~Beam~

After Wayo scolding us for keeping him out of the loop, I went back to my room. To an all dressed up P'Forth, "... are you going somewhere?" I asked. He walked over to me and caressed my cheek. " We have a date... I figured, you deserve a proper date before I go around claiming you as my boyfriend" -P'Forth. Again, I was lost for words. He waste no time, I went from being courted to being his boyfriend in a matter of hours!! " Phi ... I need to tell you something..." I said.

He glanced at his watch, " can you tell me at dinner? Go get dressed, Our reservation is almost up" he said then spun me around towards the bathroom. After Ming coming clean with Wayo and practically letting everyone know he is in a relationship. I figured, it was time to confess to P'Forth what has transpired between his best friend and I. Things are starting to snowball, and I would hate for it to lead an avalanche of problems. I thought I could sort of my feelings for these two guys with no hindrance. But it has proven more difficult than I had presumed.

Once I got dressed, P'Forth took me to this upscale restaurant by the beach. The view was breathe taking as we could watch the waves of the beach come in. I noticed him smiling to himself. " From the way you look so mesmerized. My guess is I did a great job on our first date" He emphasized. I couldn't help but blushed, who would have known underneath that bad boy persona. Was a hopeless romantic, " ... Yes, you did good. The view here is immaculate..." I responded.

The waiter came around and we placed our orders, then we made small talks. Mostly about the moon and Star competition. He spoke of what he did for the talent portion. Apparently, he is a singer.. now that took me by surprise. I felt like there are so many layers to him to decipher. " Yeah... so what was it that you needed to tell me?" He asked. I felt my heart sunk, and a sudden rush of blood to my face. *How am I going to explain everything to him? How would he react to the situation?" I silently pondered. Then, I was saved by a buzz from my phone. " Excuse me Phi, I have to answer this" I lied.

Truth of the matter is, it was a text from P'Lam. I mean talk about timing. The text read, "I hope you are enjoying your weekend. Let's have dinner on Sunday when you get back".  In that moment, I felt so guilty and confused. *What should I do? Who can I seek advice from?* This dilemma has transcended just simply being infatuated, I am actually falling head over hills for both guys. I took a deep breathe and returned to the table. I had decided to tell P'Forth before the end of this weekend.

~Lam~

I think I stood in the same spot for what felt like a lifetime. Until I heard, " I have a pizza delivery...". My order had arrived, and upon noticing how distraught I was P'Park paid for the food. " Can I come in? Your food is getting cold" he said with a smile. He has a lot of nerve showing up at my door with that million dollar smile of his. Who am I kidding!!😫 my heart skipped a beat the moment I laid eyes on him. Those feelings I've been suppressing quickly resurfaced. *Stay strong LAM!!! Don't let him sway you with his smooth talking *

I walked across him, and sat on the opposite side.His smile suddenly faded away, then said "... I guess I don't deserve to be seated next to you"-P'Park. I took a deep breathe and asked, "Why are you here?...". He bite down his bottom lip, then asked... " Did you block my number? I've been calling and texting and even sent an email to tell you I'm moving back home. I want my old life back, Earth offered me a partnership in his business. And I didn't hesitate, frankly the drive for my decision was definitely you Lammie. I regretted denying you the option of moving to Japan. I never got over how I ended things here..."-P'Park said in his calm deep voice.

"And you thought I'll be waiting for you?" I asked. I guess he was not expecting that, because he had a stunned 😧 expression on.  I could tell he was doing everything thing to subside the anger that was building up in. " Are you seeing someone else?"-P'Park asked through gritted teeth. I felt a chill down my spine. I noticed the tears welding up in his eyes, but I refused to fall for it. It was his turn to feel my pain. He disregarded everything we had, and jumped in a plane not looking back:

"Why you thought I'll be waiting on you? You told me to start fresh remember? And, after a while of wallowing in my sorrow I took your advice. I'm dating a very handsome freshman. He is charming and funny, a bit sassy and goofy. And we are going great..." I said. P'Park looked at me with doubt in his eyes, as if he couldn't believe his ears. Yes, I am fabricating Beam and I'd relationship status. But since P'Park and I broke up. Beam is the only person that have peaked my interest. If I would end up with anyone else. It definitely could  be him.

P'Park walked over to where I sat and took my hand in his. "It is not too late Lam.., I know you still have feelings for me. How about you forgo this person and  let's pick up where we left off? Huh? I still love you, I never stopped loving you. I am sorry Lammie!!! I should have never given up on us!!!" He said holding on to my face. Finally, the tears he was holding up escaped his eyes. I felt my heart beating so fast 💨, because the sight of him makes me weak. But I refuse to give in, " I am sorry P'Park... I like Beam" I said.
