He's in the Rain

chapter four

"Lady, I love you..." From his bluetooth speaker connected to his phone, this song plays. Inside his house, loud but enjoyable music was playing all morning since the minute Yeonjun stood up from his bed.

"Oh. My favorite," Yeonjun said as he got familiarized by the intro of the song being played. The song was entitled "Angel 2 Me" which was sang by Mckay. And as Yeonjun said, it is his favorite song. "Injust wanna show you..." the song continued.

"From the way you touch me..." Yeonjun sang. "And kiss me to the sparkle in your eye." This is another thing that he is confident about — his attractive voice. Everyone he knew praises him for that. Even his friends do, though they hardly give compliments to Yeonjun.

The song continued, and so is Yeonjun in cleaning. Since today is a Saturday, he thought of something to not get him bored. Cleaning was the only option he liked. Other options were watching a movie, but he hardly does it. Dancing was also an option, but he doesn't want too either. So, there were two options left — cleaning and lying around all day. Instead of being too lazy, he chose to clean his house.

"Oh, how Inlove you..." The song continued together with Yeonjun's humming. "I just feel so lost without you. With my love and intuition..."

"You'll never have to say goodbye..." Yeonjun sang the line as his body swayed while he was wiping his windows. He then wondered if he will finish cleaning today. It's been months, or maybe a year and a half, since he had a general cleaning at home. Though his house is not that filthy, he still needs to clean it. Better be cleaner than not.

The song continued until it finished and more songs started. Yeonjub, who was mostly humming, sang together with the music played while now arranging his closet. He has too much clothes not being worn so he tried them out to be used for future purposes, mostly in going to work.

"Oh, wait," yeonjun suddenly spoke. "I haven't had breakfast yet." He then rushed outside his room to the kitchen to find something to cook, or to just eat. He felt hungry after mentioning his breakfast. "Ah, there's none."

He wanted to eat some kind of bread he bought yesterday, but then he remembered. He gave it all to Soobin, and ended up having nothing left for himself. He didn't know Soobin like that bread so much. There was literally none left after Soobin came. Nothing at all.

"I'm too lazy to cook," he complained to himself. "I'll just buy the bread."

Sometimes, this man may just be making excuses. He said he's too lazy to cook, but has the energy to buy bread, in which he will walk down the the streets and highways near the library where he works, then back at home. That's too much to do when you could just cook another type of food. Mayve he just really wants the bread. Oh well, it is his decision anyway.

Wearing just a hoodie and sweatpants, Yeonjun left his house to go and buy the bread he wanted for breakfast. He walked down the streets, hands on his pockets, airpods on his ears while playing songs on his playlist, and humming along with the music. It feels like he's in his own world. It feels like he's alone, living his own life like how he wanted. Carefree.

Once he reached the bakery, he brought out his money and bought as many as he wanted. And just for that bread, he went crossed these streets and highways. Now, he's going back home with a bag of bread held by his hands. He played the music again on his airpods and walked away.

When he reached the nearest street next to the street where his house is, he got surprised. "Hi."

Yeonjun jumped in surprise as the voice was heard clearly. How could he not be surprised when he said hi closely to Yeonjun's right ear. and by he, it's obviously "Soobin..."

"Did that surprise you? Hehe," Soobin shyly laughed. As Yeonjun was still trying to process what just happened, he really couldn't believe it. He thought he would never cross paths with Soobin again after yesterday. "I didn't mean to scare you, I'm sorry. I just saw you walking by so Ibcame. You can breathe, you know?"

"I'm sorry. I'm just not used to seeing you. I'm sorry again."

"It's fine. Are you going home?" Soobin seems like he could talk to Yeonjun confidently. It feels like they knew each other for years, while Yeonjun felt the opposite.

"Yeah. I went to buy bread for myself." That did not sound right. It sounded like Yeonjun was trying to tell Soobin that he bought the bread for him and not anyone else. It's not like how he unhesitatingly gave his bread yesterday to Soobin.

"Uh, okay. I'll see you." Yeonjun was once again shocked. Do they really have to see each other again? It's not like it is required, nor a need, but I guess the world just really wants them to meet. Nothing's wrong with it anyway. Soobin, before walking away from Yeonjun, smiled and said, "Bye for now, Yeonjunie."

"Yeonjunie?!" He was startled. What was that for?! It is the first time someone called him this way, and for what? For him to be cute? What the hell.

"Yeah. Yeonjunie. It's cute." Soobin cutely giggled. "Okay, bye." Soobib waved his left hand when he finally turned his back to Yeonjun. While this man called Yeonjunie right here still can't move. That was a sudden incident.

As Soobin was already far from the other until he couldn't see him that much, Yeonjun was just standing still on the same spot where Soobin saw him. He then started walking slowly, still trying to regain the reality before Soobib came. "Yeonjunie? What the hell is cute in that name? It's disgusting."

Yeonjun walked back home, now without any distractions. Unlike when he left home, he looked like he had less energy now. His airpods was still on his ears, the music is still playing, yet there was no energy coming from him. He was not humming anymore, nor just snapping his fingers to the rhythm. What's with the sudden silence of Yeonjun?

Upon arriving home, he immediately walked to his living room and sat on his couch. He was still holding the bread that he bought, but he wasn't even eating. He opened the television, but he wasn't even paying attention to any of the shows playing. He does not look problematic, but his eyes showed a stress and thinking Yeonjun. His eyes was just staring on the floor. Just on the floor. What the heck was happening?

"Ouch!" Yeonjun screamed after he pinched his right hand with his left one. Another scream was heard from him when he slapped his left cheek. All of these was happening to Yeonjun without any deep reason. Even Yeonjun was getting confused with his actions after seeing Soobin.

"Stop thinking and eat, Choi Yeonjun!" he shouted at himself in front of the mirror. With that, he went back to his couch and sat there. He opened the pack of the bread and pulled a huge part of it. He shoved into his mouth, carelessly. Why? He couldn't understand what was happening. He doesn't even know why he was being like this for some stupid reason.

"Why do I feel like this?" yeonjun unexpectedly asked himself as he finished his bread. When did he start eating so fast? Usually, he's the slowest eater. "This is weird— no. This is just pure bullshit."

"Why am i being like this over some stupid question that came over my stupid mind? This is so crazy," Yeonjun sighed.
