Now they both are in Ji-ah's house. In her head the scene ran in a continuous loop.
Did we kiss? Oh No! I'm so embarrassed right now. We just met a day ago that doesn't mean I should kiss him. Alright alright! He's my crush. What he will think about me? how can I face him now? She's probably fighting with her thoughts.

"May I cook something for you? You must be hungry. Right?" He speaks

"Ji-ah, you here?"

she blinked a few times and thought to herself blankly. He clicked his fingers snapping her out of her daydream.

"Are you alright?" he asked

"Yes, I'm. yeah " she smiled nervously

"Can I make something for you? Aren't you hungry? You're planning to keep me starving here? I'm very hungry" he said as he stepped into the kitchen

"Okay. Let me help you—

"it's okay! Don't get hurt yourself now. I can manage" he cut off

"CANT YOU SPEAK NICLEY TO ME? ASSHOLE" she mumbled

"I can hear you miss Ji-ah" he giggled

Time skip...

The thunderstorm started and broke the silence of the night. they are on the rooftop of the house. It was quite big area. Slowly the dark clouds covered the sky and the stars disappeared. Ji-ah closed her eyes standing still on the rooftop. And tried to absorb the sweet smells of fresh wet soil mixed with the earthy, wafting strom scent. She wrapped her arms around her waist, feeling the cool air, the wind, and the fresh scents.

"Don't you think you need someone to hold you?" He said with a flirty tone

"So, will you?" she said opening her eyes. As she inhaled deeply, they heard another crash of thunder, and felt a big, fat raindrop hit on her cheek, and flow down her face to the neck. It was followed by one more raindrop and then yet another. She felt two arms hug her tightly from behind. And who? it's him.

"I'm afraid to lose you and you're not even mine."

"Close your eyes. Ji-ah" he slowly whispered in her ears. She closed her eyes. Every nerve ending of her body tickled in anticipation. He was so close to her, so close that the perfume from his hair was tantalizing. She feels the warmth as the pair of hands enfold her like a favourite blanket. It's like a pair of wings that just surround her magically expected or unexpectedly.

she then gently held his hand. She felt like, she was totally on a different planet. His breath tickled down through her neck and ran down her spine.

"Do you like rain?" he asked holding his breath

She answers in hmm

"when she smiles now and then. That makes me happy.

"Do you know something... in my sad life story, you're a beautiful thing to comfort me."

"In-Yeop ahh, its ranining. Let's go"

"do you like rain more than me? he asked

"I didn't mean that... it's a pretty romantic season to spend with you" she smiled

"Okay, come let's go then" he smirked

End of flashback

The swishing sound of the wind as it swept past her, whispering to the vicinage. The rhythmic pat-pat of the falling water as it hit the concrete road was soporific. In-Yeop wrapped his arms around her waist, she felt a strong grip hold her back. A gasp passed through her lips, as they curved into a tremulous smile. As the rain increased in its intensity, the sizzling symphony of billions of drops felt like the rain was cackling with joy as it greeted her.

His lips touched her cheeks gently and affectionately. Her mind immediately crowds with a million thoughts, but she pushes them away for the moment, desiring nothing more than to enjoy this moment. Almost immediately, she recoils shyly and blushes uncontrollably.

Lightning spiked through the darkened sky and was followed by a clap of thunder. The clouds looked menacing in their glory, threatening to empty themselves at the slightest invitation.

The drops of rain hung on her lashes and then ran down at her cheeks, kissing her lips. she wanted to open her eyes and look at the view, but she was spellbound and was afraid that just like a beautiful dream, it would all be over if she opened her eyes.

His fingers danced all over her hands like the rain. He moves quickly to her, brushing away her hair. He leans in and gently guides her head toward his. She began to gaze at those malochaholy eyes. He held her head with both his hands and kissed her forehead gently yet romantically.

His eyes exude love, protection, security, safety, patience, and respect. She felt safe with him. She smiles and he lets go of his hands, with one hand he runs his fingers through her hair and gently guides her face closer to his, eventually leaning me in to rest her head on his chest. His other arm wraps around me, she hopes he never let's go. She could hear his heartbeat it was way loud.

He slowly faced her. His eyes were begging to stay a little longer.

"I need to go Ji-ah"

"But-

He kept his finger on her lips

"Shhh..I'll be back"

He takes a pause

"I love you"

"But promise one thing you will take care of yourself. Now close your eyes I want to kiss you."

She nodded saying yes. His lips pressed against her.

I don't know am I doing right or wrong. I just want to love her. And protect her. And if I keep running away from you that I loved once, and will love you in your next life too, what is the point of living such a life?
Even if I go back in time, I'll make the same decision, meeting you and falling in love with you and that's kinda we did

The rain pouring. He disappeared like thin air. She opened her eyes

"Umm? Where did he go? His house?" She was confused.
