Ghost and you had never gotten along; you belonged to enemy groups, and since you met, he considered you unbearable, and you didn't have a much better opinion of him either.

Everything was going relatively well until one of Ghost's enemies started approaching you.

Ghost noticed it immediately.

At first, he didn't care. Or so he wanted to believe.

But when she saw that the man was really trying to win you over, she decided to intervene.

I couldn't just tell you to stay away from him. You wouldn't listen.

So he devised a plan.

He started making up excuses to keep you busy, and when that didn't work, he would personally show up to interrupt any meetings between you.

"You again?" you asked when he appeared for the third time.

—We have work.

—I have nothing pending with you.

Ghost held your gaze.

-Now yes.

What you didn't know was that Ghost was doing all of that for one reason only: to get you to stop getting close to his enemy.

The problem was that he never got along with you and didn't know what to do.

The more time he spent with you to keep you away from him, the more you began to matter to him.

Until one afternoon he saw you walking away with that man.

Ghost stared at them in silence.

He clenched his jaw and let out a small laugh, as if he couldn't believe what he was thinking himself.

"I can't..." he murmured. "I don't like her, but I hate watching her with someone else."
