Chapter 16: "Football"
He heard faint footsteps and started counting down from five, but before he could reach one, the door immediately opened, followed by voices. Two figures entered. "Leo, don't tell me you declined to play football just so you could study on a rest day?" Ivan's questioning gaze met Leo's as he entered the room.
"Let him be, Iv," Gael said, heading into the bathroom. "Thanks, buddy," Leo shouted behind Gael, who smirked at Ivan before disappearing into the bathroom.
"You better be fast in there," Ivan's irritated voice echoed back at Gael. They always played sports on Saturday mornings, but Leo hadn't wanted to go today. When the two had left earlier, he'd made excuses and been left behind.
With nothing to do, Leo decided to work on a project he had to submit in three weeks. To be honest, he'd never been a fan of football.
"Geez, I stink, "Hurry up Gae!" Ivan shouted, already removing his black T-shirt. His well-built body was revealed as he tossed the shirt aside. His broad shoulders and chiseled abs glistened in the light, showcasing his athletic physique.
