On The Cold Night

"Ravi! Are you stupid?" Ken yelled. Ravi just ruined his hair. He is also frustrated.

"What? Didn't you hear what they will do to him? Hyuk surely got scared." Ravi said.

"Yeah but the sanction to him might worsen for not submitting peacefully. We don't even know yet what punishment is waiting for him." Ken fought back like a real hyung. Hani who left her friends to join Soomi was surprised. She hadn't seen this side of him yet.

"And we also don't know if he really did something where he worth to be treated like that. We need to know first. I won't just let those fuckers to hurt him easily." Ravi fought back and then turned his back at him.

"Where are you going?" Ken asked when Ravi was making huge steps.

"I'll find him." he replied then run.

"Wonshik!" Ken yelled but Hakyeon held his arm.

"L-let him." he said with his other hand on his eyes, still trying to contain his tears with Hongbin's help.

"Hyung. You need to calm down. We'll search for Hyuk." Hongbin said.

"Y-yeah. Do it. He must be crying by now. I'm fine. Let's meet at the locker room once you found him. I'm sure they'll search in our dorms." Hakyeon said. Hongbin nodded.

"Ken hyung...be here with N hyung. Soomi. Stay with them and Hani." Soomi nodded then watched Hongbin run away. Ken continued Hongbin's job which is calming their eldest. Soomi and Hani felt very sad.

"W-will Hyuk really cry?" Hani asked no one in particular. Ken smiled bitterly.

"He will." he answered causing Hani to pout. She remembered all the times that she spend with him, all the teasing, all the bonding with him with stuffs about bl. She realized that after getting mad at Ken, she acted like she didn't know them and hadn't been with the youngest. Her pouting face quickly lead to tears and indecent cry. Soomi frowned and started to soothe her friend as well. Ken found himself almost about to hug her but he stopped. He mentally slapped himself for acting out of his impulse. Soomi smiled at him.

Leo luckily caught up with the kid. He took of his coat and other accesories and just throwed them on the side while still running after Hyuk. He is also a fast runner but the two gurads sure weren't hired for nothing. They can atleast see Leo's figure so when he saw a crowd on his way, that's the time that he took his coat off and run faster. The two guards searched for him around. They can still see him but didn't know that it's him since he isn't wearing his coat anymore which is their basis of who to catch up with. They stopped right there as they already loose track of him and just gave a message to the stuffs who monitor the CCTVs saying they need help. Leo kept following Hyuk until he stopped at the stuck room. He went in and hid on the corner most part of the room. He pulled his knees close to his chest and cried like a kid he is. Leo panted as he also went in and closed the door. The room is dark so he couldn't see through it.

"H-Hyuk....it's me. Leo. Don't be afraid." the boy isn't responding but the sound of his sobs became Leo's map to track him. He bumped into things occasionally causing him to groan but then, he saw a light from the corner. The kid must've been scared and shy so instead of telling his location, he just used his phone to give source to his location. Leo sighed and smiled. He walked there until he frowned at the rare sight of the kid. He is crying too much. Leo sat on his heels and cupped his cheeks and started wiping his tears which is a bit useless as he kept staining his face with another more tears. "Hyuk. What's wrong?" he asked. The kid cried more.

"L-leave me....alone." he cried. Leo got hurt. He never thought that there will be a day that he will say those words to him but he kept getting closer.
