Ten minutes passed since Sungchan left and Iseul was about lose her mind. She didn't want to be dramatic, but she just wanted to leave the playground already.

"I wonder if Yuta is okay."

"He's perfectly fine. Right, self?"

Iseul's eyes shot open as her head immediately turned to meet the voice. Yuta crawled in under the low space with her and left the umbrella in the rain. He tried to shake the droplets out of his now dark and short hair.

"Look how long your hair is now. You should have tied it." He scolded. His warm hands brushed against the sensitive skin of her neck as he leaned over to tie her hair. "You suit brown hair."

"But I thought you fractured your..." Iseul trailed off. "How did you even get here? When did you?"

"It's not just him." Sicheng added, voice muffled by the rain. He shared an umbrella with Sungchan who had a cheeky smile on his face. "Work can live without me for a while."

Daeun was crouching down to her right with Doyoung right beside her. His shoulder was helplessly wet as he tried his best to shield Daeun with the umbrella. "You should have seen Sungchan slip on his way to call us over."

"Shut up." Sungchan snapped.

"Make me." Daeun huffed.

"That's my job." Doyoung joined in. "And it was actually funny."

"To answer your question, we all planned it. Well, Sungchan and Shotaro started it. We wanted to celebrate your achievement together, so Sicheng and I made some time to fly over."

"Let me pinch you."

The simple statement stunned the four others with them. They didn't expect Iseul to choose violence today.

"Did I worry you? It was Doyoung's idea." Yuta cupped her cheeks, and locked eyes with her. "I'll make it up to you. I'm sorry if it worried you a lot. I won't do it again if it really make you feel horrible."

Iseul nodded. "At least let me tickle you."

"That's my cue to run." Yuta rushed out into the rain, leaving his umbrella behind.

"I see where this is going." Sicheng sighed, pulling his hood up.

Iseul tried to push the umbrella to him, but failed miserably due to the wind. "Use your umbrella!"

"Nothing wrong with getting a little wet, right? We're at a playground anyway. We should have fun." Yuta beamed. He ran around the playground, Sungchan and Daeun joining him after a moment.

"Be careful, Hon!" Doyoung reminded as he hurried over.

"Let's play tag!" Sicheng suggested.

Yuta kept his promise of coming to a playground with everyone and making new memories. It may sound odd, but playing in the rain as adults and catching colds the next day would replace the cold lonely night at a playground.

For once, she liked the rain. Great memories, and no one could tell the difference between the rain and her tears of joy.

Iseul yawned as she fought to stay awake. Her 10 minute power nap turned into three hours, making her miss lunch. She carefully maneuvered her way around Sicheng who was napping beside her. He must have taken Sungchan's spot when the latter woke up.

"Did they really have to crash the place Sungchan rented?" Iseul wondered. She trudged into the living room, the sight of Yuta on TV catching her sleepy eyes.
