Neverland | Choi Yeonjun

Rain

"Yeonjun, wake up you sleepyhead!" I heard her voice reach out to me. It felt like I heard that voice after ages. My ears were desperate to hear my name coming out from her lips.

"Hey Choi Yeonjun! You idiot!" She spoke again. I opened my eyes to see the beautiful face that I had longed for. Her eyes shone like the starry night painting. Everything felt so unreal. I rubbed my eyes to check if I was hallucinating but there she was sitting, right next to me on my bed.

"I was gone for a week and you haven't been sleeping and eating well. What should I do with you?" She questioned as worry laced in her voice. Yes it had been a week since I last saw her, which was before our second anniversary.

I jerked up from my sleeping position to wrap my arms tightly around her and pulled her closer through her waist, scared that she would leave me again. "Where the hell did you disappear off to? Do you know how lonely I felt without you?" I spoke controlling my tears to not fall down.

She didn't reply but kept rubbing my back trying to comfort me in silence. It was a comfortable silence. I wished that time would stop at that instant so nothing would change.

"Oh?! It's raining outside!" She said in excitement pointing towards the window of my room. "But it's summer season, how is it raining out of the blue?" I wondered. "Does that matter right now? Come on let's go out and dance!" She said dragging me out of the bed.

The streets were empty with no signs of another person or any animal, probably because it was raining. However, it felt complete. It was just me and her, dancing in the rain, like kids.

She ran to the porch and played "Dandelions" on her phone on full volume, a song she listened to a lot when she developed a crush on me.

I went to the porch as well and kept my phone at such a position that it would record our goofy rain dance.

"I should go back, or we'll catch a cold. Also you have to go for work tomorrow." She said suddenly. "Do you really have to go now?" I pleaded not wanting to let her go. "It's time, Yeonjun." She replied and began to walk towards her home that was just a few blocks away. But before she could disappear from my sight, I ran inside my home and gave her an umbrella to prevent her from getting more drenched.
