"Baramee!"

I turned to the voice calling me. I saw Phi Ben with his girlfriend, Phi Mild standing in front of the airport entrance. I waved my hand and dragged my luggage towards him. A man standing not far from Phi Ben immediately approached me.

"Let me carry your things, sir," he said. I thanked and handed over my luggage to the man.

"How was the flight?" Phi Mild took my mother's hand.

"Tiring but not too bad," answered my mother

We walked following Phi Ben.

"Pho said he had prepared dinner at Hotel X," said Phi Ben. I did not say anything. He has an internationally certified chef but for some reason, he still wants to eat out.

Me, my mother, Phi Ben and Phi Mild got into the car. Phi Ben brought another car to put my things. I grabbed my cell phone and sent something to Forth.

"I am home"

Forth read my message but didn't reply. Is he busy? But what is the rush that keeps him from replying to my messages?

"What?" Phi Ben asked

I  looked at Phi Ben confusedly.

"You look upset," he said while continuing to pay attention to the road.

Phi Ben is a good brother. He never tried to interfere and always mediated for me and Pho. He is also considerate.

"N-nothing"

I replied, staring at the streets of Bangkok.

"Even though it's been three years, Bangkok hasn't changed. It's still jammed as usual" My mother complained. Since I decided to move to London, my mother had settled there. She handed over everything related to the company to his CEO.

I looked at the car in front of me. I don't really know Bangkok. I spent more than half of my life in Chiang Mai and the rest in London. So I don't know how many changes have happened. But one thing I know for sure is Bangkok being a city that is friendly to differences. I see couples, no matter their gender and transgender can be well received in today's Bangkok community.

I became curious, how about Chiang Mai?

Forth POV

"I'm home" Send Beam.

I looked at the message repeatedly to understand. Did he send it wrong? Or maybe ...

"What is wrong?" Lam glanced at my cell phone. Right now we are waiting in line for tickets to watch a movie. I showed Beam's message to him.

"What do you think that means?"

Lam is the only friend of mine who knows that Beam is in London right now. Lam looked carefully at the message Beam sent.

"Did he return to Thailand?" Lam asked

"Ei ... No way, he said he still needs another month to take care of his transfer"

Lam chuckles "duh Forth. Do you believe what he said? He said he would move to Bangkok but instead ended up in London"

His words make sense too. So I typed something.

"Don't tell me you're in Bangkok right now!" Send me.

I saw Beam immediately read my message

"Binggo 😎" The answer was not long after.

This child? !!!! When will he stop playing with my feelings !!!
