N looked up at Leo then looked down, still blushing a dark red.

Leo was looking at N, still waiting for what N had to say. N then shyly looked up at Leo, saying "L-Leo" in a stutter.

Leo just staid quiet, still waiting for what N would say.

"I know you said you like both genders...and you thought I was cute...right...well...I've been thinking about something ever since you came to our apartment."

Leo was still, just looking at N, giving him no expression and N then says "Leo...I-I...I really...like you, I've been trying to think about my feelings for you, but whenever I'm around you it's like my heart beats faster and I sometimes question my feelings for you...Leo...I really, really, really like you...so...will you accept me?" N asks, still looking down, giving a deep blush.

Leo gave N a blank expression, and as N looked up, that blank expression was still on his face, N couldn't tell what Leo was thinking. A long pause went between them for a couple minutes which left N to say "L-Leo?" In a stutter, scared on what Leo would say.

Leo was still giving no expression and then finally sighed as he looked at N and says "N...I don't like you in that way."

N's eyes opened wider, totally in shock, he didn't know what to do or what to say, it was like his feet were stuck in their place so he couldn't turn around and leave, but he didn't want to see Leo's face, but it's like he couldn't move.

Leo then walked over to N and once they were now inches away from each other, Leo then says "but you are cute...and I wouldn't mind dating you." As Leo faintly says that, he kisses N on the lips, leaving N speechless.

Once N blinked a couple times, he almost fell back, losing his balance. Once N caught his balance, he looked around the room like he was totally lost "w-what just happened" N thought to himself, looking at Leo, then looking at the ground.

Leo then faintly says "you should leave."

Once Leo had said that, N slowly turned around and left Leo's bedroom, closing the door behind him.

As N slowly walked back to his bedroom, Ken and Ravi were waiting for him, sitting on his bed but N still had a shocked expression on his face. "What, what'd he say?" Ken asks, looking at N curiously.

N still had a shocked expression on his face as he says "h-he said...that he didn't like me in the same way I like him...but he said he think's I'm cute and he wouldn't mind dating me...what does that mean?" N asks.

"Maybe that means you're dating now...he did say he wouldn't mind dating you" Ravi says, looking at N who was now slowly sitting down onto his bed.

N sighed, grabbing his chest as he asks "s-so Leo and I are dating now?"

Ken and Ravi looked at each other and then looked at N, nodding.

N by now couldn't hide his blush but then realized they still haven't had dinner "a-are you kids hungry...you haven't had dinner yet" N says, quickly getting up, worried that the kids were hungry.

"Jeez N, think about yourself sometimes, you can think to yourself...Ravi and I will take care of dinner tonight so you don't have to worry" Ken says in a smile, rubbing N's back, then walking out of N's bedroom, closing the door behind him.

Once the two boys left N's bedroom, N was yet still in shock. He walked over to his light switch, turning it off and laid on his bed in the dark, looking at the ceiling which he couldn't see since it was so dark.

N wanted to go out and eat with the other kids, but he was thinking too deep into what Leo had said and ended up drifting off into sleep.

The next morning when Leo and N woke up, they both ended up meeting in the washroom with both of them ending up brushing their teeth beside each other.

N looked over at Leo who was standing beside him and looked back down into the sink, a little awkward.

Leo had noticed N looking at him but ignored N's gaze as he continued to brush his teeth and once he was finished, he then went back into his bedroom to get changed for school.

Once both the boys were ready for school, N was waiting for Leo at the front door but yet was also putting his shoes on at the same time.

As Leo got to the front door, he put on his shoes and both boys then left the apartment.

"Did you have a good sleep last night?" N asks, looking at Leo in a smile but Leo had no expression on his face as he didn't say anything, then getting in front of the elevator doors.

N rubbed the back of his neck, a little awkward as he tries continuing the conversation as he says "s-o, did you have a good dream?" Looking up at Leo.

Leo just nodded his head to N's question and N then smiled brightly, very happy that Leo had responded.

As the two boys got into the parking lot they both walked over to Leo's car and as they got inside, Leo started the car and N then hesitantly asks "Leo...I couldn't help but think about this all night...but...what's our relationship?"

Leo looked at N confused and faintly asks "I didn't make it clear yesterday?"

N blushed a dark red, looking down into his lap, a little flustered as he says "w-well I didn't really understand what you meant yesterday...a-are we going out?" N asks.

Leo looked at N, then turned his head back to the front as he started to drive out of the parking lot and says "well I thought we were going out."

"W-We're going out?!" N asks, now blushing even harder.

Leo then quietly says "if you don't want to go out, then we don't have to."

"Oh, no, no, we can totally go out!" N says in a smile, really happy with what Leo was saying and not long after the two boys got into the schools parking lot.

"Look the two homosexuals" a boy calls out from behind them, throwing something at the back of Leo's head.

As Leo looked behind him, he had a glare in his eyes and saw the boy had threw a stone at the back of his head, then looking at the boy who had threw the stone.

The boy who had threw the stone then backed up a bit once he saw how Leo was looking at him, and once Leo started walking towards him, the boy ran away, a little scared.

"Leo, you shouldn't start a fight with anyone, they're just saying that to get on your nerves." N says, coming up from behind Leo and holding his shoulder to hold him back.

Leo looked back at N holding him back, then nodded at him, meaning he understood and walked away, forcing N to let go of his shoulder.

N then ran up behind Leo to walk into the school together.

Meanwhile at the house Hyuk was just waking up. As Hyuk opened his eyes, he turned on his phone and sighed as he saw how early it was. "Jeez, why'd I wake up so early...I should be sleeping in, I don't have class until later this afternoon" Hyuk thought to himself in a complain, getting out of bed in a groan.

"Hyukie, where're you going?" Hongbin asks, holding Hyuk's wrist to stop him.

Hyuk looked back at Hongbin who was half asleep in his bed and smiled, ruffling Hongbin's hair as he says "I was going to go get some milk, you want something to drink?" Hyuk asks.

"No, I'm alright...but you should put something on before you walk outside." Hongbin says in a chuckle, then poking Hyuk's butt.

Hyuk looked down, now realizing he wasn't wearing anything and sighed, putting his underwear on along with a big t-shirt and walked out to the kitchen like that.

As Hyuk got into the kitchen he opened the fridge and poured the milk into a glass, drinking it, then realizing N and Leo had left to go to school.

Once Hyuk was done drinking his milk, he put his cup into the sink and looked around, seeing if anyone was up other than himself, and knowing Hongbin he knew Hongbin went back to bed because he was tired.

Hyuk then tip toed his way down the hall where Leo's bedroom was and once Hyuk was face to face with Leo's bedroom door, he brought his hand up to Leo's doorknob and turned the handle, entering Leo's bedroom.

"Leo has a lot of secretes...but...maybe if I find something in here, I can know why he's so quiet." As Hyuk was now fully in Leo's bedroom he closed the door behind him and started searching through his room.

As Hyuk started searching through Leo's desk he noticed a picture of a women, the same picture N had saw when he was in the bedroom to clear Leo's plate.

As Hyuk saw the picture he picked it up, looking at it while squinting his eyes. "I swear...I've seen this women before" Hyuk says to himself, observing the women in the picture even more.

"Hyuk, you in there?" Hongbin asks, knocking on Leo's bedroom door and Hyuk quickly hid the picture behind his back as Hongbin opened the door.

Hongbin then asks "Hyuk, why're you in Leo hyung's bedroom?"

"No reason, I was just trying to see if Leo still had the thing I let him borrow, I'll be out in a second." Hyuk says in a smile.

Hongbin stared at Hyuk for a couple of seconds as he says "well...alright, just hurry up and don't touch any of Leo's things." As Hongbin says that he walks away, leaving Hyuk alone once again.

As Hongbin left, Hyuk then brought the picture back to his face, observing the women's face. "I swear...I've seen this women before...but I can't put my finger on where I've seen her before though..." Hyuk says, getting annoyed with himself that he couldn't remember.

"Hyuk, hurry up and come out here~" Hongbin yells from the living room which made Hyuk a little startled.

Hyuk then kept the picture as he left Leo's bedroom, closing the door behind him and going into his own room to put the picture of the women underneath his pillow.

He then left his room and joined Hongbin in the living room, cuddling with him on the couch.

Ken and Ravi then woke up themselves and Ken then asks "Ravi...I don't wanna go to school today, can we skip?"

"You can't skip Ken" Ravi says in a smile, kissing Ken on the forehead, then getting up and leaving the room to go into the kitchen where he passed the living room and saw Hongbin and Hyuk sitting on the couch.

"You guys are up early" Ravi says, looking at the two boys, then walking into the kitchen to get something to eat.

"Hyuk woke me up" Hongbin says, still a little tired and Ravi chuckled, understanding.

Hyuk then remembered "oh, one of my friends want to come over so he'll be coming over tomorrow after school."

"Why doesn't he just come after school today?" Hongbin asks, looking at Hyuk confused.

"He said he's busy today so he's coming tomorrow...don't embarrass me guys~" Hyuk says, looking at Hongbin seriously but also saying it loud enough for Ravi, who was still in the kitchen to hear.

"We won't~" Ravi yells from the kitchen but yet chuckled afterwards which made Hyuk pout a bit.

"You guys always embarrass me in front of my friends, everyone makes fun of me in my art class because you all treat me like a baby" Hyuk says, a little upset.

"Because you're still our little baby~" Hongbin says to Hyuk, pinching his cheek, wiggling it a little bit and smiling.

Ravi then randomly yells from the kitchen, "but Hongbin, isn't Hyuk the top?"

"Shut up Ravi!" Hongbin yells back to Ravi, making him be quiet.

Meanwhile back at the school classes were in session but all N could think about were the things he could do with Leo since they were now dating.

"We could walk in parks, go to the movies and share popcorn, wah there are so many things we could do~" N thought to himself, smiling at the ceiling as he thought about other things.

"N, you've been acting really weird since this morning" Sungjae whispers, nudging N to get out of thought.

N then lost his train of thoughts by Sungjae's nudging and says a little "huh?" Looking at Sungjae who was sitting beside him.

"What's up with you, you've been all sunshine and rainbows since you walked into the classroom this morning, it's freaking me out" Sungjae asks in a whisper, looking at N seriously.

"You don't need to know~" N says in a smile, then focusing back up at the front where the teacher was writing something on the board but Sungjae couldn't help but wonder what was going on.

On the soccer field, the soccer players just like yesterday weren't treating Leo too kindly, still tripping him when the coach wasn't looking and elbowing him in the stomach from time to time.

When practice ended, as Leo took off his clothing to go take his shower he could already see bruises starting to appear on the sides of his stomach and bruises along his legs, also scratches from when he fell started to appear on his chest as well but all Leo could do to it was sigh.

As Leo turned the water on a couple of the soccer players as well walk into the shower room naked, turning the water on, then looking at Leo.

"Aye, look what we have here, don't stare at our butts when we're showering!" One of the soccer players tease, looking at Leo as he started to laugh.

Leo looked back at the boy in a glare, then finishing his shower as he left the showers to go into the changing room and get changed.

As Leo was now fully changed the other soccer players that were in the shower were by now out as well and dressed.

Leo could hear the soccer players giggling at him and Leo then had enough as he turned around and had a glare in his eyes as he asks "what're you laughing at?" In an angry tone.

The soccer players then looked a little scared as they heard Leo's angry tone and saw his angry expression but tried to act like they weren't scared as one of them then say "we were just surprised you didn't drop the soap."

Leo was now fuming in anger as he stomped his way in front of the three boys and looked at them seriously with anger in his eyes as he says "if any of you ever, and I mean ever make fun of me for 'being gay' again, I will make sure I pound your face in" bringing his fist up, and with that the three soccer players looked at Leo, intimidated.

Leo then let out a sigh as he turned around and walked away, leaving the changing room and walking back to his car.

Once Leo got to his car, like yesterday N was already there, waiting for him and Leo then unlocked the car, letting N inside.

As N got inside the passenger's seat, Leo got into the driver's seat and he started backing up out of his parking spot and drove out of the parking lot.

"So Leo...now that we're dating...I think we should go on a date" N says in a smile, looking at Leo who was still facing forward.

Leo was still looking at the road but didn't really say anything , he just let N continue talking.

"Anyway...I was thinking about it...and how about we go see a movie tomorrow after school?" N asks in a smile, looking at Leo, waiting for his answer and all Leo did was nod, meaning okay.

N started smiling like crazy as he saw Leo's nod and quickly unlocked his phone, searching up the best movie theaters in their area.

Once the two boys got back into apartment, about to open their apartment door, N then remembered "oh, I forgot my backpack in your car, can I go get it?" N asks, pleading to Leo.

Leo then sighed, tossing N his car keys, and as N caught them he bowed to Leo, thanking him, then scurrying back down the hall to get to the elevator.

Leo then unlocked the apartment door, but the first thing he saw when he opened the apartment door was Hongbin and Hyuk, making out.

"O-Oh , hyung!" Hongbin exclaims, pushing Hyuk off of him.

Leo looked at the two boys, giving them no expression. Hyuk then says "y-you're already home?" Then starting to laugh, trying to laugh off the awkward aura growing around them.

Leo still gave the two boys a blank expression, then sighing as he walked back into his bedroom, like he didn't even see Hyuk and Hongbin making out.

As Leo got into his bedroom, he closed the door behind him and thought to himself "did they really not know I knew they were in a relationship?" As Leo thought that he put his backpack down and sat on his rolling chair.

As Leo turned his body, he then noticed his picture was missing. "W-Where is it...I know for a fact I put it here before I went to school" Leo thought to himself, starting to freak out and messing up his whole desk, trying to find the one picture.

Leo then turned his head to the open window and thought to himself "did it fly out the window?" Looking outside the window.

As Leo thought that, he ran out of his bedroom and quickly put his shoes on.

"Leo, where're you going?" N asks, watching Leo run out of the apartment but with no reply Leo zoomed past N.

"Maybe he's going grocery shopping again..." N thought to himself, looking out the door Leo had ran out of.

Ken, Ravi, Hongbin and Hyuk then all come to the front door, ready to go and leave for school. "Have a good day at school kids" N says in a smile, waving goodbye to the four boys.

"Oh, um hyung..." Hongbin says, before leaving the front door.

N looked back at Hongbin to see what he wanted him for and says a little "hm?"

"Well...earlier when Leo came home, he walked in on Hyuk and I...kind of making out...can you explain things to him, you know...just tell him about Hyuk and my relationship?" Hongbin asks, looking at N concerned.

N sighed, then saying "alright, fine...now hurry, you'll be late for class if you don't hurry~" N says, shooing Hongbin out of the apartment.

Leo was by now in front of the apartment, searching on the ground everywhere for the picture "it couldn't have flew that far...could it have?" Leo thought to himself, now getting onto his hands and knees, trying to see if it was anyway underneath things like cars and so forth.

"Mommy, look at that strange man" a little boy says, who was holding his mother's hand, pointing at Leo who was yet on his hands and knees.

"don't look at the crazy man sweetie, stop pointing" the mother say, leading her son away from Leo who was still on the ground.

Hours had passed and it soon became dark with Leo yet still looking around the neighbourhood now, trying to find that one picture.

N was by now started to get worried as he kept checking the time.

Hongbin, Hyuk, Ravi and Ken were all in the living room watching T.V when Ken then calls out from the living room "hyung, come and watch T.V with us~"

N sighed, hesitantly walking into the living room and sitting down on one of the couches. He wanted to stay in the kitchen and watch the time, seeing what time Leo would come back home.

"Hyung, did you tell Leo?" Hongbin asks.

"No...Leo hasn't come back home ever since you guys left for school." N answers with a little bit of worry in his voice.

"Really, where could he be?" Ravi asks, now looking at N, a little concerned about Leo.

"I don't know...I-I'm going to go looking for him...you guys stay here, if I'm out for too long...just order some take out." N says, now getting up and heading to the front door, putting his shoes on and leaving the house.

As N got downstairs into the parking lot, he got into his car and started driving around the neighbourhood, trying to see if he could find Leo, and then as he was passing by a couple of houses he noticed someone on their hands and knees which looked like Leo.

N had a confused look on his face as he stopped the car and walked over to the person who was on his hands and knees and asks "Leo, is that you?"

As Leo looked up, he saw N and then continued to look down, but N stopped him, grabbing his arm, saying "come on Leo, get up."

Leo ended up standing up but as N shined his phone's light onto Leo's hands he noticed how dirty they were and asked him "Leo, how long were you on your hands and knees for...what're you looking for?!" N asks, concerned.

Leo looked at N like he was about to burst into tears "my picture...I can't find my picture..."

"Your picture...what picture?" N asks, looking at Leo confused.

"It's a picture of a women, an older women" Leo says, answering N's curiosity.

N then says a little "a-h, I think I know what you're talking about, when I went to clear your plate from your room I saw it" N says in a smile, then asking "what, did you lose it?"

Leo looked at N, then looked down in a pout as he says "I think it flew out my bedroom window or something..." Leo says, sounding even more upset when he talked.

N sighed, rubbing Leo's back in circular motions as he says "it's okay Leo...we can both look for it together after the movies tomorrow, alright?" N asks, looking at Leo seriously.

Leo looked down at the pavement as he nodded sadly as they both walked back to N's car.

As the two boys got into N's car, and N started driving back to the apartment, N then asks "who's that women in the picture anyway...you've been searching for that picture for hours...must be someone important...right?" N asks, looking over at Leo, then looking back at the road.

Leo sighed as he looked out the window and says "it's no one you need to know about" Leo sternly says.

"Awe, come on Leo, tell me who she is~" N says in a whiny like tone.

"I'll tell you who she is when the time comes." Leo says, looking at N.

"You're always saying that to me, even when I asked you why'd you decided to live in our little rundown apartment you said you'd tell me when the time comes and now for this women as well you're saying the same thing!" N says in a complain.

N then thought for a minute, then asking "Leo....does that women have anything to do with the apartment?"

Leo looked at N with his eyes opened wider, then turned his head to direct his gaze outside as he says "I'll tell you when the time comes." As Leo says that N yet again groans, pulling into the apartments parking lot.

Right at that time it then started to rain and N then says in a smile "see I saved you from the rain" but as he looked at Leo's sad expression he stopped talking.

"M-My picture...." Leo says, watching the pouring rain from outside hitting the ground.

N could tell Leo was really upset and ended up hugging him, trying to comfort him as he thought "who was the women in that picture that's so important to Leo, to make him this upset?"
