HOW TO FALL INLOVE [TINCAN AU]

CHAPTER 9 : APARTMENT

Suddenly, Techno's phone rang. Kengkla was calling.

"Wait a sec, I need to get this... Boyfriend's calling." Techno told Can.

"Hey babe, what's up?" Techno talked over the phone.

"I just wanna make sure you got home safe," Kengkla said on the other line.

"Uhm, I'm not yet home. I'm here at my brother's penthouse." Techno replied.

"I see. Okay, text me when you get home later." Kengkla said. "Tin's still not home. He doesn't have work I was wondering where he might have been to."

"Hey, he's not a child. Maybe he's just wandering around. Or maybe he went out with friends from school, for all we know. Don't worry about him too much." Techno answered.

"By the way, I have already talked to my brother about the job for him. He said yes. He just needs to pass his resume to the restaurant."

"That's a piece of good news, babe. Thanks for doing this for P'Tin." Kengkla said.

"It's the least I could do," Techno replied. "Also my brother invited us to his engagement party next week. The three of us. A little party would be good for him, right?"

"I think so," Kengkla replied.

"You should be sleeping now, you have a class early tomorrow morning. I'll text you later when I get home. I promise." Techno said. "And stop worrying too much, okay? I love you! "

"I love you more. Goodnight." Kengkla replied on the other line before hanging up.

"So, where were we again?" Techno asked Can. "Sorry, Kengkla was just worried."

"I have heard," Can replied. "You're lucky to have him, Techno."

"He's lucky to have me." Techno chuckled.

"I'm so tipsy... I have to shower this off." Can said as he stood up his seat. "You can finish the bottle if you want."

"Hah! Since when did you become alcohol weak?" Techno teased.

"I've had a whole bottle to myself before you even came, you twat!" Can replied.

"Whatever." Techno said. "I better get going then. It was a good talk, brother."

"Yeah, it was." Can tapped Techno's shoulder, but Techno pulled him into a hug. Can reciprocated.

"We should do this often," Techno said.

"Yeah... Of course..." Can replied.

"I'll go ahead," Techno said as he walked towards the door.

"Hey bro..." Can said before Techno could go out. "What if I am already in love with someone else? What if I no longer wanna be engaged with Rina?"

Techno could see the worrying conflicted emotions in Can's eyes. He was suffering deep within.
