On The Cold Night

47

Ravi was about to knock at the door to the nurse room but paused when he heard someone else. Leo is talking to someone. He knows it's very inappropriate to listen to someone else's conversation but discovering it's Jooheon's voice, he can't help but to eavesdrop.

"I-I know I hurt you like a real demon I am....I'm really sorry." Jooheon said with a frown.

"Do you want me to think you have multiple personality? I don't know if you're really apologizing or just faking it. How will I trust you after all what you've done?" Leo said sternly. Jooheon knitted his brows.

"I know it's hard to believe but I really regreted it. Soomi's parents hated me for that and now they won't allow to continue our arranged marrige. I....I got possesive during those times....I actually did everthing just to be able to go back here. I really want to apologize, Leo." he then kneeled down causing Leo to frown at him and sat properly.

"Hey. Get up. Stupid." he said but can't move anymore since he is still woozy.

"I got depressed. My parents only talk to me whenever I'm causing trouble..." Jooheon stated with sadness and tears streaming down his face. Leo got worried. "....I like Soomi and I'm really happy that our parents enganged us but I saw that she don't like it. I don't want to hurt her so I told her that I also don't feel something for her in a romantic way just to let her admit that she don't like me. She did....and then we decided to make our parents stop it so they did....but they sent me here and I hate it. I refused because I know they won't care less if I'm far away. I hate them but they made Soomi enroll here as well so I accepted....they didn't call or send me letters. They just sent me damn money to live....I want their love....I'm so sorry that I did those things to you just to be a rebel. I'm an idiot. I'm really sorry." he said then cried to the floor. Leo breathed deeply as he forced himself to sat to the floor in front of him. He was just about to brush his back so he could comfort him but he leaped on him and hugged him tightly. Leo was taken aback but returned the hug anyway. Somehow, he realized that they have some similarities with their family issues. Ravi who is now sneaking got pushed inside by Ken and the others as they entered. The sudden action caused the two men to turn towards the direction of the noise with a strartled look. They all paused once they saw the two.

"That's Jooheon!" Hyuk yelled after recognizing the guy who is hugging Leo. Ken then glared at him and then took him away from Leo with the younger's help.

"What the hell you jerk!" Ken yelled at him as he was about to give him a blow on his face with Hyuk holding his arms. Leo panicked.

"N-No! Stop!" he shouted and forced himself to stand up but his voice was too weak that no one seemed to hear it. Ravi widened his eyes but was too late to stop the scene as Leo crawled on Jooheon and recieved the punch that was supposed to be for Jooheon. He flew to the side causing Soomi and Hani to scream as he landed on their feet. They were all shocked and stopped what their doing.

"Leo!!! Fuck!" Ravi yelled and helped him to sit up. He got more worried when a bruise started to form on the corner of his lip and blood could be seen on his mouth as he breathed heavily on it which shows his bloody small teeth. Ken widened his eyes and he also sat on his heels to help Ravi.

"L-Leo...I..I'm really sorry." he apologized. Leo sighed.

"It's fine. But let him go." They all glance at one another, puzzled at his words. "Can't you see that he is crying?" he said. They all turn to Jooheon who is currently wiping his tears and sobbing silently behind Hyuk. Hongbin cleared his throat to calm everyone.

"Let's settle Leo back to the bed and apologize to Jooheon. He seems to be having a hard time. We might've disturb them. Ravi's blood boil at how it sounded like Leo and Jooheon needs to be alone. He helped Leo to stand and laid phis weight on his arms as they walked over to the bed.
