If one said Jintan was like a train conductor they would not be that wrong.
Jintan saw himself as the "conductor" of his "caboose". He had to be strong for them because if he wasn't everything would be chaotic.
He liked order. Even if he wasn't that organized himself.
So that's why when his mom was in the hospital he had to keep a straight face. He felt he needed to prove to his friends that he could tackle anything that was thrown at them.
So when everything started falling apart, he distanced himself from the rest of them.
He didn't want them to see their leader in a turmoil and lose faith in him.
He hoped that if he kept a distance, his friends would continue to believe in him.
Too bad life doesn't like to follow accordingly.
A/N: I was going to upload this yesterday, but Southern California/part of Arizona got a huge black out. (My power was off for almost 12 hours).
It's short and sorta sweet? I dunno. I'm also not that fond of it.
