Chapter Twenty Four: Forever you
~Aaron’s POV*
“Gor, I heat up some milk for you.” Gui walked into my room. I’m staring at the shirt my mum gave me.
“Try it on, Gor.” I looked at her. After hesitating for a few seconds, I decided to try. I started changing when Gui started screaming away.
“AH!!”
“Don’t scream. You are the one who asked me to try.” I said.
“I did say. I never knew you will try it on now!” Gui started covering her eyes. I decided to make fun of her. Haha.
“Don’t look ah. I’m not wearing any clothes.”
“Hurry up and wear.” She continues to cover up her eyes. I walked to the door and closed the door.
“Why did you close the door?” She turned to look at me. “AH!!!”
“I told you I have not worn any clothes. Moreover I’m wearing pants, why are you so scared?”
“Hurry up and wear your clothes!!” She kept on covering her eyes. I walked towards her.
“Are you done yet?” I put on the shirt that mum gave me. It fit on perfectly.
“Gui, I’m done.”
“Are you sure?” She started peeking through her hands.
“Where are you?”
“BOO!!” I scared her from the back.
“AHH!!” She turned around and saw me standing behind her.
“Stupid!!!” She started chasing me around the room. I started laughing.
“How dare you make fun of me?”
“You made me so awkward just now. This is your punishment.”
“I’m helping you to get closer to your mum, ok!” She said. I stood there. Yea. She’s somehow right. It’s has been so long since I ate a proper meal with my mum.
“Gor?” Gui walked towards me. “Are you ok?” I turned to her and started tickling her. She started laughing.
“Stop it. Stop it. Gor.. My tears are going to drop out already.” I pinned against the bed.
“Gor..” I leaned forward and kissed her on her forehead.
“Thank you.” She smiled. She put her arms around my neck and pulled me closer to her. I looked into her eyes. She moved forward and laid a kiss on my lips. I was shocked. She smiled at me. I moved forward and kissed her passionately.
*Gui Gui’s POV*
The next morning I ran into Aaron’s room.
“Gor.. Gor..” I started pulling his blanket.
“What? I want to sleep. 5 more minutes.”
“No! Auntie is leaving already.” He sits up immediately.
“Who is leaving?”
“You mum is leaving already. Faster. We need to rush to the airport.” Aaron dashed into the toilet to wash up.
“Mum, we are going off.” I pulled Aaron along.
~At the airport~
We went searching high and low for her.
“There.. There..” I pulled Aaron to her.
“Auntie..”
“Gui.. Aaron..” Aaron looked at her. He did not say anything again.
“Gui..”
“Yes, Auntie?”
“I failed as being a mother. I did not take care of Aaron properly since young.”
“Auntie..”
“I hope you can take care of him for me. You must remember to remind him to take all 3 meals. When sleeping, you must cover him with the blanket, notice that he is not kicking the blanket away. When he’s sick, please bring him to visit a doctor. When he needs someone by his side, please stay with him.” She continues.
“Auntie..”
“I hope the shirt fits.” She turned to Aaron. Aaron did not reply.
“Gor..”
“It’s ok.” She smiled at me. “I got to go now. Bye.” She turned around and headed to the gate.
“Mum!!” Aaron shouted for her. He ran up to her. “Mum, the shirt fits.” She nodded and hugged him tightly. She waved goodbye to us and walked into the gate.
“Mum..” I hugged Aaron tightly.
~3 years later~
~Christmas Day~
We are decorating the Christmas tree. Calvin, Jiro, Selina and Hebe are at my house too.
“Gor!!” I ran up to him. Just as I’m reaching him, I stepped onto something.
“AH!!” Falling Falling.. Eh? I looked up and see Aaron holding on to me.
“Gui, look where you are going. I don’t want you to get hurt ok!”
“Sorry, Gor.” He hugged me into his arms.
“OK!! Ready to have the Christmas feast!!” Mum shouted from the kitchen.
“Ok!!” Everyone said. After eating, we started playing and talking in the living room.
~At night~
“Gui, are you sleeping?” Aaron knocked on my room’s door.
“Nope.” He walked into my room.
“What’s behind your back?” I asked.
“For you. Your Christmas present.” He took out a big white bear behind his back.
“AH!! Bear!!” I hugged the bear tightly. “So cute..”
“Cannot. I’m going to take back the bear.” Aaron took the bear away from me.
“Hey!! Why?”
“I’m jealous of the bear already.” Huh? I started giggling.
“Not returning you the bear.” I took the bear from him and putted on the bed. I hugged him.
“Silly Gor.” He hugged me back.
“I’m glad that I met. I’m glad that I’m hugging you now. It feels so real.” I smiled.
“I’m glad too.” I looked at him.
“I love you.” I said.
“I love you too.” He kissed me on my forehead and to my eyes and down to my lips. He pinned me down on the bed. We had a long, passionate kiss. I love him like the way he loves me. My forever will always be you, Gor.

#23 Discharge
Chapter Twenty Three: Discharge
*Gui Gui’s POV*
“Aaron..” Both of us looked towards the door, Aaron’s mum is standing at the door.
“Why are you here?” Aaron asked.
“I heard that you are hospitalized so I came to visit you. How are you feeling?” Aaron’s mum walked towards the bed.
“I do not need you care.” Aaron looked away.
“Aaron..”
“Don’t call my name.”
“I..”
“I don’t want to see you.” I looked at Aaron. Actually he wanted to her to stay, he just do not know how he should face her.
“This is for you.” Aaron’s mum put down a bowl of soup before leaving the room. The moment she left the room, Aaron got down from the bed and walked towards the window. He stood there for a long period of time. I know why he stood there. Looking down from the window, he is able to see his mum coming out from the hospital. I walked towards Aaron and hugged him. I do not know how to ease the pain in his heart but a hug from me should at least heal a little.
He then walked towards his bed and took the soup.
“Gor..” He opened the cover and started drinking the soup.
*Aaron’s POV*
~Flashback~
“Aaron, drink more of the soup. You will get smarter by drinking mummy’s soup.” Mum patted on my head.
“Yea. Aaron love mum’s soup.” I smiled at her.
“Then you should drink more.”
“Yes. Aaron will drink more.”
~End of Flashback~
It’s the same taste as before.
“Gor..”
I miss this taste. I miss this feeling. Suddenly, Gui hugged me.
“You can cry out if you want.” She said. “I won’t look at you.” I hugged tightly in my arms. I didn’t know why but tears just kept on flowing out freely.
“I miss her. I did miss her.” Gui patted me on my back.
“I know. I know.”
~The day when Aaron is discharge~
“Gor..” Gui came into the room. I smiled at her. I pulled her to sit on my lap.
“Hey, later people will see it.”
“Yea. We saw that.” Calvin and the rest appeared in the room.
“Scare me. When did you all arrive?” Gui asked.
“Since Aaron pulled you to sit on his lap.” And they started laughing. I laugh too.
“Hey.. Stop laughing!” Gui smacked me on my chest.
“Ouch. Pain Pain.” I held onto the area where she smacked me.
“Ah? Sorry. I didn’t mean to. Did I hit on your wound? Is it very pain? I go and call the doctor.” Just as she stood up, I pulled her back.
“I’m fine. I’m just playing with you.”
“Hey! It’s not funny ok!” She pouted. I smiled.
“You look so cute.” I said. Calvin and the rest started making the vomiting sound.
“Oh my god. So disgusting.” I laughed.
“Hoh. You see. Anyhow say.” Gui started blushing. I hugged her tightly and smiled.
As we walked out of the hospital, mum is standing at the main door. I wanted to walk away but Gui held on to me.
“I told her that you are discharged today.” I looked at Gui. She pulled me to my mum.
“Aaron..” I didn’t reply.
“Gor, you are hungry right? Let’s go eat.”
“I’m not hungry.” I wanted to leave.
“Calvin, Jiro, you all is hungry right?” Gui turned to them and asked.
“Yea. Hungry. Aaron, let’s go.” Calvin and Gui pulled me into Calvin’s car. Jiro, Selina and Hebe helped my mum to their car.
“Gui, you did this on purpose.” I turned to her. She smiled at me.
“You did want her to come, isn’t it?” Gui said. “You shouted for mum while you are sleeping.”
“I.. When.. When did I?” I turned away from her.
“Yes you did.” I turned to look at her and she started giggling.
“You.. You..” I leaned forward and started kissing her.
“Gor..” I hugged her tightly. This will be your punishment for making fun of me.
“Are the both of you treating me as invisible?” Calvin said while driving. I ignored him and continue kissing Gui. Just then, Calvin made a sharp turn causing me to knock against the window.
“Ouch! You did it on purpose.” I grumbled.
“Who ask you to treat me as some invincible person.”
“I’m a patient eh.”
“Not anymore since you are out of the hospital.”
“You good.” Ow. My head.
“Gor, are you ok?”
“Yea. Somehow. My head not yet crack open.”
“Hey.. Don’t scare me.” Gui started observing my head. I smiled at her.
“I’m fine. Just a little pain.” She started helping me to rub my head.
“Gui is still the best.” I said.
“Do you want to get another knock?” Calvin said.
“You are jealous!” I said. “Gui is mine.” I cling onto her.
“Gor..” Just then, Calvin made another sharp turn.
“Ok Ok. Stop making sharp turns. I stop saying. You don’t make anymore sharp turns. Luckily, Gui isn’t hurt.” I said.
“Sorry, Gui.” She laughed.
“I’m fine. Just see the both of you bickering are so funny.”
“Ok. Reached.” We came into a restaurant. As we get down from the car, Jiro’s car reached too. We headed into the restaurant. They forced mum to sit in front of me. So “nice” of them. It’s kind of awkward sitting in front of her. It has been so long since I eat with her.
“Auntie, what do you want to eat?” Gui asked her.
“Anything. You asked Aaron what he wants.” Mum looked at me. I turned to Gui.
“Anything will do.” And they started ordering.
“Aaron, I bought this for you.” Mum passed me a bag. Inside the bag, it contains a shirt. I didn’t want to take it but Gui started nudging me.
“Thank you.” I took it over from her.
“Go home and try whether it fits. If not, I bring it back to the shop and change it.”
“It’s fine.” I said. The silence is making me feeling very uneasy.
“Food is here. Let’s eat.” The waiter started serving us our food.
“Aaron, eat more.” Mum started putting her food onto my plate.
“Stop giving me. You should eat it yourself.” I shifted my plate nearer to me.
“Auntie, you should eat more also.” Gui said.
“Ok.” My mum smiled at her.
After eating, we send her back to her hotel. All of us get down of the car. As she walked into the hotel, I wanted to call her. But whenever the word came to my mouth, I swallow them back. In the end, I still did not call her “mum”.
*Gui Gui’s POV*
“Aaron..” Both of us looked towards the door, Aaron’s mum is standing at the door.
“Why are you here?” Aaron asked.
“I heard that you are hospitalized so I came to visit you. How are you feeling?” Aaron’s mum walked towards the bed.
“I do not need you care.” Aaron looked away.

#22 Never let you go
Chapter Twenty Two: Never let you go
*Gui Gui’s POV*
The next morning, when I woke up, he’s not at home anymore.
“Gui, what are the both of you quarreling about yesterday?” Uncle Yan asked.
“It’s nothing. Don’t worry. I’m going to school.” I stood up and left. I went to his classroom but Jiro and Calvin said that they did not saw him.
“Gui, calm down. He might be on his way to school already.” Calvin said.
“Impossible. He left home earlier than me today.” I got so worried. I shouldn’t have hurt him. I regretted.
“Gui, calm down.”
“I shouldn’t have broken up with him. He’s already badly affected when his mum came to look for him. Why did I still break up with him yesterday? My stupid brain.”
“You what?” Calvin said.
“You broke up with him?!” Jiro said.
“Why?”
“I don’t know. I’m very confused now. I got to go and look for him.” I started panicking.
“Gui, where are you going to look for him? Moreover, lesson is going to start soon.”
“No.. I got to go and look for him.”
“Gui!” Calvin shouted at me. “Calm down! You go back to class first ok?” I looked at him. I walked back to my classroom. After school, I dashed out of my classroom.
“Gui!” They saw me running out of the school but I didn’t stop but kept on running. I must go and look for him. I went to the beach but he isn’t here. I looked at my phone. He did not call nor message me. I started crying again. I shouldn’t have.. I then realized how important he is to me. Actually after I broke up with him yesterday night, I regretted.
I looked all over the places. I went to the place where Aaron and I went before but I couldn’t find him. Walking till late at night, I still can’t see him anywhere. Just then, Calvin called me.
“Hello?”
“Gui! Aaron is hospitalized!”
“What?!” Calvin told me the hospital Aaron is in and I took a cab down. It’s my fault. It’s entirely my fault. The moment I reached the hospital, I went to find him.
“Calvin, how’s Aaron? How’s Aaron?” I grabbed onto Calvin’s arms.
“Gui, calm down. He’s resting now. He drank too much and got beaten up. The doctor said that it’s just some minor scratches and bruises.” After hearing this, I calm down a little.
“Can I go and see him?” He nodded. “He’s inside.” I opened the door slowly. He has bandage everywhere. I walked towards his bed and sat beside his bed. Drop of tears came flowing down.
“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t break up with you. I shouldn’t say that I don’t love you anymore. I shouldn’t leave you alone.” Tears just kept on flowing.
“I’m sorry. I’m sorry. Gor, I love you. I always love you. When I broke up with you yesterday, I regretted immediately. I’m sorry.”
“Gui?” I turned around to see Uncle Yan standing at the door. Did he hear everything I have said?
Both of us went outside and talked.
“Gui..”
“I’m sorry, Uncle Yan. I didn’t mean to hide from you.”
“Gui, why are you so silly? You should have told me. Actually I somehow already know the both of you are in love with each other when I saw the rings you all are wearing.”
“Uncle Yan..”
“From young, both of you are in such good relationship. It’s very difficult to stop the both of you from loving each other, isn’t it? But so what if you are in love with each other? That’s not illegal, isn’t it?”
“Uncle Yan.. But won’t our relationship affect you?”
“No. Who says so?”
“I said so.” Mum walked towards us.
“Dear, why did you say that?”
“They are supposed to be siblings isn’t it?”
“Yes. They are but they are not blood-related. If they fall in love with each other, it doesn’t matter, isn’t it?” Uncle Yan said.
“But how would other people look at you? Even though they are not blood-related, people might also think that since becoming siblings, they shouldn’t be together.”
“Dear, I do not care how other people think. As long as we can get happiness, our child also can get happiness, I’m fine with anything.”
“Dear..” Uncle Yan hugged mum. “Silly girl.” I smiled.
~The Next Day~
Once lesson ends, I rushed to the hospital. The moment I opened the door, he isn’t on his bed. Where is he? He woke up already? Just as I wanted to leave the room, he called me.
“Gui?” I turned around to see Aaron standing in front of me. I ran up to him and hugged him tightly.
“You scared me.”
“I went to the toilet only.” I then realized there is a toilet in the room. Why didn’t I notice? Maybe I’m too worried to be able to think logically.
“Gor, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t break up with you. I love you.” I looked at him. He smiled and hugged me back. I helped him back to the bed.
“Gor, do you want to eat anything? I go and buy for you.”
“It’s ok. I’m not hungry.” He touched my face and smiled.
“Gor, I’m sorry.” He came up and hugged me.
“I’m fine now. As long as you are with me, I will be fine.”
“I will never leave you again. I promise.”
“Aaron..” Just then, she walked into the room.

“Aaron..” Just then, she walked into the room.
#21 Broke up
Chapter Twenty One: Broke up
*Aaron’s POV*
After sorting out my mood, I went back home.
“Aaron, go wash your hands. Get ready to take dinner.” Auntie Wu said.
“Ok.” I looked around the house but I couldn’t find Gui. Is she in her room? I went up to her room but she locked up her room.
“Gui?” I knocked on the door. There is no response. I started to get very worried.
“Gui? Are you in there? Gui!” Just then, she opened the door slowly.
“Gui? Are you ok?” I held onto her. She looked so weak.
“I’m fine.” She swing off my hand and walked down the stairs. She was not herself today. No matter how much I asked, she just ignored me.
“Gui..” I held onto her.
“Let me go.” She tried to swing off my hand.
“What’s wrong with you?” I grabbed onto her arm tightly.
“What’s wrong with the both of you? Quarrel again?” Dad walked towards us.
“Nothing.” Gui swing off my hand and ran into her room.
“Aaron, you made her angry?”
“I..” Is she angry about what I said this morning?
~Flashback~
“Gor.. You are walking too fast, I can’t catch up.”
“Then don’t follow me.” I said. She didn’t chase after me anymore.
~End of Flashback~
Stupid of me. Why did I even say that in the first place? Now she’s ignoring me. The next morning, she went to school without me. Even during break time, I went to look for her, she did not even turned to look at me. Only till at night, I then got my chance to talk to her. Dad and Auntie Wu went out to have business dinner.
“Gui..” I grabbed onto her arm.
“What do you want?”
“I’m sorry about yesterday. I didn’t mean to leave you alone. I..” She swings off my hand.
“Gui..” I ran up to her. “Why are you ignoring me?”
“Don’t block my way.”
“Gui!” I held onto her.
“Did something happen?”
“No.”
“No? Then why are avoiding me?” She kept silent.
“Answer me!”
“Because I find you irritating. I want you to leave me alone!” I loosen my grip.
“Wh.. What do you mean by that?”
“Let’s break up. I don’t want to get so stress and painful anymore.”
“You must be joking right? You still love me, don’t you?”
“No. I don’t love you anymore.”
“Look at me! Look at me!” I forced her to face me. “You love me, don’t you?” She did not reply.
“Gui.. I know you are lying.”
“Stay away from me.” She walked away. I stone for a few minutes before running up to her. I hugged her tightly from the back.
“Don’t leave.” She tried to struggle off my grip. I hugged her even more.
“Please don’t leave.”
*Gui Gui’s POV*
“Gui..” Aaron get hold of my arm.
“What do you want?”
“I’m sorry about yesterday. I didn’t mean to leave you alone. I..” I swing off his hand.
“Gui , why are you ignoring me?” He ran in front of me.
“Don’t block my way.”
“Gui!” He grabbed onto me.
“Did something happen?”
“No.”
“No? Then why are avoiding me?” Aaron, please don’t force me.
“Answer me!”
“Because I find you irritating. I want you to leave me alone!” I hurt him. I hurt him.
“Wh.. What do you mean by that?”
“Let’s break up. I don’t want to get so stress and painful anymore.”
“You must be joking right? You still love me, don’t you?”
“No. I don’t love you anymore.” I didn’t look at him when I said that.
“Look at me! Look at me! You love me, don’t you?” He forced me to look at him. I can’t tell him that I don’t love him when I’m looking at him.
“Gui.. I know you are lying.”
“Stay away from me.” I walked away. He ran up to me and hugged me from the back.
“Don’t leave.” I wanted to escape from his hug. He started to hug me tighter. He’s making me not bearing to leave.
“Please don’t leave.” I could feel that my cheeks started to get wet.
“Aaron, Gui, We are back.” Just as I heard this, I broke off the hug and ran back to my room, leaving him standing there alone. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I looked at my ring. Tears just kept on flowing out without any control.
“Aaron, what happen?” I could hear Uncle Yan’s voice. Aaron did not reply. Just after 5 minutes, I heard a loud bang coming from his room. He closed his room’s door real hard.
“I’m sorry.. I’m sorry..”
*Aaron’s POV*
After sorting out my mood, I went back home.
“Aaron, go wash your hands. Get ready to take dinner.” Auntie Wu said.
“Ok.” I looked around the house but I couldn’t find Gui. Is she in her room? I went up to her room but she locked up her room.
“Gui?” I knocked on the door. There is no response. I started to get very worried.
“Gui? Are you in there? Gui!” Just then, she opened the door slowly.
“Gui? Are you ok?” I held onto her. She looked so weak.
“I’m fine.” She swing off my hand and walked down the stairs. She was not herself today. No matter how much I asked, she just ignored me.
“Gui..” I held onto her.
“Let me go.” She tried to swing off my hand.
“What’s wrong with you?” I grabbed onto her arm tightly.
“What’s wrong with the both of you? Quarrel again?” Dad walked towards us.
“Nothing.” Gui swing off my hand and ran into her room.
“Aaron, you made her angry?”
“I..” Is she angry about what I said this morning?
~Flashback~
“Gor.. You are walking too fast, I can’t catch up.”
“Then don’t follow me.” I said. She didn’t chase after me anymore.
~End of Flashback~
Stupid of me. Why did I even say that in the first place? Now she’s ignoring me. The next morning, she went to school without me. Even during break time, I went to look for her, she did not even turned to look at me. Only till at night, I then got my chance to talk to her. Dad and Auntie Wu went out to have business dinner.
“Gui..” I grabbed onto her arm.
“What do you want?”
“I’m sorry about yesterday. I didn’t mean to leave you alone. I..” She swings off my hand.
“Gui..” I ran up to her. “Why are you ignoring me?”
“Don’t block my way.”
“Gui!” I held onto her.
“Did something happen?”
“No.”
“No? Then why are avoiding me?” She kept silent.
“Answer me!”
“Because I find you irritating. I want you to leave me alone!” I loosen my grip.
“Wh.. What do you mean by that?”
“Let’s break up. I don’t want to get so stress and painful anymore.”
“You must be joking right? You still love me, don’t you?”
“No. I don’t love you anymore.”

#20 Sacrificing
Chapter Twenty: Sacrificing
*Gui Gui’s POV*
“Mum?!”
“Auntie Wu..” Mum walked up to me and slapped my face.
“Auntie Wu!!” Aaron pulled me behind him. Tears started rolling down my cheeks.
“Gui, are you ok?” I nodded.
“Auntie, it’s not her fault. I’m the one who love her.” Aaron said. Mum looked at him with her eyes wide open. “We are together.” She’s dumbfounded.
“What do you think the both of you are doing!!” And she slapped Aaron too.
“Mum, don’t slap him. If want to slap someone, than you slap me instead.” I stood in front of Aaron.
“Gui..” He pulled me to his side.
“Mum, I love him. Even he’s my brother, I still love him.”
“Gui, how could you..”
“I’m sorry.” Mum didn’t say anything else. She walked back to her room. Uncle Yan isn’t with her. I started crying again.
“Gor..” He hugged me tightly. I went back to my room.
“Gui, I’m coming in.” Aaron walked into my room.
“Does your face still hurt?” He asked.
“Doesn’t yours hurt too?” I touched his cheek. He shook his head.
“It’s nothing compare to yours.” I looked at him.
“Gor..” I touched his chest. “You heart should be aching too, isn’t it?” I’m referring to Aaron’s mum. His heart is hurting too, isn’t it? Why do things just happen all of the sudden at one go?
~At night~
We are having dinner together.
“What’s wrong with the 3 of you?” Uncle Yan asked. “Did the both of you made your mum angry?” Uncle Yan looked at the both of us. I didn’t dare to reply. Aaron did not say anything too.
“Dear, eat more..” Mum kept on taking food for Uncle Yan. All of us are avoiding the topic.
“Dear, are you angry with me for spoiling our honeymoon?” Uncle Yan asked. Aaron and I looked at the both of them.
“No. I’m fine. Your company has urgent matters for you to handle. I’m not angry for coming back earlier than schedule.” This explained why mum appear suddenly in the afternoon.
“I’m full already. I’m going back to my room.” Mum stood up from the chair and headed back to her room. Aaron and I kept quiet.
“Is there something happened that I missed out?” Uncle Yan asked again.
“Nothing.” Aaron replied. Aaron stood up and walked away. Uncle Yan looked at me.
“Uncle Yan..”
“Yea?” I think I should tell him.
“Aaron’s mum came back to look for him yesterday.” Uncle Yan dropped his chopsticks when I said that.
“So that explains why everyone is in such a moody mood?”
“N..No.. There are some things that I can’t say now. I will tell you when I’m ready. Uncle Yan, I go back to my room already.” I stood up and left.
~The Next Morning~
“Mum..” I walked to the kitchen.
“Go and take your breakfast.” She said coldly.
“Mum..” I grabbed onto her arm.
“You will be late for school.” She walked out of the kitchen. I went to the dining table and sit down.
“Gui, are you ok?” Aaron asked.
“Yea.” He put his hand on mine.
“I’m fine.” I smiled at him. After eating breakfast, the both of us get ready to go to school. Just as we opened the main door..
“Why are you here again?” Aaron asked.
“You are going to school already? I send you there.”
“No need. Gui, let’s go.”
“Aaron..” She held onto Aaron’s arm.
“Let go of me.” Just then, Uncle Yan and mum walked to the door too.
“You..” Uncle Yan said. “Both of you go to school first.”
“Ok.” I pull Aaron to the car.
*Uncle Yan’s POV*
“Why are you here? Do you know your sudden appearance would frighten Aaron? After you left so many years, you never once call him.”
“I.. I was training hard to become a top dancer. I didn’t mean to. I..”
“Top dancer..” I smirked. “So becoming a top dancer, what do you get in the end? Applauses? Flowers? Or fame?”
“Dear..” Dear put her hand on my shoulder. I nodded at her.
“If you want Aaron to call you mum again, you got to work hard yourself.” After saying, I stood up from the seat and left.
*Gui Gui’s POV*
“Gor..” I chased after him. “You are walking too fast, I can’t catch up.”
“Then don’t follow me.” I stunned at the spot when he said that. I stopped following him and headed back to my classroom.
He’s in a bad mood only. Don’t take his words to heart. I tried to convince myself that he did not say that on purpose. He should be fine after school. I will go and look for him after school. When lesson ended, I immediately dashed out of my classroom but I just couldn’t find him anywhere. Calvin said he left after lesson ends. He promised that he will always tell me where he is going. Why did you choose to disappear from my sight again? Just then, my phone vibrated. I took out my phone and saw a message send from him.
The message goes like this: Gui, I’m sorry about today. I’m going to the beach. You go home yourself ok? Aaron.
I felt kind of relieved when he sent this. I headed home after that.
“Mum, I’m home.” She is sitting on the sofa.
“Gui, come and sit down beside me.” I walked towards her and sat beside her.
“Mum, are you still angry over me and Aaron?”
“Gui, we will leave this house.”
“What do you mean?”
“It seems that I have to leave your Uncle Yan.”
“No! Mum. Why?!” I held onto her hands.
“Gui, you love him don’t you?”
“I..” She smiled at me.
“My daughter finally grown up and started to love someone. This is the first person that I heard you saying that you love him. As a mum, I should support you, don’t I?”
“Mum..”
“I will let you be with him but we got to leave first.”
“No. Mum. After dad, this is the second happiness that you found. You can’t..” She stroked my hair and smiled.
“Is my daughter’s happiness more important or mine? Of course my daughter’s, isn’t it?”
“No mum. Things shouldn’t go this way.” We kept silent for a while.
“I will leave him.” I said.
“Gui..”
“I will leave him.” I ran back up to my room and locked the door.
“Gui..” Mum knocked on my door but I did not response to it. I crouch at one corner and started crying.
If someone has to sacrifice in order to get happiness, than I will be the one sacrificing.
*Gui Gui’s POV*
“Mum?!”
“Auntie Wu..” Mum walked up to me and slapped my face.
“Auntie Wu!!” Aaron pulled me behind him. Tears started rolling down my cheeks.
“Gui, are you ok?” I nodded.
“Auntie, it’s not her fault. I’m the one who love her.” Aaron said. Mum looked at him with her eyes wide open. “We are together.” She’s dumbfounded.

“Gui..” He pulled me to his side.
“Mum, I love him. Even he’s my brother, I still love him.”
“Gui, how could you..”
“I’m sorry.” Mum didn’t say anything else. She walked back to her room. Uncle Yan isn’t with her. I started crying again.
“Gor..” He hugged me tightly. I went back to my room.
“Gui, I’m coming in.” Aaron walked into my room.
“Does your face still hurt?” He asked.
“Doesn’t yours hurt too?” I touched his cheek. He shook his head.

#19 She’s back
Chapter Nineteen: She’s back
*Gui Gui’s POV*
~After school~
“Let’s all go out and play!!” I said.
“Sure.” Calvin said. All of us, Jiro, Selina, Hebe, Calvin, Aaron and I, headed for the amusement park.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!” All of us sat the roller coaster and when screaming all the way. I could feel that I’m going to vomit anytime.
“Gui, are you ok? Let’s go and take a rest.” Aaron said.
“No. I still want to play.” I smiled at him.
“But you don’t look well.”
“But I still want to play. Or we don’t play exciting games first. We go and play darts? Or we go and sit the ferries horse? Gor..”
“Ok Ok.” I smiled widely at him.
“Let’s go and play separately than we meet at the ice-cream store.” Calvin said.
“Ok!” I pulled Aaron to the game stations. Darts, bottle games, ball games.. We nearly cleared every game there.
“I’m so happy today!!” I started skipping around.
“Gui, be careful.” Aaron held on to my hand. I smiled at him.
“Gor, let’s go and sit the ferries wheel before meeting them at the ice-cream store.” He nodded and we headed for the ferries wheel.
I laid on his shoulder.
“I’m so tired.” I said.
“I thought you are so hyper just now?” He said.
“All the energy used up.” I giggled.
“You ah..” He hugged me into his arms.
“Gor..”
“Yea?”
“How nice it would be if the ferries wheel doesn’t stop.” He smiled. I looked at him.
“Silly girl.”
“I become silly because of you, don’t you know?” I said. Suddenly, he bends forward to kiss me on my lips. I smiled.
“Let’s go!” The ferries wheel stopped and we headed for the ice-cream store.
“What took the both of you so long?” Jiro asked.
“The silly girl wanted to play every game.” Aaron patted my head.
“Hey, what!” I pouted and they started laughing. We spent the whole day outside. We only went home at night.
“Finally home! I’m so tired. Yawn.” Aaron sleeps on my bed. He likes to sleep on my bed.
“Gor, wake up. You haven’t bath!” I pulled him up from my bed.
“You go and bath first. Let me sleep first.” Sigh. I walked to the bath room and started bathing. The moment I came out of the room, he had already fallen asleep. This silly guy. I pulled the blanket and covered him.
“Mum..” I heard him mumbling. “Mum..” I pushed his fringe to the side. How much pain is he actually carrying inside his heart? I leaned forward to kiss him on his forehead. Please let him have a sweet dream tonight.
~2 days later~
Today is a weekend.
“Gor, do you want to go out today?” I asked.
“Where do you want to go, my sis?”
“Hmm… Where should we go?” Just then, the door bell rings.
“I go get the door.” Aaron walked towards the door. After 5 minutes, he did not come back. That’s weird. I walked to the door.
“Gor, who’s that?” I looked out of the door. A woman is standing at the door.
“Gor, who is this?” I looked at Aaron.
“You are?” She asked.
“I’m Gui Gui.” Aaron pushed me behind him.
“Why are you here?” Aaron looked at the woman.
“Don’t you miss me?”
“You should ask yourself this question.” I’m getting so puzzled.
“Gor?”
“Gui, let’s go.” Aaron pulled me out of the house. Just as we walked a few steps, the woman shouted for him.
“Aaron..” We stopped. “I’m sorry for not calling you for so many years. Because I’m busy with my performance so..”
“You are always like this. You left us because of dance. You didn’t call me because of dance. Then why are you back here for?” Aaron held onto my hand tighter.
“I came back to see you.”
“Aren’t you a dancing star now? I should be honor that you still remember I’m your son?” Son? She is Aaron’s mum?!!
“Aaron..”
“Don’t call me!” Aaron pulled me to the car and he drove off, leaving her standing there. He drove all the way to the beach. Both of us did not talk. I just follow silently behind him.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!” He started screaming towards the sea. My tears started flowing out. I ran up to him and hugged him from the back.
“Gor..” I could feel his body shaking. His tears started dropping onto my hand. He pulled me in front of me and hugged me. I patted on his back.
“Why is she back? Why does she have to appear in front of me? I spend how many years forgetting the pain. I almost remember the past. But once she appear, everything got so clear again. Her face, her smile, her gentle, her care, her everything.” I hugged even tighter.
“Gor, I’m here. I’m here.”
I sat on the sea side with him resting on my lap. When the wind blows, the trees move and my hair fly towards the direction where the wind blows. I looked at Aaron. I shifted his fringe to the side. He grabbed my hand and hugged it in his arms. I smiled. I do not know how to comfort him but I know. The best way to comfort him is to stay beside him.
~The Next Day~
I walked into his room. “Gor?” He’s not in his room. I ran out of his room.
“Gor!” I shouted for him but there isn’t any response. You don’t scare me. Faster come out. “Gor! Where are you?” I looked at the kitchen, living room, other rooms,
piano room. He’s not in the house.
“Gor!” I ran out of the house. “Where are you?!”
“Are you looking for me?” I turned around to see him standing in front of me. I ran into his arms. “You scare me. Where have you been?”
“I just came out for a walk.”
“You should have told me.”
“You are still sleeping.”
“You can wake me up.”
“I wouldn’t bear to wake you up.”
“Gor! You almost scare me off, do you know that?!”
“Why? You think I might do something silly?”
“Ya!” And he started laughing.
“It’s not funny!” I got quite angry because he did really freak me out.
“I’m sorry.” I ignored him.
“Don’t angry. I’m sorry.” He held onto my hands. I looked at him.
“Sorry to make you worry.” He said.”I promise you the next time I will tell you where am I. Even if I’m in the toilet, I also tell you.” And he started smiling. I glared at him.
He smiled and hugged me. “I’m sorry.” I looked at him. I tiptoed to kiss him on his lips. He hugged me closer to him and we started kissing passionately.
“What are the both of you doing??!!!” Both of us break off and saw mum standing in front of us.
*Gui Gui’s POV*
~After school~

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!” He started screaming towards the sea. My tears started flowing out. I ran up to him and hugged him from the back.
“Gor..” I could feel his body shaking. His tears started dropping onto my hand. He pulled me in front of me and hugged me. I patted on his back.
“Why is she back? Why does she have to appear in front of me? I spend how many years forgetting the pain. I almost remember the past. But once she appear, everything got so clear again. Her face, her smile, her gentle, her care, her everything.” I hugged even tighter.
“Gor, I’m here. I’m here.”
I sat on the sea side with him resting on my lap. When the wind blows, the trees move and my hair fly towards the direction where the wind blows. I looked at Aaron. I shifted his fringe to the side. He grabbed my hand and hugged it in his arms. I smiled. I do not know how to comfort him but I know. The best way to comfort him is to stay beside him.
~The Next Day~
I walked into his room. “Gor?” He’s not in his room. I ran out of his room.
“Gor!” I shouted for him but there isn’t any response. You don’t scare me. Faster come out. “Gor! Where are you?” I looked at the kitchen, living room, other rooms,
piano room. He’s not in the house.
“Gor!” I ran out of the house. “Where are you?!”
“Are you looking for me?” I turned around to see him standing in front of me. I ran into his arms. “You scare me. Where have you been?”
“I just came out for a walk.”
“You should have told me.”
“You are still sleeping.”
“You can wake me up.”
“I wouldn’t bear to wake you up.”
“Gor! You almost scare me off, do you know that?!”
“Why? You think I might do something silly?”
“Ya!” And he started laughing.
“It’s not funny!” I got quite angry because he did really freak me out.
“I’m sorry.” I ignored him.
“Don’t angry. I’m sorry.” He held onto my hands. I looked at him.
“Sorry to make you worry.” He said.”I promise you the next time I will tell you where am I. Even if I’m in the toilet, I also tell you.” And he started smiling. I glared at him.
He smiled and hugged me. “I’m sorry.” I looked at him. I tiptoed to kiss him on his lips. He hugged me closer to him and we started kissing passionately.
“What are the both of you doing??!!!” Both of us break off and saw mum standing in front of us.
#18 Puzzle Solved
Chapter Eighteen: Puzzle Solved
*Gui Gui’s POV*
“I’m so tired.” Aaron slammed himself against my bed.
“Gor..” I wanted to pull him up from my bed but instead, he pulled me onto the bed.
“I’m so tired.” And he slept on me.
“Gor, faster wake up. You are not going to sleep here, aren’t you?”
“I might sleep here.” He said.
“Hey.. Faster take all your presents back to your room.” I pushed him away.
“My room is crowded with presents already. No more space. Why not I bring all into your room?”
“Nooo..”
“Such a good idea.” He happily went back to his room and took all the presents, dumping them into my room.
“Gor..”
“Help me open them then.” He sat on the floor and started opening all the presents. I sat beside him.
“Watch. Wallet. Tie. Chocolate..” I looked at the packaging. It’s Hebe.
“Gor, take this.” I stuff the chocolates to him.
“Ok..” Just then, Uncle Yan walked into my room.
“Opening presents?” The both of us looked up.
“Dad.” He went to sit the chair.
“Uncle Yan.” He smiled.
“My big boy grows up again.” He patted on Aaron’s back.
“Dad..”
“Your Auntie Wu seems a little anxious about getting you a girlfriend. I know you don’t like it but you still go along with her. Don’t mind her.” Uncle Yan smiled. Aaron kept quiet.
“Both of you continue to unwrap the presents. Don’t stay up too late.” Uncle Yan stood up from the chair.
“Oh. Forget to tell you. Happy Birthday, my son.”
“Thanks dad.”
“And.. Follow your heart.” Uncle Yan told Aaron but he turned to smile at me. Eh?
“Good night.” And he walked out of my room.
“Gor, did you tell Uncle Yan about us?”
“Nope. Why do you ask this?”
“Nothing.” Or maybe I’m thinking too much.
We spend quite long on the presents. Aaron started stretching. “So tired.”
He hugged me from the back. “I still like your present best.” Both of us looked at the rings we are wearing on. He smiled.
“Ok. Good night.” He kissed me on my forehead.
“Good night.” He stood up and left.
“Hey, Gor.. Your presents.”
“Leave it there.” And he went back to his room. Sigh.
~The Next Morning~
I walked into my class. Hebe is there.
“Morning, Hebe.” I greeted her, trying to be normal but she turned away from me. I walked back to my seat. She’s still angry. The whole day she didn’t talk to me even once.
“Gui..” Aaron walked towards me. Hebe stood up and left the classroom.
“She’s still angry with us?” Aaron asked.
“Yea.”
“Nevermind. Let’s go home.” Aaron held onto my hand and we walked towards the car.
~At home~
I walked around the garden. Sigh. What should I do? I also do not know how to explain to her. I then thought of what Selina told me.
~Flashback~
“Gui, in every relationship, there is always someone getting hurt, there is also always people sacrificing. This is because love is selfish which only belong to 2 people. If there are more than 2 people, someone is bound to get hurt. I believe that you are the one which Aaron wouldn’t want to see getting hurt. Even if he feels painful and stress, he still wants to protect you. You must have more courage in this relationship.”
~End of Flashback~
“What are you thinking?” Aaron walked up to me.
“I’m thinking about Hebe.”
“Do you want me to talk to her?” Aaron asked.
“It’s ok. Nevermind. I will try to talk to her myself.” I smiled at him.
~At night~
“I will be going to England for 1 week.” Uncle Yan said. “Dear, you come with me ok?” Mum looked at Uncle Yan. “Both of us have not gone for honeymoon yet.”
“Huh? But..”
“Don’t worry. Aaron will take care of Gui, right Aaron?” Uncle Yan asked.
“Yea. Of course.” He replied.
“You see. So you don’t have to worry.” Uncle Yan said. Mum looked at me. I looked down to avoid her eyes.
“Ok. Settle.”
“When will the both of you be leaving?”
“Tomorrow!”
“So fast?!” Mum shouted.
“Yea. I bought tickets already.” Uncle Yan said.
“So you have already planned before you asked?”
“Yea. Are you angry? I thought of giving you a surprise and you would be happy. You don’t want?” Uncle Yan sounded kind of sad.
“No. It’s not it..”
“Then it’s settled right? Great! Let’s go and pack our luggage.” Uncle Yan pushed mum to their room. I smiled.
“Great. Then we will be free for 1 week!” Aaron said. I turned to him and knocked his head.
“What’s that for?” I smiled and walked away.
“Hoh. Stupid girl.”
“I heard that!” I said.
~The next day~
“Take care of Gui, Aaron.” Uncle Yan said.
“I will.”
“Ok. Times up. The both of you don’t need to send us. Go to school.” Uncle Yan said.
“Ok.” Mum took a last glance of me before leaving the house.
~In school~
“Hebe..” I tried talking to her but she’s still not giving me any response. During lunch break, I stood in front of her.
“Can we talk for a moment?” She looked at me and nodded. Finally, I managed to let her agree in talking.
“What do you want to talk about?”
“I..” She looked at me.
“I know.” I looked up at her.
She continues, “I’m sorry for slapping you that day.”
“It’s ok.” She looked at me.
“Calvin told me already.”
~Flashback~
Calvin chased up to Hebe that day.
“Hebe..” She turned to Calvin and cried in his arms.
“How could she lie to me?”
“She didn’t mean to. Both of them have been struggling for a long time.” Hebe looked at him.
“I remember the day when Aaron told me that they are together. I couldn’t accept the fact too. He has been hiding from us too. But I came to realize how painful it is for him which explained for his weird actions for the past few days. Because they are siblings, it’s hard for them to tell people that they are actually lovers. How could siblings become lovers? Even though they are not blood-related, but since their parents got married, people would see them as siblings. Gui is scare of hurting the both of us so she stopped Aaron from saying. It has been so painful for the both of them.” Calvin looked at Hebe.
“You should understand too.” Hebe kept quiet.
~End of Flashback~
“I’m sorry for not being understanding.”
“I’m in wrong too. I’m sorry for not telling you.” She smiled.
“We are still friends right?” I smiled and hugged her.
“Of course. We will always be.” I said.
“Back to the past?” Both of us turned to see Aaron and the rest standing at the door. Both of us smiled.
“Yap!” I ran towards Aaron and hugged him.
*Gui Gui’s POV*
“I’m so tired.” Aaron slammed himself against my bed.

#17 Selfish Love
Chapter Seventeen: Selfish Love
*Gui Gui’s POV*
I went back into my room to take a rest. Mum pulled Aaron around to introduce girls for him. Sigh. Can’t believe that mum is doing to this extreme. Uncle Yan still doesn’t know anything. If he knows, will he be like mum?
“Gui..” Aaron walked into my room with lots of presents. He put down all the presents and hugged me. “I’m so tired.”
I chuckled. “Who ask you to be so popular?”
“Hugging you is still the best.” He said.
“You ah.. Someone might see us you know.”
“Sigh.” He then released his hug. “Where’s my present?”
“Don’t have.” I back faced him and started smiling.
“Don’t have? You sure?” I nodded.
“Then I shall get my present from you myself.” He said.
“Eh?” He turned me around and laid his lips on mine. The gentler he is with the kiss, the more I wouldn’t bear to break it off.
“Gor..” I pushed him slightly away from me. He started smiling.
I pouted. “Ok. I go and get your present.” I walked towards the table and opened the drawer. I took out a box.
“There you go.” I gave it to him.
“What is it?” He started shaking the box.
“Open up and see.” The moment he opened the box, he stared at it for long. The box contains of 2 rings - a bigger one which is his and the smaller one which is mine.
“I do not know whether you like it a not. I also not sure about your size but should be correct. Mine fits well.” He did not say anything but kept on looking at it.
“You have been staring at it for long.” He’s still not responding. I frowned. “You don’t like it that I take it back.” The moment I wanted to take the box away from me, he pulled me into his arms.
“Thank you. I thought you wouldn’t want a ring?”
“Because you say you want it.” I smiled at him. He took the smaller ring out.
“Give me your hand.” I stretched out my hand. He slots the ring into my third finger.
“You are mine now.” I smiled at him.
“I help you put on too.” I took the bigger ring and put it on for him. He hugged me tightly.
“I love you, Gui.” I smiled.
“What do you mean by that?” Both of us turned to look at the door.
“Hebe.. We..” Calvin and the rest stood behind her. Aaron pulled me behind him.
“What you see is real. Gui didn’t want to hurt you so she kept it from you.” Aaron said.
“Gor..” I tugged his shirt. I walked up to Hebe.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to..” One big slapped came smacking onto my face.
“Gui!” Aaron pulled me to him. “Are you ok?” He touched my face. Hebe started crying.
“You are my best friends. And you did this to me..” She took a few steps back before running away.
“Hebe..” I wanted to chase her but Aaron held onto me.
“I go and chased after her.” Calvin said and ran after Hebe. I started crying in Aaron’s arms.
~After 15 minutes~
I was sitting in front of the mirror with Selina. Aaron and Jiro went back out. It’s Aaron’s birthday party after all. He needs to be outside. Selina is helping me to touch up the makeup.
“Selina, do you think Aaron and I are in wrong?” I asked her. She placed her hand on mine and smiled.
“Gui, what do you think?”
“I.. I don’t know. We are supposed to be siblings and we should stay as siblings, isn’t it? Even mum disagree. He’s my brother.”
“Gui, follow your heart. You love him, don’t you?” I looked at Selina.
“Yes. I love him.” I said it out without any hesitation.
“That’s the answer.” She smiled.
“But.. I don’t want to hurt anyone. What if because of this relationship, someone pays a big price?”
“Gui, in every relationship, there is always someone getting hurt, there is also always people sacrificing. This is because love is selfish which only belong to 2 people. If there are more than 2 people, someone is bound to get hurt. I believe that you are the one which Aaron wouldn’t want to see getting hurt. Even if he feels painful and stress, he still wants to protect you. You must have more courage in this relationship.” Courage. That’s what I’m lacking off.
“Thanks, Selina.”
“You are welcome.” She said.
“How about you and Jiro? How did the both of you know each other?” When I asked this question, she started smiling.
“I remember that day I mistook him as a thief. Because when I found out that my wallet was lost, he is the only one who walked past me. So I grabbed onto him and demanded for my wallet. I still can remember his expression that day. It’s so funny.” She started laughing but suddenly she smiles.
“I like the way he plays the guitar. I like the way he care for me when I got hurt. I like the way he hugged me and say he loves me. I like the way he protects me. I remember once I got disturb by some strangers, he came to protect me. When he hurt his hand because of so saving me, I’m so afraid that he might not be able to play guitar again. I like the way he wants me even though his parents object.” She smiled and looked at me.
“He is silly but cute. He is rash but reliable. He is blur but sweet. He is careless but gentle. I know Aaron also have some points that attracts you. Gui, be strong. We are all supporting the both of you.” I hugged Selina.
“Thank you. Thank you.” I’m so touched.
“Gui, don’t cry. I just touched up your makeup.” I nodded and she patted on my back.
“Let’s go down now. They might be waiting for us to go down.” Selina said.
“Ok.” Both of us went down.
“What’s taking the both of you so long?” Jiro said as he pulled Selina into his arms.
“We are talking about your bad things.” Selina pinched his nose.
“What bad things? Huh?” Jiro looked at me and I started giggling.
“It’s a secret between us.” Selina said and smiled at me.
“Jiro, let’s go elsewhere.” Selina held onto Jiro’s hand.
“Where?” And she pulled him off.
“Gui..” Aaron looked at me. I smiled at him.
“I’m fine.”
“You sure?” I nodded.
“Hebe..”
“Calvin said that he’s comforting her now.”
“Ok.”
“Let’s go and get some food.” Aaron pulled me to the table.
“What do you want?” He asked. I looked at the range of food.
“I want the cake!” He smiled and nodded.
“Gor, what do you want? I take for you.” I went to take a plate and started scooping lots of food for him.
“Are you feeding a pig?” Aaron saw the pile of food on the plate.
“How do you know? You are the pig.” And I started laughing.
“How dare you say I’m a pig!” Both of us put down the plates we are holding on and he started chasing me around.
Even if no one gives us their blessing, at least there are always Jiro and the rest supporting us. Even if our relationship doesn’t last, I still want to cherish every moment I spend with you. Even if we don’t go together in the end, I will always love you. Because I learnt that this is my selfish love.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to..” One big slapped came smacking onto my face.

“You are my best friends. And you did this to me..” She took a few steps back before running away.

#16 Birthday Party
Chapter Sixteen: Birthday Party
*Gui Gui’s POV*
~At night~
“Gor, are you excited about tomorrow?” Both of us are sitting at the living room, watching television programs.
“No. Why?” He turned to look at me and started leaning forward. “You have some surprise for me?”
“N..No..” I stretched out my hand to push him away.
“I thought I would get some surprise.” He pouted.
“I met Calvin on the streets just now.” He turned to look at me. “You told him already, didn’t you?” He just nodded, not giving any reply.
“I have not told Hebe. I can’t bring myself to tell her. I..” He put his hand on mine and smiled.
“It’s ok. You don’t have to force yourself.”
“But..”
“I’m fine.”
“You always say that but you aren’t fine.” He kept silent.
“Aaron!” I quickly take my hand away from his but I know mum did saw it somehow.
“Yes, Auntie?” Aaron turned to her.
“Tomorrow is your birthday. I do not know what to give you. This is for you.” Mum passed Aaron a red packet. “You can go and buy the things that you want.”
“Thank you, Auntie.”
“Gui, come and help me to wash the dishes.” Mum looked at me.
“Ok.” She’s just trying to pull me away from Aaron.
“Auntie, I help you with it too.” Aaron stood up from the sofa.
“It’s ok. Gui will help me with it.” I looked at Aaron and shook my head. I followed my mum into the kitchen.
~Next Morning~
The moment we get down from the car, all the girls came rushing towards him.
“Aaron, Happy Birthday!!” I was being pushed to the side. The presents are getting more and more till I’m unable to see his face. After 15 to 20 minutes of idling, they left.
“Gui, can you help me with it?” Aaron asked.
“Don’t want.” I crossed my arms.
“Are you jealous?” And he started giggling.
“I’m not!”
“Yes, you are. Faster. Help me with it.”
“Just throw it into the car.” I said.
“You got to help me to open the car door too.”
“Sigh. I help you with it.” Calvin walked towards us.
“Thanks.” Calvin took the car key and opened the car door for him.
“Gui, you are jealous, aren’t you?” Calvin said.
“I.. I’m not.” I looked away from them. “I’m going back to class.” I wanted to walk away but Aaron held onto me. He pinned me against the car.
“I still have not received someone’s present.” He looked at me. I looked into his eyes. For moment, I got so attracted to him. Ahh!! I pushed him away.
“Don’t have.” I ran towards my classroom immediately.
“Gui, what happened to you?” Hebe asked. I was panting real hard. My heart is beating very fast.
“Nothing.”
Hebe started smiling to herself. “What’s wrong with you?” I asked.
“I’m so looking forward to the party at night.” She said. I then know from her that everyone from my class has been invited. I looked at Hebe. She’s so happy. How am I supposed to open my mouth and tell her that I’m with Aaron? Sigh. What a difficult task.
~At night~
I’m wearing this pink gown with a small ribbon at the side – Simple but elegant.
“Gui, are you ready?” Aaron knocked on my room’s door.
“Yea.” He opened the door and walked in.
“You look beautiful today.” He smiled and hugged onto my waist.
“You look handsome too.” I smiled and adjust his bow tie. “Let’s go out before anyone sees us.”
He held onto my hand and the both of us headed to the pool side.
“Happy birthday, Aaron!” Everyone give him their blessings as we walked pass them.
“Happy birthday, Aaron.” Jiro said.
“This is for you.” Selina took out a box and gave it to Aaron.
“Thank you.”
“This is for you.” Calvin gave his present too.
“Erm.. Aaron, this is for you. Happy Birthday.” Hebe said as she took the box of chocolates out from her bag. “I made this myself.” I looked at her then I realized the rest of them are looking at me. Aaron did tell Jiro and Selina too huh? I know what they are thinking. I still have not told Hebe that Aaron and I are together. I’m still giving her hope. But whenever I see her smile, I just couldn’t bring myself to tell her.
“So, what did Gui give you?” Jiro asked. I looked at Jiro. Why did he even ask this now? I could feel Aaron looking at me.
“She has not given me anything.”
“Err..” I started to laugh. “I told you I do not have any present for you.” Calvin looked at me with a puzzled look. Just then, a slow music started playing.
“Ah! You should invite Hebe for a dance.” I patted on Aaron’s shoulder. He looked at me in bewilderment.
“Calvin, let’s go.” I pulled Calvin to the dancing ground. Jiro also asked Selina for a dance.
“What are you doing?” Calvin whispered to me while dancing with me.
“Because Hebe said she wanted a dance with him.” He looked at me and nodded.
“I’m sorry for taking you as a shield.”
He smiled. “It’s ok. You have not given him the rings you bought?”
“Nope.” I smiled at him.
“You should dance with him. I know he wants to dance with you.”
“Huh?!”
“Aaron, change partner.” Just before I’m able to react, Calvin spins me out and releases his hands from mine. I thought I’m going to fall but someone caught me. I looked up to see him in front of me. He leans forward and whispered into my ears.
“What are you trying to do?”
“Just purely want you to dance with her.” I said.
“Gui, we would give her wrong signal you know.”
“I know.”
“Sigh. How should I deal with you?” He pulled me closer into his arms.
*Gui Gui’s POV*
~At night~
“Gor, are you excited about tomorrow?” Both of us are sitting at the living room, watching television programs.
“No. Why?” He turned to look at me and started leaning forward. “You have some surprise for me?”
“N..No..” I stretched out my hand to push him away.
“I thought I would get some surprise.” He pouted.
“I met Calvin on the streets just now.” He turned to look at me. “You told him already, didn’t you?” He just nodded, not giving any reply.

#15 Understands
Chapter Fifteen: Understands
*Aaron’s POV*
I went back into my room. I lay on my bed with my eyes close. My feelings got so tangled up. My head is going to crack soon. I took in a deep breath. I never knew it is so painful.
“Gor?” Gui knocked on my door. I walked to the door. I wanted to open the door but just as my hand reached out for the knob, I stopped.
“Gui, I want to be alone.” She kept silence for a few minutes.
“Ok.” I went back to my bed.
The moment I closed my eyes, she filled my mind.
~Flashback~
“Hoh! How dare you cheat me!!” I started tickling Gui.
“Ok Ok! Stop it Stop it!!” Gui started laughing non-stop. Just as I stopped, I was on top on Gui lying on the bed. Both of us looked into each other eyes. I went forward and gave her a peck on her forehead.
~Flashback 2~
“I love you. The one I love has always been you. It’s always you.” I hugged Gui tightly.
“Gui.. Gui.. I love you too.” After hearing what he said, tears flow out even more. He pushed me against the wall and started kissing me. Although it’s kind of rough but at the same time, I felt his gentle too.
~Flashback 3~
“Gor, are you ok?” I hugged her.
“Gor..”
“I’m going to die of jealousy.” I lean forward to kiss her.
“Gor, Later if mum or Uncle Yan opens the door..”
“I don’t care.” I hugged her closer to me and continued kissing her.
“I just feel like telling the whole world that we are together.”
“Gor, we can’t.”
“Why? Just because we are siblings? But we are not blood related.”
“In people eyes, we are siblings. Most importantly, I do not want to hurt Hebe nor Calvin.”
“They would still get hurt in the end.”
“Gor..” I hugged her again.
“I know. I understand. I almost flare up just now. Just because they do not know we are together, I must be with Hebe and you must go with Calvin. I do not want that. I want you to be with me only.”
“Gor, we can’t be selfish.”
“Love is selfish.”
“Aaron Yan!!”
“This is the first time you shout my name out.”
“Ok.. Sigh. I’m going back to my room.” Suddenly, Gui hugged me from the back.
“I’m sorry. I’m sorry.”
~End of Flashback~
Gui.. What will happen to me if you keep on retreating? I then realized I can’t leave without you. But our relationship is just making the both of us so painful.
*Gui Gui’s POV*
I wanted to talk to him but..
“Gui, I want to be alone.” He must be badly affected by what Mum said just now. Mum is trying to push me to other guys since she knows that I love Aaron.
“Ok.” I headed back to my room. What should of the both of us do? I never see Aaron like this before. He was never being so lost. He always knows what he is doing and what he should do. Because of my weakness, I caused him to be like this. I’m sorry. I’m sorry.
Just then, someone opened my room door and hugged me tightly.
“Don’t leave me alone.”
“Gor, I’m sorry.” I hugged him back. “I will go and tell Hebe and Calvin that we are together. We will tell everyone that we are together. But can we keep it from mum and Uncle Yan first?” I didn’t tell Aaron about what mum said that day.
~Flashback~
“He is your brother.”
“I know. But we are not blood-related.” I tried to argue.
“He is your brother.” Mum repeated. Tears started flowing down my cheeks. “Uncle Yan is a man with status. How would other people see him when they know that both of his children who are siblings become lovers? Both of you are siblings.”
~End of Flashback~
I do not know how long our relationship can be keep from them. But I didn’t want to hurt anyone. Uncle Yan treat me and my mum that well. If the relationship between me and Aaron were to hurt him, what should I do? What exactly should I do?
“Ok. We will keep it from them first.”
“I’m sorry.” He hugged me tightly.
The next morning, in school, I couldn’t bring myself to tell Hebe. She is so excited over Aaron’s birthday party, which is tomorrow night. She started saying about the chocolates that she made for Aaron for his birthday present. She is hoping to have a dance with him tomorrow night. She is getting so happy and excited. I just couldn’t bring myself to tell her.
After school, I told Aaron that I’m going out, asking to go home himself first. I have not got him a present. I walked down the streets, looking for rings.
~Flashback~
“Gor, your birthday is coming. Do you have anything that you want?”
“I want you.”
“I’m serious. Don’t joke around.”
“I’m serious too.”
“Gor..”
“Ok Ok. Let me think.”
“Can we have a ring each?”
~End of Flashback~
Ring. Ring. I walked around the estate. Just then, someone called me.
“Gui..” I looked up to see Calvin standing in front of me.
“Calvin?”
“Do you have time now? Let’s go and have a drink.” Calvin said.
“Ok.” And I followed him. Both of us entered a café. We sat at a corner seat.
“Welcome. May I take your orders?” The waitress asked.
“2 mocha. Thank you.” Calvin replied.
“What are you doing around here?” He asked.
“I’m looking for a present for Gor since his birthday is tomorrow.” I replied.
“Do you know what you want to buy for him?”
“Yea. It’s just that I have not found a suitable one.” I smiled at him. “Then what are you doing here?”
“Same as you. Getting present for Aaron.”
“Oh ok.” We kept silence for a few minutes.
“Erm.. Actually I..” I wanted to tell him but he said it earlier than me.
“I heard from Aaron already.” I looked at him.
“Heard.. Heard what?” He looked at me.
“The both of you are together.” My jaws almost dropped when I heard that. Aaron told him already.
“Calvin, I’m sorry. I..”
“You don’t have to be sorry. You didn’t tell me that you love me in the first place anyway.”
“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to keep it from you. It’s just that..” He smiled.
“Don’t worry. I’m not angry. It’s hard for the both of you too.”
“Calvin..”
“We are still friends, aren’t we?” He asked.
“Of course.” I smiled at him.
“2 mocha. Enjoy your drink.” The waitress came to serve us our drinks.
“Thank you.” I said.
“Let’s have our drink than we go and search for his present.” Calvin said.
“Sure.” I smiled. I’m glad that he understands. Even in this unacceptable love, someone still understands the both of us.

#14 Pairing Up
Chapter Fourteen: Pairing Up
*Gui Gui’s POV*
Just as they left the room, I then remembered. I promised Hebe to go out with her today. I took my phone and started dialing her number.
“Hello? Gui? What happen to you today? Why didn’t you come to school?”
“Sorry. I’m having fever. I can’t go out with you today.”
“Oh. It’s ok. I can go myself then. You better rest more.”
“Yea. I will. Sorry. Bye.”
“Bye.” I put down the phone. Sigh. I get down of the bed slowly. I have been lying on the bed for the whole day. My body is aching now. I walked out of my room and walked down the stairs slowly.
“Gui, why did you get down from the bed?” Aaron ran up to me and held onto me. He stood on my left.
“I want to get some fresh air. I have been lying on the bed for the whole day.”
“Gui, I bring you to the garden.” Calvin came up to me and held onto my right hand. I looked at Aaron and then to Calvin.
“Err..”
“Aaron, let Calvin bring Gui outside.” Mum said. She said it on purpose, didn’t she? Slowly, Aaron let go of my hand.
“Gor..” He walked away.
“Gui, let’s go.” Calvin held onto me carefully.
“Thank you.”
“You are welcome.”
*Aaron’s POV*
“They look good together, don’t they?” Auntie Wu said.
“Err.. Yea.. Somehow.” I replied reluctantly.
“Aaron, do you have a girlfriend?” I was shocked by her question.
“Err.. Ye.. No.. I don’t have.” I still said no in the end.
~Flashback~
“I just feel like telling the whole world that we are together.”
“Gor, we can’t.”
“Why? Just because we are siblings? But we are not blood related.”
“In people eyes, we are siblings. Most importantly, I do not want to hurt Hebe nor Calvin.”
“They would still get hurt in the end.”
“Gor..”
“I know. I understand. I almost flare up just now. Just because they do not know we are together, I must be with Hebe and you must go with Calvin. I do not want that. I want you to be with me only.”
“Gor, we can’t be selfish.”
~End of Flashback~
If that’s what she wanted, I will follow her decision by not saying out.
“Why don’t you find a girlfriend?” She continues to ask.
“Not now.”
“Since your birthday is coming, we organize a party for you so you can know more people. Sounds great huh? I discussed with your dad today.”
“Huh.. There isn’t a need.”
“Don’t be shy.” She smiled and walked away.
“Hey.. Auntie..” Sigh. What now? I walked out to the garden to look for Gui and Calvin.
“Gui!” I shouted for her when I saw her from a distance.
“Gor!” She smiled and started walking towards me.
“Careful.” Calvin followed beside her.
“Gor..” She came up and held onto me. I smiled at her.
“Calvin, thank you for coming. I’m fine with Gor here.”
“You sure?”
“Yea. See you in school.” He nodded and left. Gui looked at me and smiled.
“Silly girl.”
“I do not want you to get sad anymore. I told mum that I love you.”
“You what?!”
“I told mum that I love you.”
“Gui, I thought you..”
“I didn’t tell her that we are together. I just tell her that we are together. And..”
“She slapped you, didn’t she?” I reached out for her face and touched the place that is red. Gui didn’t reply. I hugged her tightly. She pushed me slightly away.
“Gor, let’s go and sit down.” Both of us walked to the nearest bench.
“Gor, your birthday is coming. Do you have anything that you want?” I looked at her.
“I want you.” I smiled at her which makes her started blushing.
“I’m serious. Don’t joke around.” She hit my chest.
“I’m serious too.” I said.
“Gor..”
“Ok Ok. Let me think.”
“Can we have a ring each?” I said.
“Gor, other people might see it.” I hugged her tightly.
“I can’t take it anymore. This is driving me crazy.”
~At night~
The 4 of us are sitting at the dining table.
“Gui, I heard that you are sick. Are you feeling better?” Dad asked.
“Yea. I’m feeling better now.”
“Dear, Aaron’s birthday is coming. Do you think we should organize a party for him?” Auntie Wu asked dad. She is serious about it.
“Sounds great. Ok.” Dad agreed to it.
“It’s time for him to get girlfriend too.” Auntie Wu continues to say. I looked at dad.
“Yea. True.” He agreed again!
“Gui, I heard from your mum that you got a boyfriend.” Dad turned to Gui. Gui was drinking soup when dad said that. She started coughing.
“Gui, are you ok?” I asked.
“Yea.” She looked at dad.
“Boyfriend? Who?”
“Who? What’s the name again?” Dad turned to Auntie Wu.
“Calvin.”
“Oh yeah. Calvin.”
“Eh? Calvin? He’s not my..”
“Gui, don’t be shy. Calvin seems to be a good guy.” Auntie Wu said.
“Huh? I..”
“I’m full already.” I stood up from the chair.
“So I confirmed that you want the birthday party.” Dad said. I didn’t reply him.
“Gor..”

“Gui, let’s go.” Calvin held onto me carefully.
“Thank you.”
“You are welcome.”
*Aaron’s POV*
“They look good together, don’t they?” Auntie Wu said.
“Err.. Yea.. Somehow.” I replied reluctantly.
“Aaron, do you have a girlfriend?” I was shocked by her question.
“Err.. Ye.. No.. I don’t have.” I still said no in the end.
~Flashback~
“I just feel like telling the whole world that we are together.”
“Gor, we can’t.”
“Why? Just because we are siblings? But we are not blood related.”
“In people eyes, we are siblings. Most importantly, I do not want to hurt Hebe nor Calvin.”
“They would still get hurt in the end.”
“Gor..”
“I know. I understand. I almost flare up just now. Just because they do not know we are together, I must be with Hebe and you must go with Calvin. I do not want that. I want you to be with me only.”
“Gor, we can’t be selfish.”
~End of Flashback~
If that’s what she wanted, I will follow her decision by not saying out.
“Why don’t you find a girlfriend?” She continues to ask.
“Not now.”
“Since your birthday is coming, we organize a party for you so you can know more people. Sounds great huh? I discussed with your dad today.”
“Huh.. There isn’t a need.”
“Don’t be shy.” She smiled and walked away.
“Hey.. Auntie..” Sigh. What now? I walked out to the garden to look for Gui and Calvin.
“Gui!” I shouted for her when I saw her from a distance.
“Gor!” She smiled and started walking towards me.
“Careful.” Calvin followed beside her.
“Gor..” She came up and held onto me. I smiled at her.
“Calvin, thank you for coming. I’m fine with Gor here.”
“You sure?”
“Yea. See you in school.” He nodded and left. Gui looked at me and smiled.
“Silly girl.”
“I do not want you to get sad anymore. I told mum that I love you.”
“You what?!”
“I told mum that I love you.”
“Gui, I thought you..”
“I didn’t tell her that we are together. I just tell her that we are together. And..”
“She slapped you, didn’t she?” I reached out for her face and touched the place that is red. Gui didn’t reply. I hugged her tightly. She pushed me slightly away.
“Gor, let’s go and sit down.” Both of us walked to the nearest bench.
“Gor, your birthday is coming. Do you have anything that you want?” I looked at her.
“I want you.” I smiled at her which makes her started blushing.
“I’m serious. Don’t joke around.” She hit my chest.
“I’m serious too.” I said.
“Gor..”
“Ok Ok. Let me think.”
“Can we have a ring each?” I said.
“Gor, other people might see it.” I hugged her tightly.
“I can’t take it anymore. This is driving me crazy.”
~At night~
The 4 of us are sitting at the dining table.
“Gui, I heard that you are sick. Are you feeling better?” Dad asked.
“Yea. I’m feeling better now.”
“Dear, Aaron’s birthday is coming. Do you think we should organize a party for him?” Auntie Wu asked dad. She is serious about it.
“Sounds great. Ok.” Dad agreed to it.
“It’s time for him to get girlfriend too.” Auntie Wu continues to say. I looked at dad.
“Yea. True.” He agreed again!
“Gui, I heard from your mum that you got a boyfriend.” Dad turned to Gui. Gui was drinking soup when dad said that. She started coughing.
“Gui, are you ok?” I asked.
“Yea.” She looked at dad.
“Boyfriend? Who?”
“Who? What’s the name again?” Dad turned to Auntie Wu.
“Calvin.”
“Oh yeah. Calvin.”
“Eh? Calvin? He’s not my..”
“Gui, don’t be shy. Calvin seems to be a good guy.” Auntie Wu said.
“Huh? I..”
“I’m full already.” I stood up from the chair.
“So I confirmed that you want the birthday party.” Dad said. I didn’t reply him.
“Gor..”
#13 Only Brother
Chapter Thirteen: Only Brother
*Gui Gui’s POV*
Unknowingly, I slept too. I do not know how long I have been sleeping but till the night, someone started tapping me to wake up. I opened my eyes slowly. As the vision gets clearer..
“Mum?”
“Shh.. Don’t wake him up.” I turned around to see Aaron still sleeping soundly beside me. I took his hand away from me and creep down from the bed slowly. I walked out of the room with my mum.
“Mum, I go back to my room.”
“I got something to talk to you. Come with me.” Both of us walked to the dining table and sat down.
“What is it, mum?”
“Firstly, I know both of you are in good relationship but both of you have already grown up. Especially you, Gui. You have grown up. You cannot always be like a child, bugging you brother. Both of you shouldn’t be sleeping together, unlike when you were still young.” I lowered down my head and nodded.
“And, did something happen between the two of you? Both of you have been acting strangely these few days.”
“It’s nothing, mum.”
“Tell me the truth.” I looked at her. Should I say? How should I say? What happen if I say?
“Mum.. I.. I love him.” I didn’t tell mum that we are together but I just tell her that I love him.
“I know you love him. Both of you are so good together since young.”
“That means we can be together?” I thought she meant this way.
“Wait. What are you talking about?” Mum looked at me.
“I.. Didn’t you just say that you know I love him?”
“As a brother, isn’t it?” It is like some thunder strike on me when she said this.
“No. I mean. I love him. Not as a brother.” Just as I finished my sentence, mum slapped me hardly on my face. I froze on the spot. She never ever slapped me so hard on me face.
“He is your brother.”
“I know. But we are not blood-related.” I tried to argue.
“He is your brother.” Mum repeated. Tears started flowing down my cheeks. “Uncle Yan is a man with status. How would other people see him when they know that both of his children who are siblings become lovers? Both of you are siblings.”
Without saying anything, I ran back to my room. I slammed the door. I lean against the door and sat on the floor. I buried myself in my arms.
‘He is your brother.’, ‘Both of you are siblings’ I cried even harder than before. Is this the answer for our relationship? Is the end for us?
~Aaron’s POV~
I opened my eyes slowly and the sunlight shone into my eyes. I touched the side of my bed. Gui isn’t here. I thought she was sleeping beside me yesterday? Am I dreaming? I get down of my bed and get washed up. I walked down the stairs and headed for the kitchen.
“Morning, Aaron.” Auntie Wu was preparing breakfast as usual.
“Where’s Gui?” I asked because I didn’t see her anywhere.
“She has not come down. She might be still sleeping.”
“I go and call her.”
“Eh..” By this time, I already ran up to her room. I knocked on her room’s door.
“Gui? Wake up already. We got to go to school already. Gui?” No one answer no matter how many times I knocked on the door.
“I’m coming in.” I pushed the door opened but it seems that something is blocking the door from opening wider. I peek thru the door.
“Gui!” I saw her lying on the floor. I squeezed myself thru the door to enter into her room.
“Gui. Gui.” I carried her up and put her on the bed. “Gui. Answer me.” She is sweating all over. “Gui!” She then slowly opened her eyes.
“Gor? Going to school already? I..” She tried to stand up but end up falling back.
“Gui!” I held on tightly to her. I touched her forehead. She’s a bit feverish.
“Gui, you are having fever. Don’t go to school today.”
“I’m fine.” She tried to stand up again.
“What happened to her?” Auntie Wu dashed up to us.
“She’s not feeling well.”
“Aaron, I will take care of her. You go to school.” She took Gui away from my arms.
“But..”
“No but. Go!” Auntie Wu pushed me out of the room. This is the first time seeing Auntie Wu being so fierce. I have no choice but to go to school. I was so distracted the whole day.
“Buddy, what’s wrong with you?” Calvin patted on my back.
“Nothing.”
“Do you want to go out? Ask Gui along.” He said.
“I’m going home. She’s sick.” I said.
“Sick?! Is it serious? I go to your house with you!” Calvin started grabbing his things.
“She’s just having fever. Her mum is looking after her.”
“Ok. Let’s go.” He took his bag and pulled me out of the classroom.
“Bye.” Jiro said. Calvin and I waved at him before leaving.
~At home~
“Auntie, how’s Gui?” Calvin asked.
“You are?”
“He’s my friend, Calvin.” I said.
“Oh. She’s fine. She’s resting in her room.”
“Can I go and see her?” Calvin asked.
“Sure.” Auntie Wu brought Calvin up to Gui’s room. I followed behind them.
“Gui, Calvin comes and visits you.” Gui looked so pale. She smiled.
“Hello. Thank you for coming.”
“How are you feeling? Are you ok?” Calvin sat beside Gui.
“Yea. I’m fine.”
“Why is your cheek so red?” Calvin asked. I looked at Gui.
“Huh? Ah? It’s nothing.” She smiled weakly. She is hiding something.
“Gui, have you eaten?” I asked. She looked at me.
“Yea. Just have porridge.”
“Ok. Let’s go down. Let Gui to take a rest.” Auntie Wu said. I walked towards Gui.
“Gor..” I sat on her bed.
“Did something happen? You are hiding something from me.” I touched her cheeks.
“Nothing. Don’t worry.” She smiled.
“Aaron, let’s go.” Auntie Wu said. I nodded at her.
“Rest well ok?” I lean forward to give a peck on her forehead. This kiss is witnessed by Auntie Wu.

#12 In Pain
Chapter Twelve: In Pain
*Gui Gui’s POV*
“Gor, are you ok?” He came forward to hug me.
“Gor..”
“I’m going to die of jealousy.” Huh?! I looked at him. He came forward and kissed me.
“Gor, Later if mum or Uncle Yan opens the door..”
“I don’t care.” He hugged me closer to him and continues kissing me. I put my arms around his neck.
“I just feel like telling the whole world that we are together.”
“Gor, we can’t.”
“Why? Just because we are siblings? But we are not blood related.”
“In people eyes, we are siblings. Most importantly, I do not want to hurt Hebe nor Calvin.”
“They would still get hurt in the end.”
“Gor..” He hugged me.
“I know. I understand. I almost flare up just now. Just because they do not know we are together, I must be with Hebe and you must go with Calvin. I do not want that. I want you to be with me only.”
“Gor, we can’t be selfish.”
“Love is selfish.”
“Aaron Yan!!”
“This is the first time you shout my name out.” I’m going to get pissed by him soon. I looked at him.
“Ok.. Sigh. I’m going back to my room.” I see his back view as he walked towards the door. I ran up to him and hugged him from the back.
“I’m sorry. I’m sorry.” I’m sorry for being weak. But I’m scared that if everyone knows that we are together, we can’t be together. I’m also scared of hurting people but I didn’t know the one I hurt most is you. He turned around and faced me. Tears started flowing. He rose up his hand to wipe off my tears. He held my cheeks and kissed me on my forehead.
“Night.” He opened the door and left my room. I’m sorry.
~Next Morning~
“Gui, are you ready? Let’s go already.” Aaron asked.
“Yea. Ready.” I took 2 more slices of bread before running to Aaron. “Bye Mum.”
“Gor..” I passed him one slice of the bread. He smiled.
“Let’s go.”
~At school~
“Gor, are you ok? Yesterday..” He put a finger on my lips.
“Don’t say already. I’m fine. Go to class now.” He patted on my head before leaving. I looked at his back view. He doesn’t look fine to me.
I headed back to my classroom. “Morning, Gui. Gui?”
“Oh. Morning Hebe.”
“Are you ok?”
“Yea.” I smiled at her.
“Gui, I thought for a long time but I still do not know what to give to Aaron. Can you go out with me tomorrow after school?”
“Huh? Oh.. Yea. Ok.”
“You seem distracted. What’s wrong?” Hebe asked.
“Nothing. I’m fine.”
~After school~
I walked out of my classroom, looking left and right. He is nowhere to be seen.
“Gui, where’s Aaron? I thought normally he would be outside waiting for you?”
“Yea. I thought so. I’m going to look for him.”
“I go with you.” She smiled. Sigh.
Both of us walked around the school. We even went to the music room but he isn’t there. Last stop – basketball court.
“Wohoo~” From far, I could hear all the cheering. With all the girls crowding at the basketball court, he should be there. Hebe and I walked towards the basketball court.
“Gui, He’s there. He’s there.” She got so excited and she started tugging my sleeves. I looked over to the basketball court. The way he plays is so.. I don’t know. Is he putting the anger or releasing his troubles onto basketball?
“Calvin!” In order to get the ball, Aaron knocked Calvin harshly which caused him to fall onto the ground and.. Score! I ran up to Calvin.
“Are you ok?”
“Yea.” Aaron turned to look at the both of us.
“Sorry.” He walked up to us and helped Calvin up.
“It’s ok. You seem troubled today. Is there anything going on?” Calvin said.
“Nothing. Gui, let’s go.” Aaron held onto my hand and pulled me along with him.
~At home~
“Gor..” Aaron walked directly back to his room.
“What happened? The both of you quarrel again?” Mum walked out of the kitchen. Just then, a loud crashing sound came out from Aaron’s room.
“I go and look at him.” I dashed up the stairs and went into his room. A glass vase shattered into pieces. He got himself cut. Blood started flowing out from his hand.
“Gor!!” I ran to him immediately. “Let’s go and wash your wound.” I pulled him into the toilet. Open the tap and let the water runs.
“Gor, what do you think you are doing?” He didn’t say anything instead, he hugged me from the back and rest his head on my shoulder.
“Gor?”
“I’m tired.” I kept quiet. I helped him to his bed. I took the first aid kit and helped him to apply medicine on his wound. He laid his head on shoulder. After 5 minutes, no movement. After 10 minutes, still no movement. I looked down and saw him fallen asleep on my shoulder. Slowly, I pushed him onto the bed. I stretched out my hand to touch his face.
“I’m sorry.” I said. Drop of tears came flowing down from my eyes. Has my love made everyone feeling stress out? Especially him.
Just as I stood up from the bed, he held onto to my hand.
“Don’t leave.” He pulled me onto his bed and cuddles me into his arms.
“Gor..”
“Shh.. Sleep..”
*Gui Gui’s POV*
“Gor, are you ok?” He came forward to hug me.
“Gor..”

“They would still get hurt in the end.”
“Gor..” He hugged me.

“Gor, we can’t be selfish.”
“Love is selfish.”
“Aaron Yan!!”
“This is the first time you shout my name out.” I’m going to get pissed by him soon. I looked at him.
“Ok.. Sigh. I’m going back to my room.” I see his back view as he walked towards the door. I ran up to him and hugged him from the back.

#11 Jealousy
Chapter Eleven: Jealousy
*Gui Gui’s POV*
“Gui, what do you want to eat later?” Calvin asked while driving. He has been asking me a lot of questions the moment I sat in his car.
“Anything is fine.”
“What do you like to eat?”
“Ah? Nothing in particular.”
“What do you always do when you are free?”
“Play the piano with Gor.”
“Speaking of Aaron, every time I ask him to get a girlfriend, he wouldn’t want to. Since you are so close to him, do you know what type of girls he likes? Your friend, Hebe seems to like him.”
“Err.. I don’t know.”
“Gui, What do you think of me?”
“Huh?”
“What do you think of me?”
“I.. I think you are nice and you sing well.”
“That’s all?”
“Ye.. Yea..” I started to get very nervous. Why is he asking me so many questions?
“Are you feeling very cold? You seem to be shaking.” He put his hand on mine. I quickly take my hands away.
“I’m fine.” I smiled at him. Oh gosh. Gor, why can’t I sit in your car? This is making me so tense up. Since Calvin is asking me so many questions, will Hebe do the same thing to you? What will the both of you talk in the car? I started to get worried.
“Do you know how to skate?”
“Nope. Gor didn’t teach me.”
“Don’t worry. I will teach you later.”
“Ah? Don’t need to trouble you. Gor can teach me.” I tried to reject him but..
“It’s ok. Let’s give me some time to spend with Hebe.”
“AH?!”
“Is there something wrong?”
“No. Nothing.” Spend some time with Hebe. What am I suppose to do now?
“Ok. Here we are.” I get down the car. At the same time, Aaron got down of the car too. Both of us looked at each other.
“Let’s go, Gui.” I nodded at Calvin. He held onto my hand and pulled me along with him. I wanted to pull my hand back but his grip is too tight. I turned around to look at Aaron who is walking behind me. He seems that he is going to flare up anytime. He kept very quiet throughout the meal.
“Gui, eat more. Eat more.” Calvin kept on putting food onto my plate.
“Err.. Enough Enough. I can’t finish.” My plate piled up with lots of food. I took a peek at Aaron.
“Gor, can you help me eat some? I can’t finish.” He looked at me.
“Please?” I looked at Calvin and back to me. He nodded.
“Yea!” I started putting half of the food onto his plate. After I’m satisfied with the size of the portion on my plate, I started eating happily.
“Silly girl.” Aaron patted my head and I smiled at him. Calvin seems a little unhappy about it but he didn’t say much either.
After eating, we went to the skating ground. We change onto our skating shoe.
“Gui, let’s go.”
“Eh.. Eh..” I wanted to be with Aaron but Calvin pulled me away.
“Ah!!” Scary scary..
“Don’t worry. I’m here.” He said. I smiled weakly at him. I looked in front and saw Aaron teaching Hebe how to skate. Looking at the both of them, I felt kind of sad.
“They look great together, don’t they?” Calvin caught me looking at them.
“Ye.. Yea..” I didn’t want to agree to it. “I think I can skate on my own already.”
“You sure?”
“Yea.” I let go of Calvin’s hand and went skating on my own. Actually, I’m still not stable in skating but I just want to be alone for while. I’m had been focusing on my legs to see the steps that I’m taking and not noticing him.
“Ouch.” The man knocked into me causing me to fall to the ground. Pain pain. It feels as if my left arm is going to fall apart.
“Gui!”
“Gor..”
“Are you ok?”
“Yea. Kind of.” Aaron took my hand and helped me up.
“Are you sure you are ok? Let’s go and rest.” He tried to pull me out of the skating ground.
“I’m fine. Aren’t you teaching Hebe how to skate?” I said.
“I saw you being knocked down, of course I will rush to you first.” I looked at Aaron. I’m so touched.
“Gui, are you ok?” Calvin skated towards us.
“Yea.”
“I should not have let you skate alone.” Calvin started blaming himself.
“No No. I’m fine. So you don’t have to blame yourself.”
“Sorry.”
“It’s ok.” Hebe skated towards us.
“Gui, are you ok?”
“Yea.” I looked at her. “You skate well.”
“Thanks to Aaron.” And she smiled sweetly, looking at Aaron.
“Gui, Let’s go home.”
“Huh?” I looked at Aaron. “Oh ok.” He held onto my hand, leading me out of the skating ground. He did really skate well.
“Calvin, help me send Hebe back.” I said. He nodded.
“Jiro, Selina, we are going back first.” Aaron shouted to them.
“Ok! Bye!”
Both of us headed to his car and back home. I went back to my room to get a bath.
Just as I finished bathing, someone knocked on my door.
“I’m coming in.” Aaron pushed the door opened.
“Gor..”
“Does your arm still hurt?”
“Nope. It’s fine already.” I smiled to him. But he doesn’t seem right.
“Gor, are you ok?” He came forward to hug me.
“Gor..”
“I’m going to die of jealousy.” Huh?!
*Gui Gui’s POV*
“Gui, what do you want to eat later?” Calvin asked while driving. He has been asking me a lot of questions the moment I sat in his car.
“Anything is fine.”
“What do you like to eat?”
“Ah? Nothing in particular.”
“What do you always do when you are free?”
“Play the piano with Gor.”
“Speaking of Aaron, every time I ask him to get a girlfriend, he wouldn’t want to. Since you are so close to him, do you know what type of girls he likes? Your friend, Hebe seems to like him.”
“Err.. I don’t know.”
“Gui, What do you think of me?”
“Huh?”
“What do you think of me?”
“I.. I think you are nice and you sing well.”
“That’s all?”
“Ye.. Yea..” I started to get very nervous. Why is he asking me so many questions?
“Are you feeling very cold? You seem to be shaking.” He put his hand on mine. I quickly take my hands away.
“I’m fine.” I smiled at him. Oh gosh. Gor, why can’t I sit in your car? This is making me so tense up. Since Calvin is asking me so many questions, will Hebe do the same thing to you? What will the both of you talk in the car? I started to get worried.
“Do you know how to skate?”
“Nope. Gor didn’t teach me.”
“Don’t worry. I will teach you later.”
“Ah? Don’t need to trouble you. Gor can teach me.” I tried to reject him but..
“It’s ok. Let’s give me some time to spend with Hebe.”
“AH?!”
“Is there something wrong?”
“No. Nothing.” Spend some time with Hebe. What am I suppose to do now?
“Ok. Here we are.” I get down the car. At the same time, Aaron got down of the car too. Both of us looked at each other.
“Let’s go, Gui.” I nodded at Calvin. He held onto my hand and pulled me along with him. I wanted to pull my hand back but his grip is too tight. I turned around to look at Aaron who is walking behind me. He seems that he is going to flare up anytime. He kept very quiet throughout the meal.
“Gui, eat more. Eat more.” Calvin kept on putting food onto my plate.
“Err.. Enough Enough. I can’t finish.” My plate piled up with lots of food. I took a peek at Aaron.
“Gor, can you help me eat some? I can’t finish.” He looked at me.
“Please?” I looked at Calvin and back to me. He nodded.
“Yea!” I started putting half of the food onto his plate. After I’m satisfied with the size of the portion on my plate, I started eating happily.
“Silly girl.” Aaron patted my head and I smiled at him. Calvin seems a little unhappy about it but he didn’t say much either.
After eating, we went to the skating ground. We change onto our skating shoe.
“Gui, let’s go.”
“Eh.. Eh..” I wanted to be with Aaron but Calvin pulled me away.
“Ah!!” Scary scary..
“Don’t worry. I’m here.” He said. I smiled weakly at him. I looked in front and saw Aaron teaching Hebe how to skate. Looking at the both of them, I felt kind of sad.
“They look great together, don’t they?” Calvin caught me looking at them.
“Ye.. Yea..” I didn’t want to agree to it. “I think I can skate on my own already.”
“You sure?”
“Yea.” I let go of Calvin’s hand and went skating on my own. Actually, I’m still not stable in skating but I just want to be alone for while. I’m had been focusing on my legs to see the steps that I’m taking and not noticing him.
“Ouch.” The man knocked into me causing me to fall to the ground. Pain pain. It feels as if my left arm is going to fall apart.
“Gui!”
“Gor..”
“Are you ok?”
“Yea. Kind of.” Aaron took my hand and helped me up.
“Are you sure you are ok? Let’s go and rest.” He tried to pull me out of the skating ground.
“I’m fine. Aren’t you teaching Hebe how to skate?” I said.
“I saw you being knocked down, of course I will rush to you first.” I looked at Aaron. I’m so touched.
“Gui, are you ok?” Calvin skated towards us.
“Yea.”
“I should not have let you skate alone.” Calvin started blaming himself.
“No No. I’m fine. So you don’t have to blame yourself.”
“Sorry.”
“It’s ok.” Hebe skated towards us.
“Gui, are you ok?”
“Yea.” I looked at her. “You skate well.”
“Thanks to Aaron.” And she smiled sweetly, looking at Aaron.
“Gui, Let’s go home.”
“Huh?” I looked at Aaron. “Oh ok.” He held onto my hand, leading me out of the skating ground. He did really skate well.
“Calvin, help me send Hebe back.” I said. He nodded.
“Jiro, Selina, we are going back first.” Aaron shouted to them.
“Ok! Bye!”
Both of us headed to his car and back home. I went back to my room to get a bath.
Just as I finished bathing, someone knocked on my door.
“I’m coming in.” Aaron pushed the door opened.
“Gor..”
“Does your arm still hurt?”
“Nope. It’s fine already.” I smiled to him. But he doesn’t seem right.
“Gor, are you ok?” He came forward to hug me.
“Gor..”
“I’m going to die of jealousy.” Huh?!
#10 Oh No.
Chapter Ten: Oh No.
*Gui Gui’s POV*
~At school~
When I see Hebe, I have this urged to tell her. But every time as the words are going to come out from my mouth, I swallow them back. Sigh.
“Ok. Let’s get ready to do warm up.” First lesson, physical education.
“1234 2234 3234 4234..” Everyone doesn’t seem to be concentrating including Hebe. What are they looking at? I turned to the direction that they are looking at.
Aaron took the ball, taking a leap, avoiding the blockings, score!!!
“Wohoo!!!” The girls from my class started cheering. The cheering caught his attention. He looked towards my direction and smiled. I returned the smile.
“AH! Gui, did you see that? Did you see that?” Hebe started shaking me vigorously.
“Ye.. Yea.. I saw that. Stop shaking me.”
“Oh. Sorry about that.” She started smiling sweetly to herself.
“Hey. What are you all doing?” Our physical education teacher started shouting at us. But still, no one seems to concentrating. People are more attracted to Aaron’s class. After half an hour, we finally finished out warm up.
“Ok. Free games now.” The teacher left us alone. I guess he gave up in teaching since none of us are listening to him. The guys in my class went to play basketball too. For the girls, it’s impossible for them to play sports now. All of them ran to the other basketball court where Aaron is.
“Gui, let’s go too.” Hebe started pulling me to the court too. Just as we reached there..
“Beep~ Change team.”
“Aw…” The girls got disappointed including Hebe.
“I thought I could see him play. I only managed to see one shot just now.” Hebe sounded disappointed.
“We still have chance to see him play.” I said, trying to cheer her up.
“Oh yea. He’s your brother right? So next time if he is playing basketball outside with his friends, can you bring me along?”
“Eh Eh??”
“Please?”
“Oh oo..okk..”
“Great!” She smiled.
“Gui, you came to find me?” I turned around to see Calvin standing in front of me.
“Ah? I..”
“Yea. She did.” Hebe then pushed me towards Calvin. My whole body flew towards him. Just when I’m going to react, I’m already in his arms.
“Ah! Sorry Sorry.” I quickly pushed him away. “Hebe!” I glared at Hebe and she started giggling.
“Gui.” I turned to see Aaron walking towards us. Did he saw that? I hope he didn’t. But his expression doesn’t look good. He saw that, didn’t he?
“Gor!!” I ran up to him, smiling sweetly.
“Water.” Oh. I passed him the bottle that I’m holding onto. When Aaron is drinking my bottle, the girls that are around the court started mumbling.
“Ah.. Aaron drank from her bottle. Envy.”
“They are only brother and sister ok? What are you thinking?” The girl knocked the other girl’s forehead. Brother and sister.. I do not whether to be happy a not. Whatever we do, no one would ever suspect or found out that we are lovers because in their eyes, we are siblings. But somehow, I wouldn’t want it that way. I rather they are jealous of us of being close because we are lovers.
“What are you thinking?” Aaron asked. I then realized he has being looking at me.
“Nothing.” He smiled and bends forward. Eh?! My heart started beating fast.
“G..Gor..” He whispered into my ears. “Don’t care about what they are saying because you will always be mine.” And he smiled.
“Ok! Times up. Class gathers.” His teacher shouted across the court.
“Ok. Got to go.” He passed me back the bottle. He gave me a peck on my forehead. “See you after school.” And he gave me a wink. What is he trying to do?! I turned around and saw Calvin and Hebe looking at me.
“Err.. Ya??”
“Both of you..” Did they found out anything??!! No!!!
“Both of you are sure in good relationship!” Calvin smiled.
“Oh..” I smiled at them. Luckily, they did not found out anything.
“Calvin!” Aaron called out to Calvin.
“Ok. Coming! Got to go. Bye.” Calvin chased up to Aaron. As Calvin left, Hebe and I headed back to the classroom.
“Gui, Can I ask you something?”
“Yea?”
“What does Aaron like? You are his sister, you should know right?”
“Huh? I..”
“You should know right? Please help me. His birthday is coming and I do not know what to give him. Since you all are rich, I doubt he is lacking anything but.. I still hope to give him something.” Birthday? Oh ya! How can I forget! His birthday is on Friday, which is 4 days later. Yea. He doesn’t seems to be lacking anything.
“Yea. Us too. What does Aaron like?” Eh?? Practically, all the girls in my class started coming to ask me too.
“I.. I don’t know.”
“How possible? Both of you are siblings right?” One of the girls said.
“Ye..Yea..” What should I say? “I think he’s fine with anything. He will like anything that you all give him.”
“Serious??!!” They sounded happy after I said that.
“Ye.. Yea..” They then happily walked back to their seats.
“Gui, you sure that he will like anything?” Hebe asked again.
“Yea. I’m sure.” Sigh.
~After school~
Finally school ends. I stood up and do some stretching exercise.
“Gui, are you very tired?” I turned around and see Aaron behind him. “Sorry. Did I scare you?”
“When did you arrive?”
“When you are stretching.” He smiled. This made me kind of embarrassed.
“Ready to go? They are waiting for us.”
“They? Who?”
“Calvin and the rest.”
“Eh? Are we going out?”
“Yea.” I turned to look at Hebe. “Can Hebe come along too?” I looked at Aaron. He seems to be hesitating. This should be the case because he knows that Hebe likes him.
“If you want. I wait for you outside.” He then walked out of my class. He sounded a bit reluctant.
“Yea!! Gui, let’s go. Faster.” Hebe hook onto my arms and pulled me out of the classroom. Aaron followed behind us.
“ Hi, Gui!” Calvin came up to me.
“Hi. Where are we going?” I asked him.
“Ice Skating!! Sounds great huh? But before that, let’s go eat first.” Calvin said. Calvin held my hand and pulls me towards his car.
“Eh..”
“Aaron, let Gui sit in my car.” He shouted to Aaron and pushed me into his car. I looked at Aaron. His fist started clutching up.
“Let’s go, Hebe.” Aaron walked to his car with Hebe following him.
“Let’s go.” Calvin came into the car. I smiled weakly at him and looked out of the window.

#9 Together
Chapter Nine: Together
*Gui Gui’s POV*
Next morning, I walked down of the stair restlessly.
“Gui, what happened to you? What exactly happened to the both of you?” My mum said. What she meant by ‘both of you’? I turned to look at Aaron who is sitting at the dining table. He doesn’t seem to have any energy too.
“Nothing, Mum.” I pulled the chair out and sit beside Aaron.
“Did something happen yesterday?” Mum continues to ask.
“I’m full.” Aaron stood up and walked away.
“Aaron..” Both of us looked at him as he walked up the stairs.
“Gui, what exactly happened?”
“Nothing, Mum. Stop asking.” I stood up from the chair and headed to the living room. I wasn’t paying attention to the television programs although I’m staring at the television screen.
“Gui, I’m going out for a while.”
“Ok.” After mum went out, I switch off the television. Just as I stood up, I heard this same tune again. I walked up to the piano room. I stood in front of the room. Why this tune does feels so different? Why my heart feels so hurt out of a sudden? I reached out for the door knob, hesitating whether to open a not. Just as I have decided to open the door, the door opened revealing his face. I held out my hand to touch his face. Tears started forming and flow out. I hugged him tightly.
“I love you. The one I love has always been you. It’s always you.” I did not know where my courage comes from but I know if I do not say now, I would not have that courage anymore. He hugged me tightly.
“Gui.. Gui.. I love you too.” After hearing what he said, tears flow out even more. He pushed me against the wall and started kissing me. Although it’s kind of rough but at the same time, I felt his gentle too.
Both of us went to sit at the living room. I lie on his shoulder.
“Gor..” He turned to look at me. “Why do you love me?” He smiled.
“It’s a secret.” I pouted. “Then why do love me too?”
“Since your answer is a secret, then, it’s a secret too.” He laughed.
“What’s so funny?”
“You looked cute with that expression.” And he started leaning towards me.
“Gui, help me with the things.” Mum shouted from the door. Aaron and I quickly bounce away from each other.
“Coming.” Both of us went to the door.
“Auntie, I help you with it.” Aaron went forward to take the bags from mum.
“Eh? Both of you recovered. So fast?” Mum looked at me with a suspicious look.
“Nothing mum. It’s only morning blues.” I quickly ran up to Aaron.
“Gui, do you want to go out today?” Aaron asked.
“Sure.” I smiled at him. Both of us helped mum with the packing of grocery before leaving the house.
“Are the both of you coming back for dinner?”
“Yea.” Aaron replied. “Bye.”
We walked out of the house and down the streets. We didn’t intend to go anywhere but just wanting to be together only.
“Gor, look at that. It’s so cute.” I pull him over into the shop. The shop is filled with soft toys.
“Do you like it? I buy for you.”
“Nope. It’s ok.” I smiled at him. I walked around the shop. I lay my eyes on this necklace. It’s a heart shape necklace with a star dangling inside the heart. It’s so beautiful.
“It’s beautiful.” Aaron stood beside me.
“Yea.”
“Miss, can I have this necklace?” Aaron signals the shop assistant that he is going to buy this necklace.
“Gor..”
He just smiled at me. He went to the cashier and paid for the necklace.
“For you.” He passed me the box. Inside the box, it is the necklace.
“I put it on for you.” He took the necklace from the box and put it on for me. “Must always wear it ok?” I nodded.
“Let’s go.” We continue walking down the streets. Although there isn’t any surprises or any romantic happenings, just purely shopping, but as long as I’m with him, I would just get happy.
“Gor, there is a cake shop!” I ran towards to the cake and pressed my face against the glass. This fruit cake just attracts me.
“Gor, can I get one?” He smiled.
“Of course. Which one do you want?” I pointed at the fruit cake. “This one.”
He walked into the shop and order the fruit cake. He then came out of the shop with a box.
“You bought the whole cake?”
“Yea. Let’s bring home to share with dad and Auntie Wu.” I nodded. I slot my hand into his. I smiled at him.
“Let’s go.” We walked hand in hand home.
“Mum, we are back.”
“Welcome home.” Mum walked out of the kitchen.
“Auntie Wu, we bought cake.”
“What cake is it?”
“Fruit cake!” I replied. Mum smiled.
“Ok. Go and take a bath. Get ready to have dinner.”
“Ok.” Aaron and I walked back to our respective rooms.
After bathing, I walked down to the kitchen. “Welcome home, Uncle Yan.”
“Oh, Gui. Come and sit down.” I pull the chair beside Aaron.
“Gui, when do you have that necklace?” Mum asked. She spotted the necklace.
“I just bought it when we went out.” I said. I looked at Aaron and he smiled at me.
~At night~
I was lying on my bed. I looked at the necklace and smiled. Just to think of it. How am I supposed to tell Hebe that I’m with Aaron now? What about Calvin? ARGH!! So vexed. I started rolling on the bed. What should I do? She’s my best friend. I wouldn’t want to hurt her. But.. I can’t hide my feelings and hurt Aaron too. Then Calvin.. AH!! Stop thinking. Stop thinking! Sleep.

#8 Don’t you know?
Chapter Eight: Don’t you know?
*Aaron’s POV*
“Gui, there you go.” I looked at Calvin. Does he have feelings for Gui too?
“Err.. Thank.. Thank you..” Gui took the plates of food from me and Calvin.
“Hebe, yours.” I passed the other plate of food that I’m holding to Hebe.
“Thank you!” I smiled at her.
Just as I took a few steps, I heard Hebe telling Gui, “Calvin seems to be interested in you.” It seems so too. I continued walking back the pit.
Just after 5 minutes, this tune.. Everyone seems to hear it too. I walked back into the house. It’s really her. I stood in front of the room.
“Ah. I’m sorry. I saw the piano so I..” I smile at her and walked to sit beside her. I played the keys at the right of the piano and she played the keys at the left of the piano. Just as the melody ends, they clapped.
*Gui Gui’s POV*
“Both of you sure have chemistry.” Jiro said. I smiled shyly.
“Jiro, join in with your guitar.” Aaron said while starting to play the song again.
“Sure.” Jiro went to take the guitar which is lying on the wall.
“I should say that Jiro and Aaron have more chemistry together.” Selina said.
“I agree too.” I said excitingly.
“Ok. Let’s all get out and eat.” Aaron stood up and walked out of the room. I went to the pit and started barbequing. Aaron stood opposite of me.
“Ouch.” I accidently lay my hand on the pit.
“Gui, are you ok?” Aaron immediately came beside me.
“It’s all red. You don’t barbeque already.” He took all the tongs away from my hand. He made me sit down.
“Gor, I want to barbeque.”
“No.”
“Gui, I helped you. What you want to barbeque?” Hebe said while walking towards the pit. I guess she should be happy to be able to stand so close to Aaron.
“Anything will do.” I replied. I sat there looking at the both of them. They seem to be chatting happily. My mood went all the way down.
“Gui, I have this cream. Apply on your wound.” Calvin walked up to me and passes me a tube of cream.
“Thank you.” I took over the tube of cream.
“I help you apply.” Calvin took the cream away from my hand and applies the medicine for me. I turned to look at Aaron. He is looking at the both of us. I immediately take my hand away from Calvin.
“I can apply myself.” I smiled at him.
“Aaron, the chicken wings are burnt.” Hebe nudged Aaron.
“Oh Oh. Sorry Sorry.” He took the burnt chicken wings and placed it onto a plate. He got distracted because of me, is it?
We stayed till around 11pm at night before leaving.
“Bye. Thank you for inviting.” I told Calvin.
He smiled. “See you in school.” He patted my head.
“Bye.”
We send Hebe home before heading back home. When we reached, I was about to get down the car before Aaron called out for me.
“Gui..” I turned to look at him. He looked so serious. It kind of scares me off.
“Do you like Calvin?” Aaron asked. What should I say?
*Aaron’s POV*
~Flashback~
“Aaron, your sister looks kind of cute.” He started smiling to himself.
“Why?”
“I kind of like her.” Calvin said.
“You what?!” Is this some kind of joke or what?
“Why are you so agitated? Relax. I say. I kind of like your sister.”
“No. You cannot like her.”
“Why not?”
“Because.. Because..” Because I love her.
“Can’t answer? So I can woo her right? No objections?” He smiled to himself and walked away.
~End of Flashback~
I turned to look at her. “Do you like him?” Please say no. Please say no.
“Gor, do you know that Hebe likes you?” I was shocked by her words.
“She what?!”
“She is a very nice girl. Both of you seem to communicate well. Moreover, she is pretty, smart, caring and she..”
I cut off her sentence, not wanting her to continue. “But I don’t love her.” Both of us kept silence for a while.
“Don’t you know how I feel?” I broke off the silence. I looked at her. She starts to bite her lower lips. “Let’s go home.” I opened the door and stepped out of the car. I headed for the house with her walking behind me. I lied on my bed with my eyes close. How much I wish, we aren’t siblings. It’s so hard to become lovers when we are siblings in people eyes. I can’t say out loud that I love her. I can’t stop people from loving her because I do not have the reason to do so – just because we are siblings. Tears begin to flow out from the corner of me eyes. Why is it so hard? Why is my heart feeling so painful now?
‘She is a very nice girl. Both of you seem to communicate well. Moreover, she is pretty, smart, caring and she..’ Is Gui backing off and pushing me to Hebe?

“But I don’t love her.”
“Don’t you know how I feel?”
~End of Flashback~
‘Don’t you know how I feel?’, ‘Don’t you know how I feel?’ I hugged onto my teddy bears tightly. I know. I know. Because I feel the same as you do. I hurt him. I hurt him, didn’t I? Tears started rolling down from my eyes. I buried myself into the pillow to prevent my crying sound to be heard.
*Aaron’s POV*
“Gui, there you go.” I looked at Calvin. Does he have feelings for Gui too?
“Err.. Thank.. Thank you..” Gui took the plates of food from me and Calvin.
“Hebe, yours.” I passed the other plate of food that I’m holding to Hebe.
“Thank you!” I smiled at her.
