The next day, Can woke up feeling pain everywhere on his body. He moaned as he looked around his surroundings. When he noticed that it wasn't his hotel room, he jotted out of the room.

Can - Tin!

He forced his body to a stopping point as he found Tin already have breakfast ready.

Tin - you're awake? Come and eat before it gets cold.

Can - (walked awkwardly to the table where the food is set.) Last night....How did I get here?

Tin placed the fried eggs on the table and looked at Can.

Tin - Kira brought you here.

Can - (confused) Kira?

Tin - he was at the bar also. (Sat down and gave Can an unhappy look) Can, why did you do something like that? Do you constantly go drinking every time you're depressed?

Can - well yeah, that's what everybody does nowadays. (Sat down and teased an eye at Tin) that's what you did four years ago too.

Tin was caught hanging in the air. He cleared his throat and avoided eyes hastily.

Tin - I can't believe you still remember something like that. It's not worth remembering, forget about it.

Can - (chucked) Nah, I'm going to keep it forever...(touched his chest) here in my heart.

Tin couldn't help it but smile at that. He then took out something on the counter and placed it on the table where Can could see it.

It's a train ticket to Bangkok.

Can - (eyes widen) Tin! What is this?

Tin - (smiled) it's my ticket to Krung Thep.

Can - (grabbed the ticket and scanned at it.) But the dates here say today to Sunday. (Gave Tin a confused look) Tin, I don't go home until next week.

Tin - exactly. I'm going to spend my time in Bangkok and when I come back, you will go home.

Can looked at Tin with an unsatisfied face.

Can - Ai Tin... why??? I only have a week left with you and you just going to bail on me like that? (Shook his head) No way. Nuh uhh. I'm going with you.

Tin - you stay and watch the kids. I don't trust anybody but you, okay?

Can - no! my guards can watch them! I'm going with you!

Tin - (sighed) Can, let me go alone, please.

Can - (quickly hide the ticket inside his pocket.) No.

Tin - give me my ticket, Can.

Can - no.

Tin - give it to me.

Can - NO.

Tin made his way around the table to Can as Can quickly jotted out of his chair and moved to the other side.

Tin grinned, finding Can quite amusing.

Tin - (looked ahead like he was staring at somebody) oh, John. Hi.

Can turned around, think that it was John. He found no one.

Tin moved, faster than before, around the table while Can wasn't aware, and caught Can right on the arm.

He pulled Can to him and locked him inside his arm.

Can - Ow! Let go!

Tin - not until you give me my ticket.

Can could feel Tin's breath on his ear. Despite the fact that Tin wasn't intend to talk directly in his ear, he was a result of holding Can so close and it felt tickle.

Tin - what now? Are you gonna give me my ticket or not?

Can - Ai Tin. (Struggled) okay, fine.

Tin slowly let go of Can and Can took out the ticket from his pocket.

Can - here.

He sounded sad as he handed Tin the ticket. Tin stared at the ticket and then to Can.

Tin - do you hate me now?

Can didn't answer.

Tin grabbed onto Can and pulled him into a hug.

Tin - I'm sorry, kay?

Can didn't hug back.

Tin - I want to make things work... but we just have to see. That's why I need to go back. Wait for me, okay?

A segment of memories came rushing back to Can from last night.

"Please make 'us' work, Tin... I beg of you..."

Can - (hugged Tin) how are you planning to make it work?

Tin paused for a few seconds and Can could feel his breathing was unstable.

Can - Tin?

Tin - it's...it's time for me to return home.

Can bit his lips hard. It must have been hard for Tin to actually boost up the courage to decide to go back. But this is what Can want more than anything. Sooner or later, Tin would have to meet his family again. The truth cannot hide forever.
