Rain was tasked to invite the villagers to the fun fair scheduled to take place on Saturday.The fun fair was been held to raise funds for the community hall that the school would like to build.Having the community hall will allow the children access to a comfort zone,to their very own personal hide out( safe place).A place for entertainment and fun.
Not much interaction occurs between this village and the outside world.Firstly,the villagers are content with the way of life here,it is quiet and peaceful.Secondly they did not have any interest in knowing the outside world because all that they loved and needed was right here.Any news from the outside world would come to the village by traders,pass-byers,and relatives who come and visit their family and then
leave.

Rain was panting by the time she arrived at the last house on her list,dear old Mr Park lived way up in the hills.As she arrived,she got off her bicycle and took a few deep breath to catch her breath.She ran her fingers through her long hair to neaten herself up.
She did not notice the man standing at the side of the house looking at her,she did not notice when he took a step back so as not to be seen by her.He watched her sectratly as she tied up her hair in a single stroke of twisting and spinning and watched as she turned her face up towards the sun as if she was wanting to feel the sunlight on her face and she smiled for awhile while facing the sun.What a beautiful sight she was he thought to himself.Who is she,he thought,he was sure he had not seen her at his last visit to his uncles house last year.

"Hello my dear girl" called Mr Park as he made his way outside to where Rain was standing.Rain quickly went forward to assist Mr Park to sit down on a bench just outside the front door."Hello Mr Park,how have you been doing" she inquired as she knew he had been sick for the passed couple of days"Aygooo,I am feeling much better now that you are here" he smiled.
"I have brought medication and some home made bread and some fruit" smiled Rain."You sure do spoil this old man,thank you for taking care of me" he said.
"Namjoon" called Mr Park "where has he gone off too?Namjoon he called again.
"I am here uncle" responded the man that came walking towards them.
Rain looked up at him,(the first sighting).My goodness, holy bananas,this man was tall and handsome.Why am I feeling so nervous all of a sudden thought Rain.
"Hi I am Nomjoon,please to meet you" said the man.Rain could only stare at him as her mouth could not open,neither could she find her voice.Where has her voice disappeared too,oh my, please gather yourself Rain she thought.
Finally,"Hi,I am Rain".They stared at each other for awhile,making it appear that only the two of them where visible to each other and no one else was around.
"Rain,this is my nephew from the city.He is here to visit me and to nag me hahaha.I hope you two can be friends" said Mr Park with a smile on his face like he knew something that they did not know.

"Can I have your number" asked Namjoon as Rain was about to leave.
"I do not own a mobile phone" said Rain.
"What!No freaking way,you don't own a phone? You must be kidding" exclaimed Namjoon shockingly.
Rain looked at him seriously with a small smile on her face.This was not the first time someone had been shocked by her not owning a mobile phone,so she was kind of use to it.
When Nomjoon noted she was not responding he let out a sarcastic laugh."I have seriously never met anyone that does not own a mobile phone" he said shaking his head.
"Rain is different to others my boy" said Mr Park as they both watched Rain make her way down the hill on her bicycle.

Rain could not help but recall the look on Namjoon's face,the surprised  and shocked look on his face.Why did he make her feel inadequate and inferior,she has never been ashamed of not owning a mobile phone before.She had her reasons and she did not feel the need to explain herself to him.She wondered why would he have that affect on
her.But,she reminded herself,he is from the city,such things are considered important in his world.But such things don't matter much in my world.

Home was my sanctuary,I lived near a small lake and I could hear the flowing water from my window.There can never be a more peaceful sound in this entire world she thought.Why would anyone want to disturb this peace with technology like a mobile phone..

The day of the fun fair dawned and the village was busting with excitement.Everyone had their individual tasks to do before fun was to be had.Leaving home while still dark and heading to the village town to set up.Villagers came out by the numbers,carrying,pulling,lugging equipment,materials,props and much more.There was laughter that could be heard from miles around,children screams and giggles were heard as they chasesd one another and played games.
Breakfast was made on an open fire,coffee was handed out.
"I believe we are on schedule" said Joowon,as he was selected as the  event planner.Rain knew Joowon took his task very seriously and she made sure she did her part well.
Rain handed Joowon his coffee and they settled down on the ground to enjoy the sun rise and a hot cup of coffee."I am so proud of you Joowon,you pulled it off,everything looks so beautiful" said Rain."Thank you for your support and hard work" said Joowon and he patted my head affectionately and they both smiled into each faces.
Namjoon watched the two from a distance and wondered if they were dating.There was a slight strange feeling in his heart when he saw that guy pat Rain's hair, he could not interpret what feeling that was,but he felt slightly irritated.
"Hi Rain" said Namjoon as he approached them.Rain looked up and smiled at him and at the same time she tried to tidy her hair as she suddenly felt self conscious.
"Oh hi,good to see you here,we  appreciate your support" said Rain awkwardly.
The two guys looked at each other, and turned to look at Rain."Oh my,sorry,Joowon this is Namjoon,he is Mr Park nephew from the city,and this is Joowon, he lives here".
"Please to meet you" said Joowan," I hope you will have fun today"."Let me know if you need help with anything".Namjoon asked a few questions about the event which Joowon readily provided answers.All three enjoyed breakfast together and it felt like the wall of awkwardness eased off and soon they were laughing and enjoying themselves.
Joowon has a very soft side to him,he is kind hearted,lovable and cute.He is without a doubt a truly magnificent person and I am fortunately the most closest person to him as we have been friends for over 17 years now.
Joowan got called away to assist elsewhere leaving me along with this man again.I started fidgeting again,pulling on my hair,dusting my dress as we got up from the ground.This man unnerves me,my mouth is dry again.
