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.

"The day is a lot brighter.....It seems my schedules for today is gone as well..."

Leo again shifted his gaze back to Hakyeon's feet, Hakyeon's toenails were almost digging through the brown carpet beneath his feet. And Leo could very well feel the Hakyeon's blunt fingernails digging into his both palm. Leo again didn't know what he was doing and what was it that was so hard? He just couldn't tell.

"Should we go out for a walk?"

Hakyeon just flatly offered, Leo finally looked at Hakyeon. His eyes were red-rimmed, the tear stains still visible, and his whole face seemed red because of constant rubbing last night. Even his fringes were swiped behind, viewing his forehead. Hakyeon didn't look at him, just his teeth bit the inside part of his lips,

Leo moved such as he was standing before him, scaling his eyes with Hakyeon's .

Hakyeon guiltily avoided his eyes, looking at ... well he didn't know where to look at. He lowered his eyes to look a down but those pink rosy puffy lips having a slight upturn at the end maybe natural or maybe smirk greeted him and then the strong jawline that seemed too appealing to Hakyeon when he was a man-made Hakyeon feel a twist inside of his stomach. He instantly lowered his gaze a little more, at Leo's throat but that Adam's apple just had to make it weirder. He looked a little more down to give his eyes rest and stop his mind from noticing things that was appealing about a man. But he ended up noticing how much of Leo's neckline was always revealed showing his perfect collar bones and wide shoulder.

Was his shoulders always this wide?

Hakyeon lowered his vision more, and then the weird feeling increased in a massive amount because his tight white chest was always bare, like he never buttoned up those three buttons that Hakyeon had been mentioning from the very first day, and it looked more whiter and smooth for some reason. And when he looked a little more down, the spot that his eyes caught was not exactly something that he should look at. Looking a little lower..nah, his vision wouldn't go any further down without moving his head or at least lowering his head. His cheeks started to get redder thanks to the embarrassing sights.

Hakyeon turned his gaze completely away from him, but Leo moved with his eyes. Again letting his vision get a perfect view of everything that obviously his fangirls used to scream about when he was alive. Hakyeon didn't know why but the thought fangirls always seeing him in this state kinda made him snort inside, but meantime he himself found that weird that he snorted.

Maybe it's because of the lack of sleep that my mind is seeing things differently...

Hakyeon again looked away, Leo also repeated the process.

"What?" Hakyeon finally asked a little pouting looking at Leo's eyes.

Leo didn't reply, just ran his eyes all over Hakyeon's body once. Hakyeon felt the gaze and his heartbeat snapped for one second when Leo stopped at his lips, but soon cursed himself because Leo stared right into his eyes after that second. Looking at him with questionable eyes.

He probably felt it as well....shit....

Did his heart....huh?

"What are you looking at so much? Never seen me before? I'm always standing before you! So what are you doing? I asked you if you wanted to go for a walk! Not to scan me! And why were you even staring at my lips? That's so weird!" Hakyeon mumbled in a slight louder tone, maybe to fide the frustrated state he was in.

Leo scowled as he took his hand out. Hakyeon looked at him raising his hand, slowly coming forward, his fingers above his nose, then moving up, to his forehead, Hakyeon didn't know why but he gulped.

Then.. it went through his forehead, Hakyeon felt a bit disappointed though he shouldn't have. Maybe it was because he knew it won't happen was why he was disappointed, but still he wondered what else had he expected if not this.

"I wish I could push you down on your bed now...."

That was all Hakyeon needed for his mind to start mixing all the weird appealing things that he had seen on Leo and start a final movie out of them. Hakyeon could feel steam coming out of his ears as he looked at Leo's eyes with all the power in his body. And he felt as if his blunt nails could make the blood gush out at any time.

"Wha-what are you talking about?!" Hakyeon stammered.

"Sit atop you..."

"YA!!!" Hakyeon took a step back, Leo took his hand away and put it in his pocket.

"And place a few punches on your face."

Hakyeon perked his eyebrow up, a bit dumbfounded, an awkward smile flashed up on his face, he parted his lips a little.

"What?"

"Two on your right cheek, two on your left."

"You were talking about hitting me? Oh...."

Leo made the face at him,

"What did you think?"

"Huh? Nothing...." Hakyeon said jerking his from side to side. Resting his hand by his side.

"I haven't slept enough last night, so my mind isn't working properly. So you wanna go out? Shall I get ready?"

Leo just nodded, a smile finally flashed across the tear stained feature of Hakyeon. Leo whirled around, again walking towards the window. Hakyeon just clasped his hand behind him, a bit relieved finally.

"I'm glad! I really thought that you would be so mad that you wouldn't even talk with me. Thanks so much!"

"HMM... I'm also glad."

Hakyeon opened the washroom door, stepping inside of it he asked gleefully,

"For what?"

Leo took a few minutes to reply, Hakyeon waited.

"Just that your PMS is over..."

"Yeah! You are right! I'm glad as well!!" Hakyeon shouted slamming the washroom door, Leo turned around to look at his direction with shocked eyes.

What?

But just when Leo was about to utter another word, Hakyeon peaked inside the room, a little grin on his face.

"But what's PMS?"

Leo scoffed hearing his question.

He aint serious...

But seeing the expression on Hakyeon's face, Leo very well knew that, he was serious.

"Pathetic mood swing..." Leo lied.

"Ow!! Hehe! Yeah, I'm glad too!" Saying so Hakyeon sent Leo his ear to ear grin. Leo caught unprepared just swerved his head away from him.

"Hurry..." He murmured.

"Okay!" another slam on the door while Leo just hid his own smile behind his own left hand.

Darn you...and your smile......

"That's strange.... But I just counted them yesterday...." Ravi mumbled as he walked into the house.

"Why is it less in number? I don't understand.... But it shouldn't be...." Ravi kept on mumbling, without even looking where he was going. As a result he didn't even notice Ken standing before the stove with a frying pan in his hand and bumped into him.

"Ahh... sorry... I didn't see you there..." Ravi said, not bothering to look at him, he started striding away. Ken followed his movement, while Ravi just ruffled the hair in the back of his head looking dumbfounded as always. Ravi was so focused in his thoughts that he didn't even realize Ken was also walking behind him. Ravi stopped, so did Ken. Ravi spun on his heel only to be startled again by the exorcist's presence right behind him, that he had not predicted at all. Ravi took a several step back to regain his balance after the shock, he exhaled a deep breath, patting his chest lightly. Ken rolled his eyes at Ravi,

"Don't tell me that you haven't noticed me behind you...."

"How long were you there?" Ravi asked glaring at him from head to toe.

Ken sneered at him,

"No need for you to know. What are you mumbling there?"

Ken;s question brought Ravi into reality. He again put on a serious expression on his eyes, hand scratching his jaw a bit.

"Say hyung, have you seen anyone going into my garden today?" Ravi asked, just a spark of confusion in his tone. Ken didn't even think, just flatly replied.

"Hmm... Hongbin.... He even plucked a few half dead flowers."

"He did what? Why did he do that? He never asked anything to me about it..."

"I told him to ask for your permission but he said that they were withering and you also wanted to get rid of them so he took them away and threw them in the trash can. He said it's better to have a good looking garden for as long as it is still there then to fill a garden with some dead black weeds."

Ravi just nodded slowly. And naturally the next question came out of his mouth,

"Where is Hongbin? I haven't seen him till now....where is .........he?"

"He was going to Seoul today. He had photoshoot there..after all our Hongbin is an upcoming model. Hyuk took him, since well... it is his company, so he preferred going along with him and see the photo shoot with his own eyes."

Ravi felt a tiny stitch in a side of his stomach, what Ken told him last night just flashed inside of his mind. He tried to sound as casual as he could slowly hand reaching for the phone in his pocket,

"Seoul? Where? Did he tell the address?"

"Nah... ask Hakyeon hyung... They said they will meet him before."

Ravi's hand stopped. For some obnoxious reason Ravi did not like the idea of them visiting him, surely there was no problem since Hongbin and Hyuk was together but that's exactly what he thought of as problem. After all Hakyeon once did ask him why he returned from Yeseob's concert alone and Hongbin and Hyuk was together on that day as well.

No, Ravi wasn't saying he was suspecting them for anything, but that's exactly what his mind was saying. And he, trying to prove his mind wrong wanted to confirm about Hongbin and the flower incident. His fingers automatically dialed Hongbin's number. It rang a few times, then switched off. Ravi looked at the phone baffled. Tentatively he called Hakyeon, not once, not twice but maybe 20 times. Nobody picked it up. A small panic grew inside of Ravi, he looked at Ken with eyes filled with question.

Ken on the other hand showed no trace of concern on his face, as if he was waiting for Ravi to utter the same obvious thing that Ravi yet had not realized.

"Hongbin ain't picking up." Ravi announced, Ken closed his eyes, shrugging his one shoulder,

"Maybe posing before the cameraman..." Ken's voice sharp on the edge, almost like a mock when he knew what was crossing Ravi's mind,the same thought that had crossed his when he saw Hongbin on the night of Ravi's capture. Opening his eyes slightly to look at the person before him who yet again put the phone to his ear to get his call ignored, Ken parted his lips a little.

"But N hyung ain't picking up either." Ravi muttered, Ken's lips automatically clasped together. A frown between his brows formed and he quietly asked, almost threatening,

"What?"

"N hyung, I called him 20 times by now. He won't pick up. I don't underst-WHoA!" Ravi cried before he could finish his sentence from the sudden grabbing of his upper arm by Ken who urgently tugged him as he himself strode towards the door.

"What are you doing?"

"Isn't it obvious?" Ken replied opening the garage door with full strength,

"Going to meet Hakyeon."

Another alarm from the phone, Taekwoon sitting on the bed started to wander what was the alarm for. Hakyeon stood before the mirror taking of all the accessories he had on his body, starting with the earring. He wore a black shirt with black pants. He even tucked his shirt in before getting away from the mirror.

Leo looked at Hakyeon, who went to get his phone covered in black from head to toe. Hakyeon looked at Leo, as expressionless as always, but he still could read that confused thoughts of him. Hakyeon slightly smiled, the upturn of his lips were vague suddenly. A guilty look flashed on his eyes as he looked at the confused Leo.

A knock on the door. Hakyeon and Leo turned their head around, another one.

Leo shifted his gaze to Hakyeon once who just simply shrugged before walking to the door. Turning the door knob, opening it to be greeted by two of his dongsens grumpy face.

Hongbin and Hyuk stood there.

Hakyeon surprised at the sudden visit just simply uttered a single oh. Leo also got up on his feet. Hakyeon took a few steps back before siding a little, so Hyuk and Hongbin could get in. They didn't smile, just automatically got in and Hongbin went to the bed while Hyuk went to search on the furniture. Hakyeon again surprised followed Hyuk and asking,

"What are you doing Hyoggi?"

Hyuk didn't reply, ignoring Hakyeon totally he continued his rummage. Hongbin pulling the bed sheet and throwing the pillow on the ground finally turned to Hakyeon, no change in expression.

"Where's your phone?"

"My phone... in my pocket." Hakyeon simply said, touching his phone from the outside of his pocket.

"HUH?" Hongbin and Hyuk both cried at the same time. Hakyeon stunned stumbled on his own feet while he took two steps back.

"Do you know how many times we had called you?" Hongbin started.

"I had to go to through an embarrassing session of looking for a guy through a whole building who just had his phone in his pocket?" Hyuk finished.

"Ahh.. I did saw the calls but my phone was silent and I thought of contacting you after I had went out to eat my breakfast" Surely Hakyeon wasn't planning to contact them, neither his phone was silent but a little lie couldn't have hurt that much.

"You still haven't had breakfast?" The very first normal question of Hongbin to Hakyeon also in a normal tone. Hakyeon shook his head a little.

"I was almost eliminated yesterday so I was a bit sulky."

"You were what?" Hyuk shot the question rather loudly, Hakyeon turned to him.

"You know hyung, this competition is not only about you now.... I had to pull strings as well."

Hongbin and Hakyeon both turned to Hyuk, well Leo as well, but of course Hyuk didn't see him.

"And that's......relevant because?" Hongbin asked.

"Well,I just made a bet with my PS that umma will win. So he can't be eliminated." Hyuk pouted. Hongbin sneered at Hyuk's pout while Hakyeon chuckled. A small smile formed on Leo's face as well.

"Sorry hyuk... I'll make sure that doesn't happen again. Why are you two here?"

"Why? Well, to meet you of course" Hyuk asked as if that was the most absurd question he had ever heard in his entire life.

"And spend the rest of the day with you.." Hongbin said as a matter of fact.

Hakyeon's face gave away a fake smile, something that Hongbin and Hyuk had not expected. Hakyeon was annoyed at that , he just did not want to destroy the time of his walk with Taekwoon when it took such a huge toll on him to ask him for that. Leo's usually expressionless face also showed an emotion that may have been got ignored by Hyuk and Hongbin but Hakyeon saw it well, and his fake smile even became wider, half from annoyance and half from anger.

Leo was actually anticipating this walk.....damn you two....

He didn't know why Leo's drop of face mattered to him more than his own disappointment, but he didn't bother to know. He simply clasped his hands together.

"Ahh! That's so nice of you!" Hakyeon said. He could give a false reason to get out of this plan by saying he had practice to attend but he also very well knew Hyuk had the power to arrange a wild card challenge, so calling to give him a break was a piece of cake for him. Over that he was already having a holiday, which would do nothing but turn him into a liar. He let out a silent exhale which went unnoticed by everyone but Leo. Leo slowly walked behind him, surely his hand couldn't touch Hakyeon, but he yet pretended to put his hand on Hakyeon's shoulder and leaned to his ears.

"Let's just continue this after they leave, okay?" He whispered.

Hakyeon's ears again started to get red, Leo feeling the heat just moved away a little, mouth a little opened shaped a little 'o' as his eyes observed the stoned Hakyeon. Surely Hakyeon knew what Taekwoon meant by continuing this but his mind just played the words in a complete different way and now he was wondering why suddenly was he thinking of those things, on today of all day.

"Hyung.....what's wrong?" Hongbin asked looking at Hakyeon who's cheeks were starting to get red as well. Hakyeon flinched, a bit jittery from the weird feeling in his stomach suddenly.

"Nothing! I'M JUST glad to hear that you came to meet me! Shall we go out? Let's go!"

Hakyeon said as he whirled around, facing Leo's chest, again steam started to come out of his ears, Leo on the other hand blinked several times to understand what was wrong with Hakyeon's body. Hakyeon could just walk through Leo but instead he turned left, walked forward and then again turning right he started moving towards the door. Hongbin and Hyuk found that really weird, as they exchanged glances. Well, heck them, when the one that saw why Hakyeon moved like that along with Hakyeon himself didn't know what was going on over there.
