"Can you have not touched your food..." Lemon says.

"I'm not very hungry." I say while I pick the food with the fork which made everyone look at me dumbfounded."What?"

"You're not hungry? You're hungry all the time!" Said Techno.

"Is he still sick?" Pete asks.

"The doctor said he was fine." Answers Ae.

"I'm just not hungry, it's just that. I don't feel sick." I answer that sounded like I'm angry about something. "I'm going...I'll see you at the cabin."

"Can!" My sister shouts from behind but I ignored her.

I know that I am being a fool to part with my friends now, especially when it's already the fourth day of camping and I should have just enjoy it to the fullest with them.

However, there is something that has tormented me since yesterday, since I woke up...

The images took a few hours to reach me, I remember jumping on the wood to make fun of Tin and then...water, water everywhere. I couldn't breathe, I couldn't swim, and my body immediately went cold.

Then his voice, he was screaming my name, calling me, well that may have actually be my imagination, I don't think he was so desperate to help me.

My sister said he applied CPR on time, I don't know what that is, maybe I should look it up...

I took my cell phone, which luckily I did not take to the lake yesterday because I would have lost it if I did, I search on Google "CPR", a video on how to apply it appears as the main suggestion, I clicked and watched it.

As the video passes, I see how a person lying down is pressed on the chest by the hands of another person, he does it many times, then he approaches his head it is as if he is trying to feel something, he looks at him and lifts his chin.

What happens next leaves me blank, the man joins his mouth with the other man's while covering his nose...and repeated that process five times.

Five times.

Five times that Tin kissed me.

Damn, not only did he took my first kiss, he took the next four as well...what am I going to do now?

He is also very strange, at first I thought he was dreaming and that is why his attitude was different, but in the end it turned out that it was not a dream.

That Tin is the real Tin, and he was sleeping next to me...

The appropriate thing would be to thank him but I do not want to see him again, if I avoided him during today and tomorrow then I know that I will definitely not cross him again at the university.

Yes, I must do that.

I walk through the playground and see that everyone is doing something or enjoying with their friends. I see Good in the distance playing with his portable PS that maybe he can lend it to me.

I advance towards him until a girl crosses my side, I look at her hands and see a letter in it. I don't know why I follow her with my eyes, perhaps because I feel that I have already seen this scene somewhere.

The girl walks happily, almost jumping until she reaches...Tin.

Hell, he's here.

I'm about to run away from here not until I realized that he has not noticed me as he is reading a book while sitting in a tree.

I see how the girl says a few words and then extends her letter at Tin, who, on the other hand, is still reading the book without even looking at her.

After a while, he seems to say something that I don't really understood, but is enough for the girl to start crying while running off with her letter still in her hand.

The murmurs of people next to me begin to begin louder.

"He's the Ice King right?"

"Yes, he always does the same."

"So many broken hearts dedicated to a person who is sadly, without one."

Tin always rejected all the women who have approached him, with them all ended up crying, the version of this Tin is very different from the one who hugged me and smiled at me yesterday.

At that moment, Tin looks up and meet my gaze.

Hell, he saw me.

But I'm sure that he is not going to do anything, he does not have to do anything as we really do not have any kind of relationship that unites us.

Seems like my luck was really used up when he gets up with his eyes still fixed on me because I instantly know that he will approach me...

I turn around immediately and get out of the field as fast as I can.

I have run so much that without realizing it, I already arrived around the lake, the same place where the accident occurred.

I look behind me and saw that there is no one around, I think I lost him...

There is a security tape on the wooden path that prohibits us from passing through, I can't help but feel sad that I can't see my friends anymore...but maybe I can get closer to them a little and say goodbye.

I approach the road, passing the tape and floor and check if it is firm enough. I bend down and try to see my friends but they are not there.

I walk a little more towards the tip, I think I see one bobbing his...

"What are you doing?"

Fuck, someone saw me.

"Sorry, I...Tin?"

I thought I had left him behind...

He comes to me in a fury and I am paralyzed...maybe he is going to hit me?

Tin breaks the security tape and passed through it then lifted my body, almost as if I weigh nothing.

"Whaa...what are you doing? Lower me!" I yelled at him as I move around, when I get to the land, we both fall to the ground.

His lips almost brushing mine...

It seems like an eternity but I finally sneak out of him, crawling in the mud, as Tin gets up, his clothes are a bit messy and he's surely going to yell at me for that.

"What were you doing here? Didn't you have enough with what happened to you the other time?" He asked angrily but it is also as if he is worried about me.

I lower my head while his arms hold my shoulder. "You never really learn, do you?"

"Sorry..." I replied softly.

"And why did you run when you saw me?"

Why is he asking too many questions? I don't understand, I thought he didn't like when I talk so much, that he didn't like my voice and I really thought he wasn't going to follow me...

"I...ran because there was a bee." I say without looking him in the eye.

"You lie."

"It's true..." Why am I again never good at telling lies?

"Then why don't you look me in the eye when you speak?"

Because seeing you and having you so close makes me feel weird inside...

***

Can, he...acts weird. Actually, this whole environment is weird.

What am I doing?

Why did I follow him? It made me so angry when I saw him run from me.

He was running away from me, after I saved him, after I took care of him, after I...kissed him.

Why does he suddenly affect me so much? It was a game, kissing him was a game to laugh at him.

"I don't look at you because I don't want to!" He yells with his head looking at the ground.

I feel a sharp pain in my chest.

"Look at me." I'm practically ordering it to him.

"No."

"Can."

"I said no!" He yells so I grab his chin and lift it against his will.

My heart skips a beat when I see him, his eyes sparkle and his cheeks are rosy.

I release him when I feel the feeling in my chest get stronger.

"Why are you bothering me? Leave me alone! You've already had enough of me, what do you want more?"

What the hell is this silly boy talking about?

"What are you saying? I saved you! You could be more grateful!"

"You are not interested in my thanks, you just want to make fun of me! But you know what? I don't care that you've kissed me a lot of times! I don't care!" He says with what I suppose is his face of fury.

Is he seriously finally going crazy?

My grip on him doesn't loosen, instead, I put more pressure on his shoulders but without causing him pain, I just don't want him to run away.

Can stiffen when he sees me slowly approaching him.

"If you want, I can return them to you..." I whispered in his ear.

"N...No, I don't want to." His voice trembles as his cheeks' flushing get more intense.

"Are you sure?" I asked, getting even closer to him.

A slight nod is all what I received from him.

"Very well, then I'll keep your kisses." He lifts his head and I have to try to control myself to not fall for his cuteness.

Hell, why does he have to see me like this?

"I do not care..."

An evil smile dazzles the corner of my mouth.

"Well, then I suppose one more won't hurt, right?"

I took his beautiful cheeks and without giving time to think, I kissed him, ignoring his struggle, his kicks and his arms wanting to pull away.

The multiple sensations that I feel run through my body forced me to kiss him fiercely and demanding.

I entered my tongue to encompass everything inside his mouth and begin to caress his face, his cheeks feeling hot in my hands.

He can deny it all he wants but I know that he enjoys this as much as I do.

A pain in my lower lip and the taste of iron alerted me so I pulled away.

"What...?"

I touched my lips, blood.

"Damn idiot!" Can yells and runs off, I don't even have time to follow him.

Can bit me. He bit my lips, a barking dog does not bite they say, but with Can, you never know what to expect.

"Ahh! What the hell am I doing? Why can't I just keep my tongue out of him?"

I squeeze my head trying to clarify myself, fix my ideas...Can is no different from other people, he is stupid, he speaks without thinking and his IQ must be lower than that of a five-year-old boy.

So why can't I help it?

It's this damn camp, being surrounded by idiots makes me one of them.

There is only tomorrow and I will have rid myself of the plague, of his strange comments, of his dirty appearance and his shrill voice.

After all of this I'll be me again...yes, I just need to get away far enough from him to go back to being me and only me.
