Even though Ghost said that he could call a cab, Callum insisted on sending him back . During the entire journey, the usually talkative Callum was so quiet that Ghost was starting to get worried that he might end up in a ditch somewhere .

His place was an hour drive away and after a while, he got fed up with the silence and called out to him, "Callum?"

"Yeah?"

Concerned, Ghost asked, "You're being awfully quiet there . Is there anything wrong?"

"No . "

Ghost rolled his eyes as he thought, "Why the heck is he throwing a temper tantrum at his age . . . "

After another moment of silence, Callum broke it by asking, "Is Kai Xin the woman in your heart? The one you said you are in love with . . . "

"Huh?"

Callum glanced at him through the rearview mirror and said, "I saw the two of you hugging . "

"And what do you want now?" asked Ghost as he met his eyes through the rearview mirror . He told himself that he did not care about what Callum saw but somehow, there was a weird feeling that was nagging at him .

Callum gripped the steering wheel tightly as he gritted, "I want the truth, Guang Ying . I'm not my brother . I don't have the patience to deal with this slowly . Tell me now . Are you in love - Are you still in love with her?"

Ghost looked out the side window . He took a few seconds to think before asking, "What if I said that I am? What are you going to do about it?"

" . . . "

Before Callum could say anything else, Ghost murmured softly, "If you are going to cry, then don't bother . She rejected me cleanly today . . . That woman can be quite cruel sometimes . . . "

Callum pulled the car aside before turning to face Ghost . With a serious expression, he said, "Guang Ying . . . I'm not joking . I like you and I want to give this - give us - a try . . . I'd care for you and protect you and above all things, you would be the first in my life . However, if you're really not comfortable about dating a man, I'll stop bothering you . So, what's your answer?"

"What is wrong with you? I'm not going to answer that question," asked Ghost as he turned to look at him in frustration .

"Don't change the topic . Tell me now if what I'm doing is futile . "

Ghost sighed, "I'll be honest with you . I'm not sure whether I can ever accept a man… or a woman in my life . I've never trusted anyone other than her . If you are serious about courting me, I won't stop you . That is your prerogative . However, you might be disappointed in the end when you realized just how messed up am I . "

"I won't . No matter what I find out later on, I'd never be disappointed in you . "

Ghost gulped at Callum's declaration . After they stared at each other for what felt like an eternity, Callum leaned in to try to take a kiss . However, just as their lips were about to meet, Ghost turned away .

As he stared at the drunk people singing as they came out from a bar, he thought about the time he first introduced himself to Kai Xin . They had come a long way since then and they were finally able to end everything .

Without looking at Callum, he knew that the man had a disappointed expression on his face . After a while, he said, "I talked to her earlier and I think I need to think about a lot of things . I need to settle things at home . Don't constantly bother me . "

Just as Callum thought that that was the end, Ghost added, "You get 5 messages a day and 1 call and you cannot bring any of it forward . "

A grin soon appeared at the corner of Callum's lips as he realized what Ghost was saying . By the time he started the car again, he had a hard time holding back the smile .
