A month later::

Kong walked to Arthit cabin after John informing him that Arthit is calling him. It's been a month since he start his work, he learned many things and showing his talent time to time by submitting many good ideas to his team. Arthit team have 3 girls and 2 boys including Kong. Kong never start a conversation with them unlike them who always try to make a conversation with him.

Kong always felt uncomfortable whenever they insisted him to join the lunch but Kong never did that, Beam already told him to join them or at least told him to accept the welcome party but Kong shake his head and stood firmly in his cage.

The thing is he doesn't want to show his weekness to Arthit. What if someone made him uncomfortable or worse yell at him then Kong will sure got panic he doesn't want to seem weak infront of Arthit. He want to shine infront of Arthit like the latter sparkle to his eyes, same time he doesn't want to go back to his old character so he avoided going in crowd whenever Arthit involves.

He received lot of praises from Arthit mouth, which always make him not only proud but also give him happiness, a smile which he reserved only for Arthit. He is not an idiot for not understanding the feelings, he already realized that what he has for Arthit is not just admiration or any infatuation, it's love. Whenever beam used to talk about love Kong always want to feel it and he is happy finally he is also feeling it.

Kong entered after a knock, Kong was welcomed by Arthit dazzling smile "yes P'arthit" Kong asked after a greeting. "Kong, when P'paga recommended you I was upset because this position is not for an new comer like you, but you proved me wrong and make me happy within a month" Arthit praised for Kong to show his shy smile.

"But Kong I heard from others that you are the one who prepared the ppt for the mobile project, then why did you allow John to present it like its his own one, you are good Kong but from my notice I feel you are avoiding being infront of others, you even rejected your welcome dinner from our team! May I know why are you behaving like this?" Arthit asked calmly.

Kong hang his head low he whispered softly "I-I.. am Just not comfortable with new people P'arthit". Arthit furrowed "Kong, but you need to find a way to get comfortable to survive in this job, how long are you having this?" Arthit asked Kong who  lied "F-from childhood".

Arthit nodded and told him "ok, tomorrow I am going to jaturapooram office for an presentation, I want you to come with me" Arthit ordered him leaving no arguments. Kong nodded his head after a minute and excused himself.

Next day:: in office

Arthit entered his office and called Kong, but John is the one who greeted him "where is Kong?" Arthit asked for John to smirk "He is on leave Arthit". "What?! Why? did he informed?" Arthit asked in shock.

"Morning he called and told us he is sick" John replied with a smug face. Arthit nodded his head and excused himself. He felt bad for pushing Kong too much, maybe he should start slowly taking him out and got comfortable with others. Sighing for disaster, Arthit went to the presentation alone.

Beam home::

Beam entered his house in the morning after helping his mom with night shift. He got startled by Kong who is arranging the dishes for breakfast "shit!!! Kong you scared me!! What are you doing here?" Beam asked Kong who smiled towards beam who got suspicious by Kong weird behavior "surprise! I am in leave phi, go and finish your shower P'beam, I am hungry" Kong words really surprised beam.

It's not like Kong never cooked for him, it's the smile which is bothering him but he ignored it and went to get freshen up.

After that beam came and both silently start to have their breakfast. "P'beam how is Gun?" Kong asked about beam sister son. "He is getting naughty day by day Kong! Can you believe he already has a boyfriend from his class! yesterday he took a  fight with a girl just because that girl shared her snacks with his boyfriend! My sister is asking me to talk to him!" Beam told with a amusing smile. Kong also smiled at him.

After finishing their food both cleaned the kitchen silently. When beam about to go to sleep Kong stopped him "huh... P'beam shall I also sleep in your room?" Kong asked for beam to get shock. First of all its morning, Kong never sleeps during day night until he is tired, another thing is Kong never like to share the bed unless his nightmare is getting worse so beam got tensed and nodded his head.

Beam waited for Kong to speak, Beam on left side of bed on his back while Kong on right side facing beam. "P'beam.... What you think about me?" Kong asked softly.

Beam released a glad sigh that Kong decided to speak out, so with a smile he turned to Kong "you are goo---.." Beam was cut by Kong "That is not what I mean P'beam,....it... I...you... How You see me as a man.. I mean like someone you like?" Kong stuttered in nervous.

Beam facially emotion changed in an instant, he is not a fool to not grap the meaning behind it, "Did my mom talked with you?" Beam asked coldly.

Kong got tensed by beam coldness "No! It's.. It's" Kong lied for beam to raise his voice little "Don't lie Kong!" Beam sneered while Kong flinched before confessing the truth "Yesterday my mom and aunty came, they talked about our marriage" Kong informed for Beam to gritted his teeth.

"Kong! Please don't mind their words! They don't know about us!" Beam said with a sigh. "But ..... If I can help P'beam to be happy then I am okay phi, you are a good person and know about me very well, I can change phi just give me some time after marriage" Kong finished his thoughts while beam got more mad at his mom. "My mom also feels the same way that I can be happy with you" Kong said with a thin smile.

"Kong, do you know what you are sighing for? If not then let me show you!" Beam said and in a instant he hovered over Kong body after pushing Kong on his back. Kong whole body tensed while his breath start to become uneven "P-P'beam!" Kong tried to push beam who stared Kong eyes with an strange emotion which neither he seen before nor he like it. "What Kong? Why are you pushing me? Is not what we do if we become a couple?"

"It's love Kong, the emotion you are seeing in my eyes is love but not brotherly love which you always see, it's a couple love" saying this Beam kissed Kong forehead, Kong turned his face aside with a unshed tears.

"what happened Kong? It's not my first time I am giving you a forehead kiss then why are you feeling disgusted?? This is what will happen between married couples Kong, do you think you can change? You think you can show this love and do this type of thing? Worst, do you think you can accept my love?" Beam asked every question in hurt.

Kong didn't answer him just try to push beam again "Answer me Kong, when will you break your shell?" Beam asked and lay next to Kong whose tears start to flow. "How can you talk about this even after knowing how much I am loving forth?? I thought you know that, I don't care he is married or not, for me forth is my love and will be forever" Beam confessed staring the ceiling with glassy eyes. Kong hold beam hand and apologized.

"I am sorry P'beam.. I thought by marrying you I can make everyone happy...sorry phi I didn't think of you... your love" Kong tighten his hold on beam hand.

"It's ok, I am also sorry for hurting you but please don't get brain washed by them, you should not change for anyone Kong, if you want me to be happy then please get back to your old self, don't stop your emotions anymore, try to make friends or at least hang out with your old friends" Beam told for Kong nodded his head "I-I will try phi" Kong assured after wiping his tears.

Beam nodded his head and closed his eyes. "P'beam... I have something else to talk" Kong spoked for beam to turn his attention back to Kong.

"P'arthit...my department head...I think I like him" Kong confessed while beam jumped to sat on the bed "what?!! How?..I mean when?" Beam asked in happiness. "I don't know how it happened? But I like him, he is good to me, he works hard, he never hurt anyone in office, although he advised me to not help others but he always helps others without any protest, his smile always make me happy and my heart loud."

"Whenever he is getting angry he looks cute, and adorable when he scolded us, he never allow us to overwork until it is necessary, he is not a person who joke around in office but everyone likes him and always praised him, he is the one who helped me in the airport, he call me Kong like he know me for many years and call me kongpop when he is in bad mood, he has sparkling eyes, shiny dimple which make him glow more whenever he smile, he never used his power --.." Kong was cut by Beam.

"Ok enough!! I get it, you are indeed have feelings for him" Beam said for Kong to smile with a shy nod.

"So? What about him? Do you think he also has feelings for you?" Beam asked to Kong who shook his head sadly. "I don't know, I never have a conversation with him apart from office things, I don't even know he like boys or not" Kong said with a sad smile. "Kong why don't you ask him out?" Beam suggested for Kong to panic.

"Me? No no! I can't" Kong protested. "Ok what you think about giving him hint?" Beam asked in hope while Kong also sat on the bed with pillow on his lap. "What hint?" Kong asked curiously.

"Is he going any gym?" Beam asked while Kong recalled if he heard from anything like that from his colleague gossips "I-I don't know" Kong answered, "did you ever notice his body other than this face?" Beam asked.

"What? No!" Kong answered honestly with a little blush. "Tomorrow try to ask him if he is going any gym? If not at least notice his body because from it you can easily know if he is a gym person or not?" Beam suggested to Kong who raised his eyebrows "why?" Kong asked simply.

"You see, one of my patient owns a gym which is closing for a month, you can get him there and spend some time with him alone" Beam said with a wink. "I will try p'beam" Kong told with a smile.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Next day::

Kong waited patiently for Arthit to come, he already bought pink milk for Arthit, he decided to ask Arthit about the gym like beam suggested. He lift his head when he heard foot steps  instead of greeting Arthit like always he allowed his eyes to roam around Arthit body, his eyes checked the shirt of Arthit, tight shirt clearly show the latter firm chest and perfect abs, Kong gulped and allowed his eyes to capture every visual.

Arthit greeted everyone while walking and got confused by Kong who is not greeting him back, decided to enquiry him later Arthit walked pass him. This time Kong eyes roamed around Arthit back and stopped at Arthit ass. In a blink Kong shake his head to delete the dirty thoughts which fleets by his mind.  He took the pink milk in his hand and walked to Arthit cabin.

After Arthit settled in his chair he heard a knock, kongpop entered with a pink milk, he fidgeted in his place and thought how to start "I-" before Kong spoke Arthit apologized "I am sorry kongpop for pushed you by crossing the limits and make you uncomfortable, without trying to understand your side I forced you to accompany me and make you stressed, I am sorry".

Kong got surprised by Arthit apologize, that's when it register for him that he missed the meeting yesterday. Biting his lower lips in guilty he apologized too "I am sorry P'arthit for disappointing you. But my yesterday leave doesn't do anything with the meeting nor with you Phi, it's just...I really got sick" Kong words earned a glad sigh from Arthit. Kong placed the pink milk on Arthit table.

Arthit smiled showing his dimple to Kong who got very happy instantly. When Kong decided to talk about the gym offer, once again Arthit went before him. "Hmmm Kong, are you free this Sunday?" Arthit asked to Kong who nodded his head after a thought.

"Then will you accompany me somewhere?" Arthit asked while sipping his pink milk. Kong got more happy, he thought maybe God is helping him so he nodded his head with a smile and sparkling eyes.

After Kong leaves the room Arthit put his palm on his chest "why are you beating this fast?" Arthit asked his heart and glanced Kong through his glass window.
