Trash Polka | ForthBeam

Chapter 13

"Well don't you look happy today."

Beam rolled his eyes hearing Pha.

"Are you happy after leaving us by ourselves yesterday?" Kit asked, giving a knowing smirk.

"What? No! Professor Natthawut was talking to me for so long," Beam lied.

Pha scoffed. "You're even dragging an innocent old man into this."

Beam prayed Professor Natthawut wouldn't curse him for using his name.

"That explains why you're once again in our fan account," Kit teased, showing Beam his phone.

Beam took the phone and scrunched his eyebrows when he read the post.

Hot Doctors of Kantaphat University Daily News
A friend of mine in engineering sent this lovely pic of our Doc Beam! Beam is seen once again with the student that we assumed gave him the hickey! Aren't they so cute???

Beam banged his head on the table when he saw the picture attached. It was when he stood next to Forth's table and Park was comically introducing him to the rest of the gang.

"When will they stop rumoring me with Park?!" Beam groaned. He took his phone and dialed Forth immediately. The line beeped for a few seconds before Forth answered.

"Hey," Forth said breathlessly.

"Hey," Beam replied, a small smile appearing on his lips.

Pha and Kit almost threw up at the sight of calm and soft Beam.

When he heard a commotion on the other side, Beam asked, "Uh... What are you doing? Are you fighting again?"

He noted Pha and Kit's concerned looks.

"No, baby," said Forth quickly. He then let out a small "You fucker—!" before continuing, "Well..."

"Forth, are you kidding me?!" Beam let out exasperatedly. After what happened, he thought Forth wouldn't fight anymore, but—

"No, Beam! I'm chasing Park down the road because he messed with you again!" Forth panted.

"Oh."

"Shit, he just jumped over a fruit vendor!"

Beam blinked.

"Holy shit, what was that?" Forth exclaimed. "Why do you have a fucking Nerf gun, Ai'Dumb?!"

Once again, Beam was left speechless.

He heard a distant, "Don't be too possessive!"

"That's not it, Ai'Asshole! What if Suthee knows Beam is close with us?!" yelled Forth.

Oh, shit, Beam thought. The thought didn't even cross his mind until that moment. That was true. Even though Beam was sure Suthee didn't befriend his fan account, the possibility of him reading the post was still there. Fuck! Beam cussed to himself when he remembered the situation with Park. What if Suthee saw him dragging Park away from the moons and stars photoshoot spot for a coffee? Would he hire more gangsters to beat him up?

Suddenly, Kit nudged his forearm. Beam raised an eyebrow at him, but the short man was staring some place else. When he followed his line of sight, his eyes dropped at a tall male who was striding towards their table.

"Speak of the devil," Beam muttered. He quickly ended the call with Forth and slipped his phone into his pocket.

"Nong Suthee," called Pha when Suthee walked up to them.

"Hi, P'Pha, P'Kit, P'Beam," he greeted.

Beam fought the urge to roll his eyes.

Beam hadn't told Pha or Kit anything regarding the problem between Suthee and Forth, and they didn't ask. As much as he wanted to tell them Suthee wasn't as harmless and innocent as they thought, he wasn't sure Pha and Kit could fake their way up. Pha was the type to clearly show his hate towards someone he despised, while Kit was the type to accidentally spill some important secrets to others. Beam didn't want to take chances. If Suthee were able to harm someone as strong as Forth, Beam didn't want to know what he could do to them.
