A few days past.

Tin didn't see Can. The whole day without him and also couldn't get hold of him surely made Tin's brain go wild. Where could he be at this moment?

As Tin was looking out the window inside the Orphanage, Teen and Mia 2 came up to him.

Mia 2 - Big brother, where is big brother Can?

Tin - (kneel down to them) Big Brother also has no idea.

Teen - you seem very lonely without big brother Can, are you missing him?

Tin just smiled.

Teen - is he at your work?

Tin shook his head just when his phone rang. He answered it without looking at who's calling.

Tin - hello? (paused for a few seconds) I'll be right there.

Tin rushed home and found a black car parked right in front of his porch and John was holding the drunken Can. Kira also stood there, he was the one who called Tin.

Tin- what happened? (Looked at Can but the question was referring to Kira.) Why is Can like this?

Kira - saw him at the bar. he's drunk. he created a tantrum and cried at the same time. I tried to stop him but he wouldn't let me. My men had to force him into the car.

Tin - (find the situation kind of odd) but Can doesn't usually wander alone and he doesn't drink.

Kira - (shook his head) don't look at me. I don't know a thing.

Tin - well... thank you, Kira. (carried Can and looked at John) I can take him, you go prepare him a room.

John - okay. (Walked off)

Kira - I'm gonna go now.

Tin - (finally remembered something) did you get to see your father?

Kira - (shook his head) he declined the visit.

Tin - did your mom get to see him though?

Kira shook his head again and one of his men came to open the car door for him.

Kira - tell Can thank you.

Tin - for what?

Kira - for telling me this ain't worth it. I should respect myself. I'm not going to wait for my father to see me. I'm always here... so he can call me anytime.

Tin - (smiled) I'm not in a position to tell Can. you should tell him that yourself.

Kira - (rolled his eyes in annoyance.) Dammit Tin... you're a bummer.

Tin laughed.

Tin - I know you're a good person. You always are.

Kira scoffed.

Can raised his head to Tin. His eyes were half-open.

Can - W-what ggood person?

Even though Can is drunk he can still see Tin very well.

Can - Tin! It's you!! (Burped) you're not a good person, Tin. You are a bad person!

Tin - (shocked at what Can said) what did I do to you?

Kira - (looked at Can with one eyebrow raised.) You must have done something so horrible to him for him to proceed with alcohol like that.

Tin struggled as Can kept on touching his face.

Tin - I don't know. Ow! (Can almost poked his eyes) Can, stop it!

Kira - (shook his head at the sight in pitiful.) well, I'm going now.

Tin - bye, thank you again.

Kira - later.

The black car drove off.

Tin carried Can into the small room where he once slept in.

John - boss, do you need anything else?

Tin - No, you can go.

John - I won't disturb you like last time.

Tin - (sent death glares at John) go away.

John chuckled as he quickly rushed out to his little cabin.

Tin dropped Can to the bedsheet. He placed the blanket on top of him and sighed at the sight of Can. As he was about to walk out, Can uttered his name.

Can - Tiiinnn....

Tin - (turned back to look at him) what?

Can half-opened his eyes and stared straight at Tin.

Can - wheerrree aaarreee yyoouu ggoooing?

Tin - I'll let you sleep.

Can - Nooo! (Climbed out of the sheet)

Tin - Can. (Walked back to push Can back to the bed.) Hurry up and sleep so I can talk to you when you're back to normal.

Can - (grabbed hold of Tin's arm) ttaallkk to mmmee now! I'm nnooot drunkkk.

Tin - yeah, every drunk person would say that.

Can - (mumbled) y-you never care, do you?

Tin - hm?

Can - (looked at Tin in the eye.) I have to... go back home next week.

Tin's eyes widen. It stung him in the heart which he knew would come eventually.

Tin - next week?

Can - (Sneered) of course you wouldn't know, you never cared to ask.

Tin sat down next to Can and Can looked away from him.

Tin - now Can, stop assuming my feelings. I care for you and you know it. That's why I avoid asking cuz I don't want you to leave.

Can's sleepy eyes turned brighter. He gazed back at Tin.

Can - really? (Tin nodded) I...I love you...Tin... (placed his head on Tin's shoulder.) Please make 'us' work, Tin... I beg of you...
