"Uncle Kong!!" Gun runs inside the house with Bright following him. Kong smiled and wiped his hand in the kitchen towel.

He hugged Gun and patted his head. Bright also hugged him but Gun pulled him away "Uncle Kong doesn't like strangers hugging him" Gun told Bright who stepped back quickly.

"It's ok dear" Kong said and hugged Bright, kong smiled and asked them to take their seat on the table "uncle kong, this is Bright.. my best friend" Gun introduced Bright to Kong who nodded his head softly and gave them drinks to have.

He went to Beam's room and tried to open it, he released a sigh when it's locked, now a days, most of the time Beam is locking himself in room, he is also hearing Beam sobbing, he too has the doubt of the latter is drinking again and doing weird stuff like the person who hates doing laundry is  doing by himself.

Kong opened the room with the spare key, he shook Beam's body to wake up the latter from deep slumber.

"Phi wake up, Gun and Bright are here" Kong informed Beam who opened his puffy eyes. He smiled thinly and rushed to the bathroom to took bath. When Beam reached the table Gun and Bright almost finished their breakfast.

"Uncle Beam I missed you, why are you not coming to school nowadays" Bright confessed and hugged Beam's waist.

Beam smiled and kissed Bright's forehead while Gun also hugged Beam "Mom said you are sick, are you okay?" Gun asked sadly.

"Yes dear I am alright, I will take you guys out after the breakfast" Beam announced for Gun and Bright jumped back to their chair to finish their  remaining breakfast quickly.

"Uncle kong your pancakes are better than my dad's" Bright praised Kong who smiled happily.

"Who do you like most papi your mom or dad? You always talk about your dad" Gun asked to Bright getting Beam attention.

"I love my dad more than anything, he loves me a lot, only me, he is my hero, he always spends time with me although he has lots of work" Bright said with sparkling eyes.

After both kids went to clean their hands Kong informed Beam " phi, i have work today and will not join the dinner" Beam just nodded his head in acknowledgment.

Kong sighed and patted Beam shoulders "I am here if you want to talk phi" Kong offered for Beam to hug Kong's waist and buried his face to control his tears, he can't stop the shame crawling inside his heart for touching Forth.

 After Kong leaves Beam took the kids to mall and spend some time with them. Dropping them in his sister's house he leaves for the hospital even though it's Sunday.

when he entered his cabin he saw Forth standing near his desk, maintaining his cold face he went and sat on his chair while asking Forth to get out "Forth get out!! I had enough of your antics"

Forth ignored his yell, he walked to Beam and back hugged the latter, Beam pushed the latter and stood from his chair.

"Enough forth!! please stop!! why are you not understanding the wrong fact ?? we are over Forth, I don't want to be your affair. Please stop, do you know how much your son adores and admire you please don't disappoint him!!" Beam snapped at Forth.

There is a pleading tone in Beam's voice. "Beam, I will take care of my son, he will understand once he grown up dear" Forth told casually like its not wrong.

"you are insane, cant do this anymore, i have no choice other than this Forth, i am going to marry the person my mom choose and if you try to stop that i will end my life" Beam declared firmly for Forth to gasp, he had enough of Forth's forbidden desire. Forth hides his emotion and comes with a plan to end his punishment.

"ok Beam, I will stop this all, I will never come in front of you again but just spend one dinner with me, don't worry I wont touch you or force you to do anything, just a dinner with a simple talk" Forth presented his offer to Beam who sighed and agreed with him.

 "Come to my home for dinner, I don't want anyone to spot us outside" Beam ordered Forth who nodded his head as yes. After Forth leaves Beam worked for some hours and walked out to go home.

He accidentally bumped into someone "ah.. Ming!! what are you doing here?" Beam asked after recognizing Ming. "i came up with my mom for her regular routine check up phi" Ming told his reason. 

Beam nods his head. "uhm.. P'Beam, i know P'Forth is hurting and messing with you around but please phi hang in there for some more, he just wants to punish you for his suffering phi, he believes if you didn't give up in the past he might not have suffered this much."

" In no time he will stop this phi, after all he cant see you in pain for long phi, he loves you a lot, I am waiting for your reunion with P'Forth" Ming finished with a happy smile.

Beam can't believe Ming's words "Ming i know you care and admire Forth lot, but I never expect for you to support his sickening act! how can you allow him to do this? how can you expect me to be his secret affair??" Beam said in hurt. 

"what?!! secret affair? why are you going to be his affair phi?" Ming asked in confusion.

"Cause your boss said he will not divorce his wife and wants me to be his affair!" Beam snapped at Ming.

"What?! But it's been 5 years since P'Forth got divorced" Ming revealed the shocking information to Beam.

"5 years?... divorced?... then why did he say that??why didn't he mention this? But ... But... Bright also talked about his mother many times!" Beam asked in confusion and palmed his face in anger.

"oh that ... Actually I can't explain some things to you phi, you should hear from P'Forth only, but I can assure you phi, P'Forth loves only you not anyone, about Bright he doesn't want anyone to pity him that's why he always say to others that he has both parents. Now I know what method P'Forth took to punish you, phi please don't tell P'Forth that I am the one who revealed this information" Ming explained and ended with a plea. Beam clenched his hand enraged.

Arthit walks towards Kong's cabin for him to stop by David, Arthit smiled awkwardly and gave his wai after getting guard.

"you came to pick him up?" David asked his employee who nods with a shy smile.

" So this is why he rejected his mother's dinner invitation" David revealed with a smirk.

"so when will you guys going to get our blessings?" David asked with a mischievous smile.

"uhm.. soon uncle, I need some time.. NO! it's not like I am not sincere it's just I want Kong to open up about his past,  I want to gain his trust before moving further" Arthit explained his reason in a polite manner.

"Thanks for being with Kong and changing him better Arthit, and you can call me as dad or uncle when we are alone" David said and walked out.

Arthit entered and was welcomed by Kong's hug " I am tired and hungry" Kong snuggled on Arthit's shoulders. "I talked with your dad" Arthit started without breaking the hug. "I heard it phi, lets talk during the dinner" Kong said and pulled away from the hug, he dragged the laughing Arthit out for dinner.

................

Arthit ordered a juice for kong until the food arrived, he laughed little when he saw Kong finish the juice in one go. "That hungry? Shall I order another juice for you?" Arthit asked with a chuckle. Kong nodded his head with a grin. Arthit excused himself to buy another juice while Kong busy on his phone.

"Kongpop? Is that you?" a voice startled Kong who dropped his phone on the table.

Kong shivered instantly, is not the report said that everyone involved in the kidnapping died that night in a blast? then what is Ren's friend doing here?

Especially near him, why the hell does he still remember him! He stood from his place feeling difficult to breath, he collected his phone and walked towards Arthit with heavy breathing, Arthit who saw Kong marching towards him, rushed to him.

"Kongpop?" Arthit called grabbing his attention. Hugging him tightly Kong whispered with fear "phi, get me out of here, please ... quick phi"

Kong pleads gave Arthit a throb on his heart. He walked out to his car and pushed Kong to the back seat. He rubbed kong back to calm him and make him breath normally. Lifting kong head he asked softly "you want to stay some more or shall we move?".

Kong stared the worry filled Arthit eyes and asked nervously "phi,  shall we talk about my past?". Arthit eyes widen in surprise "if you are ready only" Arthit answered even though he is desperate to hear.
