~published on November 15th, 2018. But actually I was writing this last two chapters at September 27th, 2018 after the second chapter. I have this scene and just need 18 chapters to finally reach it. Gyahahaha~

Anyway....

I was thinking if it necessary make a story about Posh and Wai. I was making its cover but still waiting the respon from readers, whether I am going to make it or not. It's . I am casting Purim and Chimon to play. Same world and casting as this Freshman.

"No." Beam cuts it. He looks at Phana. "I am not getting bullied. I am just... stupid. That's all," he sighs. "Just... just help me to find a place to move out from that Engineering place. I'll... I'll find a way to roll back into the Medical some way or the other... just..."

Kit nearly has asthma attack while Beam wipes another tear. He looks at Phana. "Just let me fucking-help him!!!"

Phana presses hard on his nose bridge. He nods.

Kit moves to sit beside Beam and hugs his shoulder. "Hey... I know a place. Okay? Just... just move in this weekend. Or tomorrow, be my guest. I'll help you."

Beam looks at Kit with teary eyes. "Really...?"

Kit nods. "It's all white and clean. You are gonna love it."

"Yeah? Where is it?"

Kit smiles dearly. "Your old dorm, beside my room," he says softly.

Beam looks at Kit in confusion.

Kit glances at Phana and then looks back at Beam. "We have been paying for its rent, thinking... hoping... that you just had this crazy idea in your mind, but, sometime, you'll want to come back."

Beam laughs with tears still on his eyes. "What...? Really?"

Kit nods.

Beam turns to Phana. "Really?"

Phana nods. "Kit has the key."

"Cool. I'll... I'll just drop by to get the key tonight and I'll move back in tomorrow " Beam says.

"That fast?" Kit asks.

Beam nods.

Phana looks at Beam. "Tell me what happened."

Beam looks back at Phana. He tries to smile. "Told you... I can't understand the numbers and those imaginary things. Besides... I have things to do, like... rolling out from Engineering and roll back into Medical, so..."

Phana grits his teeth. "I can help you with that. Now tell me what happened."

Beam shakes his head. "Nothing happened. Just the numbers... they are... difficult to understand." He gulps.

Phana is still looking at Beam with his sharp eyes. "Beam..." he hisses.

"Just give him time until he is done with his moving out," Kit says.

Phana turns to Kit and glares at him. "This is why he always makes trouble! You always side with him!"

Kit gulps. "Just... just this time. Okay? He promised he won't make anymore trouble."

"You always says that!!" Phana is not ready to accept it.

"Owh, Pha~, just this time, please.... Next time I'll hit him myself." Kit still tries to make peace with Phana's anger.

Beam just looks at Phana.

Phana sees the pain that he is not seen for a long time. So he just lets it slide. He scoffs.

Silence.

"Pha~..." Kit breaks the silence.

"What?" Phana hisses.

"Help him with the Faculty..." Kit says almost in a whisper.

"Fuck you, Kit!"

"Pha~~!" Kit pouts.

Phana growls. He looks at Beam with still the same anger. "Promise me something."

"I promise." Beam says instantly.

"I haven't even said anything yet!" Phana get enraged.

Kit smacks Beam's head. "Behave. Pha is angry, don't make it worse."

Beam pouts, but he nods. "Sorry, Pha~..."

Phana sighs. "Promise me that you are really gonna keep your word and not make anymore trouble."

Beam nods.

A long silence follows.

Phana sighs. "Just get the moving done. You can start your class right the next day," he says with a softer tone.

Beam looks at Phana. He doesn't understand.

Kit chuckles.

Beam looks at Kit. "I don't understand. That easy?"

Kit is still hugging Beam by his shoulder. "We know you for too long. We know your impulsive self is not gonna last long, so... besides keeping your dorm room, we also made sure you are still a Medical student," he explains. "Before your application of rolling out was processed, Phana changed it to study leave instead."

Beam blinks. He looks at Kit in disbelief and then he looks at Phana. "Really?!"

Phana nods. He is smiling now. "Yeah. I know you like the back of my hand. You are stupid and impulsive."

Beam smiles sadly. "Yeah..."

Phana blinks. "Okay, now I don't know you... at all. Who are you? Where are those annoying retorts that you always used to shoot? Did you lose it somewhere during SOTUS?"

Beam takes a long deep sigh. "Yeah... something like that."

"Looks like SOTUS really works. It could even change you," Kit says.

Beam chuckles. He looks down. "Yeah. SOTUS is great."

Kit ruffles Beam's hair. "Okay. Just pack your things. I'll drop by tomorrow and help you while Phana taked care of your study leave."

Beam nods. "Thanks, Kit." He is still looking down and then he looks up to Phana. "Thanks, Pha."

Phana just nods.

He knows something is wrong. He is gonna pull it out from Beam... sooner or later.

First things first.

Get Beam home.

"Beam, wanna go grab dinner together?" Posh knocks on Beam's door. Wai is standing slightly behind him.

No answer.

"Maybe he went with P'Forth or his friends from Meds," Wai says.

Posh nods.

Posh and Wai walk side by side leaving Beam's door.

Beam looks at the door. He is actually inside his room. He has no Engineering book yet. The lectures only started and he is yet to buy the needed books... and now he feels like he doesn't belong here.

Beam takes the clothes one after the other from the wardrobe.

Running away is usually not his thing. But this time, he can't think about the other way around.

Forth is friends again with Phana.

Will hang out around them again whether he has moved on from Wayo or not.

If he already has, then it's time for him to shine again.

The Forth Jaturapoom everyone knows. The smooth hunter.

Either he will play his old game, or find someone to settle his heart down... and Beam doesn't want to be there to witness it.

Also the ridiculous ForthBeam thing the freshmen have been pushing for should stop. It could ruin whatever Forth wants to do.

Beam blinks seeing his signature book.

He opens the last page.

"I love you too, N'Beam."

Yup, the illusion should stop too.

Beam leaves the signature book on his table. Not packing it with his belongings.

He takes a delivery for dinner and then goes to sleep.

***

Beam is having his breakfast with Forth like he usually does. It's the 20th day. There are 10 more days to go before Beam finishes his breakfast with Forth. But...

"Do you always wear your gear bracelet, P'...?" Beam asks.

"Owh, this?" Forth raises his right wrist. "Yeah. Why?"

Beam laughs. "No wonder it looks worn out."

Forth laughs. "Yeah..."

"You can't give that awful leather bracelet to the one you love, P', na... they will think that you gave them garbage or something."

"Ouch, you dare to say that my heart is a garbage, N'Beam?" Forth smacks on Beam's head teasingly.

Beam laughs. "At least change the leather bracelet, for God sake, P'Forth. Be more toughtful. Make it decent and presentable. The gear is crying."

Forth rolls his eyes.

"Tsk." Beam takes off his bracelet on his right wrist. "Here, use mine."
