"Looks like your crush is entering today..", Felix announced..

"Lower your voice, idiot..", Perth said..

"Oops Sorry.."

Perth rolled his eyes at it..

"Then, i am entering too..", Perth said..

Felix and Saint chuckled..

Soon, Perth walked to there..

"All the best Santa..", Perth said..

Santa froze for a moment, before reciprocating it..

He smiled..

"Thank you.. You too..", he said patting his shoulder..

There he was.. Gone.. Gone completely..

He froze. Stood still..

"Any help Perth..", Felix came..

"Feli.. If you didn't shut up i will throw you to the track..", Perth threatened..

"Why didn't you show this arrogance in pursuing him..?", Felix asked..

Perth blinked..

"It's not that easy..", he said..

Felix and Saint looked at each other..

All entered inside their own car..

Santa's and Perth's car were next to each other..

Perth's eyes travelled to Santa..

Santa also looked at him.

He smiled.

Perth froze.

Gun fired..

Cars accelerated..

To the maximum..

All moved hastily in the track.

Covering the long distance. The corners. Passing each cars..

Clock ticked..

There...

Finally...

Applauses were heard like thunder..

Santa came out of the car, royally. Winning.

He had a smirk on his face..

All congratulated him..

"Congratulations.. You did well..", Perth said gathering all his courage..

"You too.. Did well..", Santa said, before walking away..

Perth froze. Speechless..

----

"Cheers....", the three clinked their wine glasses..

"So, what's the plan..?", Saint asked..

"Let's play truth or dare..", Felix said..

"No.. I am out of it..", Perth said..

"Never.. You are in this.. You are playing this game..", Felix said..

Perth sighed..

Bottle moved, finally landing to Perth's side..

"No.. No.. No.."

"Yes.. Yes.. Yes.."

"So, truth or Dare..", Felix asked..

Perth gulped, "Truth.."

"Okay.. When will you confess to Santa..?", Felix asked..

"Don't know.."

"Truth please.."

Perth sighed, "Maybe when i win the first place.."

"Not gonna happen soon..", both mumbled..

Perth frowned at it..

Next..

Truth..

Next..

Truth..

Thus all passed with Truth.. Truth.. Truth..

"F*ck i had enough of it-"

"-I am cutting the truth from the game.. So, guys there is no truth in this game..", Felix growled..

Perth frowned at it..

Something is fishy..

Unfortunately.. The bottle stood still towards Perth's side..

Perth blinked..

Felix smirked.

Saint grinned, "Truth or Dare..?"

"Truth..?"

"No Truth.."

"Seriously..?", Perth asked..

They nodded..

"Fine.. Dare..", Perth said..

"I dare you to-"

"-I dare you to confess to Santa tomorrow", Felix said..

Perth blinked..

"No.. It's cheating.. I could never do that..", Perth said..

They sighed..

"It's just confessing.. We didn't said you to commit a murder or loot a bank..", Felix said..

"That's better..", Perth said..

"Seriously Perth..? Don't be a coward.. Just go and confess..", Saint said..

"Really..? Then why didn't you confess to Poom..?", Perth asked..

Saint's breath hitched..

"H-He is younger than me..", Saint said..

"And he is younger than me too..", Perth said..

Saint sighed..

"Fine, do as you want..", Saint said as if 'i am out of here, you guys decide'...

"No..!! Perth, it's a dare and you will surely do it and also Saint-"

"But-"

"-That's the end of the game.. Let's go to home..", Felix stood up..

"This idiot..", both of them cursed Felix..

----

"Hia... I will get in today..", William said happily..

Dunk nodded at it..

Perth-Felix-Saint were circling them..

That's when unexpectedly and intentionally Felix pushed Perth..

Perth, straight stood infront of Santa..

All looked at him..

Perth cursed Felix..

"Anything Phi..?", Santa asked..

Perth blinked..

"I-Can i talk to you alone..?", Perth asked..

Santa nodded..

They watched..

They both walked to a corner..

Perth's heartbeat raced..

He felt his heart will come out soon..

He closed his eyes. Clenched his fist..

"Santa.. I-I like you.. Will you go out with me..?", Perth said in one breath..

He open his eyes and looked at Santa.

Santa was expressionless though his eyes flickered a little.

Perth's heart slammed at his throat..

"Sure..", Santa said with a smile..

Perh blinked, 'Is this for eeal..? Or am i dreaming..?'

"A-Are you sure..?", Perth asked..

Santa showed a smile, he never ever showed it to him..

"Yes.."

Perth breathed deeply...

----

"Are you serious..?", Dunk asked..

Santa raised his eyebrows..

"Serious in what..?", Santa asked..

"Your reply..", Dunk said..

Santa twitched his eyebrows..

"You forgot that Pond could lipread..", Dunk said..

Pond showed a weak smile, "Sorry, we were just very curious.."

"Forget it.. So, you serious..? Don't play with someone's feelings..", Dunk warned..

"I am not playing with anyone's feelings Phi..", Santa said..

"So, you like that Phi..?", William chimed in..

"maybe..", Santa said walking away..

All were surprised..

"He had grown up quickly..", Pond commented..

"He better treat him well..", Dunk said in a warning-threatening tone..

----

"Really..? HE ACCEPTED..?"

"Lower your voice..", Perth ordered..

"Seriously.. I can't believe..", Felix said..

"Me too..", Saint said..

"I expected a rejection too..", Perth said.

They stood eyes wide..

"But, how..?", Saint asked..

"I also don't know..", Perth said..

"Forget the doubts.. Since he accepted you, enjoy your love-life dear..", Felix said..

"Still, it's raising suspicion..", Saint said..

"Oww.. Shut your mouth and your suspicion, Saint or i will push you to Poom today..", Felix threatened..

"No.. No.. No.. Please don't do that..", Saint pleaded..

"Mm.. Good.. There should be a fear..", Felix said..

Saint looked unbelievably at him..

'Still, why would he accept me easily..?', Perth's mind still had a doubt..

----

"You think that boy is their weakness..?", a man in full back attire asked..

The other man nodded..

"Not his.. The other man's too..", he said bowing..

"I would like to introduce myself to that boy..", the man in black attire said..

"But, isn't it risky Sir..?", he asked..

"I didn't asked for your opinion.. I am stating it..", the first man said frowning..

The second man rolled his eyes..

'He will get himself killed..'

"Are you here or gone home..?"

"Here sir.. I am here..", he said..

"Then, prepare everything, i would like to do it more hastily, more quickly..", he smirked..

The other one sighed..

'We can't stop one, who is running to his own death..'
