"Dad I'm not going to make it" I was in his company for a whole day trying to gain something and learn something about being CEO but I can't process it to myself. Feels like I'm not into this. I'm not absorbing anything I've seen here.

Dad calls me to his office to report to him what I have learned from staying here for one day. And that's the first phrase I've said to him.

"What do you mean?" Dad stands up from his shriveled chair.

"I'm sorry Dad, but I did everything but it's not really for me for now. To be honest, I don't know what to do in my life, I'm still looking for it Dad" I know he was highly disappointed in me but I can't blame him either he has to right to feel that way about me.

"But Tin we've talked about this right? You just have to accept it with all your heart, this is your future son" I can't believe he was simply saying those to me.

"How can you even say it was my future, even though we all know from the very start you are not being a father to me? Where are you? You and Mom? Where are you on those times I need parents to lean on whenever I'm facing a problem? You guys were here in your company, busy making it big, but you left me alone until now. But now you were saying this is my future yet you didn't even know my likes and dislikes" for all these years I've hidden this heavy thought about them I finally released it now. He went silent and hoped he is digesting what I'd said.

"I'm so sorry Tin for all of those things we didn't do as your parents but please give this shot too. I am letting you ready for your future, whether you like it or not this is your future Tin" my eyes are burning, and want to shed a tear, I thought Dad was going to be more apologetic but still insisted this to me even more.

"And you didn't want to ask me If I like it or not? I'm sorry Dad but I'm not interested to be here or being CEO"

"And you want to be one of those thugs who love beat up someone? Am I right son?" I saw Dad clenching his teeth as he look seriously at me.

"You think I didn't know that you were the leader of the thug group in the school you are attending? Is that a life you want to do? To be with those worthless people?" I throw him a glaring stare. How could he call my friends worthless?

"I don't what you are calling that, but it's true I want to be with those guys you called worthlessly, they may be worthless in your eyes but for me, they are more than family for me. Better than you who are my parents"

"Tin.."

"I'm so sorry Dad but I quit" I quickly stormed off to his office and to that building too.

I decided to pick Can up from school and maybe get to hang out with him too. I want him by my side now. I think I should unwind from the earlier incidents. When we got together inside the car, I made him mad because I call him unintentionally a wife. He look so mad whenever I called him that. It is that makes him uncomfortable, I don't want to do it.

But later on, Can give up, he was really cute and turned me on when he called me hubby.

"I want to watch a movie too," he said while scooping some ice cream into his bowl. We decide to eat at an ice cream parlor here. I insisted to eat ice cream tho. I can look at him eating for the whole day. He is really cute that I want to take him home. But I noticed the stain of the ice cream on the lower of his lip. He didn't seem to notice it because he still eating his ice cream like a child. My eyes glue at him. I'm analyzing how can I remove it to the lower of his lip. Then he looks at me smiling then he looks at the surrounding.

"Tin all their eyes especially girls from the other side are looking to us. I know I'm a little handsome but seem they like y--" I extend my hand and wipe the stain on his lips. He was startled that he was about to move away from his face but seem he can't move either. His eyes look so confused but still, I'm wearing a smile. After removing it, I suck my finger that I've used to wipe his lips and taste it.

"Tin.." I look seductively at him.

"I'm more interested in it than in this ice cream. It tastes better" then lick my lips. I saw him gulping and his eyes looking scared or is it me?

"What are you saying?" he look away from me, and his cheek became red as a tomato. I wanna squeeze it.

After we ate ice cream at the ice cream parlor we walk down to the mall not minding any other people our hands are intertwined. I'm expecting he would feel uncomfortable holding my hands in a public place that I'm going to understand but I feel so extra special because he didn't bother and acted so naturally like we are doing things so normally. I can't help but look at our hands together. His soft and small hand fit so well into my hand. I couldn't explain anything but I feel so happy with him.

"Dae?" suddenly Can stops walking and look at what he is looking at. I've seen her, the girl I used to date nah I don't know if we dating or not. But it's in my past, I'm not Tin they used to know. My heart ripped when he slowly let go of my hand.

I saw Dae waving to us, to me. or to Can? She came forward to us, and I'm expecting a warm welcome from her. She only smiles at Can who hiding his both hands to the back and looks so nervous.

"Can!!!" she looked at me so quickly and gave Can attention again.

"What are you doing here?" Can be absurdly asking Dae. Like what the heck he would ask like obviously Dae had paper bags of school supplies she might come from a bookstore or school supply store.

"I bought some materials for our project. And you?? With him???" she gives me a confusing look. She might didn't know what was real between Can and me.

"Ahh eh??" I'm expecting a good excuse or is he will go to admit everything about us?

"We just happen to run each other here hehe, I came here to buy some materials too hehe" Damn.

I crossed my arms and my eyes got heavier. Did he really dump me? Or ashamed?? What else could be it called? I don't like it. I feel hurt and neglected.

"Haha, I thought you guys are hanging out now, as far as I remember you guys are mortal enemies" how could she talk so casually like we have something from the past? What am I thinking, she changed what else I'm expecting?

"No." damn Can. After hearing that disappointing response from him. I walked out. My mood was ruined. Where the hell Dae came from? She just appeared nowhere? But I'm more disappointed with Can.

What the fuck did I do? Tin just went without my notice. Oh shit, this is my fault for fucking sake. I panicked when I saw Dae, I don't know what to do either so I end up acting so stupid. How can I make it up to Tin?? I keep sending line messages to Tin since he left but he didn't either read my message tho. I'm now paranoid about Tin.

"Hey, Can are you still on Earth?" I looked up at Dae who is now looking suspiciously at me. She looks at my phone.

"Who was that?" now she was damn curious now. I put my phone into my pocket.

"Good" I lied.

"Ah.. you didn't seem at yourself are you okay??" this is so wrong.

Today is our supposedly first hang-out as boyfriends but I ended up ruining and spoiling our moments together. I have to talk to him. Dae's paper bag that I insist to carry earlier now I'm giving it back to her. She didn't understand anything but she took it.

"I'm sorry Dae" then I ran away from her. I want to say sorry to Tin. I broke my promise to him that I will be a great boyfriend to him but what did I do? I fucking disown him in front of him. Right in front of his salad.
