He's in the Rain

chapter twelve

"soobin hyung's here!" huening kai exclaimed as he stood up to go outside and open the gates — yeonjun's gates. the other three stayed in the living room where they already are and just waited for soobin and huening kai to come inside the house.

everybody knows that it's unusual, surprising, and shocking. soobin is coming to yeonjun's house. that's choi yeonjun for goodness sake. how did the three youngsters convince their oldest to let soobin in here? no one knows, but he agreed. soobin couldn't believe it as well, of course.

the front door opened once again and there was kai, who was in front of choi soobin. he seemed... shy. wow, never seen soobin this shy. plus, it's not like he haven't been in here. although he just stayed outside before, it is still yeonjun's house.

"hey, guys!" soobin greeted as he stepped inside yeonjun's house. the other stood up, including yeonjun, to greet their new friend as well.

soobin sat down beside huening kai, who was beside taehyun and across yeonjun and beomgyu. it's... kind of awkward, to be honest. it's always awkward at first, but hopefully they'll get along.

"so..." beomgyu started. "what are we going to do?"

"i don't know. what do you want to do?" asked taehyun who was busy eating tangerines on one side. he looked at them all who was also looking at him back, not knowing how to spend this day well. this saturday was planned days ago, but here they are not knowing what to do for the day. all they know is that they're going to stay at yeonjun's house.

"i'm actually up for anything." for the first time this day, yeonjun spoke words. even when soobin wasn't here, he was just saying hi, hello, yes or no, and sentences that contained three short words. the four looked at him, including soobin. the three gave shocking looks, while soobin doesn't even know why the other three looks at the oldest like that. it's kind of strange in soobin's position.

no one dared to speak after yeonjun did. they just nodded and sat there, looking at the tv screen although it was pitch-black. huening kai stood up, got the remote, and started to open the television. still, no one was speaking. another unusual thing happened — it was again quiet.

the door bell rang when everyone else was quiet. beomgyu stood up to go outside to see whoever it was standing in front of their gates. "pizza!"

beomgyu then rushed outside after putting on his shoes and opened the gates to get the pizza from the delivery man. to his surprise, there were four boxes of pizza with two different flavors. he was about to go inside, but the delivery man called him. and so, he went back.

upon opening the front door and removing his shoes, his eyes were on his oldest hyung, glaring. the oldest just laughed. he knew by now. "i didn't know i was meant to pay for that pizza for getting it. pay me back, hyung." beomgyu said, emphasizing the word 'hyung' like it was meant for yeonjun to really hear the word.

"hell no. why would i?" yeonjun tried not to laugh very often but he just couldn't. one glance at beomgyu's face and there he goes containing his laugh that would last for minutes if he couldn't hold it back in anymore.

"anyway," yeonjun said. "that's our lunch. i got too lazy to cook. sorry not sorry." said he as the oldest stood up to get the pizza boxes from beomgyu who was still standing there, couldn't get over the fact he spent money for his friends again. knowing beomgyu, he wants him to be treated but doesn't want to spend money on others.

after a few minutes, although still not eating, the door bell was heard again. beomgyu stood up again and was about to open the door widely but closed it again once he realized what he was doing at that moment. "i won't pay for that."
