On The Cold Night

65

Ravi knitted his brows. Surely, they are aware that he watched over him last night as he insisted them to leave him to him but it made him nervous.

"I waited until he wakes up. What's up with that?" he asked, slowly relaxing.

"And? After that?" Hakyeon motioned him to continue.

"H-he told me to go home since he can handle himself." Ravi don't really know what's wrong. The last time he checked on Leo's mood, he seems to be totally fine.

"Y-you went home without him?" The question made Ravi a bit flustered. Of course he woukd want to take him home to their dorm but the next thing he said worried him. "But he didn't went home until four." Ravi's heart skipped a bit.

"W-what do you mean?" he asked. Hakyeon saw the pure  worry in his tone which makes him more confused.

"He wasn't in the nurse room that night when I came to visit him and Hongbin said he went home at around five in the morning....we thought you two are together since Ken also found out that you weren't in your dorm." Ravi again became nervous this time for himself. "...where were you that night, Wonshik?" He kept his head low. "Answer me." He looked up at the oldest, trying to look dominant.

"It' s none of your business if I sleep with my friends." he replied.

"Wonshik....Leo seems to k ow something and I'm sure he was really hurt. He cried a lot and wasn't able to tell me what's bothering him. Now tell me what is it that he found out." Hakyeon said almost yelling as anger and frustration clouded him. Ravi bit his lip and hold onto the  desk firmly while leaning onto it.

"Didn't I say I sleot with my friends. If it bothered him that much then he should bot because that is why he left me...because I can handle myself. I can do it without him!" he yelled back. Hakyeon looked at him in disbelief.

"....he is just thinking what's good for you...you don't k kw but he do...all he thinks is what's the best for you and this is how you're going to treat him? Open your eyes, Wonshik. You really are stupid." Halyeon said while tears pouring down on his face. He then went out, slamming the door once he got out. Soon after that, chairs and tables flew everywhere.

"Why is it me again? Why the fuck am I the one to blame again?....I'm the one hurting here...why can't anyone comfort me?..." Ravi cried as he fell to the floor sobbing.

Leo went to the comfort room and it made him smile when Hyuk won't leave his side. He pretended to be washing his face just so he can follow him there. He patted his back once he is done washing his hand and dried them.

"I am just going to wash my hands. Don't worry. Look." he said to make the kid free from worries as he showed him his arms that only have marks from his last cuts. Hyuk smiled. It's weird to react that way while staring at the evidence of Leo's hardship to survive but seeing that there weren't new ones is a huge relief to him. He turned to Leo still wearing the same smile.

"Hyung...I hope you don't do these again....peomise me." Leo is so used to making promises that he knew even before accepting them, won't really be accomplished. He is a sucker for lies but it still feel bad to do it especially for hopeful people and to those who trusted his words whole heartedly. He sighed but smile. In the end, his usual self won.

".....promised." Hyuk immediately smiled more and hugged him so tighty causing him ti beg for him to stop but the boy is in violent mode. They then went back to the theater room and were curious why Hakyeo isn't there when Ms. Choi told them to be there after lunch.
