The car entered the big gate of Yu and Cruz residence. The two families live on two hectares of land located in Nasugbu Batangas. The two families have been friends for a long time, they have been friends since their parents were in school. "Where is dad?" Leon asked his mom. "He's with your uncle Lucio. I think they are inside or maybe at the back of the house with Owen's dad." "Your uncle Lucio is with his friend when he arrived." "With his friend, okay." Leon nodded. Owen is just listening to the mother and Son conversation while his mother is following him. On the left side is the house of Yu, and on the other side is the house of Cruz. When you take the path between two mansions, you will reach the back garden. "We'll be entering now. We'll join you guys later." Mrs. Cruz spoke. Owen didn't look back and just entered their home. How he missed his own room. "You should take a rest first before meeting your uncle Lucio." Owen heard his mom and just nodded
"Tita." Leon opened the door and saw Owen's mother outside the room. "You guys, come out now and everyone is waiting for you." The woman said. "And hurry up!" She said again before turning away. He didn't close the door and just looked at Owen who were busy fixing himself with blushing face. "I'll go first." He said. Owen nodded and just watched the man's back until it disappeared. He took a deep breath and pulled his hairs out of frustration. "How did he have that size?! Ugh!" He ran into his bathroom to wash his face. It took a while before he followed them outside. While walking on the his way, he heard Leon's voice. "Absolutely not!" Leon shouted loudly. Owen's stopped walking for a second before running towards the back garden where everyone is waiting. He saw Leon standing beside his Dad who were also standing and holding Leon's arm while trying to comfort him. "Leon, I knew you would react this way but, I never thought that you would yell at me."
The girl's father was surprised to hear what his daughter said. And even Lucio secretly smirked too. He thought he had no hope of saving his company. Who would have thought that the woman herself would make a way for him? "But he already said he doesn't like you?" The father tried to change his daughter mind. "That's why I said, I chose him to be my husband. If not him, then there's no one deserving to that title I am giving." The woman said. All the children of the rich people in their country almost crammed themselves into her because of their family's company. And she hates it so much. So when she saw Leon a while ago, she thought that the man was also the same with those people but she was wrong. In the man's eyes, there were a real disgust for her. "You really like him? Well he said he is a model right? We can use him to endorse our company's products without spending any money." The father seem to agreed. Lucio also stood up and then spoke. "Don't worry sir, I wi
Leon stared at Owen when he heard his friend's question. He repeated the question several times in his mind and he couldn't be wrong. Owen used the word "too" which means "the same." "You didn't ask the wrong question, did you?" He assured the Friend's question. Owen blinked. Did he think wrong? did he assume the friend he thought liked him too? "I-I was. forget my question please and let's just go back to our house. Maybe the people at home are already looking for us." Owen said evasively. He even tried to stand up to walk back to the big house first when Leon suddenly spoke again. "You want to change places not because of your sexual orientation but because of your feelings for me, right Owen?" Leon asked him strongly and deeply. Owen didn't answer right away. He remained standing with his back to his friend. He felt his whole body stiffen. He also swallowed several times to moisten his dry throat. Why does admitting true feelings seem to be more difficult than admitting
Owen was surprised to hear what Leon said. The dreams he thought, were real? Huh! So what are the things that he doesn't know and only Leon knows? He still thought he was the only one hiding something, but Leon has something too? "Then.. When did you start feeling that way for me?" He couldn't take it anymore, he had to know. "I don't know, I just realized that I like you. I used to think that you like me too. But when you told me that you like me as your older brother. I decided to just keep it to myself. Who would have thought that we have the same feelings?" Leon said with a smile while stroking his hair. "Corny.." He said here. Leon laughed at what he said. It's really true. The way Leon admitted his feelings sounds corny. But heartwarming. "What do you plan on Steven? Wen-wen, I hate to share what's mine unless I give it to you." Leon converted him and locked him in the young man's arms. He sank into his chest. What exactly should he do with Steven? Well
Leon laughed at what Owen's father said. Him? Will his parents force him to marry someone he doesn't like? Impossible. What's the point of the job he entered if in the end he's just going to rely on other people's wealth? And besides, he can't turn his back on the man he likes. And that is Owen. "They can't force me to do the things that I don't like." He said to those in front of him. He turned to Owen, who was quietly bowing. He felt annoyed. Does the friend of his not trust him? "Not until the one I like abandons me." Leon added to what he said. With that, Owen looked up and stared at him. "You have someone you like?" Mrs. Cruz asked. Leon just smiled while taking french fries from the table in the middle of the living room. He took a bite of the food and stood up. "Everyone has a secret Aunt. So yes, I have someone I like." Leon held Owen's hand so the couple glanced at their hands. "Traveling was too tiresome. I want to take a rest. Tomorrow is my photoshoo
"You really told him that?" Leon asked Owen with sadness in his eyes. "I don't want to tell lies to you, so yes." He answered. "But of course it was because I didn't know that you actually have feelings for me too." Owen explained while adjusting himself on the bed. It's good that Leon also understood him. Such a situation happened because they were both ignorant of each other's feelings so it was understandable. He pulled Leon to lie next to him. Then she hugged the boy like when they were children. He is very happy now because somehow his feelings for Leon are reciprocated. "Reject him as soon as possible." Leon's voice was full of annoyance when he spoke. "I know." He answered while smiling. "We have to rest early tonight, because you have a schedule for tomorrow's photoshoot." Owen added. Leon hugged her and kissed her forehead. "Yeah. But for now, let's take a rest. I'm really tired from out trip to here." Leon said. He agreed with what the young man said by n
The manager took a step back when he saw the expression on Owen's face. He approached the man because he wanted to be sure of his suspicion so he knew how to keep up with his people. "I just wanted to be friends with you." He tried to lower the little boy's guard. Owen's eyes narrowed and he looked dark as he faced the man. What he doesn't like about everyone, are hypocritical people. "You wanted to be friends with me but you approached me in the wrong way. You're not really making friends, you just want to have something to talk about." He didn't wait for the manager to speak any more, he quickly left him and took a seat under a large tree in the shade. He took the cellphone and chose to play mobile games instead. A few moments later he received a call from Steven. He still hesitated whether to answer the call or not. Owen chose the last one, he took a deep breath before answering the call. "Steven." He mentioned the man's name first. She was still a little nervous bec
It's already been two weeks since the two of them made up. Everyone around them seemed to notice and began asking but they keep ignoring them. Only Nicolai, Steven, John and Luis are always updated to their relationship. "I already have a suspect." Owen and Leon both stopped from entering the room when they heard Steven speaking. All of them are having a get together party and the two of them got late due to Owen's schedule. They look at each other they continue to enter. "What are you talking about? What suspect?" Leon helped him to take his seat before taking the seat next to him. The four hesitates to tell them so Owen tilted his head and look at Nicolai. If he display his serious look in front of him, the man can't do nothing but to tell him whatever it is they are hiding. "There's a trending rumor in the internet that involving you two. We are having a guess if who was the one responsible who spread that rumor." Nicolai answered. "Rumor?" Owen pick up hi
Nicolai and Owen left the place after helping Steven's girlfriend to put him on the bed. They both on the car that Owen rented when Owen asked him. "What happened back there?" "He fainted while interrogating me." Nicolai made up a lie this time. He can't tell Owen that Steven actually kissed him back there. The man is already have a girlfriend so he already knows what do do. Doesn't need to tell him what is right and what is wrong. "I see.. He didn't change after all." Owen said. "What do you mean?"Owen took a deep breath before answering. "He used to be overprotective in comes to me."Yeah, Nicolai knew that. Owen told him the story between them. "Yeah.. I guess so."That incident didn't happen just once, Steven woke up in the next morning remembering what he did. So he decided to approach Nicolai and even started kissing him everytime he got a chance. The problem is that, Nicolai couldn't take it anymore because of the fact that Steven is already
There were a time, that destiny is making fun of us. Sometimes, you didn't know that the person destined for you is already in your front. And sometimes, you already in a relationship, but suddenly, your heart is still beating for someone else. Just like Steven, Owen's ex-boyfriend. "Do you know how we become crazy when you've gone missing? I even asked my mom to help me find you and made that Gu family lost their business!" Steven is yelling while talking to Owen. They are in the private building which Steven own. He visited the man after signing the contract with Star entertainment agency. "Yeah.. I'm sorry." Owen smile as he drink the wine on his glass given by Steven girlfriend. "Yeah! As if I forgive you that easily!" Steven pouted as he said that while facing the girl besides him. Owen again let out a chuckle and was about to speak when his phone rang. He check the caller registered name before answering it. "Nicolai.. Yeah? Alright, I'll pick you up d
Astoria Hotel... There's a sound of skin slapping each other inside the room of the hotel that the two occupied. Leon and Owen went there to end the loneliness inside their hearts. "Wait! Slow down!!" Leon gasps when Owen suddenly moved faster behind him. Are you guys confuse? Well, here's what happened... When the two entered the room, Leon immediately cupped Owen's face and captured his mouth. He kissed him like there's no tomorrow. But Owen gently pushed Leon and said.. "Let's take a shower first." "But I already took a bath, I can smell from your scent that you already had too." Leon embraced him more and brought him to the bed. Owen can easily tell that Leon really missed him so much, and did he. But there's too many things that changed even he never slept with anyone else for ten years! Especially when it comes to pleasing himself.. "Leon..." Owen called the man's name and his gaze landed on the bed. "Yes?" "How much do you love
"What do you mean, Nicolai called? Who's that?" Leon asked. He just arrived today and he doesn't know everything about Owen since he promised to himself not to try to collect some information about him when he was in New York. It was to punish himself for being incompetent when Owen got missing. "He's my personal assistant. But also my best friend. He became close to me when I arrived at Korea and lived there." He answered Leon. "After 5 days of continues crying, Nicolai feels sorry for me and tried to contact you. That's what he told me a year ago." Owen continue. Leon frowned deeper while Angelica started trembling. She also takes a step backward but being blocked by the man who were still holding the camera. "Nicolai called you but he said, a girl answered the phone. He asked where are you but the girl said you were not there. Before the girl ended the call, Nicolai said he heard a man voice calling Steven's name. When Nicolai asked Steven about that, you know w
"No. I have to do the audition. And Also, Angelica is the one who will play the role of the heroin." Owen stopped Leon from kissing his neck by covering his mouth with his hands. "Angelica?" Leon frown as he mentioned the name of the woman who he doesn't want to meet again. "Yeah.. If I will be chosen as the male lead, she will be my.." "No! I won't allow it!" Leon said deliberately. He pulled Owen out of the room and they walk at the hallway holding each other's hands to the room where the audition is happening. When Leon open the door, everyone is looking at him also Richard. But everyone shifted their gazes to the person who is following him. "I thought you won't bring him back here." Richard speaks first as he looking at Owen who wears his cold expression again. "I was thinking about that but he keeps telling me to go back here to the audition." Leon answered as he also looks around to find available extra seat for Owen. "Ah-huh? It seems you tw
Owen was walking fast when suddenly someone grabbed his hands from behind. He violently look back but that someone already pulled him away from Nicolai who couldn't react due to sudden event. Owen's bodyguard was stunned out of shocked too. "What.." "Follow me!" Leon's voice is deep and sounds hoarse as he speaks while pulling Owen in his hands. When Nicolai recognized the man who just snatched away his best friend, he immediately ordered the bodyguards to do not follow them and just let them be. The bodyguards wanted to ask but Nicolai have said. "You will be fired by your own boss if you continue to follow, trust me." He said while crossing his arms on his chest. He then smile happily while going back to their car. Meanwhile, Leon bring Owen to one of the private room that is located inside the building. After entering, he let go of him and stare at him for a second. No one dares to talk, the sounds of silence ringing in their ears. Owen is looking down at
"Y-you, we just talk yesterday! And besides, Steven has a girlfriend already!" Nicolai straighten up his back while trying to explain to him but he just gave him a shrug as his response. He knows what kind of person Steven is, he's his ex-boyfriend after all. Even they're relationship was just for a show, it's still considered as normal relationship. He smirked when he remember the day that he first met him inside his classroom. "I'm telling the truth!" Nicolai smack his shoulder this time so he just chuckled. His best friend started stomping his feet on the ground as he keeps explaining about his meeting with Steven. Well, Steven indeed has a girlfriend now but the way he look at girl was too shallow. His smile didn't even reach his eyes when his in front of his girlfriend. Unlike when his with Nicolai. Wait, if Steven has spark on his eyes everytime he look at Nicolai, then that means, he has feelings for Nicolai? "What? Why are you looking at me like that?" Nico
"You're dreaming again?" Owen open his eyes when he heard Nicolai voice. He touched his face and was being surprised when he feels the cold water in there. Was he crying on his sleep? He shut his eyes close again then rubbed his forehead. It's already been 6 years and he still couldn't forget the terrible relationship he has been. "For how long did I sleep?" He asked Nicolai while slowly getting up from the sofa. "2 hours, your manager called you a while ago but I told him that you're still sleeping. By the way, he told me that the new Director has arrived." "New director?" He walks towards the water dispenser and get a cup of water in there. "Yeah, your manager said, the new director has just arrived from US. I heard he is really well known in entertainment industry." Nicolai answered. Since that day, Nicolai became his personal assistant and his plan group hasn't formed. Their friends refused to join because they said they couldn't take the heat in the Ph
