"are you joking? why is it raining?" sunoo complains, expressing his disbelief. he had been studying in the library all day and was ready to head home, but when he glanced outside, he saw the rain pouring down. as expected, he had forgotten to bring an umbrella, just like always.

letting out a sigh, he realized he couldn't stay in the library any longer. another hour of staring at his notes and he would be sick. after contemplating his options and pacing back and forth, he made up his mind to brave the rain and just run for dear life. thankfully, his clout chasing had at least paid off as the transparent, hard plastic bag he had purchased came in handy. at least his belongings would remain dry.

"okay sunoo, it's now or never" he encourages himself before stepping out of the rain and he began to run as fast as he could. not a minute into running and he realizes this was a bad idea, his dorm was too far and he was not athletic enough for all this running.

huh, i think of this as practice for our upcoming duties in the hospital. i'm sure we do lots of running there, this is like a mock trial. sunoo thinks to himself before he scoffs at himself, not even he could gaslight himself into thinking this was a smart decision.

as he gets distracted by his thoughts while trying to run as fast as he can, sunoo didn't notice the slippery wet puddle in front of him and he slips. like really badly.

"of course, this happens to me on a rainy day where i have no umbrella and my brain is fried from all that studying!" sunoo shouts, feeling the frustration that had pent up inside of him spilling out when his hot tears finally roll down his face. it was a long day and this was his last straw.

he sat there for a while, just welling in self-pity and crying like a baby under the pouring rain. he just accepted the fact that he couldn't get any more pathetic than this and that he was going to stay like that until the rain stops.

sunoo sniffles and looks down on his white uniform pants, who is now muddy due to the floor, and he begins sobbing again. the rain seemed to sympathize with him, because it started to pour down even harder which just made him even more sad than he already was.

suddenly, the rain ceased to hit him, and through his tear-stained vision, sunoo noticed a pair of black shoes in front of him. he looked up and saw sunghoon holding an umbrella, protecting sunoo from the rain, but not himself.

sunghoon crouched down, gently holding sunoo's cheek and trying to meet his eyes. "are you okay? what happened? why are you out here in the rain without an umbrella? you might catch a cold," he expressed concern. sunoo couldn't bring himself to look at sunghoon, feeling too embarrassed to let him see him in such a state.

"please don't look at me. i'm pathetic, crying like this in the rain," sunoo mumbled, but sunghoon pulled him into a hug. "don't say that. you're still adorable even when you're crying," he reassured, bringing a sense of relief to sunoo. sunoo leaned into sunghoon's embrace, cherishing the warmth he provided.

they remained there for a while, beneath the cold downpour, their heartbeats synchronizing with each raindrop. they didn't mind the circumstances; they had each other, and that was enough. eventually, sunghoon helped sunoo to his feet and walked him to his dorm. the journey home was silent but comforting, as they found solace in each other's company without needing words.

"hey, sunghoon, thank you so much for today. i wouldn't know what to do if it weren't for you," sunoo expressed gratefully, flashing a shy smile, his cheeks blushing a bright pink. sunghoon warmly smiled back, saying, "it's no problem, sunoo. you know i would do anything for you." sunoo's heart fluttered at those words, filling him with a mix of emotions.

"thank you, sunghoon. really, thank you. i'll make it up to you, i swear," sunoo promised, and sunghoon's grin widened. "you can make it up to me by coming to my game tomorrow. it's at 3 pm in the gymnasium. it would mean a lot if you could come and support me."
