leave now." He got up from the bed to get ready.

Ming didn't say anything. He felt angry because of those curse-words.
He never wanted to snap at Phana but the way Phana was saying things about him and his parents angered him .

He left the room to give some time and privacy to Phana to get him changed.

After a while Phana came out of the room, freshly showered, but had his head hung low like a lost puppy.

He was about to open the door to leave when Ming's voice stopped him.

"Have the breakfast first then leave."
Ming was still acting cold.

"No Ming. I should leave now." Phana urged in a slow gentle voice. He was feeling terrible.

"Do as you wish" was the last thing he heard from Ming before he left his place.

"Hey, Phana, how was the party yesterday? Sorry I couldn't make it to the club." It was Ryan.

"It's okay, Ryan.. we can go party anytime when you're free." Phana said, smiling gently at his secretary.

"Uhm.. Have you seen Mingkwan yet? Didn't he come to work today?" Asked Phana, nervously.

"Yeah.. I just saw him, going out for lunch  with someone. It's his lunch break actually. Why? Should I tell him to meet you when he comes back?"

"What! No no.. you don't have to do that. I was just asking. Nothing important"

The nervousness in Phana's voice irked the curiosity in Ryan. But he didn't say anything.

The rest of the day Phana couldn't concentrate on his work.
He felt bad for the events that happened in the morning.

In fact, there were thousands of questions, running around his mind.

"Why am I suddenly behaving like this?

I was never this ruthless before..!!
Why am I even thinking about him all the time??!

Why his handsome face comes to my mind everytime I try to think of something?

Wait a minute... Did I just say handsome??

Well.... He is handsome. I mean, it's not anything harmful to accept someone's good looks... Or is it?

Arghh! I think I should go back to Thailand..
I'm going crazy here."
He felt like crying.

"Excuse me, may I come in, sir?"
Ming's deep voice broke his trance.

He abruptly looked up at the door.. To Ming.

"Y..yeah.. s..sure come in".
He stammered at the sudden arrival of Ming, when he himself was thinking about nothing, but Ming only...

"Sir, I've been told to give you these files for your signatures. And here's the invoices that were meant to be rechecked by you."
Ming's extremely professional mannerisms made Phana gawk at him.

He didn't even hear what Ming said.
He realized that he was staring at the guy continuously, only when Ming was about to leave the room.

"Ming wait up."

Ming stopped on his way.

"Yes sir. do you need me to bring anything else?"
Ming acted cold.

He was still angry. Because Phana didn't apologize to him properly. He knew he's just an intern here. And he can't risk his job here. So he made his mind to become all professional for the rest of his internship.

"Ming.. I'm sorry for today. I should not say those things to you. I'm really sorry." Ming didn't bother to even look at Phana.

"Do you need anything else,sir? " He asked nonchalantly as if Phana's pleading words didn't reach his ears.
"Can I go back to my cabin sir?"
He even added.

"You won't be talking to me, right? And what's with this "sir" that you're calling me? I told you to call me Phana when we're not in front of the other officials. Didn't I?" Phana frustratedly asked.

Every single bit of Ming's cold attitude towards him was making it worse for Phana.

Guilt was killing him.

"Please Ming. Please forgive me.. just this once. Please"
He pleaded again.

"I will.. if only you tell me about Forth"
Phana almost choked on his saliva at the mention of Forth's name .

"H..how d..do you know about F.. Forth?"

" Well we can say, I know a lot about Forth.. and Beam... But I want to know everything from you."

(A/N: if anyone is curious about how Ming knows about ForthBeam... Go check my other story, "Just another ForthBeam Story". It's kind of the prequel to this story.)

"If you want to be forgiven, come to my place.. for dinner.. and we'll resume this talk there only"

With that Ming left the room, leaving a stupefied Phana sitting on the desk chair.

TBC...
