It's the last day of ten's stay in Chicago and it's also probably his last meeting with Johnny.

the two of the. used to run into each other nearly every day in the past few days so they decided to meet up together for johnny to show ten some parts of Chicago before he leaves.

the thai has searched for an outfit that might fit.

In the end, ten wore an oversized white shirt with light blue jeans and black vans.

Fortunately, his father was at another meeting so that he won't be asking ten out where he's about to go.

ten left the building where Johnny was already waiting for him.

"So, you're finally here! 5 minutes late." he had his common smile on his lips.

"Don't be so strict. Be happy I appeared at all."

"Okay true, wanna go?"

Johnny wanted to grab his hand, but ten whipped it away before he could touch his hand.

ten usually like that kind of affection, but this fellow American next to him has a girlfriend AND barely knows the young thai next to him.

despite of not liking johnny touching him, ten's heart started beating faster when their shoulders touched each other.

johnny didn't say anything about it, but his facial expression said everything.

confusion and a little bit of pain.

they kept on walking till they got to a beautiful dark grey Mercedes GLE on a parking lot.

"Is this your car?" ten asked him amazed and looked at it with big eyes.

"Yes! My parents bought it for my 16th birthday." The older said and got inside.

ten did the same. The car was surprisingly very clean.

"Where are we going to go?" the younger asked him after he started the engine.

"I thought of showing you the nearest west, northwest and north part." the thai boylooked at him surprised.

'He cannot be serious. Does he want to kill me? He wants to walk god knows how many miles in August?' ten thought and he turned pale.

"Isn't it a little bit too much? I mean, I needed 3 days to visit Chinatown, near south side, south loop and the center." ten tried to hide the fear as good as he can.

"Since it's 11am and hopefully we both are free today, we have a lot of time," Johnny answered in an expressionless voice what made the younger a little bit mad for some reason.

"Fine... where will we start?"

"It's a surprise." a slight smile was visible on his lips. ten really wanted to punch him.

"John? Where are we?" ten asked him after they got out of the car in front of a small villa.

"This, Ten, is the Heart of Chicago. An area of Lower West Side." he put on the glasses the younger already spotted in the car and locked the car.

"Come on, we have a lot of areas to visit." the older now managed to grab his hand and started sprinting energetically with ten in tow.

they kept on running till the houses were thinning.

both of them didn't say anything for a long time, they just enjoyed the beauty of Chicago.

"Actually, where are you from, Johnny?" ten asked when they entered Addams/ Medill Park in Little Italy.

"Uptown, but we won't go that far."

All those hours of walking through some areas of Chicago passed like minutes.

they were talking about a lot of random things, laughed a lot and ten never felt that connected to someone as he felt to Johnny. It was magical.

they went to some kind of burger restaurant after they already visited everything John planned.

"So, you're saying you never ate an actual burger? What kind of monster is terrorizing you?" johnny looked at ten with huge eyes.

ten never ate at any fast food restaurant and if he ask his father if we could eat pizza or burger or anything, he made our chef cook a healthy alternative like a vegetarian, low-carb burger. It didn't taste very good... after eating this, he usually vomited it out before getting a food poisoning.

"What do you think? Of course, it's my father!" they laughed at it, but deep inside anger boiled up in ten. he hates his father too much.

Minutes later the waiter brought them their burgers and they started eating happily.

"This burger is for real the bestー"

"Ten?"
