Four

 After their classes, Owen messaged Leon that he will be late to come home due to his schedule to meet Steven. Leon didn't reply, so Owen return his phone to his pocket. 

     "I'm sorry for being late." A voice from behind make Owen startled. 

He turned his back to see Steven standing with poisture half step away from him. 

    "Did I startle you?" He looks so relaxed with a hint of smile on his face. 

    "How long have you been here?" Owen asked while avoiding Steven's eyes. 

    

    "A moment when you started texting." Steven casually answered. 

    "I'm sorry, I didn't notice you. Shall we start?"   

     "Yeah, but first, let's find a perfect place to place our things, I can't find a bench here. What if we go to School gym?" Steven says that while his eyes is roaming around the area. 

They are at the vacant space at the back of the school building. 

    "What if there's a lot of students in there too?" He fidget. 

Owen doesn't like to practice if there's a lot of people watching. He thinks it's useless to perform if the other audiences already saw the practice. 

      "Don't you want to be seen while practicing?" Steven look at him. 

  Owen nodded. 

     "Me too, I was thinking to practice at my own dance studio but of course I can do here if you want to." Steven smile with his teeth showing up.  

Owen blinks twice in a row. What a perfect smile! 

    "You.. Do modelling?" He asked out of his mind. 

Steven stopped for a second to look at him. He just staring this little guy in front of him. Owen saw the hint of feeling in Steven eyes but he doesn't know what it was because it disappeared immediately. 

      "No." Steven looks away and guided Owen to start walking. 

Owen follows. 

      "Oh! I thought you were."   

They headed to Steven car that is at the parking lot of the school. He open the car's door beside drivers seat. Owen entered and sit in there while waiting for Steven. He checked his phone and saw the messages from Leon. 

      "Buckle your seat belt." Steven said. He already inside the car. 

Owen listen to him while reading the messages. 

     Leon: Why?

     Leon: Hey! Where are you?

     Leon: Can't you reply even once?! 

     Leon: Tell me where are you, You're not at the gym. 

     Leon: Hey! Are you mad?

Owen skipped a beat for a second. If what he thinks is right, Leon think that he is avoiding him because of what happened inside the classroom this morning. So he replied. 

    Owen: Sorry, didn't notice your messages. I'm with Steven right now and we are going out of the school campus to his dance studio to practice. Eat first, I'm gonna be late. 

Message sent! 

After sending it, he again put his phone back to his pocket. 

     "Are you comfortable of dancing the interpretative dance with BL theme?" Steven started the conversation. 

     "It's fine, it's my first time but I guess it's fine." He answered. 

     "Yeah, it's my first time too. So I hope we can be comfortable with each other later." Steven voice is cold. Owen thinks that perhaps, Leon's voice is also sounded like this every time he speaks with the people he doesn't like. 

     "You don't like me?" He voice it out again. Owen bite his lower lip to punish himself. What kind of tongue he has that can't even be controlled by his own body?

     "What?" To Steven Surprise, he look at little boy side for a second and look back to the road again. "Why should i?" 

    "Well, you.. Seems that way." Owen said it while fidgeting. 

    "Pfft! " Steven can't control his laughter and started to laugh. 

    "Why are you laughing?" Looking so amazed by this sudden change of attitude from Steven, Owen stare at him. 

Steven cleared his throat before talking again. 

     "I'm sorry, I'm surprised to receive that kind of question all of a sudden." Steven is still smiling. "And No, I don't dislike you. I, rather interested in you." 

Owen choked by his own saliva and started coughing. 

     "You're good at using words Mr. Park." He said it while coughing. 

Steven laugh again. His cheerful laugh with deep tone is like a good sound for Owen's ear. Now he is wondering, He likes Steven too? No! Impossible, He like Leon. But Steven is different. He thinks Steven is more easy to get along with. 

  After turning and turning every curves in the road, they finally arrived at Steven dance Studio. They both got out from the car. 

   "Follow me," Steven said. 

They entered the 10x10 square meters Studio of Steven. The inside is neat and clean, The color from the wall to ceiling is the same, it's color light caramel brown. Very pleasing to the eyes. In front, there's a mirror which attached to whole wall of the front. 

  "Come. There's no chair inside, so seat on the floor." Steven voice. 

There's a water dispenser at the corner and big Speaker beside the green plant on the flower pot.

   "Cool" He said with admiration. "Are you the one who design this?"  

   "Thanks and Yes." Steven proudly answered. "Do you like it?"   

   "I like it here." He honestly answered. 

   "You can come here anytime, I let you borrow my duplicate key." Steven is smiling while saying it and also while walking towards the speaker. 

   "Are you serious?" Owen's eyes is twinkling with happiness. "I would love to!" He even jumped up two times while clapping. 

   "Haha!" Steven saw him doing that. "Okay, give me your phone number and I'll give you the key." He said. 

    "Sure!"
