When Owen got out of the shower room. He saw Owen sitting quietly in front of the table. His eyes is following his move like he's observing him and trying to get some answers for the questions inside his mind.
"Drop it already, what is it?" Owen feel a bit irritated this time.
"Nothing" Leon said and look away.
Owen tilted his head but didn't say a word. He just walk towards the table and occupied the vacant chair and they started eating. After eating without talking, Owen cleaned the kitchen and went to bed after. Leon, on the other hand is taking his bath. Laying in bed while playing his phone, Owen heard the door open and close at the same time. Leon finished his bathing. He's phone ringing and Steven calling.
" Yes?" Owen answered.
"I forgot to ask you, What snacks should I buy tomorrow?"
Owen smile after hearing those. He even chuckled.
"You called just to ask me that?" He asked.
"Well, yes. Is that bad?" Steven voice sounds he's also smiling.
"Nope! It's fine." He answered.
Owen suddenly pause when he feels the hands hugging him. It's Leon. He's already beside him.
"Who's that?" Leon asked.
Owen is about to answer that question when the guy on the line asked the same question as Leon.
"Oh! His my best friend Leon."
Leon frowned when he didn't get an answer so he pulled Owen more closer to him.
"You two sleep together in the same bed?" Steven asked.
"Well yeah, we always like this ever since. Our families are friends so it's normal for us to sleep like this, but I'm actually planning to move out and find a Vacant room to rent." Owen said without giving attention to Leon.
"Damn it!"
Owen is surprised for Leons swearing so he look at him. He saw him looks angry at him.
"Steven, I think we can talk again tomorrow. Thank you for calling."
He ended the call before Steven say a words. And face Leon.
"What's wrong with you?" He squinted while asking.
"What's wrong with me?" Leon asked him back.
"I don't know what's going on your mind but let me sleep, I'm tired." He turned his back to Leon and close his eyes to sleep.
After a couple of minutes Leon speaks again.
"You're seriously leaving?"
"En." Owen answered.
"Why?"
"I already explained that to you this morning."
"Just that?"
Owen bit his lips and didn't answer. So Leon hug him from behind again and to his surprised, Leon bite his nape. He shouted in pain.
"Ugh! What the fuck?! What's wrong with you?!" He turned to look at him.
"You didn't answer my question so I bite you with frustration. Goodnight!"
Leon angrily turned his back at him and covered himself with blanket.
"The hell?" Owen swear in his mind while holding his nape.
Next morning..
"Where is Leon?" Louis is asking him.
He got in school earlier that Leon. They didn't talk this morning and until now.
"I don't know." He answered.
Louis didn't ask him more. He just get back to his sit.
"Guys!!!!" One of his classmates is shouting while running.
"What?!" The class shouted back.
"We have a new transfer! And you know what?! She's so fu*king beautiful! I saw her!"
Owen and his classmates remain silent for just a moment then Louis reacted first.
"Are you certain?" He asked.
"Yes!! And even Leon is escorting her to here!"
Owen flinched. Leon aren't type of person to escort a girl because he never like spending time with girls but, what does he heard?
"Speaking of them.."
Everyone turn their heads to look at the door, Leon entered the room with the girl, and he is holding the girl hand. Owen chocked by his own saliva, his chest started to throbbing and he can hardly breath all of a sudden. This girl.. He also knew this girl.
"Angelica Bright.." He murmured.
"Owen! Is that you?!" The girl saw him and shouted his name.
Their classmates is all shocked too. Owen is trying hard to conceal his feelings right now so he smiled and stands up.
"Angie! " he said while waiting for the girl who is now running towards him.
They hug each other and his eyes locked to Leon. He is smiling and looks so happy. While Owen is in deep pain. This is the girl that Leon's like.
"Welcome back.." He said with the forced smile on his lips.
"I missed you!" The girl looks so happy too.
Owen smiled as a response. Leon walks towards them and prepare the seat for Angelica. His full attention is on her for all day.
Owen and Leon still on a cold war and no one seems want to talk first so the cold War continues.
"It seems your on a deep thoughts?" Steven voice makes Owen back to reality.
He didn't notice him because he is busy thinking about the two. He's sitting on the bench near the oval and Steven arrived.
"Not really.. I just thinking about what I've told you last night." He said.
"You mean, moving out?"
"En. I want to move out as soon as possible." Owen clenched the can on his hand.
"If you want to forget your feelings for Leon, then maybe I can help you. My house has an extra room. You occupied it."
Owen dropped the can and look at Steven. What did he say?
"W-What did you say?" He voiced it out.
"You like Leon right? But he likes you as his own brother that's why you wanted to forget that feelings." Steven is staring at him in the eyes without even blinking.
"H-how did you-
" what are you guys doing here?" Angelica's voice interrupted Owen's words.
They both look at her and they saw her with Leon.
"Who are you?" Angelica is asking Steven with a hint of admiration in her eyes. Owen is nervous right now. Did they heard what they were talking about? He doesn't notice that Steven is actually staring at him at this moment. Maybe the guy read what is on his mind and suddenly grabbed his hands before answering the question of Angelica. "I'm Steven, Owen's friend and his dance partner." Steven smiled but didn't even reach his eyes. "Wen-wen, Leon and I want to invite you to buy some snacks. Wanna come?" Angelica didn't give her attention to what Steven said and directly ask him instead. After 8 years of being away to each other, Owen noticed that Angelica is now acting so different. Is it because she was living on the US? Perhaps that's it. He glanced at Leon, the guy is not looking at him but looking at Angelica. Owen can't take it anymore so he answered, "I'm sorry I can't, I already accepted Steven's invitation before you guys arrived. So maybe next time?" This
No one speaks, No one dare to move. Only the sounds of breathing can be heard at that moment. Owen is staring at Leon with serious look on his eyes, while Leon is looking at him with dumbfounded look on his face. Is he gonna hit him now? Or gonna swear at him? Owen is feeling nervous but he has no choice but to accept the fact that this is the end of their friendship. And those promises of living together? It's starting to fade. There still no words came out from Leon's mouth until he slowly move and take one step backward. Owen swallowed his own saliva to control the tears that is trying to escape from his eyes and secretly clenching his fists behind his back. "This..." Leon finally find his words. But that's only it. He even covered his mouth and continue to remain silent again. The pain in Owen's heart is getting more and more that he himself can't take it anymore so he also make his move. He take one step forward and before he leave, he said.. "If you can't ac
He was so shocked after hearing those words from Owen. He doesn't know this, He doesn't even noticed anything for the past 10 years. No, when did it start?, Is Owen already gay since he was a child or just bended? He has no idea at all. And that is so frustrating! He himself is a best friend of Owen, They grew together, they live together but he has no idea what's going on! He even told him many times that he hates gay yet the one he keeps telling those hurtful words is actually gay?! In other words, he hurt Owen many times! "Answer the phone! Damn it!" Leon is trying to contact Owen this whole time now but it seems that Owen is ignoring his calls. "F*ck!" Feeling dejected and frustrated, he sits on the floor. He needs to talk to Owen to ask him to explain himself why did he hide it from him. But, is it really okay with him to live with gay? He was sexually attacked by gay when he was 13 years old. He remember the time when he was almost raped by that man. Leon was 13 y
Owen didn't say any words even he heard what Steven said. His dance partner has a point now. "Let's go." He heard him talk again but he just followed him like a robot. "Or do you want to go back home for now?" Steven asked him when he noticed that he ain't talking. "Should i?" He asked him too. If what they think is the truth, then he doesn't want to face Leon for now. "If you want.. " Owen!" They both turned their heads looking for the owner of that voice who called Owen's name. "Huh! Look who's here?" Steven can't hide his bitterness and anger when he saw Leon walking towards them. He even pulled Owen and hide him behind his back. Owen didn't react, he just stay where Steven put him and looking down at his shoes. He didn't dare to look at Leon's eyes to hide his disappointment and the pain that he is hiding in his eyes. "Give him to me, I need to talk to him." Leon's voice is cold as north Pole. He heard the rumors spreading inside the
"Why? Are you still mad?" Leon sits straight and he's trying to read Owen's mind. "No. It's not like that. I just.. Can't." How can he able to tell him his true reason? If Leon's accepting his sexual orientation because they are friends. Will he also able to accept his feelings? Of course not! The answer is already obvious! Leon will possibly leave and hate him for sure. "Then why? Tell me the reason." "I want to try to live alone for now." He lied. "Live alone? How can you say you are living alone if you're actually living with someone else's house and the owner is also living in there?" Leon comb his hair with his own hands out of frustration. "If you want to sleep in seperate rooms with me, then we can just buy a big house for us to live in. It's easy." Leon continued. "We don't have money that we owned.." Owen disapproved. Leon paused for a second and started to think. "Then, I guess I should accept those offers?" He turn
"Why would I cover up the truth that already spread around the campus?" Angelica frowned when she's looking at Louis. "But at least try to cheer him up! He's your childhood friend, right?" Louis again. "Hey, Louis right? Do you like Owen?" Angelica tilted her head and crossed her arms in front of her chest while asking Louis. Everyone become silent for a moment before Louis burst out of laughter. "Hahaha! Unbelievable! Hey Owen! Is she really your friend? She even tried to make a new rumors against you and me. Now I wonder who really is the one who spread those rumors." Louis smirked while staring at Angelica that stiffened at that time. "I-Im not!" She denied. Louis laughed more and even slammed the chair three times. "You're the one who spread those rumors?" The cold like ice voice of Leon stopped everyone. "Leon!" Angelica surprisingly look to the owner of the voice. Leon slowly walks towards them with dark aura surrounding him. Owen gu
"Never mind. Forget my question." Owen tried to change the topic when Steven answered. "And if I am? Are you going to avoid me?"He can't find his voice to answer those words from Steven. Why did he asked him if he can't stand the answer? But he need someone to focus his attention to forget his feelings for Leon. "N-No. It's alright." He said. "Really?" "Yeah.." "Do you know what you're saying right now? Owen, I'm admitting the fact that I'm interested in you and you said it's okay. Do you know what's that mean for me?" "It means, it's okay for me if you're interested in me. And also.. I'm allowing you to take me as yours from now on." "Haha! Are you trying to use me as your scapegoat?" Steven is laughing on the other line. "I am." Without hiding his intention, he said it. "I also want you to help me forget him. Will you help me?" Steven remains silent for a while and he heard him sigh many times. "Owen, if I take you mine
When Leon returned home, it's already around 7:00 in the evening. Signing contract and photo shooting made him tired that he can't even lift a finger. He tried to contact Owen but the number can't be reached so he frowned and just took his bath and sleep. The next morning, he texted Owen to inform him that he already bought the house that he wanted so they can move in any time the boy wants. "Leon, give me a moment to talk to you.." He stopped when he heard Angelica. He turned his head to look at her and saw the girl acting strange, wait, is she blushing? Curious and frowning, it picked his interest. "What?" He asked. "Y-You, I thought you don't like me so why did you sign the contract?" She fidget and can't even look directly in his eyes. She's blushing because she thinks that he signed the contract because of her? "I signed the contract because Owen wants a big house. And to achieve that, I need money. So I signed the contract. It's not for you, so stop
