He's in the Rain

chapter three

"Hyung! Tell us!" Beomgyu kept on forcing Yeonjun to tell him what happened after they left yesterday, when that man asked him to go share the umbrella again. He didn't want to, he gets too shy to tell something his friends don't know, but they are so annoying that they kept on asking Yeonjun to tell it for about four hours now, especially Beomgyu.

It's now their lunch break and they headed down a few minutes ago. They're now just talking about whatever after they ordered. Huening Kai and Taehyun decided to join them both in eating. It's their break too anyway. "Okay, okay. Calm down. I'll tell you. geez."

"Alright. Let's go...?" Yeonjun didn't know what to call the man. He doesn't know his name.

"Soobib. Choi Soobin," the man replied.

Yeonjun nodded, and slowly headed down to the ground floor, leaving Soobin behind so he could just follow him. As they were heading out the building, Yeonjun opened the umbrella and held it above them both. Soobin immediately walked closely to Yeonjun, not even leaving an inch between the two of them.

It was so awkward, but when Soobin moved even closer, to the point where their faces brushed against each other, it became even more awkward. Their bodies reacted when their faces touched, both of them feeling the reactions. Yeonjun couldn't even breathe properly. He doesn't have any idea why Soobin, the man right beside him, is making him nervous.

Walking for a while now, they didn't know what was happening. All Yeonjun knew was that they were heading to the direction of his house. He didn't know where Soobin lives, nor why is he not telling him where to go. Yeonjun has no idea when will they separate ways. Plus, he doesn't know how will they both get home with only one umbrella used.

While thoughts occupied Yeonjun's mind, he was startled to feel that Soobin's hands were taking the umbrella from him. Yeonjun slowly let go of his grip of the umbrella and let the other hold it. It would be easier to cover both of them from the rain anyway. It's very much obvious that Soobin is taller than Yeonjun.

"Where do you live?" Soobin started the conversation. Yeonjun was confused. Is it really necessary for Soobin to know his address?

"Wht do you need to know?" Yeonjun asked.

"To get you home, obviously."

Oh, right. Yeonjun didn't think of that. Soobin was the owner of the umbrella, so he might take it back after he sends him home. Yeonjun is not sure, but he just keeps on walking as he told Soobin his address.

"Oh, there. That small, white house with those black gates." Soobin nodded and they both headed that way. As they arrived at Yeonjun's house, the rain became even heavier. Soobin sighed. He's gonna get soaked up now for sure. The umbrella may be useless.

Yeonjun looked at the other. His face screamed problematic. Maybe Soobin was thinking of how to get home without getting soaked up by the rain, or how long will the heavy rain last so he could go home without worrying his parents. "Soobin," Yeonjun called, almost stuttering. He took the courage to call Soobin.

Soobib looked back, turning to Yeonjun. "Yes?"

"Why don't you stay for a while?" The older felt shy. "Just until the rain gets lighter."
