Can was lounging on the couch at the living room while Gucci played lazily around Can.

"Can, Gucci is a few days behind for his vaccine shot. Let's take him to the vet, na." Can's mother said.

"Aww, mae. I don't feel like going out today." Can said as he squirmed around on the couch, trying to act adorable so he can get out of going to the vet.

A pillow hurtling at a fast speed suddenly was thwacked at Can's abdomen. Can shouted, not in pain but in surprise.

"P'Can, stop being childish. Let's go to the vet." Ley said, her hands crossed around her body.

His mother and sister waited expectantly for him to get up.

"Fine but we are stopping for snacks on the way home." he groaned.

"I'm going bankrupt because feeding you alone, you know." Can's mother said.

Can just grinned at his mother.

-----

They arrived at the vet and Gucci was getting restless in the backseat. The dog found the ride enjoyable for the first few minutes before trying to find an escape way from the vehicle.

"Can, you take Gucci first, okay? Ley and I going to find a place to park the car."

"Ok, mae"

Can exited the car, his hand holding Gucci's leash. The dog probably excited after going out of the car, he started to run.

Can was having a hard time keeping up with Gucci, suddenly the leash slipped away from his hand. Can panicked as his dog run further from him.

"Gucci!" he shouted.

Gucci ran straight to a person and the guy squatted down to stop the dog. Can finally arrived at Gucci, slightly out of breath.

"Thank you for your h--" Can's word was cut off when he realized who had stopped his dog.

Why of all the people in the world?

Tin stand up, smirking at Can.

"Gucci...Gucci." Can tried calling for his dog.

Gucci had the audacity to ignore Can. The dog just sat next to Tin, tail wagging excitedly.

Seeing the dog ignored Can and stuck like glue next to him, Tin smirked harder.

"Ai'Asshole, what are you smiling at?"

Can tried calling Gucci again but it seemed like his dog was too busy staring at Tin, heart eyes were obvious on the dog's eyes. Tin was stroking the dog's head with a soft look on his face. It was bizarre for Can to see that kind of expression on the face that always argue and insult him.

Because of Gucci didn't want to part with Tin, Can had to bring Tin along to the vet where his mother and sister were waiting. Tin had help Can to hold Gucci when he got his vaccine shot.

"Thank you, Tin for helping us. I never thought Gucci would like someone outside our family this much." Can's mother said to Tin

"You're welcome."

"We are going to get some meal. Let's go together na, Tin "

"Do we have to invite him, mae? Let's go to lunch with just us." Can objected.

"CANTALOUPE! Tin already helped us, we should repay him. Besides, he is your friend."

"Aww mae, I told you not to call me by full nickname."

And I'm not his friend.

"Is Can short for Cantaloupe?" Tin asked.

Can's mother just nodded and gave a small smile.

"Why?! Do you have problem with that?" Can said.

Tin just smirked at Can.

After the meal, Tin thanked Can's mother.

"Can I walk Gucci for a while?" Tin asked.

"Are you planning to kidnap my dog, asshole?" Can said.

"Can! Be nice. Sure, you can. Take Can with you, he need a walk too. He had not leave the house since the break started."

"Thank you. I'll take both of them home after we are done."

Can clearly did not agree to this but he did not have a choice but to follow. It seemed his mother adore Tin so much. Sure anyone will if they took out Tin's rudeness out of the equation.

They went to a nearby park. Gucci was happy in his own world, chasing butterfly. He was completely oblivious with the awkward tension between his owner and the other boy.

"Do you like dogs?" Can decided to break the silence.

Tin nodded.

"I used to have a dog when I was a kid. She died last year."

"Oh" Can said, not sure how to proceed.

"Gucci is my wish, you know?" Can said instead.

"Wish?"

"You know, the three wishes that we get when we were born. One of the wish is Gucci."

Tin looked at Can like he came from another planet.

"What on Earth are you talking about?"

"How come you don't know about this?! Everyone knows about this."

"Are you saying that every human in this world are granted with three wishes?" Tin asked.

"Yes but most of them were used when they were a baby."Can explained.

Tin was silence for a while as if contemplating something. He finally looked at Can in the eyes.

"I wish a pigeon shit on you." Tin said.

Can panicked and try to dodge for possible incoming bird poop. Tin just laughed at his antics when there are nothing happened.

"Oi you asshole, why would you wish for that?" Can said.

Tin just laughed harder.

He looked younger when he laughs like that.

Can blinked away that thought in an instant.

"Haha, you should see your face. See, there is no such thing as wishes."

"Or maybe you already used up yours." Can mumbled, his words went unheard to the taller boy.

The tension between them had loosened a bit. Now, they sat on the park bench with comfortable silence, watching Gucci play around.

"I'm sorry for punching you the other day." Can suddenly break the silence.

"I don't mind if you want to insult or fight with me but I can't take it when you targeted my friends." Can added.

Tin was silence for a long time. Just when Can wanted to open his mouth again, Tin looked at him and said,

"I just wanted to protect Pete, he is too naive and trusting. I'm afraid he will end up getting hurt."

"Ae is not like that. You can trust him."

"Well, I can't be sure about that, can I? Pete is my best friend but unlike him, I don't trust people easily." Tin said.

"If you don't trust anybody, why are you telling me all this?" Can asked

"There's something about you that I can't put my finger on. Plus, I promised Pete to try and get along with you." Tin said.

"Oh, I see."

"Can I have your phone number?" tin asked.

"What for?!"

Why would this guy suddenly want my phone number?

"In case if I want to play with Gucci again."

Oh. Should I give it to him? He seemed genuinely want to get along with me.

Can nodded and give his number to Tin.

As promised, Tin took Can and Gucci home.

"See you, Can." Tin said before he drove away, leaving Can and Gucci in front of their house.

"What a weird day." Can thought.

"Oi Gucci, you have a fun day, huh? Betrayed me like that. I won't speak to you for a day because you did that" Can said to his dog, who blinked innocently at him.
