Ken and Leo started dating. That wasn’t such shocking news. But they didn’t get it. why they would be together? Ken was a guy that talked a lot and liked by everyone ever since school years. On the other hand, Leo was a guy that would only answer when asked with important questions. Leo love staying alone and happy just by himself.
