 Forth looked at Beam sullenly.  Medical books were scattered on the table and Beam sat on the couch reading his notes.  Beam stayed at Forth's house but he ignored Forth all night.

 "Forth!"  Beam protested when Forth laid his head on Beam's lap.

 Forth looked at Beam in annoyance "it's Saturday night. Are we going to spend it studying?"  he protested

 Beam looked at Forth with regret.  He put down his notes and lowered his face.  Beam kissed Forth's lips briefly.

 "Sorry ... I have a lot to learn," Beam said as he ran his fingers on Forth's face and gently rubbed his cheek "I promise we'll go on vacation wherever you want after my block exam is over"

 Forth sighed and looked at Beam softly "Promise" he said while holding out his pinky.  Beam smiles and ties his pinky.

 "promise" Beam said.

 Forth smiled with satisfaction.  Beam again took his notes and studied.  He let Forth lay on his lap while staring at his cellphone.  Suddenly Forth woke up and frowned.

 "none of my business," said Forth after hearing someone talking at length on his phone.

 Beam averted his eyes from his notes and looked at Forth curiously.

 "If Lam decides to date it is his business. Besides it's not good. You can double date," said Forth sarcasm.

 "No. I don't want to interfere with your stupid plan," Forth said as he disconnected the phone.

 Beam glanced at Forth curiously "Earth?"  Beam asked.

 Forth lay back on Beam's lap "Um ..." he answered as he opened the game on his cellphone.

 Beam sighed "They are so stupid" Beam said as he read the notes in his hand again.

 "Um ..." said Forth, nodding in agreement.

 *****

 Earth sighed when Forth hung up the phone.  He came here to accompany Phi May shopping but instead he saw Lam with another woman.  Earth panicked and left Phi May alone.  Now he sat in the corner of the restaurant watching the woman with short hair in front of Lam feeding Lam ice cream.  Earth tried to hold back his emotions.  

 Earth looked at his cellphone that was shaking.

 "Shit!"  he cried when he saw the name Phi May appear.  Earth picked up the telephone

 "Nong Earth !!"  May snapped at the other end of the telephone.  Earth sighed "Sorry phi ..." he said, staring hard at Lam.

 "Where are you?"  May asked annoyed.

 "Um ..." Earth looked nervously as Lam laughed in front of the woman.  Lam, he never even laughed like that to him.  Earth squeezes the tissue in his hand.

 "Are you with Lam?"  May accused suddenly.

 Earth was silent.  None of them talked for a few seconds.  May sighed

 "Maybe it's time for me to let you go," May said suddenly.

 Earth was shocked

 "I'm tired of nong earth. You will never see me like you see Lam." Earth could hear May's trembling voice.  Sudden guilt suddenly attacked him.

 "Phi ...." said Earth but he could not say any defense.  Because everything May said is the truth.  During this time he continued to date May because he felt guilty for using it to make Lam jealous.
