《(TinCan) I Hate U.》selfish
Advertisement
Tin was stomping so fast away from Can. Can, who followed behind, trying to catch up.
Can - Tin! Why are you mad? Wait up!
Tin - no! Get away from me, Can!
Can - and to where? There are only me and you here. We have to stick together!
Tin - but I don't want to see your face right now!
Can - Tin, why are you mad? We both survive, didn't we?
Tin - (turned angrily at Can and made Can stopped his steps.) and what if it didn't end up this way?! You could've died because of me!
Can - it's not because of anyone. It doesn't matter if I have the knife, I'm gonna drown either way. So I might as well give it to you so you could save yourself.
Tin - (clenched his fist so hard it turned white) you...you are being selfish. That was no difference of sacrificing yourself to save me!
Can - but you see! (Pointed to himself) I'm alive now, aren't I?
Tin - that's what pissed me off! you almost die and you're so calm about it.
Can - that's because I'm still overwhelmed! I thought... I was dreaming or something. (Lowered his eyes.) I didn't expect for you to save me but you did...so thank you...
Can was surprised that Tin didn't say anything after that but Can know that something still bothers Tin.
Can - (walked towards Tin) I'm...sorry. I wasn't trying to be selfish. But if you look at the bright side, you did save me and we're both alive now, right? So why are you still mad?
Tin closed his eyes as if trying to calm himself down. Then he took a slip of breath and stared right at Can.
Tin - I'm angry because you lied to me that you also have a blade with you. You made me thought that you could save yourself...but instead... you planned to die alone. You could've just told me to save you. You could've just let me know that you don't know how to swim, that way I could save you a lot sooner.

Tin's voice was shaking now as he tried so hard not to let the emotion take over.
Tin - You were unconscious throughout the whole freakin' night while I was carrying you to the shore. Do you how scared I was?! I thought I was carrying a dead body!
Can's heart ached from every word that was coming out of Tin's mouth. He didn't know that he could be such a burden to him. He only sees the outcome, he didn't see the struggles that Tin has to go through in order to save him. Why was he so stupid?
Can - I'm...sorry...
Tin blinked back his emotion and walked away.
Can - (quickly followed) I won't do it again, I promise! Hey, wait for me! I'm scared! We're in the middle of nowhere, let's stick together!
The sun starting to set as they both were still walking.
Can - we have been walking for hours now and we didn't see a single person. How are we going to get out of this island?
Tin - We need to at least find somebody to help us.
Can - What if there's no one here?
Tin - (almost trip) I don't know.
Can stared at Tin and realized that he can barely walk.
Can - Tin, do you want to rest?
Tin shook his head.
Can - Let me know when you're tired so I can carry you.
Tin - you? (scoffed.)
Can - I'm serious. I might be small but I'm strong.
Tin - (look away annoyingly.) Yeah right.
Can's leg also feels like his legs are about to fail on him too. He walked to sit on a rock and start to massage his thighs.
Can - okay fine, I admit. I am tired. We haven't eaten anything ever since we got here. I'm starving...

Tin sat down on a rock also.
Tin - are we going to die here or what?
Can - hey, you survived in the ocean carrying me overnight. Here is nothing! Look at all the trees around us, we can find fruits to eat.
Tin - we have been walking for hours and we haven't seen a single fruit. How are you going to find something to eat? So freakin hot too.
Suddenly Can heard something from afar. He stood up, wandering his eyes around the area.
Tin - (looked at Can confused) what?
Can - Tin, I'll be right back. (Began to run ahead.)
Tin - Can! (Stood up) where are you going?!
Can - I'll be right back! (Yelled back)
Tin - (eyed Can until he can't see him anymore) look at him run... and he said he's tired.

What kind of changes can these people bring to the world where magical and supernatural forces exist? What will be the future of each of them in this mysterious story? Come with me to travel and discover all this in... Magic x Magic... - - / - Hey, guys! I want to tell everyone that I managed to recreate a text structure that satisfied me. Finding this new structural formula, I proceeded to rewrite all the released chapters (0000~0048). Rewriting the chapters, I would like to make it clear that; 1 The basis of the story will not change. Only a few small details will be changed, so that those readers who do not want to re-read the chapters will not be harmed in following the story. 2 Those interested in starting over will be rewarded with the introduction of new POVs of some already established plots from the already released chapters. And as I said before, the entire story already developed will not change. Treat this as a way of enriching some plots and backstories for some characters. 3 I decided to bring some plots that would only appear after finishing the first arc. These storylines don't have a development in this arc, but they are storylines that are happening at the same time as the events of the first arc. So there are some more mysteries to reward those who will re-read the novel. Rewrite Update:New Reading Aid Rule: Incomplete.Prologue to Book 01 (Arc 01): Incomplete.Rewritten Chapters: 0000. I want to warn you that for now the chapters are being released gradually, don't give up on me... For more details visit my Patreon page, you can find details about me and the novel 'Magic x Magic' in public posts. A big hug to everyone!Cover art by me, ScanLi.
