As the three were having a lively chat while eating, Tin was slowly walking downstairs.

Earlier when he woke up, Tin panicked when he did not see Can by his side. Even though he was still unwell, he quickly jumped out of the bed to look for him. 

After getting out of the room, he then realized that Can was having his first breakfast with his family for a very long time. It was then Tin calmed himself as he decided to approach them.

With every step that he took downstairs, he could hear the genuine laughter and love of the family that he desired to be part of. He truly missed it.

After reaching the first floor, he looked down at the blue patient gown that he was wearing. He thought that it was not appropriate to show up like this.

With a wave of his hand, his attire changed in an instant. He now wore an elegant black suit and black shoes. He thought that this should be appropriate enough to wear. Whether it was too extravagant or not, he did not think too much about it, since it was better to wear a black suit than a hospital gown.

When he was approaching the kitchen where the Rathavit family was eating breakfast, Tin hesitated. He realized that he was a fugitive. Everyone knew about this.

Thinking about this, Tin did not want to ruin Can's family's reunion even if he wanted to join them.

As he turned around to return to Can's bedroom to wait for him, his footsteps due to his shoes were heard.

Hearing it, Ley was the first one to react, "Is that Tin?"

Not waiting for Can to reply, she immediately came out of the kitchen to look for Tin. Seeing that Tin was about to go upstairs with a subtle unhappy expression on his face, Ley approached him.

"Huh? wait, Ley!" Can said in a surprised tone as he stood up from his seat and followed his sister.

"Ley! Can! Where are you going?" Mrs. Rathavit asked with confusion.

Their mother did not move from her seat while she continued chewing on the hot pocket on her hand.

"Tin, why are you going upstairs? Join us for breakfast," Ley said with enthusiasm as she was mesmerized by the black suit that he was wearing although the missing left arm was odd to look at.

Tin saw Ley looking at his left arm with a dispirited look. He then thought that Ley must have known that he was here last night. He had no recollection of what happened that night, but he knew Can was there to take care of him since he felt way better afterwards.

"I don't want to disturb your breakfast. I know that this is a precious moment for your family. I'm only an outsider," Tin said. Those words he uttered hurt him, but it was the truth.

"Who said you're an outsider?" Can said as he gazed at the man wearing a black suit.

"Can..?" Tin whispered as he looked back at the male youth. His eyes widened in surprise. He still could not believe that Can was still alive and well. Seeing the person whom he desired so much, no one could not imagine how much Tin would like to just take Can away and keep him to himself. Unfortunately, he could not convey these feelings with his family around.

"Yeah. yeah. That's right! Aren't you part of our family already? I mean...you and Can have done it right?" Ley said happily as she tugged Tin towards the kitchen.

Both Can and Tin were confused. What does she mean by "They have done it?"

Still, Tin continued to protest.

"Aren't you afraid? I'm a fugitive?" Tin interrupted.

"A fugitive?" Can asked. How did Tin become a fugitive?
