Three Wishes [TinCan]

Chapter 9: Final Wish

Can was woken up by the smell of something burning. He opened his eyes and turned to tell Tin that his house were burning. He frowned when he realized that Tin was not in the room.

He climbed down the bed and made his way out of the room. He located the source of burning smell which originated from the kitchen. He enter the kitchen and saw Tin busy battling with a pan on the stove, spatula on his hand.

"Arghhh why is this happening? Oh no, it burned again!" Tin's frantic voice filled the kitchen.

"Ai'Tin, what happened here?" Can asked.

Tin turned around to face Tin. He was sweating a bit on the forehead, causing his bangs to stuck on his face and there was batter on his face.

"Oh Ai'Can, you are awake. I am making breakfast."

Can came closer to see what Tin was cooking. The pancake was basically turned into charcoal.

Tin winced.

"I'm not used to cooking. I tried to toast some bread earlier." Tin said, nodding to a stack of burnt bread.

"How is it possible to burn them when you are using a toaster?" Can gawked at Tin.

Tin shrugged.

Can sighed and scratched his head.

"I cannot cook too but I think soft-boiled eggs are impossible to screw up, na?"

Can took the reign and started to make some soft-boiled eggs. He examined the toaster and found up the settings was way to high. He adjusted the toaster and began to toast some breads.

"Can you make some coffee, Tin?"

Tin nodded and set to do the task. He turn on the coffee machine and cleaned up the mess he made before.

Can was in front of the fridge to get some butter when Tin came behind him and stretched his arm to store the milk. Can's stomach suddenly become home for thousands of butterflies, flapping their wings wildly. Tin moved away after putting milk but Can stood there frozen, heart racing like crazy.

"Are you okay, Can? You're in front of fridge for a long time." Tin asked.

"Umm yes. I'm quite hot. I'm standing here to cool myself." Can flustered and started to move again.

They had their breakfast together and Can went home after that.

Something is wrong with Tin.

Can barely saw his friend these day. It's been almost a week since he last talked to Tin and that was when he hung out at the guy's house.

He whipped out his phone at began to text Tin.

He waited for Tin to reply but it seems there were no response from the other boy. Can sent more text messages but this time to Pete instead of Tin.
