《OF PAIN & REGRETS ( FORTHBEAM - EDITED VERSION ) ✔️》03- Of Pain
Advertisement
I inhaled deeply the cold wind that is brushing me as I walk slowly around Han River and wait for the fireworks display. I've been here in Korea for a month now. It makes me clear my mind and ease the pain that I felt a little. I knew today was his engagement party and it will be covered of some TV channels that's why I did not stay home. I am not strong enough to watch him getting tied to someone.
When I first told my brother about going on a trip, his husband suggested Korea. My brother's husband Phana allow me to stay in his property here, talk about being so godamn rich. Actually I want to stay in Jeju Island but living in Seoul is still exciting like living there too, I guess. Maybe I should fly to Jeju tomorrow, I sighed at I thought. I am lost in my thoughts while walking and did not see a biker that is having a trouble with his bike crashing towards me.
I groaned in pain as the bike hit me and caused me to fall down, hard. I almost fainted with the pain I felt hitting my body as I tried so hard to get up. I can hear the biker's worried voice calling me. I tried to move but blackness suddenly hit me. The last thing that I feel before I lost consciousness is the warm and wet thing between my thighs and the frantic and scared voice of the biker calling for help.
I raise a hand to knock on Beam's brother house when the door fly open and a screaming Yo with a baby bump came out.
He said while shuffling a thick jacket on his body and did not notice my presence.
I asked startling him, his eyes narrowed to me before he give me a chilling glare as he crossed his arms over his chest.

He asked coldly and I saw Phana stop at his back and give me that same look of Yo give to me earlier. His stare is more dangerous tho more than the small guy. I gulped but no one can scare me anyway.
I stated calmly and that earned me a punch to my jaw from Wayo. Shit! I think I crack a bone from his hit. This small guy can sure punch hard.
He hissed while squinting at me. I let out a sighed and give him a knowing nod. I am expecting it is not going to be easy. I was such a fool for not noticing Beam's feelings.
He said in worry and my brows knotted.
He glared at me again as I grab his hand and stop him from walking away. Phana slap my hand off. I hissed at the pain.
He roared and I rolled my eyes. Possesive idiot. Yo's ringing phone makes me turn back my attention to him.
Fear creeped into me when I saw how his face paled. He look at me and to his husband worriedly. There is a gut feeling inside me that nothing good happened to Beam.
I ask in frantic and folllow them to their car and Yo stop his tracks few steps away from me.
He said as he squeeze his husband hands
. I still have a lot of questions to ask but I shut my mouth close and get inside their car after them. The drive to the airport is deadly quiet and it makes me fidget on my seat.
We hurried to buy our plane tickets to Seoul upon arriving at the airport. We waited for another hour before the plane take off. As soon as we seetled on our seats, Yo glance at me with a troubled look.

He ask and look at me intensely while waiting for my answer.
I replied without bkinking and he smile.
I asked confusedly, not that I can't take care of Beam but his last words held a deeper meaning.
Was his only reply and cuddle to his husbands arms. I bit my lips from thinking too much. Bike accident didn't do too much damage right? But why is my gut feeling telling me I am going to face the worst of it?
The five hours and a half time travel feels like forever to me as we step out from Incheon Airport. We grab a cab that send us to Seoul District Hospital directly. I ask the information desk where we could find Beam and the three of us hurried to the stairs and hallways leading to his room.
My heart beats wildly inside my chest as I stand outside the room. I let Yo open the door and walk in first and I follow behind them with weak kness.
My eyes look at the body who is laying flat on the bed with IV's attach to his hand. He's staring straight to the ceiling and seems oblivious to our presence.
I heard his brother call him softly and he flinched. He turn his head slowly to us and his lips tremble as he saw his brother. He's mumbling something along with his cries. And when I heard it clearly my world crumpled and my heart broke and pain pierce my entire body as Beam wails in agony.

Now, 13 years later, she finds herself again taken to a foreign world – this time, by her own choice. Not the same world that she returned from, but a foreign world nonetheless. There, struggling in an unknown world, utterly alone, she has a chance encounter with a young lady with a lovely voice. An encounter which would spark a chain of events that would irrevocably shape the world around them. That young lady’s name is Rosalind. This is her story. Disclaimer/Trigger Warnings (Please Read!) THIS WORK WILL MOST LIKELY CONTAIN BOTH HOMOSEXUAL AND INCESTUOUS UNDERTONES. IT WILL ALSO HAVE OCCASIONAL DESCRIPTIONS OF GORE THAT CAN GET REASONABLY GRAPHIC. PLEASE DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU ARE UNDER THE LEGAL AGE IN YOUR COUNTRY TO CONSUME SUCH CONTENT AS MENTIONED ABOVE, OR IF YOU ARE TRIGGERED BY HOMOSEXUALITY, GORE OR INCEST. Notes on Relation to Lily Ex Machina While this story is intended to be a sequel to my first work, Lily Ex Machina (LxM), I will be writing it in a manner that does not require readers to have read LxM to understand it. While having read LxM will likely enhance your enjoyment of this work(I hope), I am intending for this story to be able to stand on its own legs. As such, certain worldbuilding elements that I have expanded upon in LxM will likely be repeated in Seeking Elysium(SEly). As such, for newcomers, it should not be an issue to follow this story without prior knowledge of LxM. On the other hand, for my returning readers, I do beg your forgiveness for forcing you to read through stuff you already know. I’ll do my best to try and make it interesting, but no guarantees of success, I’m afraid. On the other hand, if you’re a newcomer to this series and enjoy SEly, I do hope you’ll take the time to read Lily Ex Machina as well, if only to get more information of the backstories of some characters. Update Schedule I will only post completed volumes on RRL; if you would like to follow the story while it is ongoing, you may do so at my website. I update twice a week, on Wednesdays and Sundays. Supporters on my Patreon get access to chapters a day earlier.

Memoirs of A Healer/Clinical Social Worker: Autobiography of Bruce Whealton
A loving spouse. A healer. How does this person cope with evil villains willing to destroy everything? They convicted the victim... now how does the victim goes on with life as a healer?As the book opens, I was in a psychiatric hospital following a suicide attempt in December 2019. What starts as a simple conversation with another patient changed my life. Most of the rest of the book tells the reader how I got to this point. I experienced profound injustice between 2004 and 2006. By opening with a story about suicide, I want the reader to understand that the injustice was not just something that happened long ago.This book is an account of all the accomplishments and successes that I had in overcoming tremendous odds and challenges. Growing up, I was paralyzed by shyness and lacked social skills, and so the idea of becoming a psychotherapist never occurred to me when I went off to college. I learned that I could overcome those limitations. I wanted to bring that hope and healing to others. Activities like that make life meaningful and bring me joy. The reasons why I was suicidal in 2019 were set in motion in 2000 when a meteor would come crashing down upon the life that I had built leaving me powerless to do anything other than watching everything burn to ashes - the home that I had, the life I had known, the love I had, my career, everything would disappear almost as if it never existed. In that one the year 2000, I could not imagine things could get any worse. But the nightmare would continue for the next few years... culminating in a suicide attempt in 2019. Now, I am connecting with others, building relationships, and finding a reason to live again. I am writing my own story of my life. I will fight against the injustice of the past and offer my gifts to the world. I have so much to offer. I have quite a story to tell. I hope you will help me to move on with my life.
