Fate

Chapter 19

The phone rang again. Hakyeon could feel the vibration through the mattress. But he refused to pick it up. Pulling the quilt over his face, he groaned in annoyance. He never got a call in this early morning, well it was not that early since it was already past ten am but he just didn't want to open his eyes.

Reason, he didn't want to look at Leo. So being as foolish as he could he tried to act as if he was asleep.

Leo stood before the window, looking down at the street, hands shoved into his pockets. Breeze messed the curtains up. Blocking his vision. It pissed Leo off a little reminding him that he couldn't do anything to remove that curtain, after all he could never touch them. But then he stopped caring, it wasn't like he was looking at anything particular. He just saw people walking, just saw them holding another's hand, holding objects, doing everything that normal people could do, and he couldn't.

He was doing it for a while, he didn't know for how long.

Today that simple human thing seemed daringly beautiful to him. Hakyeon's groan reached his ears, he moved his head a little, so he could at least see him with the corner, but Hakyeon couldn't see him.

Hakyeon peered through the quilt, eyes opened a slit searching for Leo, who was standing right before him. His back facing him. His heart sank a little. His eyes were still red. The few hours nap that he had taken last night was not enough rest for his eyes.

And looking at Leo he again felt his eyes would start bawling out.

Last night Leo didn't say a single word to Hakyeon when he soaked his pillow with his tears. And whenever Hakyeon sneaked a glance at him, he saw Leo just sleeping on the couch with his hand over his eyes. It torn his inside apart when Leo was that cold. Hakyeon was so used to Leo always looking at him, from afar for the past month that he didn't even realize that it was a part of his own life now. He needed Leo to look at him, he needed it bad. And that thought again made Hakyeon sob harder, but Leo didn't budge. The thought it was your fault to begin with was clearly written all over his face.

Ten first mocked at him saying he shouldn't be crying when he told Hakyeon on the very first day that he would be eliminated. But when Hakyeon cried the whole night away, even Ten became concerned, patting his back a little, offering him food, even calling the directors of the show to inform them about Hakyeon's weird behavior before leaving for practice. Well, it's not like Ten knew what was going on with Hakyeon, how could he know when Hakyeon's other part was just strikingly confused as well.

Unlike Ten, after seeing Hakyeon's weird behavior from past night, Leo decided to take it as Hakyeon's transforming time. Like werewolves turning into their full form on full moon, Hakyeon must become sensitive on this time of month, or else he didn't know what the hell happened yesterday that Hakyeon had to punch into a wall, tell him weird things and then finally cry all night long and now hiding under a blanket.

The ringing of the phone finally ceased. Hakyeon finally brought out his hand, reaching for the phone.

42 Missed calls.

Hakyeon went through the call log, the calls were at first from Hongbin, then the last 18 calls were from Ravi. It was strange for them to give so many calls, but if something strange was going on then Eunji would have called as well. Hakyeon threw the phone on the bed again, getting up he walked to the window. Leo casted a glance at Hakyeon's bare feet once when it stopped beside him, then again returned his gaze back to the street.

"It's a busy day." Hakyeon spoke up, "Too much noise.....and-"

His phone again started to ring, not from call. Just sounded like an alarm or reminder. Leo turned his face to the bed, looking at the vibrating phone. Hakyeon's breathe hitched once in his throat, before he again continued, eyes still fixed on the street and hands folded before his torso. He was still wearing the same clothes as yesterday.
