On The Cold Night

45

Leo entered their classroom alone. He is not with Ravi as he came to the library very early and just left his breakfast at the counter. He the made his first few steps when little whispers didn't escaped his ears.

"Have you heard? One of his previous classmate told me that he is gaying over Ravi. He also said that he broke up with his first gilfriend because he likes him. I heard she's also here in our section." Hyerin whispered to Jyeonghwa. Leo paused for a while.

"Really? Seriously. That's so diagusting." the latter reacted with her hand on her mouth.

"Shh. He's there." Hyerin said and they both strengten themselves as if talking about nothing. Leo didn't move.

"Are you sure he won't get interested in me? Look how attracted I am? I'm sure he is looking at me from his seat. Look just how close he is to me? Haha." Erik laughed. Daniel hissed at him.

"Stupid. I said I just heard it from the other boys outside. They said they become scared of even getting near him. That's kinda harsh though." Daniel said. Leo trembled. He might get a panic attack if he failed to control himself so he played a music from the earphone that is now plugged in to his ears. He walked back to his seat and startled Erik and Daniel. He didn't pay attention as they greet him. He played a music and laid his head on top of his crossed arms on his desk. He looked outside and watched as small raindrops stained the windowpane. Small tears fell on the corner of his eyes again. He got disgusted to himself for being a crybaby but he guessed the pain and bitter life that he have is enough excuse to let himself be. He knows Jooheon has something to do about the spreading rumors about him again but he's not blaming him. Whether he spread them or not, people will still think of him that way. They will still judge him so there's no point to fuss about it. He took a deep breath then rushed his hands over his eyes to dry them when someone touched his shoulder. He turned to see the new most annoying person in his life.

"How are you?" Jimin asked with a smile on her face. She put her bag down and sat on her seat, still looking at him. He didn't glare or rolled his eyes at her but simply looked away. He's not in the mood to be angry. "I missed meeting you. What do you think about meeting every after class?" she asked. Leo took a deep breath again.

"Don't talk to me." he almost whispered. He is afraid the others might hear them and think something else between them. Jimin smiled.

"I'll visit you in your dorm later." she said. With that, Leo lost all control and can't help but to roll his eyes. He twitched his face a little when he accidentally hit his legs out of annoyance. His cuts stings.

"Fuck." he cursed under his breath. Jimin frowned.

"What? Is something hurting?" she asled worriedly as she held him on his arm to inspect.

"Don't touch me!" he almost yelled as he shoved her hands away. They looked at him shocked. He also frozed at his outburst and quickly bowed his head when he realized it. "I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to raise my voice." he apologized to her and sat properly. Jimin smiled.

"It's fine. It was my fault. I'm sorry I won't bother you again. Leo didn't reply and looked away. Ravi knitted his brows. 'What's up with these two? Are they really that close?' he thought. He glanced at him one more time before proceeding to his seat together with Ken and the others.

"Rumors about Leo hyung is going on again like before. He might needs us. He might get affected again." Hyuk said. Ravi took a deep breath. He actually heard two girls talking about Leo's next target and it's enough to ruin his day. Luckily, he is accompanied by thr others so he wouldn't end up in the principal's office again. They all sat properly when Mr. Park, their psychology professor came in.
