Yuanfen : Destined To Be Together

Chapter 28

Jimin

I don't know what I did to find someone like her.

I know, if it was someone else than me, she would get angry, and even...I don't know, maybe block them too?

But for it's me...

I just feel like it, as far as I've come to know her.

How did she know that I was panicking inside?

Did I make that obvious too?

I sighed, lying back on my couch. Each of her words replaying in my head.

"Just for once, stop thinking what others might think about you."

"You're the person around whom I feel the safest."

"You're already perfect. You don't have to panic about even the smallest things you do."

"Why would you apologize to some random person just because they might not like what you did?"

I closed my eyes...feeling a strange tingle in my heart.

Is it ache?

Or is it warmth?

I don't know...

Will she really understand what I meant when I said she's not some random person?

My ears perked up as I heard the wind blowing outside. I smiled, getting up to open one of the windows.

Standing by it, I let the cool breeze hit my face, and take away all the worries I had kept inside.

"Thank you."

I whispered in the air, hoping the breeze will somehow pass my gratitude to her.

A shuddering breath left my lips. I chuckled to myself, shaking my head a little and wiping the corner of my eyes where a few teardrops were prickling.

Why do I get so emotional easily...

Perhaps she said the words that I was dying to hear.

My thoughts got interrupted when I felt a few water drops hit my face along the wind.

Clouds rumbling faint, far away, and the occasional lightning strokes...

It feels surreal...

How the whole environment changes when she speaks.

Does she even know how sweet her voice is?
Does she know how easily she can flair the storm within me? How she can fix all the wounds without even trying?

Oh no...

Should I feel this way?

Does she think about me too? Just like I think about her?

I smiled when the raindrops became frequent...just a little.

She loves rain.

I know.

I frowned slightly when I heard a faint music sound...probably a guitar...

I looked around in the darkness outside.

Who's playing the guitar? It's almost midnight...

My heart rate quickened slightly as I heard a female voice join the guitar...

Wow...

How many more things can she do?

I leaned on the railing, trying to look at her balcony even when I knew I can't.

The rain grew heavier, the water drops wetting my hair and face.

I blinked when a drop fell on my eyelashes. I leaned a little more.

A wide smile took over my lips when I saw the headstock of the guitar...

I stood straight again, smiling softly.

I looked at the front, at the rain pouring, making her voice sound even more delicate.

She's an angel...

My angel

I walked closer to the wall that's a bit closer to her balcony than where I was standing earlier.

There...

I can hear her better...

I didn't realize when I had leaned against the wall, resting my head on it while jamming as she sang.

No one will complaint to hear such a beautiful voice, singing in the rain...even if it's late.

Neither will I.

I closed my eyes, letting her voice bless my ears once again.

A sweet scent spread around...

That's it.

I know the universe approves us.

It's Jasmine...

The flower that blooms in the rain...

Can't be true...

It feels like a dream.

God, please, don't wake me up if it is indeed a dream.

I don't want her to leave me...

"This night is sparkling,
don't you let it go
I'm wonderstruck,
blushing all the way home
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew
This night is flawless,
don't you let it go
I'm wonderstruck,
dancing around all alone
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew
I was enchanted to meet you

Please don't be in love with someone else
Please don't have somebody waiting on you"

I opened my eyes when I heard a soft catch in her breath...

Did I hear it wrong?

She stopped abruptly...

No...I...I heard it wrong?

Is she crying?

I sighed heavily. This silence...it feels lonely.
Even if we're right next to each other.

I hate it when she doesn't smile...

My breath hitched when I heard a soft sob.

Just against the wall...

Why...why is she crying?

Is it because of me?

The other day...she cried saying I didn't take proper care of myself...

Today too?

Guilt rushed in my veins again...but this time, it was for I couldn't hold her...

I rested my forehead against the wall, my palm against it...trying to feel her warmth through the strong brick wall...

Please, don't cry...

I'm sorry...

The earlier rain that was filled with serenity, now felt as if it was the worst rain I had ever encountered.

She's still crying...

Is she missing her family?

What is it?

For a moment I considered going to her apartment...but then again, it would be stepping out of my boundaries...a little too soon.

Each time her silent sobs broke out as a soft one, it tore my heart apart.

I hated this moment...

Where I can do nothing but hear her crying. Where I'm left helpless.

I hate the rain.
