Raging Darkness [TinCan]

Two: He's back

"Here's the champagne you asked for Sir."

Tin was busy fiddling with his phone when the smiling Flight attendant came and handed him the drink he ordered just minutes ago.

He took the glass and cooly thanked the girl. Showing his perfect white porcelain teeth and heart melting smile in the process.

The Flight attendant who is now a giggling mess, went back to the Plane's kitchen looking like a lovesick puppy who got petted by its owner.

The girl looks familiar. She's probably one of those women who's been eyeing him even before his flight took off.

Tin sighed and  took his phone. He tried wiring the payment for the champagne but to his surprise, the drink was already paid.

"Tsk." Tin shrugged. He bit the side of his cheek while he slid his phone back to his jeans pocket.

He does that when he feels uncomfortable and would like to do something but couldn't.

These kind of things are actually normal for him. His face really does attract gullible people.

He shook his head and opened the plane window in front of him. He's flying economy class, back to the place he thought he never wanted to set foot into ever again.

But guess what? here he is. Sipping his free drink and enjoying the morning sunlight of Thailand.

Ringing

"Pete."

Tin picked up his phone. He's already at the receiving area of Bankok's international Airport. He wore his sunglasses as he strode towards the exit.

Girls giggling at the corner of his vision.

"Tin!" Pete sounds like he just came out of his car. He can hear vehicles bustling around. Perhaps he's still at the parking lot. "Sorry It's hard to find a free space! Where are you now?"

"At the Exit." Answered Tin, who is now pulling his sleeves up his elbow. "It's so hot! Get here quick."

"Okay Mr. Bossy! You never change--ah! There you are!"

Pete came running to him the moment he saw the man in his sunglasses near the Airport's exit. He hugged the man tight. A gesture Pete, his brother, always does.

"I told you. Stop doing that!"

"Awee! I miss you too brother!"

"Ugh..take this!"

Tin threw his luggage into his White giggling brother. Sometimes, Pete's happy aura annoys him. He's just..too happy.

"So why?" Pete is now driving when he popped the comfortable silence between them.

Tin raised a brow. "Why what?"

"Oh c'mon stop dodging questions! I asked you this so many times over the phone yet you never bothered to tell me!"

Tin knew exactly what Pete meant. His brother wants to ask the purpose of him, coming back to Thailand.

Tin shrugged. "Why not?"

"Why not? Really? I've asked you billions of times to come back here over the past 4 years and you never budged! Why the sudden change of mind?" Pete is getting worked up. It's clear with his perked up brow and his scoffs.

"Stop it. You'll never get anything from me."

"Tsk. Right." Pete sulked.

Tin ignored Pete. He knows for sure that soon enough, he'll just forget about it and return to the ball of sunshine Pete really is.

He then took out his phone and messaged someone. His slender fingers pressing through the keypads.

'Yeah.. I'm going.'

'Great! See you later Medthanan!'

'Ooops! I mean.. Phiravich!'

Pete glanced at his brother every now and then, the whole car ride.

He's really curious as to why Tin-- his brother who swore to never set foot ever again to Thailand, is now here in front of him.

It's just..really confusing for him.

He knows Tin.Very very well. They grew up together after all. Attended the same school and was basically twins- despite Pete being a year older. (Tin was an advanced student)

Pete knows well that whenever his brother sets his mind on something, he'll never change his mind.

So whatever it is that changed his mind into going back to bangkok again, It must be big.

Pete had tried spying his brother through investigators when he was away in London.

Don't get him wrong-hes just really worried of his brother. That's why he did that.

Doesn't really matter anyway... coz everyone.. Everyone he hired was never able to report back to him! Strange!

He glanced once again to Tin who is now relaxed on his chair, massaging his temples.

"Mom and Dad's not home-"

"I know."

With that, he finally gave up. Petedecided to just shut up and focus on driving.

'Ever since that incident, he was never the same Tin anymore...'
