School activity finally arrived.

Everyone is exited, and the other students from other schools who will be joining the school activities also arrived.

"I've noticed your eyes wondering around, are you looking for someone?"

Owen is just sitting at the back of the stage when Steven approach him. He was actually looking for Leon. After the conversation that time, the two didn't talk after. Leon was busy to his modelling, and Owen to his dance practice. At night, Owen sleep first before Leon arrived from his work. And in the morning, he will awake without Leon in the house.

"No, are you ready?" He changed the topic.

Leon said he will make him fall for him but he can't even give him time for them to eat together even just one time everyday. What a joke!.

"I am.." Steven leaned closer and give him a kiss on his forehead. "You're cute." He said.

"Enough teasing, someone might see us." He averted his gaze.

They are indeed in a relationship but they chose to keep it a secret from others except Leon of course.

"You guys are here.." The voice of their professor.

"Good morning sir. Are we going to perform now?" Steven asked.

Before the games start, an opening program must be held.

"Yes! The principal is now greeting all the participants from other schools. You guys are next, so follow me."

They followed him. Steven is holding his hand and he allows it. They have to holding hands while entering the stage. After the principal's speech they heard the MC introducing them.

"Ready?" Steven asked again.

Owen chuckled before answering. "Yes.. I am.. Haha."

The music starts and Steven started pulling him like the one that they practiced. Below the stage, Owen noticed Leon sitting in the front.. Beside, Angelica.

"What a liar!" He murmured.

Because of irritation, he dances with all of his emotions according to what they practice. The theme is Escaping from painful love. Everyone is amazed when they saw Owen crying while dancing.

"We didn't talk about you crying.. What happened?" Steven asked him while he was hugging him.

Owen didn't say a word.. He just pushed Steven according to the steps of dance. He then run away from him but Steven catches him and he put his left hand on his stomach and the right hand is in the side of his head. The last step is to let Steven kiss his neck while Owens hand must pull Steven to nuzzle his head in his neck.

A loud screaming echoes inside the gym. And when they separated, Owen's eyes landed to Leon. The two stare at each other, and he saw Leon leave his seat followed by Angelica. He bit his lower lip and just bow his head before leaving the stage.

"That was great.." He heard Steven talking but his mind is busy wondering.

Leon and Angelica.. Is there something between the two now? Since when? Then why did Leon say those words if he actually didn't mean it? He gritted his teeth and clenched his fist.

"Wanna go somewhere else?" He pulled Steven even he haven't answered yet.

"To where?" Steven chuckled but follow.

"Somewhere private." He said.

He's pulling him when he suddenly stopped. Steven also stopped.

"What.." Steven words stock on his throat when he noticed the two people 10 meters away from them, the distance of the two to each other is very close. And it's very obvious, the two is actually kissing.

"Owen!" Leon noticed them and pushed Angelica.

Owen didn't answer and just tilted his head without any emotions in his eyes. He has a boyfriend, yes. So he can't be jealous this time, Leon is single, and if he decided to be with Angelica, he can't stop him. He's the one who started to draw the line between them. If Leon finally realized that he can't like him then, let it be.

"Congratulations!" He just said. "Let's go.." He then pulled Steven again.

"I'll follow you later.. Let me talk with him first."

Owen didn't answer.. He just leave and let the two talk.

"Owen, wait!" He heard Leon call up for him.

"Stop. Don't follow him anymore." Steven blocked his way.

"Leave..." His lips didn't apart when he said it.

"Don't you know, Before I became Owen's boyfriend.. We made a bet."

"What?!"

"If he noticed that you really like Angelica he will become my Boyfriend. And it happened. But before that part, Owen's heart is actually owned by you. He asked me to help him to forget you. But now, that he saw you with that girl.. I won. He promised me to forget you and choose me instead. "

Steven tapped Leon's shoulder and whispered.

"Stay away from him, from now on. I was just helping him before but I changed my mind now. I.. Will make him mine"

He then, left the man who became stiffened. Owen like him? He gasps.. He started to make his steps to follow the two.

"Leon!" Angelica stopped him.

Due to his anger, he grabbed the girl's cheeks and squeeze it.

"If you don't distance yourself from me.. I will make you regret it for the rest of your life!" He then release the girl who stumbled herself and dropped down to the ground.

Leon followed the two but can't find them.

"Damn it! Where are they?!" His heart is beating too fast. "Owen.. " he whispered his name while running.

"Leon! The professor is looking for you.." His co-player grabbed his arm.

Leon squinted, he want to find Owen but he can't ignore their professor. He was going to follow his co-player when he saw Owen and Steven. The two is walking towards the Steven's car. Without thinking, Leon pulled his arm and run towards the two.

"Owen.. Let's talk." He said, when he grabbed his arm.

"Let go.." Owen said. His eyes is empty and there's a tears left in the corner.

Leon's chest tightened. He forcibly pulled Owen to his arms.
