🔸Chap 38 🔸

Have you ever felt, you're body weighing you down so much that you feel tired even to blink?

Have you ever worked up yourself so much that you're up all night thinking?

Have you ever wondered how a moment could change in a second,  and so does your trust in that very moment?

Did you ever trust someone more than you trust yourself and now you're so confused if you saw them in the right light?

Have you ever felt you were finally experiencing how being in love felt like but the next moment the feeling is sucked out of you?

Those were the exact thoughts running in Can's mind. He didn't know who to trust anymore. Last time the same thing happened with Lisa, Tin did tell him about his family's pressure but he didn't know anymore. He kinda felt humiliated yesterday night at the party. He was more hurt for Tin yelling at him rather than the woman who was angry at him. And then there is Tin's father having a lot of expectations for his son. How was he gonna feel when he comes to know that his son was dating Can?

Any parent would want their son, who is basically the CEO of one of the most successful gaming company in the country to date another successful woman. Can didn't fit into any of those categories. He knew that. He barely knew about Tin, he never even opened up about his past or childhood like the way Can did. He never shared his problems. That's not how a relationship works does it?

How was Can supposed to even present himself in front of Tin's parents one day?
Hello, I'm can. I'm short and cute.

That's it? 

Can felt utterly disturbed. His mind was like a litter, all over the space. There was a point where he was just so tired, he fell asleep without a care in the world. The moment he woke up, it was already noon and it was late for work.

Work

What was he gonna do about that? He looked at his cell phone and for the first time in many days, there was no 'good night' text from Tin. It was their tradition. This was falling apart. Can breathed to calm down. He came to a conclusion. They had a couple of beautiful months together, but everything has an end. Maybe they were just not meant to be.   Just thinking about Tin being a disappointment to his parents because of him gave him anxiety. He didn't want to live with anxiety.

He decided to put an end to it.

****

It took Can more than 20 minutes to get ready and leave the house. Both His mother and sister noticed his gloomy mood, he brushed it off and took a bus to the office. Usually Tin would pick him up everyday in the morning but today it was already noon. When he reached the office, his colleagues asked him why he was late on the way to Tin's office, he just made up an excuse.

Can took in huge a breath before entering his office. When he opened the door he saw Tin seated on his usual chair, looking at his phone. But Can was not aware of the fact that Tin was actually looking at their picture. The picture they took at the beach one day. Tin was dressed in his usual office attire but his hair was a little more messed up than usual. Can cleared his throat and that gained Tin's attention, he immediately stood up with an eager expression initially but got back to his usual poker face the next minute.

"You're late.." Tin said monotonously.

Can replied, a little rider than he meant to "I overslept". Can looked restless, his hair was a mess, and  he had dark bags under his eyes.

Both remained silent for almost a minute simply starting and out of words. Can was deep in his thought but Tin had a question to ask.
