The team vacation ended the day after Micah got discharged from the hospital. When they returned, it was time to go back to working mode again. They were going to hold a local fanmeet after a few weeks, so they had to spend most of their time practicing for their performances.

This was the lineup of the performances:

1. Opening Cast Group Dance Performance

2. Cast Solo Song Performance - Jax

3. Cast Solo Song Performance - Micah

4. Cast Solo Song Performance - Sebastian

5. Intermission Performance

6. Cast Duo Dance Performance - Micah and Jax

7. Cast Duo Dance Performance - Sebastian and Jax

8. Intermission Performance

9. Closing Cast Group Dance Performance

As always, the only people who were in the dance studio were Jax, Sebastian, and the choreographer. Even though it was the schedule for their cast group dance performance practice, Micah was nowhere to be found. It wasn't a big surprise though since Micah always had other important things than practice for a fanmeeet. The staff didn't mind it as well since they knew the power of Micah's mere presence. All they needed him to do was just attend the fanmeet in a good mood.

The choreographer told them to prepare for five minutes because she had to get the music from her junior.

"Jax, I never got to ask you since Mr. Micah kept on gatekeeping you during the bus ride home. But how was it, spending the night with him?" Sebastian asked, half expecting Jax to start complaining about Micah.

Sebastian frowned. He's calling him Micah again. Last time in the bus, I thought I heard it wrong.

"He's going to get angry if you keep calling him Micah when the cameras are off," Sebastian said.

Jax chuckled. "Unfortunately for you, he gave me the license to call him Micah."

"You're the one who brought him up in the first place," Jax said.

The choreographer arrived and they began practicing. They kept on joking around because Jax wasn't really a good dancer. His body was too stiff so they laughed whenever he tried his best to do the step.

"Jax, your phone ringing," Sebastian said when he heard a familiar ringtone.

Jax walked towards his bag and took out his phone. When he saw the caller ID, he excused himself from the studio room.

"Who is it?" Sebastian asked.

"Micah," he replied just as he closed the door.

The choreographer said that they would have a break for a few minutes, so Sebastian went out to get some water. He was about to take a turn in a corner when he heard Jax laughing.

Sebastian stopped in his tracks. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. Jax was laughing while calling Micah. What really happened at the hospital.

I knew it. I should've gone with them to the hospital, Sebastian thought.

He kept on repeating those lines that he didn't notice Jax already ended his call with Micah.

Sebastian had started biting his thumb, something he did whenever he felt anxious. He snapped out of it and said that he just needed to go to the toilet real fast. Jax believed him.

Entering the restroom, Sebastian headed to the sink right away. He splashed some water on his face. He didn't understand why he was acting that way. He knew what triggered his behavior, but he didn't know why Jax being happy while on a phonecall with Micah triggered him. He began to bite his thumb again.

Sebastian turned around. It was Jax. 

"Do you want to stop for now? We can just continue practicing when you're feeling well," Jax said.

Sebastian looked at the floor. "No, it's okay. We can continue."

"It's really okay." Sebastian faked a smile, but Jax saw through this.

Sebastian looked at him for a few seconds and he sighed. "I don't know, Jax. There's just this one person who makes me do many things."

"And what does that person make you do?" Jax asked.

"No!" Sebastian instantly replied. "No," he repeated in a quieter voice.

Jax smiled. "I know why, Seb. You're in love with him."

Jax crossed his arms. "I say that you hate him, you say no. I say that you love him, you say no. I say that you're indifferent towards him, you say no. Those are the only possible ways we can feel towards a person, Seb."

Sebastian looked away and was silent for a second. Then he softly said, "I guess I'm in love then."

Jax smiled. "It's good that you've come to terms with your feelings. But you'll have to work more things out about yourself. This is your first time falling for a guy, isn't it?"

Sebastian nodded. "But it's not really a problem. I have nothing against same-sex relationships. It's just that I was told that the BL industry thrives off people's fantasies so some actors have to fake their realities."

"It's the industry who made it that way. But many fans are actually mature. They know how to distinguish a series and reality," Jax said. "So who's the lucky guy? Do I know him?"

"It's a secret," Sebastian answered in a playful way. 

Sebastian laughed. "You sure are supportive."

Jax grinned. "I'm looking forward to that, Seb. I'll put in some good words for you. You can trust in me."

Sebastian could finally truly smile. He knew he felt differently towards Jax, but he never thought it would be love. After all, he joined the BL industry just to kickstart his modeling career. He never planned to stay long. He was just going to use the popularity he got. Who know he would get something better than popularity?

The two went back to the dance studio and resumed their practice.
