Teammates corner Alan on campus and direct homophobic slurs at him. After the buzz-cut football player compares him to a hooker, Alan strikes his face. The group knocks Alan down and continues to assault him. Desperate to stop the attack, Alan yells out that the romance is fake. An onlooker starts a broadcast to expose the lie. Alan panics about the breach penalty until Leo arrives and kisses him publicly.
Teammates gather around Alan in the hallway and hurl homophobic slurs at him. The buzz-cut football player insults Alan by comparing him to a hooker. Alan loses control and strikes the player directly in the jaw.
The buzz-cut football player and his friends knock Alan to the floor. The bully grabs Alan by his chin, pins him down, and demands personal favors from him while the rest of the group continues the assault.
Panicking on the floor, Alan shouts that he and Leo have no real romance and that everything is fake. Shock spreads through the crowd. A dark-haired female student pulls out her phone and starts livestreaming his words.
A sudden memory strikes Alan in the hallway. He remembers the female agent warning him about the three-million-dollar penalty for breaching the contract terms. Alan grabs his head in pure distress as he realizes what he did.
Leo steps into the hallway and asks who called their connection fake. He walks straight up to Alan, pulls him tight, and announces that they are truly together. Leo then presses his lips to Alan's before the watching students.
“We're not a couple! I have nothing to do with Leo! It's all fake!”
“You lied to us?! I'm going live right now, exposing you both!”
“Who says it's fake? We are a real couple.”
Leo pulls Alan into his arms and kisses him right in front of the recording crowd. This public act counters Alan's confession and halts the immediate fallout from the livestream. Will the students believe Leo's claim after Alan's panicked words, and how will Alan handle Leo taking their fake romance this far in front of everyone?
