On The Cold Night

Hakyeon with wide eye stare at Hyuk in disbelief. "H-Hyuk, how did you..." Ravi turned from Hyuk to Hakyeon.

"A-and you know about it too?" Ravi asked in disbelief. "Who else among you know about it? Why didn't you tell me?" he asked feeling betrayed. However, Ken and Hongbin's expression answer his question.

"Leo hyung kept it a secret between him and N hyung. I just heard them talking and I decided to keep it to myself also but seeing that your hatred to Leo hyung got even worse especially yesterday while he tried to give what he think is best for you, breaking his own heart in the process. I'd say I'm sorry for Leo hyung but I won't allow that to happen. "

Ken and Hongbin don't even know how to react at the moment. Just like Ravi, they are also finding out about those things only now and it made them imagine just how much Leo endured especially that Ravi was always glued to Sohee even on the last minute of his stay.

"And you are blaming me? I don't even know he still want me? Was I to blame for having a new lover and hurting him when he hides the fact that he's still in love with me?" Ravi yelled at Hyuk. The others got his point. He didn't know because Leo lied and the fact that he is hurting Leo without knowing it is not his fault.

" No. " Hyuk answered. "But you acting like you recent him is. Also for causing another friend to leave. I hate you for that." Hyul said then stomped out of the room. Hakyeon sighed and sat back on the couch with his head looking down on his lap. He was just trying not to reveal Leo's secret and here Hyuk spilling everything.

" Bullshit. " Ravi mumbled silently. Then kicked Ken's cabinet as he shout "Bullshit!". He then stomped off the room as well, leaving the three in the room. Hongbin sat next to Hakyeon and Ken sat on the othet couch, breathing in and out.

"Hyung...is that true? Leo hyung never once loss his feelings for Ravi?" Hakyeon took a deep breath first.

"Yeah...he lied. He lied about being bisexual and feeling only brotherly love for Ravi just so he can find someone who deserves him more. He think he's going to ruin Ravi's future for being unacceptable as his lover. He is so stupid." Hakyeon resumed sobbing again. Hongbin started rubbing his back.

" Hyung. I think I understand Leo hyung. " The two looked at Ken, wanting and explanation. "After all that he have been through just for revealing his sexuality, all of them are pain. He got bullied and made fun, he nearly got raped. I think he don't want Ravi to share the burden or even associate him to those kind of things. He loves him so is understandable why he don't want him to get involved with him. " he said. Hongbin nodded in agreement.

Of all the time that he tried to understand Leo, Hakyeon finally understand everything now. "So....that's how it is."

"I know this is sad but let's not mourn as if Leo hyung died. Let's try another way to get in touch with him and keep our ties together." Ken suggested. Hakyeon smiled, feeling thankful that he have a friend named Jaewhan.

"Let's all take a rest. I'll go look for Hyuk and you two. Take a rest. We'll handle everything, okay?" Hongbin said as he stood up. "I'll leave N hyung to you." he said to Ken who needed. He then left and started dialing Hyuk's number. He went to their own dorm at first and as expected, he is not in there. He then went to Sungjae's dorm and knock softly.

The door opened after what sounded like Hyuk telling Sungjae that he don't want to go home and don't tell Hongbin he's there. Sungjae opened the door slightly, just enough for half of his body to peek. "He said he's not here." Sungjae answered even better fore Hongbin could ask. He sighed.

"Okay. As long as he's here then I'm sure he'll be fine. Please look after him for now but tell him to go home. Can you do that for me?" Sungjae nodded. "Thank you." he said then walked away and stop when Sungjae closed the door.
