~Park~

Asking Lam for a break up is one of the worse decisions I have ever made. Upon graduating from University, I got my dream job offer to work for a big computer engineering company in Tokyo, Japan. Frankly, I had been contemplating on taking a job for a while. Then I asked  Lam whether I should take it? He was so excited for me, probably more happier than I. But unlike him, I knew was the outcome of taking the job.

That was uprooting my life and moving to a new country. So when I received my confirmation email of my employment. I thought then , that it would selfish to drag Lam with me. Especially when this was not his dream, he has his own aspirations that he was working towards. But above all, I knew his father wanted as to break up. It wasn't because Lam was with a Man, rather a NONE WEALTHY MAN.

My family are doing well, father owns his own farmlands that deals with exporting produce. But we we didn't have Lam's family type of wealth. So, I made the hard decision to break up with Lam. I will never forget that face drenched with tears that night. He cried such sorrowful tears and so did I. He was the first love of my life and I broke his heart.

I tried carrying on with life, often convincing myself that I did the right thing. Then things began to go left, Lam went from calling and texting me every day. To having me blocked on his phone. He was not active on his social media's, then I began to worry. * Was he okay? Is he being taking care of? Perhaps this is a sign to move on* Hours turned to days, and days to months. Then I received that phone from Earth about the business offer.

First, he told me how he wanted to venture off and start his own business. Then he told me how he needed trust worthy people on his side and I was the first person he called. I guess you can say, that was all th sign that I needed to move back home. I didn't FBE it much of a thought, even if I would be receiving a pay cut. I was so excited that I called Lam to inform him, but he had blocked my number.

Okay, at least we can talk when I returned home. He was the first person I wanted to see when my plane landed. But when I finally met Lam, the reception was cold and unwelcoming. He wanted nothing to do with me. I saw how badly I had hurt him, and I could tell he was not going to let me back in easily. I had to inch my way back into his life. Then it happened, he allowed me to embrace him and cuddle him. I felt him slowly letting down his guard, it will take time but I am willing to work for it.

As I held Lam in my arms, placing kisses over his face. It right, and I knew never to let him go again if he accepts me. I watched him drift off to sleep, he looked like he had the world on his shoulders. I covered him with a blanket, and reached over for his phone. I originally wanted to put it silence for him, but curiously wanted to check on his page. The first thing that opened up was his Instagram. He was on the Moon and Star Instagram page.

I browsed through the new contestants, where one particular picture caught my eyes. It was a picture of a very handsome boy. He is very easy on the eye, but above his looks was the fact that Lam had liked his picture. That was the only picture on the page he had liked. I know Lam, he's not one to fall for a pretty boy. One thing left to another, and I had spent a about 15minutes on this kids page. It felt wrong snooping on Lam's phone, so as I was about put it away. A phone call came through, I was not going to answer it. Then I noticed the name, it was the Instagram kid 'N'Beam'.

I suddenly felt uneasy, then what I did next even surprised me. "HELLO...so you are BEAM?!"... I asked the rhetorical question, knowing very well he was. I walked out the bedroom to talk to this kid. "Y-yeesss" he replied with a shaky voice. "This is Lam' boyfriend ...what is your relationship with my man?" I asked sternly. I couldn't see the kid but I sensed the fear in his voice when he gasped. " Just listen carefully Beam, keep your distance from Lam. Do I make myself clear!!!"-I yelled . Next I heard a dial tone, the kid had hung up. I believe that was a clear enough message.

~Forth~

Even without saying it, I could tell N'Beam had not made up his mind. I could see his heart swaying towards whomever this other guy was. So I quickly tried to pretend to not notice it. Instead, I asked him to give it some more thought 💭 up until the end of Moon and Star. I needed time to reach him, I have never been this infatuated with anyone like I am with him.

Once I left Beam, I went home and was greeted by a familiar car. *I see P'Park is back here again* As I stepped out the car, I saw him coming out the house. "Hey Head Hazer!... how have you been For!!?" He called me by my nickname given to me by Lam. "I see you are trying to weasel your way back into Lam's life.." I said wiping that smile off his face. " I guess I deserve that..."-P'Park. "... No what you deserve, is my fist to your jaw. You broke his heart and now you want o show up like NOTHING HAPPENED!!!" I yelled in anger.

" I had never seen Lam that broken before... so if your intentions here is not PURE. Leave him alone Phi... allow him to move on" I said. He gnarled his teeth when I said that, then looked me in the eyes. " I love Lam... that never changed. I made a mistake, please allow me to fix this..."-P'Park said tapping me on the shoulder, then got in his car. "... Best believe I'll fight tooth and nail for him...tell that little TWINK to stay away if he knows what's good for him"-P'Park said as he drove off. *Twink?? ? Lam is talking to someone else? Could this be the new guy that had him in a great mood? WHO IS THIS GUY?*
