***Leo POV***

“What is exactly is life?” Ravi asks.

I look at Ken who is sleeping on my bed. I tuck him under the cover. I clasp his cold hand and squeeze it. I try to warm it up as much as I can.

“Life is a way to waste time,” I reply.

“Then all we do is waste?” he asks.

“Depends how you see it.”

Ken twitches. It makes me bit worried. I give his hand another squeeze.

“Why weren’t you with him?”

“I was being dumb,” I say.

Ravi pulls my shoulder and makes me face him. He looks upset. I wait for him to lecture me.

“JaeHwan was really confident at one point in his life, but it’s different now. I’m here to be his support because I promised. I can’t always be with him so I need you to fill in for me when I’m not around. TaekWoon if you like him then standing up for him won’t be a problem.”

I nod my head in agreement. Ravi stares at Ken. I let out loud sigh. Ravi walks over to the comfy chair in the room and lies down. The room is silent after a while. I feel myself drifting. I rest my head on the bed.

I will protect him. Even if it means going against HakYeon.

***Ken POV***

I feel something gripping my hand really tight. The only reason I can move my hand around is sweat. I open my eyes and see Leo’s sleeping face. It makes my heart flutter. I look up at the ceiling and notice something if off.

This isn’t my room! This is Leo’s room?

My heart beats faster. I try to calm myself down. I still feel a bit lethargic. I pull Leo onto the bed next to me. I grab Leo’s arm and wrap around me. It makes me feel secure. I close my eyes and fall asleep one more time.

--------

After I wake up, I notice Leo is still asleep. I slip out from underneath him. I slowly make my way around the room. Leo’s room is very minimalistic. It gives off a calm feeling. Something catches my attention. I walk over to it and I see a picture of N and him. They don’t seem that happy. On the other hand, Leo looks so cute.

My stomach growls. I grab it and look around to check if there’s any kind of food lying around. I think I heard Leo say he lives by himself. Getting my hands on food shouldn’t be hard.

I walk out of room quietly. When I look out the room, I notice it’s still bright outside. I keep walking down the hall. I start to hear people speaking as I walk down. Like a nosy person, I head towards it. I see it’s coming from a room whose door is slightly open.

I convince myself to walk away, but it surprises me when I hear Ravi’s voice. I walk back immediately. I look in through the crack. I watch N play with his hands. Ravi reaches over and grabs one of them. N looks at him with a hurt expression. What is going on?

“WonS…”

A hand covers my mouth and another wraps around my waist. A calming shushing noise goes into my ear. I look to the side and Leo looks at me. He lets go then grabs my hand. He pulls me away. We both enter the kitchen.

Leo sticks close to me. He wraps his arms around me. I feel a bit awkward with his sudden change in character.

“What’s wrong?” I ask.

“I’m sorry for being a jerk,” he replies.

“Are you ready to talk?”

“Mhm…” he nuzzles his face on my neck. “You won’t leave me, right?”

I rest my head back on his chest.

“I won’t if you make me some food.”

Leo takes me serious. I begin to laugh.

“I’m playing. I won’t leave. I promise.”

I turn around and face Leo. I grab his chubby cheeks and pinch them. I stop then pull him into a kiss.

“Hey TaekWoon…”

“Yeah?”

“If we ever go farther than this, I’m topping.”

Leo’s face went even blanker. I pull him into another kiss. This time I nibble on his lips and playfully .

“What are you guys doing?” someone asks.

Leo tightens his grip on me. We both look at N and Ravi. I smile awkwardly as Leo clings onto me.

“I’m kissing my boyfriend,” Leo tells him.

My eyes open wide as I look at Leo. N’s jaw drops. Ravi looks to the side
