Ace has no idea what to do anymore. He leans against the car, stands still, paces back and forth, but nothing seems to calm him down.
After a while, he forces his fragile legs back into Xiao Jun's car.
Slowly, he drives to Xiao Jun's house. Xiao Jun had moved back with his father, unable to ignore the man's plea to keep him company.
After Xiao Jun's mother died, Jun and his father had been on their own.
Actually, Jun is a half-caste; his mother was American. After her death, Jun never got close to anyone, choosing instead to stay away from his friends.
But then, he met Ace, who made him realize that losing a parent doesn't mean it's the end of the world.
Ace showed him that even in grief, one can still find moments of happiness, no matter how hard it is.

Ace grips the steering wheel, his trembling hands struggling to hold steady. Tears won't stop streaming down his face, blurring his vision as he drives in silence.
