On The Cold Night

Ravi hugged Soomi back. He hushed her as he rubbed her back gently. She clutched against his colar and cried her whole frustration. Surprisingly, Ravi didn't thought of it as a time to gain points knowing Soomi is just having a hard time and it just happened to be him who passed by at the moment who may comfort her. Meanwhile, when she had calm down, Ravi took her to the nearest stairs and they sat there. He wiped the remaining tears and set aside a strand of her hair. "Are you feeling better now?" he asked. Soomi nodded quickly, still sniffing. "You can talk to me about it if you want." he said. It took three minutes before Soomi decided to talk.

"I thought I am able to talk to him....I really want to talk to him. I want to hear everything from him. I want to know everything because I want to understand him. It's painful but I know how it feels to like someone so I want him to know that I don't hate him. I want him to know that I just got hurt but he still have me." Soomi said making Ravi frown and felt a bit sad and guilty. Sad because Soomi really likes Leo despite of what he did and guilty that Soomi who was the most affected still have the guts to understand and not hate him while he who got his feelings hated him for it.

".....but he left earlier than I thought. How would I talk to him now?" she cried again while kicking her feet like a child. Ravi laughed a little.

"Is that what you've been crying for?" he asked. Soomi who is still crying and pouting nod her head. "Haha. Geez. Stop that. There would be another time." he assured her as he ruffled her hair.

"You think?" she asked innocently. Ravi smiled and nod.

"Come on. It's getting dark." he said as he stood up and took Soomi to her dorm. She thanked him before he left.

Ravi went back with Ken who is still cleaning the left mess. He sat on the bed and stared into space. He thought that he must've really hurt his friend. He thought about making up with him. "Hey." Ken called as he sat next to him. Ravi didn't bother to look at him. "You know...I think Leo is having severe anxiety. He's scared and I think it's by seeing you. Don't get me wrong." Ken said.

"I know Jyani. I know. I am also thinking of talking to him and make it up with him. I'm sorry with what is happening to him." he replied filled with guilt. Ken pat his back and lay on his bed. M

"Take a shower first before laying down on my precious bed." he said as he closed his eyes but not too long, opening them again when he felt Ravi laid down beside him. He groaned. "Seriously, Ravi. You'll be the one washing these bed sheets next week." he snorted as he rolled to face the other side with pillow on his ear. Ravi just smirked.

Leo sighed in relief after reading the text message that he recieved which says that there will be no classes on monday since there will be a meeting thay involves most of their professors. He is thankful since he is too weak to even attend classes. It's been few weaks since Leo hadn't eaten and he is sure he'll die sooner. His body felt so weak that he can't even move his fingers. It is shaking in hunger and there is an extrem pain that tortures him in his stomach. He saw his reflection on the mirror and to be honest, he looks like a ghost. But he didn't plan to die like that so he forced himself to stand up and fixed himself in front of the mirror. He is really nauseous but he can't eat plates. He put on a color to his lips again and forcefully made his way out of the dorm. He walks through the halls and stairs, stumbling most of the time. He groaned when his arm hit the edge of one of the steps and rubbed it. He quickly sat up when a group of people came walking together. He walks as if he's fine untill they're gone. He sat back for few seconds then headed to the grocery store. He bought some ingredients he needed. He struggled when he is going back to the dorm since his body is totally worn out. He is almost climb the last stairs when his vission went white and he lose his hearing as a tingling sound replaced it. It took him few minutes before he heard a voice.
