Beam is having dinner with Phana, Kit, Wayo and Ming tonight just after the Moon Gathering ends.

"You really look awful." Kit can't stop mocking Beam for the dance practice he has to go through during the whole Moon competition week.

"Karma is a bitch, eh?" Even Phana can't stop himself from mocking Beam even though Wayo keeps giving him glares, not approving Phana's behaviors.

"Owh, stop it, P'," Ming pleads. "You are going to get us into trouble. P'Beam is starting to take this seriously."

"Owh, you don't know how he acted during the last two year's ago competition when Phana had to go through it. Beam mocked him at every second he had a chance. This is a shameful beauty pageant for Beam!" Kit defends himself. "Don't pull your Engineering loyalty on me now that he is one of you."

Ming sighs. He knows. Beam said it clearly not only in front of the freshmen but to the three of the previous Moons of Engineering—Kongpob, Forth and himself.

But Beam has already changed. Forth managed to talk to him, and Ming doesn't want to ruin Forth's hardworking and Beam's positive deed.

"But P'Beam will have to run 100 laps and do 1000 push-ups if he fails to win the Campus Moon title," Ming says.

"What?!" Phana's eyes widen. "They can do that?! Don't listen to them!"

Wayo gasps in worry. "That is awful."

"Serve you right, Beam," Kit smirks.

Ming doest agree with Kit this time too. "P'Kit, please na..."

Beam chuckles. "It's okay, Ming. I deserve it."

Kit's smirk disappears instantly from his face. Beam says what?

"No, you don't, you worked hard." Ming keeps defending Beam. "You're the only one in SOTUS history that can finish the 1000 signatures task in 5 days! You're the only freshman that attends the SOTUS when everyone else gave up! I won't let anyone say that to you. Not even P'Kit!"

Wayo makes a WOW with his lip movement. Ming shifted his priority from his lovely P'Kit to Beam? WOW.

Ming really looks troubled right now.

Phana is stunned too.

Kit can't believe what Ming just did.

Beam blinks. Ming just got himself in trouble for him. Really? Against his P'Kit nonetheless.

Ming sighs. "Sorry, P'Kit... but I think P'Beam..." He lowers his gaze and doesn't dare to look back at Kit.

Kit blinks. Usually he would already burst in anger at Ming's stupidity, but this time, instead of smacking his head, he is patting it softly.

Ming looks up. He is confused too.

Kit smiles. "I am not really saying that to Beam. I was just teasing him."

"Your tease can make P'Forth's effort of making P'Beam take this competition seriously become useless, P'...." Ming says in a low voice. "Please don't do that to P'Forth, his days are rough already. He has too much to do."

Kit smiles. "Forth is lucky he has a loyal junior like you."

"Everyone is loyal to P'Forth," Ming says.

Kit sighs. "I am sorry."

Ming nods. He has pink dust on his cheeks hearing Kit say sorry to him.

And then Kit smacks Beam's head. "You got me scolded by my boyfriend! You better win the Campus Moon title, asshole."

Beam bursts into laughter. "You are cheering me up now? Are you not going to cheer on your Faculty Moon?"

Wayo chuckles. "Ming is growing teeth towards his P'Kitty."

Kit looks at Wayo un-amused. This little devil started to show his true self since he started dating Phana in just his third month. He is not cute.

He hates it every time he calls him 'P'Kitty'. It feels like low-keying, teasing his patience.

Phana chews his food slowly. "How is Forth doing?" he asks suddenly to Beam.

Beam looks at Phana. He is quiet surprised by the sudden question. He smiles in understanding to Phana. Between the three members of the Craz-Doc gang, Phana is the closest with Forth.

WAS the closest.

Wayo looks at Phana.

Even Ming and Kit are stunned too.

Phana has never mentioned Forth's name since Wayo happened between them.

Wayo had given up trying to make his boyfriend understand since a long time ago— how he adores Forth as his senior and he is one of Phana's good friends that he should not lose just because of Wayo.

Phana looks at Beam with an un-readable expression.

"Forth is fine," Beam says softly. "You were having a talk with him yesterday, weren't you?"

Phana bits his lower lip. He looks down to his dinner. Yeah, an awkward talk in front of the audience of the Moon and Star Gathering because they had to, not the real conversation.

Beam taps on Phana's hair. "Pha..."

Phana looks up to Beam.

"Forth is fine." Beam repeats his saying.

Phana's eyes are teary. He scoffs and chews his food again.

"You can drop by to Engineering to say 'hi' some time," Beam adds.

Phana scoffs again, his tears nearly break down from his eyes. He is really sad for losing Forth all this time. He is worried because he heard Forth was not moving on yet—he is totally out of the market. He is angry because this happened. He is jealous of how Wayo adores Forth mainly because he knows how great Forth is as a man, friend and probably even better a boyfriend than him.

But...

He misses Forth.

"... hand the invitation of the Final Night of Moon and Star by yourself," Beam says softly.

Phana looks at Beam in the eye.

Beam smiles. "Don't let Ming hand it to him. You do it."

Phana nods. He slowly smiles again.

Wayo's eyes widen. Really? Phana wants to be friends with Forth again? He is so happy he hugs Phana tightly without saying anything.

Phana chuckles. "You are going to break my bones, Yo."

Kit covers his mouth with his palms. He is actually very happy on how Phana is starting to ask about Forth again. These whole years he knows deep down that Phana missed Forth.

Phana sure has him and Beam, but Forth is the friend that Phana needs to complete his circle of friendship. More likely Phana will suit in the Engineering gang instead of taking care of his two troublesome friends he calls Kitty and Beamie.

Ming smiles widely. He says nothing. He can't even deliver a cheesy line out of it. He is just very happy.

He looks at Beam who is still tapping on Phana's head. He is now questioning Beam's decision of starting over his education in Engineering just to be part of the Engineering gang for his protection, but....

He thanks God that Beam did it. And he'll be in every step to make Beam enter the gang. Infact, Beam is already in the gang anyways.

Ming smiles while looking at Beam in complete adoration. Maybe this was why Forth was like Park says: soft, no... fluffy... towards Beam. There is something about Beam that's more than just 'The Casanova' picture that he paints.

Ming realized it since he got to know him from the year that he started dating Kit. But it becomes clear now....

Beam has a warm heart.

That's why he also realizes for some time now as to why Phana is more possessive of anything related to Beam rather than Kit.

Beam looks at Ming. "What?"

"P'Beam, you're the best freshman we have this year!"

Beam scrowls over Ming's hair. "Yeah...? Dare to say that now, huh, Ming? Where are you when I needed you to save me during SOTUS hell?"

"Owh, P'Beam! You bring too much trouble, I'll be dead before I can save you."

Everyone at the table is laughing at Ming's defense.

"Good morning, P'Forth..." Beam smiles brightly and sits across Forth for their breakfast routine, the free breakfast that Beam owes Forth.

Forth is smiling too. "Good morning, N'Beam. Have you found your talent yet?"

Beam chuckles. "Not yet, P'Forth, but I will."

This is their 3rd day having breakfast together out of the 30 free breakfasts that Beam promised Forth.

In between, Beam is not troubling Forth's hazing activities and working hard to win the Campus Moon title for their beloved Engineering Faculty.

They share how they passed the day before without each other, and wish the best to each other for what they have to do for this day.

And then Beam gets in his car while Forth gets on his bike at the dimsum place's parking lot. They wave each other goodbye and drive away by themselves.

Posh stands beside Wai in front of the dimsum places with both hands in his pocket while Wai is still drinking his vanilla milk.

"Babe..." Posh says to Wai.

"Hmm?" Wai asks in a mumble.

"I didn't know we are invisible," Posh says while tilting his head.

Wai chuckles. "I didn't know either."

"They didn't fucking-see us. Seriously," Posh says in disbelief. "I am this big, you are that loud, but no, they didn't fucking-see us."

Wai nods in agreement. "They're a pair of Moons, baby. We're just the meteoroids roaming around with no importance in this wide galaxy."

"They didn't fucking-see us!" Posh throws both hands in the air as he repeats his statement for the third time. "Un-fucking-believable!"

*

"Once again!!!!" Forth's yells echo in the entire field while he is leading the hazing activities.

"Weeaaaakkkklliiiiingggsss!!!"

"Do you call yourself Engineering students?!"

"Yes! P'Forth!!!"

"Then show mee!!!"

*

Beam is panting hard after the dance practice. He gulps his water while leaning on the wall.

Prae, the Star of Engineering sits beside him. She is sweating too. "Did you find your talent yet, P'Beam?" she asks in worry.

Beam shakes his head. But he smiles at Prae. "Don't worry. I will. I won't let any of you down. I won't let P'Forth down."

Prae smiles. "I know you won't let P'Forth down. You love him."

Beam laughs. "That was just to get his signature, Prae."

Prae shakes her head. "No. You love him and he loves you. And there is nothing that any one can tell me otherwise. Not even you, not even him," she says in determination.

Beam laughs harder.

"Moon courting Moon. I don't care who is courting who, just be 2Moons. Okay?"

"P'Kongpob will kill you, Prae."

"Naaah... I have the whole first year with me," Prae grins.

"No, you don't."

Prae winks at Beam. She text to Irin, who is watching Forth in the Faculty. "How's P'Forth?"

"Secured," Irin replies. "We were kicking two girls just in the morning and probably need more help... probably from the boys..."

"Who do you have in mind?"

"Posh and Wai for start," Irin replies again.

"Then Posh and Wai it is," Prae agrees.

Just then Irin sees a girl with big puppy eyes, probably from the second year walking towards Forth. "In the direction of 2 o'clock!!"

Three girls who are near the second year girl hurriedly run and block her.

She is stunned, holding a pink envelope in her hand. "What?" The freshmen this year are scary. None of them skip SOTUS and all of them are possessive.

"Is that for P'Forth?" one of the freshmen girl asks.

The second year girl nods.

"You can't give that to P'Forth. He has a boyfriend," the other one says.

The second year girl shakes her head. "No, he does not."

The third freshmen girl sighz. She shows Forth's signature with his writing, "I love you too, N'Beam."

"An engineering student will do anything when some one tries to snatch their friend's lover, na, P'...?" the first girl asks coldly. "P'Forth is Beam's boyfriend. Back the fuck-OFF!"

The second year girl takes a step back.

"This is a warning, the next time we won't bother to talk. Seriously."

Five minutes later the three freshmen girls need to do 10 push-ups for leaving the field when SOTUS is still running.

Irin shows a thumb up to her three friends.

They just nod and then do their punishments.

No freshmen are skipping SOTUS.

No one is questioning the punishment that their hazer gives.

The freshmen heard about Kongpob saying how Forth is a failure when they know he isn't. They know how Park defended him, they know how Beam is trying hard to do his job even he doesn't like it, and they won't let their Head Hazer down.

*

Kongpob just blinks at seeing how the SOTUS and Moon Gathering turns out.

"Told you they all got Forth's back. Even the freshmen," Aim whispers behind Kongpob's ear.

Kongpob smiles happily. "Choosing Forth as the Head Hazer is the best choice in my life."

"I thought that was your biggest mistake." –Wad.

"I thought your best choice is to love P'Arthit and win his heart." –Tiew.

Kongpob smacks both Wad and Tiew's heads.

Aim bursts into laughter.

A/N:

I know what I am going to do with "Freshman" 's version of Phana, Wayo, Ming and Kit. It won't be like in Given. But I promise nothing.

Some readers and even @Darzls is worried about Beam's future. Yeah. He is worrisome indeed.

But not even you can squeeze the spoiler out of me, @Darzls . Thank you for your big help even if we are separated by the 12 hours timezone difference.
