*Leon smiled, feeling overjoyed. He stood up from his chair, holding Sandy's hand, and walked over to his dad and sister.*
"Are you serious? You guys want to have a family hug right now?"
*Bo and Nita responded with warmth:*
"Absolutely, and with Sandy too. He’s the new member of the family."
*Hearing this, Sandy starts to cry. Leon smiles and looks at Sandy, who is sobbing softly.*
"Come on, you’re going to make Sandy cry with that."
*Leon teases, while Sandy is still crying softly. Once everyone is gathered for a family hug, Leon speaks up again.*
"Come here, Sandy. Join the family hug."
*Sandy, still crying, moves in for the hug.*
"Thanks so much, Bo and Nita. Thank you," Sandy says.
*Leon wraps an arm around Sandy’s waist, holding him close during the hug. Bo and Nita smile at Sandy’s tears.*
"Don’t cry. We accept you and Leon as a couple completely," Bo reassures.
*Nita adds:*
"You’re part of the family now, Sandy. Just like Leon is."
*Sandy begins to calm down.*
*Outside the window, Jessy watches, her face filled with anger.*
*Leon notices Jessy through the window and mutters:*
"Damn... How long has she been standing there?"
*Sandy is talking to Bo and Nita while Leon steps outside to confront Jessy.*
*Leon approaches Jessy, irritated.*
"What the hell do you want, Jessy?"
*Jessy demands:*
"Why do you love him?"
*Leon, initially confused, realizes what she’s asking and rolls his eyes.*
"First of all, it’s *him*, not her. Sandy is a guy. And second, I love him because he cares about me. He treats me better than you ever did, so you have no right to question why I love him."
"But... you loved me in the past. What happened?"
*Leon's tone sharpens as he responds coldly:*
"Don’t bring up the 'I thought you loved me' crap. You have no right to talk about that. You cheated on me. You destroyed any feelings I had for you. Don’t act surprised that I love someone else."
*Jessy starts to fake cry:*
"I didn’t cheat on you. The video of me kissing Gus was fake, I promise."
*Leon looks baffled but remains angry.*
"A fake video? Seriously? Stop with the excuses. I saw the video, and it looked real to me. You wouldn’t have been kissing Gus if you still cared about me."
*Jessy continues to cry dramatically:*
"Please, give me another chance. I’ll be better, I promise."
*Leon is unmoved by her act.*
"Cut the crying. Don’t give me that 'another chance' nonsense. It’s too late. Sandy is my boyfriend now, and I’m not giving him up, not for you or anyone else."
*Jessy, realizing she has no chance, becomes furious.*
"I’M GOING TO TELL EVERYONE YOU’RE WITH SANDY AND HE’S YOUR BOYFRIEND!"
*Leon isn’t intimidated by her threat.*
"And what? Let you tell everyone that I’m dating Sandy? I’m already planning on telling people, so go ahead. I don’t care."
*Jessy screams and storms off toward her house.*
*Everyone inside hears the commotion and steps outside to see Jessy leaving.*
*Bo and Nita ask:*
"What happened, Leon?"
*Leon watches Jessy leave and turns to his dad and sister.*
"That was Jessy. She’s pissed because I’m dating Sandy now. I’ve had enough of her nonsense."
*Bo reassures him:*
"Well, let’s go and eat something."
*Nita adds:*
"Don’t worry, bro. I’m going to talk with Jessy."
*Bo says while heading back into the house:*
"I’m going to make your favorite food for this special moment."
*Leon notices Sandy is missing and walks inside, closing the door behind him.*
"Hey… where’s Sandy? Where did he go?"
*Bo, while cooking, replies:*
"He’s asleep. I took him to your bed."
*Leon’s face reddens at the thought of Sandy in his bed.*
"Y-You put him in my bed?"
*Bo, slightly confused, responds:*
"Yeah, is that a problem? Or would you rather he sleep outside?"
*Leon’s face reddens more, and he quickly shakes his head.*
"N-No, I don’t want him to sleep outside. I just thought you’d let him sleep on the couch or something."
*Bo laughs softly:*
"Well, he’s your boyfriend now. I figured you’d want him to sleep in your bed."
