Another TinCan story you might not want to read. This story starts with the scene where Can rejected Tin. Then it'll jump to a few years later with their lives apart. Don't know where this is headed but that's the gist of the plot.

A/N: I found some minor conflict with few things. I'm sorry guys. I totally forgot I wrote in Chapter 15 that Paul was unaware of the assault. And then in the previous chapter I indicated that Paul knew. Hehe. So, I altered some things in chapter 39, but it wasn't that much. Sorry for the inconvenience.

"Happy birthday, Can!" Paul exclaimed.
"Dude, it's still early in the morning, why do you have to disturb my peaceful sleep?" Can unenthusiastically replied as he sat up on their bed. He rubbed his eyes while yawning. Since Paul was video calling him, he extended his hand to move his phone away from his face.
"Because I want to be the first one to greet you."
"Whatever. So, what's your gift for me?" he asked as he walked out of the room to the bathroom. He left his phone on the sink to wash his face.
"Wow, thank you very much for the greetings, Paul. I really appreciate it," Paul sarcastically said making him roll his eyes.
He was now wiping his face with a towel. "Fine. Thank you for disturbing my sleep," he sarcastically replied as well.
"You really have no sense of gratitude. I especially left my work just to greet you and here you are rolling your eyes on me. You ungrateful scumbag."
He just shook his head at Paul's whining.
"Anyway, I'm sorry I won't be able to join you in celebrating your birthday. My work will be finished this afternoon. I'll take a flight back there as soon as it's over."
"It's all right. I understand that you have your responsibilities at work."
He exited the bathroom and proceeded to the kitchen to make himself a cup of coffee.
"Yeah. Tell Ley that I miss her and that I'll bring her gifts when I return."
"Don't buy anything expensive," he reminded as he sat down the couch.
"Let's see about that."
"Paul."
"Okay, fine. I'm not going to buy something pricey."
"Good."
"Oh, right. I have something to tell you later."
"What is it? Just tell me now."
"I think it's better if I say it to you in person."
"Fine. I'd like to talk something with you as well. Let's talk when you get back here."
Paul still doesn't know about his relationship with Tin because Paul had been very busy these past few weeks. And even though he had been itching to tell him that he already had a boyfriend, he still wanted to say it in person.
