This is a continuation of chapter 2

Jeff's POV

Even as I was guiding Gameplay towards the entrance to the temple, my mind was racing on a frantic level towards Barcode. I anxiously wondered where he was at this time, hoping and praying that he would be able to make it to the temple before it was too late.

I knew that if I never got to see Barcode again, that I would die bringing the guilt and sadness to my grave.

"Ohgahd we made it, sweetheart!" Game's shout of relief brought me back to the reality of being with someone I knew I shouldn't be with.

"Yes we did," I said in a weak voice as I walked with Game towards the heavy wooden doors that would lead us into the lobby.

A kind looking monk approached us upon seeing us enter the temple. He instructed us to write our names on a piece of paper and told us to wait for our names to be called by the monk in charge who was busy assigning rooms to those who had reached the temple ahead of us.

After we did so, Game turned to me saying, "I feel cold."

I immediately placed my arms around him.

Just as I did so, I saw Barcode enter the lobby, looking dazed and disoriented. Then suddenly I saw him falling in slow motion to the floor.

I was about to run to catch him but someone closer to the lobby doors rushed towards him and caught him before he could hit the floor.

I let go of Game and was about to start walking towards Barcode but Game held me back.

"That might be Barcode's new boyfriend, don't intervene," Game cautioned me. "And besides, are you going to leave me here shivering while you attend to Barcode? Do you still love him?"

I couldn't answer Game's question. I went back to placing my arms around him to give him warmth and comfort. He was shivering badly.

With my arms wrapped around Game, I watched as the same monk who had approached us earlier started walking towards Barcode and his rescuer.

"He's conscious!" his rescuer announced to the approaching monk.

I couldn't see Barcode's rescuer's face because his back was to me.

The monk said something to him and then I saw his face when he turned and scooped Barcode into his arms.

I felt like I had taken a hit to my solar plexus. Barcode's rescuer was Man Trisanu Soranon, one of Thailand's top models and football players.

But what the hell was Barcode doing, being with a man fourteen years his senior!?!

I had left Barcode because I couldn't take the constant criticism of being ten years his senior, and now he goes off to be with a man fourteen years his senior! What the hell was Barcode thinking??? Did he want to go through all the judgments and criticisms again???

Game recognized Barcode's rescuer as well.

"Isn't that Mr. Soranon who's with Barcode?" Game asked as the monk and Mr. Soranon passed by us.

Barcode had not seen me because his eyes were almost closed while he was being carried to wherever the monk was leading him and Mr. Soranon.

"Jeff and Gameplay!"

Suddenly we heard our names being called from the front desk by the monk in charge.

"Let's go," I urged Game and guided him towards the front desk.

"I'm Jeff and this is Gameplay," I informed the monk in charge upon reaching his desk.

"You are being assigned to room 20 and Gameplay is being assigned to room 21," the monk in charge announced to us.

"Why can't we be assigned to the same room?" Gameplay asked before I could.

"I am assigning arrivals according to bed availability," the monk in charge replied, sounding a tinge irritated at being questioned about his decision.

"Thank you kindly," I quickly said, guiding Gameplay towards a corridor in search of our rooms.

"Not that hallway," the monk in charge called after us. "It's the hallway after that.

"Thank you," I clasped my hands together and bowed to the monk in charge before guiding Game towards the adjacent hallway.

"Let me bring you to your room first," I said as we went past room 20.

The door of room 21 was slightly open and we could hear voices from inside.

I knocked briefly before pushing it wider.

There were five occupants in the room and they all stopped talking and stared at us as we entered.

"There's only one more available bed space," one of the occupants announced.

"Yes, it's only one of us who will be staying in this room," I replied.

I urged Game to move forward.

"He's the one who will be occupying the last available bed space," I said to the person who had spoken to us.

"The last available bed space is the one in the middle, where I am right now," he announced.

He stood up from his bed and approached Game.

"Hi, bed mate!" he said with a friendly smile, extending his hand to Game. "My name is Poom. What's yours?"

"I am Gameplay. Just call me Game for short," Game replied, accepting Poom's offer of a handshake. "I'm pleased to meet you."

For those who might not know him, his name is Poom Phuripan Sapsangsawat. He played the role of Joe in his latest BL series "My Stand-in" opposite Up Poompat Iam-samang.

I had a sudden sense of foreboding when I noticed Game looking at Poom appreciatively.
