"Can?"
Sandy sat beside him.

They are at the third floor of the University's library which was an open area.

The library has four floors.

The first floor is the punch in area for all the books you need to return or borrow, where school related references are available, computers and studying area, elevator plus the entrance and exit.

The second is where books regardless of what subject, fiction or not are available at each stand, which you can read if you have free time.

The third is just a sitting area with open ventilation, a snack bar but minimal noise is to be observed as it is used as a reading area too.

The fourth is the library's storage and lounge area for the University staff.

Can did not move an inch even if Sandy shook his shoulder.

His face was plastered on the table as he dozed off for a little.

It has been a month since Tin and him last talked.... and last saw each other.

He fell asleep when they arrived home.

When he woke up..

Tin was no longer there.

Some of his clothes and things were missing too.

He just saw a note..

"I'm sorry, I didn't wake you.."
"I have to move out. "
"I'll visit you once I can.."

Can didn't call Tin.
Tin did send a message telling him he had to move in with his mother and that is the main reason he needs to move out.. and Can wanted to believe him..

But, he knows better.

Can didn't respond..
Or at least, he wanted to do an attempt..

But, he lost all courage to do so.

He then received a call from his mom that day.
Of course, he never told her anything.

Alyssa said she received a call from Tin.

Tin's mom bought a place a long time ago..
Which was used  for rentals only.
It was a two bedroom loft.

Tin had known about her mom's place all along..

But, he decided to stay with Can to get to know him more..

Knowing that information just added salt to Can's wounds... Tin really had sacrificed so much for him.

Now Tin's mom decided to extend her stay..

So Tin had chosen to stay with her..

Can didn't go to school that day.

He was devastated.

And every time he closed his eyes..

Images of Tin and their time haunted him.

Sandy came to visit him the next day..

He confided eveything to her..

She felt really sad for them..

And in turn, Sandy stayed overnight.

He cried all day and she sat there listening then comforted him.

When Can felt a little better.

Sandy decided to speak her mind..

Can couldn't help but admire his friend..
