Flamingo and he were comrades-in-arms, brothers who could trust each other with their lives. They had served together in the same unit, bunking in the upper and lower beds. Later, they both joined the special forces, becoming commandos. They faced life and death side by side, battling enemies together—truly brothers in arms. When it was time for him to leave the military, no one saw him off except for Flamingo and a few brothers who sneaked over to bid him farewell.
This morning, before coming to the Tan Family, the phone call he made was to Flamingo, asking for his help. He had thought that after so many years, Flamingo might refuse him, but to his surprise, Flamingo agreed without a second thought after receiving his message.
This was the true essence of brotherhood. There was no need to stay in touch all the time, no need for social gatherings, but when you truly needed a brother, he would appear before you without hesitation.
