rainy day~ WINTER X JENO

Minjeong POV

"Trrrrrnngggg". As soon as the bell alarmed in the corridors uni, I left my classroom to head home. As I reached the main gate, I bid my friends a bye and left. As I was strolling, I noticed that the ash grey clouds were covering the not-so-clear skies. The weather was cool and breezy. I took a step and I felt my left shoulder wet. As I turned my head, I felt various parts of my body being poked with small punches of liquid. As soon as I shot my head up towards the blocked sky, I was hit with a wave of droplets falling on my face.

I was rummaging through my bag trying to find my umbrella until I realized I forgot it in the classroom in a hurry. I had to get home soon as my mom was alone. I hated rains since I was seven. They always bring unwanted memories. I was already drenched in water, so why not continue until I reach home giving me another reason for not attending the uni tomorrow. As I was walking, I looked around to see leaves glistening due to the wetness. The droplets were slithering off the leaves, falling onto the ground, making a 'tip' sound creating riffles. The view was lively, but not anymore!

I got so caught up in the surroundings that I never bothered to look at in my 14 years of life living in this neighborhood, that I tripped over a rock. The oh-so-hard rock scraped my left knee in the process and sprained my ankle. I could see plum-red liquid forcing itself to come out of the 7 thick layers on my body through the cuts. The blood was dripping down my knee but was slowly washed away by the huge wave of the raindrops, but it doesn't stop oozing out of the flaps. I tried getting up from the cold wet road, until I fell back down, reminding myself of my sprained leg. I felt a stinging sensation in my leg as I was warning my tears from flowing down. I wish the convenience store from years ago was still here, so that at least one person could approach my body, lifelessly lying on the floor. The rain got heavier. My tears were barely able to differentiate between the rain and itself. I couldn't see anything but white surroundings. the rain was so heavy that I could barely see the trees.

Time went by, the uniform was just absorbing the water. The rain slowed down a couple of minutes after but didn't stop. I was probably drowning in my thoughts until I saw a figure coming my way. I could see a man holding an umbrella. I could make out a little bit even when my vision was blurry. As the figure came closer, I could see more properly. The tiny amount of hope I had left, started to increase.

The man was quite tall and had a muscular body. His black slick hair was put back with a few strands covering the left side of his forehead. As he neared, I could feel his charming aura. At one point, I felt like the surroundings were moving in slow motion. I was so lost in his deep-brown eyes, that I couldn't feel the rain bouncing on my skin. I came back to reality when I saw him kneel down and cover my tiny body with a huge purple umbrella with little stars on it.

I felt shivers running down my spine as soon as his skin came in contact with mine. His soft hand touched my forehead and my neck. His eyes widened he realized that I had a fever and probably cold due to the high temperature of my body. He slowly helped me to get up and help me sit on a bus stop a few meters away from the road I was injured on. The shade restricted the water from falling on my body. He returned with a plastic bag making a clink-cling noise as he made his way towards me. He quickly grasped the cleaning wipes and the antiseptic from the bag and started cleaning my wounds. All along, I just stared at his angelic face.

I was admiring his doe eyes, his plump lips, how his jawline complimented his facial features. I saw how his dark robs were fixed on my bloody knee. How much ever my wound sounds awful to look at, the pain hit me like a wave as soon as the antiseptic hit the dead skin on my knee. He ended nursing my wounds by sticking a Moomin bandaid on my knee. As soon as his head shot up, his eyes stared right into my soul. I noticed the mole hiding under his lips. How sweet! His features were so similar to my brother's. He also gave me a hot pack to keep my hands warm. He took off his jacket, even when I refused, and placed it on my shoulders. I noticed he was wearing a bracelet on his wrists with veins bulging out. It was 'that' bracelet which was owned by my brother before he got lost 7 years ago...

I had a flashback time about the memories of me and my brother. he shook my body and asked me for my address so he could drop me home. He probably noticed how weak I was and how pale my skin had turned after the unexpected shower. When we were waiting for the bus, I thought of starting a conversation as the rain sounds filled up the atmosphere. As soon as I parted my lips, my vision started getting blurry. I couldn't see the still figure of his. Everything was multiplying until I figured that I blacked out.

I woke up to see the ceiling, painted in pastel purple with little whales on it. It took me time to realize that I was in my bedroom. I sat up and saw myself changed into my fancy pjs; my mom got me on my last birthday. I could hear some whispers so I decided to tuck myself out of my sheets and made my way towards the living room downstairs. As I was taking light steps, I could hear their voices getting louder and louder. I could hear my mom saying that she missed him. When I could get a view of both of them, I saw both of them in tears. The boy who saved me was hugging my mother, and both of them were sobbing very loudly. I heard mom say, "I missed you son!"

I felt my world crash. I couldn't believe my ears. My vision blurred with something hot and moist and when I blinked, tears fell on my cheek. My lips parted drifting a loud yet shocked gasp out of my dry throat. Despite the heavy rain falling on the roof, the loud sounds of the water collapsing onto the ground, the surroundings were silent enough to grasp the hugging creatures' attention with my hoarse voice.

They looked at me with widened eyes. Jeno, my lost brother, softened his gaze as he looked at me. I was reminded of the day he got lost 7 years ago. The exact place where we met today, just 7 years ago. The same raindrops trickling on the convenience store nearby. This wouldn't have happened if I didn't ask my 10-year-old brother to get ice cream for his 7-year-old sister. Thus, I never liked rains.

I tried to bite back a sob from my pooling hot tears. "Sooyaa", the words I heard from my brother's puberty-stricken voice after seven years, felt like music to my ears. The nickname was too cringy while we were kids, but now I feel the urge to be called that again. I couldn't help but run over to him as soon as he flapped his hands open to pull me into his embrace.

His muscular body didn't make a difference to the hug I missed. All I could think was how I missed this hug and, how I wet his polo shirt right now. We stayed in that position for complete 6 minutes to be precise. His chin rested on my shoulder, leaving my face stuck in the crook of his neck. I thought this all was an illusion, but it all felt so darn real. The roughness of his skin, the dimple abs around his back, his broad shoulders; felt too real under my skin.

The room was filled with sobs, raindrops, thunder, and was eventually lacking oxygen. I clutched his shirt tighter as his fingers stroked my brown locks. My mom, no- our mom eventually joined us by giving us a big bear hug as any other mother would. I could finally feel my mom at ease after so many years.

We pulled away from each other and immediately flashed joyous, yet painful smiles at each other. No matter how happy we were finding the missing piece, we also couldn't forget the pain that got us loving and missing each other more!
