“What do you mean?”

“I may be rich, and may look happy, but it's all fake. My parents are rarely home because of business, and I thought that as I grew up I'd get use to it, but I didn't I got more lonely.”

“Don't tell me, your everyday smile were fake.”

He looks at Gui Gui, “I don't want other people to worry about me, so all I can do is smile.”

“Can I ask when was the last time you saw your parents?”

“The last time?...I'm not sure...maybe two years ago.”

Gui Gui felt tears coming out of her eyes as she looks at Aaron.

“Don't look at me like that” he laughs at her as he wipes away the fallen tears.

Gui Gui slowly lean towards him and hugs him.

“Aaron, it's okay to cry, it's okay to be angry, I want you to show me your true self.”

Aaron smiled and wraps his arms around her waist.

“I got it.”

“I too won't hide my true self from you.”

Aaron leans his head onto her shoulder and closes his eyes.

“Thank you.”

“Ah!” Gui Gui said and pulls away from him.

“What's wrong?” he looks at her surprised and confused.

“Who's your first?”

“Me?”

Gui Gui nodded.

“My second love” he replied.

“Oh~ so it's not me?” she said regret asking.

“Of course it's you” Aaron smiled and pinched her cheeks.

“Ahhhhh~ it hurts” she said looking at him.

“You're my second love dummy” he said and lets go of her cheeks.

“Then who's your first?” Gui Gui ask as she rubs her cheeks with her hands.

“Like you, my first love was in elementary.”

“Oh~” she said and then smiled happily hearing his explanation.

“Why are you so happy?” he looks at her confused.

“Same reason why you're happy.”

It was about noon when they went to check out.

“Wang Zi must be really mad by now” Gui Gui sigh as they walk out of the hotel holding hands.

“Why?”

“He's in charge of taking care of me for the time being...well then, let's go” Gui Gui said and leads the way.

Aaron obediently followed her, but he honestly didn't want to leave, because leaving means that they'll have to separate, and the separation time is unknown, it can be a few days, a few weeks or even a few years., but he didn't have the courage to stope her. Looking at her back he looks down at their locked hands and grip her hand tighter.

Gui Gui felt it and turns back to look at him.

“What's wrong?” she ask her.

“Nothing, I just don't want to loose you in this crowd,” he told her.

Gui Gui smiled and grips his hand tighter too. Then she turns back around.

They took the bus back to Taipei and at the bus station they met Wang Zi and Ya Tou.

“Gui Gui are you okay?” Ya Tou asked worriedly.

“I'm perfectly fine!” Gui Gui smiled at Ya Tou and Wang Zi.

But Wang Zi didn't look at her, he looked at Aaron angrily.

“What are you doing?” Gui Gui said quickly as she blocks Wang Zi from grabbing Aaron's shirt.

“Let's head back” Wang Zi said and grabs Gui Gui's hand as he still was starring at Aaron who's looking at him too.

Aaron grabs onto Gui Gui's other hand.

“You don't have to force her, she can go on her own” Aaron told Wang Zi.

“Let go of her hand while I’m being nice to you” Wang Zi said coldly to Aaron.

Gui Gui turns to look at Aaron and smiled at him.

“It's okay” she assures him and he lets go of her hand.

Just when he did Wang Zi pulls Gui Gui away to the car.

“I apologize on Wang Zi's behalf” Ya Tou said to Aaron.

“It's alright” Aaron smiled at her.

Ya Tou smiled back, “And don't worry, I’ll make sure that Gui Gui safe” Ya Tou said quickly and ran after Wang Zi and Gui Gui.

Aaron watched as Wang Zi pushed Gui Gui into the car, as he watches he felt his heart becomes heavy.

“Aaron” he heard Chun called his name.

Aaron turns around and saw the trios.

“How did you know I’m here?” Aaron said confused.

“That high pitch girl told us to come pick you up” Calvin said indicating Ya Tou.

“Let's go” Chun said. “It's really not safe here.”

Aaron turns around and saw Gui Gui's car moving away from the bus station.

“Okay” he said and turns to leave with them.

- - - - -

“Sorry, I’ve caused you two so much trouble” Gui Gui said breaking the silence in the car.

“If you've known that, then why did you run away in the first place?” Wang Zi said mad.

“If I didn't do it, then would you let me go with Aaron if I asked?”

Wang Zi didn't reply.

Ya Tou who's in the middle looks at Wang Zi as she felt her heart aches then she turns to Gui Gui.

“Gui Gui, so tell me, what did you two do?” she smiled.

“We did many things,” Gui Gui said remembering how many things they did. “But I think it's more suitable to talk about it if we are alone.”

“Oh~I got it” Ya Tou said excited to hear about everything.

The car then went back to silence.

- - - - - -

“So what did you guys do?” Jiro ask Aaron.

“None of your business” Aaron said not in the mood to talk.

“Ah right, Aaron I heard your parents came back home today” Chun said as he drove.

Aaron looks out the window, “Then, can I crash at your place today?”

“Of course, but shouldn't you go home and have a family reunion? You know it's been so long since you've all got together” Chun said.

“I know, but I don't want to return home tonight” he said still looking out the window.

“I got it” Chun said and change direction.
