TinnCan - Miss Me By A Mile 1/3

'O Greatful Deity. Please have mercy on me. Let me meet Tinn even just a second!' Can heart is thumping very loudly.

No one would ever know how those short pair of legs manage to run that fast. "Ai Tinn, please wait!" Can shouts into the sky while continue to speed on his steps. He's lucky Pete actually dropped him off near Tinn's apartment already.

"I dont't know what happened between you two, but Can.. Tinn have been absence from class this whole week."

Can raised forward from his position and steadies himself with a hand on the arm of the sofa, whole body stiff. His other hand holding the phone feel clammy out of sudden.

"What you mean he have been missing? Ain't Ai Tinn already fly to Paris last month?" Can ask, guilt twisting his gut into a knot.

Pete bark a soft ridiculous laughs. "Ao... What do you mean, Can? Ai Tinn have been going to class with me this earlier month though. Well, until last week. He somehow didn't LINE me anymore bout wanting to ride bus to college together."

"He rode bus with you???"

"Yes, Can." Pete chuckles from the other side of the phone call. "He told me he gave away his car back to the Maysanant mension. Said that he like using the public transport more nowdays."

'This is fun! Next time let's ride the bus together again na kub.'

Can still remember how blinding Tinn smiles that day. He definitely sweating bullets after the ride. But still pretending it's all okay and didnt even let go Can's hand in his, the whole ride.

"Ai Pete. What should I do? I-I...! I need to meet him!" Can pleads. His voice is tittering on the verge of crying.

"I know where he live. I can drive you there."

"Really?!" Can sniff. He's so happy! Ai Pete is such a God sent.

"And Can. I assume you haven't being informed about it.."

That dreading vibe Can feels in his stomach is coming back even worst by every words Ai Pete muttered.

"-..but Ai Tinn didn't take the live-at-Paris offer, Can. He very much will stay here until we all graduate."

Can had his forefinger hovering upon the ring bell button. He's hesitating to even push it.

Until he heard an awful glassy crashes sound. And all that he know his concience become highly alert. Hand twisting the knob pushing the door open until he saw him.

Lying on the floor. Being surrounded by shard of glasses. Pale and bleeding.

"AI TINN!!!"
