STOLEN

Chapter 7

No matter how he changed his posture in sitting, Tay didn't seem comfortable enough to be still. It was because all the eyes that kept watching him even though the match had finished for some time now. Tay was getting more than the attention he had ever gotten after Joss Wayar put a bracelet around his wrist.

Tay didn't know what it meant since Joss had gone to shower and ask Tay to wait for him. But the younger guy recognized that getting this bracelet must have meant something. Even Arm and Off didn't stop asking him about the relationship between Joss and himself.

"Are you sure it is all for show?" It was the third time Off asked Tay the same question. Tay had answered him that it was all fake, but Off kept pestering him with the same question over and over again.

Tay didn't answer his friend's question this time. Instead, his eyes landed on the bracelet with engineering emblem on his wrist again. He wondered what was the big deal behind this bracelet.

"Is this that serious?" This time Tay was the one who asked his friends. He got curious of the meaning of the bracelet he got from Joss. All people had been keeping their eyes on him, so it must have been something big.

Tay lifted up his hand to show the bracelet he wore on his wrist. He saw both Off and Arm shared a stare. Tay sighed and repeated his question, "What is it?"

After what seemed like a long time, finally Arm was the first to break their silent gaze, "Well... it's a sacred bracelet aming the engineering students.." He started, "The engineering student usually give that bracelet when they ask their significant other out. It means that they are giving their heart for their lover to keep."

Tay blinked slowly as he absorbed the new information he just got from his friends. Then his eyes fell back to the bracelet around his wrist. His other hand touched the emblem slightly, feeling the coolness of the material of the gear emblem.

He got distracted when the owner of the bracelet came and towered him. "Did I make you wait long?" His barritone voice made Tay pulling out from his own daze. When he looked up to the tall guy who was standing before him, Tay was greeted with Joss's playful smirk. It seemed like the smile was Joss's signature as the most wanted bachelor in the university.

"Yeah. If I knew you would take this long, I would have refused to waste my time here." Tay's foul mouth started again, but it didn't make Joss any less confident.

The older guy smirked as he bended down, "Well, your boyfriend got a big body so..." He let the sentence unfinished as his teasing smirk got wider.

Tay rolled his eyes as he didn't take Joss's dirty joke at all. The boy stood up and fixed his specs before he walked away, leaving his friends and Joss behind.

However, Joss was quick to catch up, while Art and Off were the remaining ones on the bleachers after both Tay and Joss left.

"Are they joking?" Off united his brows as he watched the two of them leaving.

Art shrugged his shoulders, "I just hope they won't cross the lines."

Off turned to Art and questioned, "What if they do?"

Then Art sighed heavily as he stood up, "Well, let's just hope it wouldn't be Tay who's hurting."

"Yeah.." Off quietly praying for Tay's heart. He hoped Tay wouldn't get swayed by his own game.

Both his brows lifted up when Joss weakly threw him a helmet. It wasn't hard for a nerd like Tay to catch the helmet with his hands. "Are we riding a bike?" Tay stupidly asked when the older guy was clearly straddling on the big black motorbike while wearing on his full-faced helmet.
