After a possible infection is reported on a flight from Bangkok to Ho-Chi-Minh-City, everyone on the flight gets quarantined in a nearby hotel for two weeks. Tin Medthanan is livid to learn that he will have to share to room with another male passenger, because his company had booked the flight so late that he had to fly Economy class. His roommate turns out to be a an annoyingly loud gaming streamer, who is constantly talking to either his viewers or his friends and family. But as the days progress, can he keep up his pride, and his prejudice against his roommate? And is Can really just feeling self-conscious about himself, faced with the fact that Tin seems so perfect? This is the TinCan quarantine fic nobody (not true, many people have) asked for.

When a grieving Can promised to his dead sister that he would do his best to be a good son to their parents now, and take over Lemon's duties to the family, he certainly hadn't expected it to mean getting married to her fiancé, as well. Before Tin's birth, the Medthanan family received a prophecy that stated that the survival of the next generation of the Medthanan Real Estate Group would depend on a bond of marriage between Tin and a child of their then-young secretary. When that family's only daughter dies, they would do anything to still fulfill the prophecy - even let their son get married to another boy. This is a basically a lot of pointless angst - a grieving Can, Tin acting cold for all the wrong reasons, and then Can staring down the Medthanans, starting with Tin.

Tin's brother Tul has won the power struggle between them, and an utterly disgraced Tin is barely making ends meet while working several jobs in the gig economy. So far, every time he has applied for a more stable job, Tul has made sure to get him fired. But if Pete thinks this assistant job might be different, what does he have to lose? A short story in an alternate universe, where Tin has fallen from grace, while Can is a recently retired football megastar, who returns to Thailand as the CEO of his own brand, and with a big secret of his own. Also, Ae is the best friend, ever.
