* Right around the corner of the football field *   

Tinn in all his best methodical acting was trying to look as vulnerable in view of the current situation as he delicately and purposefully nursed his knuckle in clear view of Can . The sympathy points could not have been more precious at the moment with him really milking it for all it is worth . Tinn could not care less of the pain or the high possibility of it leaving an obvious scar on his porcelain hands , the situation was a dire one with him in need of any trump card he could play to his advantage being throw in . The irony was really that he had some how inflected this upon himself . He needed to buy time to convince Can to pretty much administer some tender loving care while he seduces the latter to forgo by which he was hoping Can would forget the erroneous decisions that he the jealous boyfriend had tried to bet on . If only he had the luxury of time which seems pretty slim at the moment as Can nudged him towards the general direction of the carpark.

Can's perspective :

I needed to pretty much punch myself in the stomach in an attempt to not cave into those puppy eyes that started at me adoringly as my dear abnoxious , well grown Boyfriend whimpered pitifully in an attempt to gain my sympathy . Not that it was not working , I could feel my jaws tightening to tense up every muscles In my body that was signalling the insatiable need to hold him in a tight embrace and cradle that idiot close to me despite alll that had taken place . But I knew I had to stay firm to my decision in making this therapy session work , for it was after all for the greater good . This jealousy streak was unhealthy and needed to be reeled in before anyone got seriously hurt or mentally scarred for the rest of their life, *ahem* me . I was seriously worried that I had caused that whole paparazzi fiasco and was in all but ready to fight the good fight when the mystery unravelled in the most unexpected way before me . The fact that he manipulated the situation was just not sitting right with me and I had to teach him that I do mean business . Even if I grind away all my teeth in a bid to hold myself back from falling to the floor in surrender . And this season was important for me , I needed to build my self worth in my own athletic abilities if I even wanted to consider being in this line of work . I was not interested in becoming a trophy Wife . As for P'Nic , he is just a mentor at this point of time who will help me level up my skills as a player and really nothing else . And he is not in any way interested in me I am sure ! Speaking of the devil .....

Nic jogged towards the couple and in an attempt to make it almost less intrusive, brought with him backup in the form of P'Type and P'No . The expression that the two handsome players wore on their sun kissed faces were one of understanding as they nodded in acknowledgement to receive Tinn's greetings and shook their head in exasperation at the " mess" that they do often came to recognise as the TinnCan whirlwind . The seniors , discounting Nic , whom Tinn had conveniently phased out from his line of vision was able to play referee in this informal match and convinced Tinn to rest for the afternoon and if he wanted , he was invited to join them for the bbq dinner that they were planning to have at the nearby restaurant. For they were very sure that this young master would without a doubt ,show up unannounced with or without an invite to the gathering and so they figured they might as well do so officially .

Tinn contemplated his options and accepted it with a mere nod of his head after glancing at the raised eyebrows that Can was signalling him to be cooperative . And within clear unobstructed view of all stood before them to bare witness, he gave Can a full on kiss as fiercely as the pint of stress that he was nursing in him. On one hand he wanted to play it cool , on the other not too far off spectrum , he wanted to just kidnap his property away from vultures , lock him up and throw away the keys . The kiss felt like eternity from the relatively awkward perspective of P'No and P'Type that stood there not knowing where to look . Nic on the other hand stared unabashed at the two making out in full view of him and he felt a rather alien feeling of bitterness mixed with a suffocating tension arise from the pit of his stomach to his temple . He had to tear his eyes away to prevent himself from acting immaturely or prematurely. He needed to play his cards right .

— 3 hours later —-

The brutal training was not for the faint hearted as the player found themselves at the mercy of the sun and the tactical defence gameplays that were geared to train up their reflexes and stamina .

It was no wonder that everyone collapsed in agony as soon as the last whistle was blown , signally the end of the final set that seemed endless . Ae with the last ounce of energy left in him prodded Cann who had collapsed beside him with his foot to get the albino monkey's attention . All that he was able to get from the Energizer bunny was a short and curt grunt as the latter was flat out of energy . Ae this time had to use all his will power to pull himself up to jab Can as hard as he could in the latter's rib with his hand and gestures wildly in a drunken manner that they needed to keep the equipments for the team being the junior members and all.

" You two go wash up with the rest . I will keep the stuff here no worries !" Came a melodious reply from the near vicinity as Nic flashed his charming smile that showcased his Colgate commercial worthy row of minted teeth . Can being so drained from all the physical activities and touched at the grand gesture at the most opportune time ,forget all common sense and gave a Nic a sweaty back hug .

Being relatively shorter than the mixed blood senior , Can was really aiming rather Low . This sudden onslaught of sweat and human contact made Nic jump in surprise and his hand awkwardly hovered over the shoulder of Can whom he wanted no more than to hold in this testosterone filled embrace . Can usually would be pushed away in mere seconds in revolt if it was any of the other seniors in clear irritation , but the the sudden lack of retaliation snapped him back to his senses. And quickly stepped away from Nic and looked towards Ae who was thankfully too tired to have caught the brief moment the other two had . Can with all wariness forgotten, made a beeline towards the  lockers once more leaving a puzzled looking Ae who was trying to catch up to his Friend and a rather pleased looking Nic staring at him .

*At a certain hospital ward *

Tinn felt a slight chill ran down his spine as his his dashing doctor pal administered the final few stitches to his wound , his skill being so meticulously refined that the stitches were barely visible. Tinn was feeling uncomfortable at the thought of being convinced into coming only for the dinner later and letting Can train meanwhile in peace . He did not even wince once as Pha dressed his wound which to the latter was nothing new . Pha carefully removed his gloves and mask as soon as he was done looked to his friend to check if the latter was still responsive , having rampaged into his office earlier asking for medical attention with no explanation or complaints whatsoever. Pha figured Tinn's cool demeanour at present had to do with Nic's love conquest .
