On The Cold Night

"Stop that!" their advicer shouted and Ravi could only give deathly stare at Jooheon before letting go of him harshly. Leo who is also standing up and tried to stop Ravi finally put his hands down. He failed to touch him, thinking he'll freak out.

"What the hell is going on?" the professor asked. Ken saw furious Ravi and crying Leo. He become worried.

"These shitty scumbags are making fake rumors. I am insulted and I want my right to be respected." he said trying to make his point clearer to Leo. He just want him to defend himself if the the accusations to him are wrong or admit it if they are true. Leo got the message but still cried.

"What did they say?" the man asked as he made his way in front of the three.

Ravi sighed first as he looked at Leo then faced the professor again. "They said we held hands here and that we might've maked out here." he said. The professor looked at the students.

"Didn't I told you not to make anymore insults to Leo? You wait till we get back. Everyone sit back now. Leo, are you okay?" Leo just nodded. He felt ashamed that he is crying again. Ken quickly hugged him. Leo digged his face on his shoulder. Ravi felt a bit jealous that he can't calm him like that. 'Wait. What the hell is going on with me? Why did I do those things so impulsively? Geez. I'm going crazy.' he thought. He shook his head to calm himself.

Leo wiped his tears away when he calmed a bit and laid his head on Ken's shoulder to sleep. Ken brushed the strand of hair on Leo's eyes. Ravi averted his eyes from the two. He's starting to have annoying weird feeling when he is looking at them that close.

The trip went on about four hours and they reached the next mall. They all went in and explore the mall since some of them had already bought their gowns and suit in the first mall. Leo just told Ken to buy him any black suit and he will just buy something. Ken agreed and Leo walks off. He went into a store and took some more bandages. He knows he will need more of it.

Ravi who is also walking saw him. He quickly hide but watched him. Leo picked more than necessary cotton balls making Ravi wondered why. He kept walking and Ravi need to hide more when he walks almost in front of him. Leo gasped and saw the finest brand of razor. He took a box and put it in his basket. He looks happy as he did. Ravi frowned. He become worried as to why he would buy something like that. He quickly took something to buy and followed him carefully. Leo pushed his cart to the kitchen utensils and took some tumbler then he stopped when something caught his attention. He stopped in front of knives section. He took one and watched his reflection in it. He touched the sharp side playfully and jumped a little when it cut his finger. The sales lady quickly ran over to him.

"Oh no sir! Those are very sharp. You shouldn't have touched it like that." she said worriedly as she looked at his bleeding finger. "Want us to treat that sir?" she offered. Leo quickly shook his head.

"Ah, no. No. It's fine. It's my fault anyway. I was just wondering why these dangerous objects are exposed like this. I think it's really hazardous. I'm buying this one anyway." he said and smiled.

"That's what I'm also worried about sir. Don't worry, I'll suggest something to our branch manager. Thank you for informing but....don't you really want to treat that?" she asked.

"No. It's fine." he put his finger into his mouth and sip the blood making the girl blushed at how bold he acted.

"O-okay sir. Thank you again." she said and walked away. Leo stared at his wounds and the knife. 'This one is really nice. It made such deep cut. I can feel it. That I'll need it.' he thought as he put it safely in his basket and went to the counter. Ravi quickly trailed behind him on the line.
