On The Cold Night

14

guess what? I'm still updating when no one seems to be reading this book 😂😂 well...I'll stop when it isn't working. 😂😁✌ anyway, here it is...

Leo is currently on the tub, playing with the water. He had just cried and cut himself again. His now wounded wrist is swaying on the water making it beautifully red. He ruffled his hair in frustration. He knows he shouldn't have acted like a chic back there when Ravi is apologizing but it's just too good to be true. Even if that was just a dream, he would do the same. It's also because he can't lie to himself that he was hurt. He knows if had just forgive him everything will go back to the way it was. It will be alright again but he just can't look at him with disgust on his face. He can't touch him as if he is a poison. He can't bare those pain just yet. He needed time. He idly took the knife on the floor and trace the line of a newly cut wound, deepening it with the sharp edge. He groaned from the pain and throws it harshly away. He swayed his hands again untill he heared several knocks on his door. He quickly stood up and dried his arm with a towel, pulling his sleeve down after then made his way out of the bathroom. He is glued to the floor. It's been a long time since someone knocked on the door and during that time, he is not scared to open it and bothered if ever someone sees how old and lonely the dorm looks like. The lights are always off. He only uses the lamp shade as the source yet it just make the room less creepy. He just calmed a bit when he heard the voice. "Leo? Are you there?" It was Soomi. He opened the door making two girls scream. He was just wearing black sweatshirt and black pants, pale skin and slightly shown by the little light of the dark room.

"I-it's me." he said making Soomi hit him slightly on his chest.

"Damn it Leo. You scared us." she said as she slightly pushed him in and dragged inside her company who seems disagree. "What the hell is up with the light?" she asked.

"S-sorry. I forgot to turn it on." He lied and went to the switch then turned it on. He covered his eyes as it almost blinds him.

"You forgot? What are you even doing? Are you sleeping?" Soomi added with Hani not leaving her arm.

"Y-yes." Leo lied again.

Soomi dropped some ingtedients to the counter and inspected the surroundings. She walked over to Leo, unclasping Hani's hands off of her arm and mouthed her a 'stop it coward' making her stomp like a kid. She took his hands off of his face and saw his puffy eyes. She frowned and carress his cheeks, looking up since he's tall. "Look. Don't punish yourself like this. You have to eat. You're giving me anxiety, you know?" she said worriedly to Leo who bowed his head. He nodded. Soomi can't help but to missed caring Leo. She want to bring back the way they are before but she can't. She knows that she need to keep in mind that it won't be the same again. She smiled with a bit of dissapointment. She put her hands on his neck and tiptoed as she kissed his cheeks making both Leo and Hani to widened their eyes at her sudden action. She giggled. "I'm going to cook you something so please take a rest. I also dragged Hani with me so that you have someone to talk while I'm busy." she said as she started to take the ingredients out from the plastic bag. Leo sighed but blushed when he remembered what she just did. Hani who is acting like a baby tugged on Soomi's sleeve. Soomi looked at her. "What is it? What are the two of you still standing there?" she asked. Leo suddenly become embarrassd that he knows nothing in keeping someone company. Hani bit her lower lip. She is also embarrass at her friend. 'Damn this brat. Does she think I'm a doll that can make a child happy? As if Leo will speak when he's with me?' She looked over to Leo whose eyes are now wide open. "Where is your knife?" she asked as she searched for it. Leo quickly went to the cabinet under the counter which is for stocks of utensils.

"I-I forgot where it was...you see...I haven't been cooking anything. I must've misplaced it. Let's just look for another one." he said as he desperately searched for it until he saw an old one. "I'll wash it first." he said then cleaned it, making sure it is safe to use. He handed it to Soomi who is obviously trying to forget how suspicious he is at that part. Leo sighed in relief but against his knowledge, Hani saw every tense and relaxed expression that he made. She is observing Leo knowing something is weird about him untill she saw blood dripping from his fingertips then down to the floor. She widened her eyes and screamed.
