"You've grown to challenge me?" The frown on Taehyun's face slowly disappeared. "I was starting to wonder where those balls you got from your mother went." He said, confusing Owen Leaning forward, elbows resting on his knees, he looked Owen deep in the eyes and asked with all seriousness. "I'll grant your request, but as you know, this world is all about give and take, are you ready for what's gonna be taken from you in other for you to give that - Speech?" Owen didn't hesitate. He didn't need a moment to think, because he knew whatever he lost, whatever he had today, it was all because of Leonica He had pushed himself to the limit to impress her and only got here because of her. So he could just a everything back ""Yes." He answered in an every ready tone. "I'm ready." as well see this as giving Bitter Taste Of Defeat.

e press and their paparazzi has flooded into the conference venue the moment word of a conference from Like hunger driven pests, thep Leonica was released.

Sitting in the lounge, a few feet away from the stage, Leonica listened to the chatter of the crowd, their voices muffled by the sound proof wall and closed door.

"Five minutes still we make a statement," Kennedy announced, pacing the room with his tablet, sometimes having to bark orders at the staff present.

"Are you nervous?" A voice whispered close to her ear.

"No." "She answered and turned her head to the side, locking eyes with the familiar brown ones of Arvan's. "I've had to face worse." Arvan smiled at her words, his expression softening. "True." He said, slipping into the chair beside her. "So, what do you intend to say? "What is meant to be said. The truth. Nothing but the truth' "Sounds good." minutes, we have to move, Ms. Romero, Mr. Richardson " Kennedy said, pointing his hand towards the door. "Alright, two mi Taking in a deep breath, Leonica exhaled sharply and stood up, keeping her mind calm and clear as she followed behind the staffer, Arvan right behind her.

The moment she stepped foot on the podium, her ears were greeted by the voices of reporters and the shuttering of cameras, "Is it true that you're seeing Owen Lee?" One re reporter asked.

"What is your relationship with Arvan Richardson?" Another reporter asked, soon turning towards the said man who was standing beside her. "Senator Richardson, care to comment on the rumors circulating around you and Ms. Romero? The voicing recording released earlier was it true?" As the conference room began to get noisy, Leonica raised her hand, silencing the room without even needing to raise her voice.

"How about we all do this the civil way? One person at a time, one question at a tand I promise, I'll answer all your questions to the best of my abilities." Her response was met with silence and she nodded her head, a small smile appearing on her lips. "Perfect. Who's the first person?" "Me." A hand went up and Leonica pointed at them, the young female standing up, a microphone in her hand. "You and Owen Lee were recently spotted together at a restaurant and you two were acting close. What's the nature of your relationship?" Leonica thought about that answer for a few seconds, humming, before answering "Owen and I are close. We lived next to each other when we were kids, but unfortunately, he moved away and we lost contact, and now that he's back, we're simply trying to catch up on all the moment missed." "Does that mean there's intention of a relationship between you two?" She pressed on and despite the fact that Leonica knew she had said one question per person, she took the initiative to answer.

"That's more of a private question," She began and chuckled. "But as of late the press seems to know more about my life than I do. So what's the harm in answering." As she paused, all their ears perked up, hands ready to write or record whatever Leonica may say." I'd be lying if I said there was no intent of such Owen and I, we're both grown adults, so if we wish to have a relationship, then I don't really think anyone has the right to question that" The reporter's eyes widened at her response, but her attention was immediately grabbed by the next person raising his hand.

"How about you and Senator Richardson, what's the nature of your relationship?" Their relationship? Leonica glanced at Arvan who offered her a smile and stepped forward to speak before she could *Leonica and I were nothing more than friends. Close ones who really enjoy hanging out in each other's presence despite social media and the press's attempts at painting us as a couple. So assured, we're not, nor are we going to be. Anything like that." He ended his speech with a smile and stepped back "Next question." Leonica spoke, p pointing at the nex person And just like that, the questions continued to come, Lronica answering them one by one and settling the rumors I Meanwhile, on the other side of Oslo, Camera lights and Press microphone pressed equally close to Owen's face as he too drew his speech to a close.

"As my fans, I understand you all care for me, love me. I appreciate that and love you guys just as much, but that I won't because of that, change the way I speak, dress and deny my personal feelings. As an idol, I'm very much aware that it's part of my job, but as a person, and a man, I want to live freely, I can't do that under S.G Entertainment and for that, I want to say a big thank you, for helpingget where I am today, but now, it's tforto take the next step. So, with that, I'm ending my contract with S.G Entertainment effective immediately and will no longer be performing under the company, but I hope that you guys will continue to support me, in the future. Thank you." His words were followed by a wave of murmurs and shouts of his fans, most of which were sad that he had chosen to end his run with S.G entertainment, but they also understood his decision, and cheered for him nonetheless.

Owen looked at the people surrounding him, smiling and bowing as he was bombarded with more questions, Owen realized that solving his problems were easier than he thought.

Not all his fans were crazy enough to spray paint gates or send threat messages.

Not all his fans would accept his feelings for Leonica, but the ones that did, those were the ones he truly cherished and called his fans.

"Alright everyone, that's enough. He'll answer any reng questions II.

another time. Thank you. Alistair said and lead him off the stage, the reporters following behind.

Owen stopped walking and turned around, bowing his head once more. "Thank you, for being sounderstanding." He said and walked away, leaving the press behind, wondering what Owen was planning next "That went better than expected." Alistair said, the two of them walking out the back door.

"Of course." Owen answered with a smile. The smile however, fadedm when he saw another car that wasn't his, parked outside and the person resting on it. Gabriel.

"What is he doing here?" Alistair muttered, half awed to see Gabriel in person and half confused.

"Wait here." Owen instructed instead of answering and walked up to the car. "What are you doing here? Not one fans Gabriel chuckled unamused, shaking his head. "No. I'm here to talk to you about something" "About what? "Leonica." He responded, the nalone was enough to gain Owen's full attention.

"What about her?" Pushing himself off his car, he stepped closer, pocketing his hands. "I need you to stay away from her." Owen scoffed at his words. "And why would I do that?"
