Let me just cry for a moment
As I lean on the rain
So you won't see our sad tears

"I was shocked when I was informed that he's dead! Vernon... do you think it's really the reason why it happened? According to his--- "

Before his friend named Seungkwan mentioned anything he didn't want to hear, he eventually ended the phone call from him. He sighed then he covered his face with his hands. He weakly walked towards his bedside table and he took the picture of her.

Sudden tears came as he stared at her beautiful face and he didn't notice the clenching of his teeth as another drop of tears followed. What have you done? It's too painful just so you know.

THE nightfall was about to come. Everybody was getting ready for homecoming. Sidewalks were filled with people from school and work. That's what the 18-year old Vernon Chwe was seeing by the window of the taxi he was in. He came from his hometown to visit his parents.

"We're here already." The taxi driver said, giving him a cue to pay and leave the taxi.

He kept the book that he was reading earlier inside his bag then he got money from his wallet to pay the driver. He adjusted his eyeglasses before he went out the taxi. He passed by the alleyway which was leading his way from his house. A sudden downpour came that he fished out the umbrella from his bag and immediately opened it. He should get to go home before the rain got harder.

He was about to get at the edge of the alley when he noticed a girl who was sitting against the wall. She was drenched due to the rain. He didn't know why but his feet were likely had the mind of its own that he found himself walking towards the girl. He was about to back off but too late as he got in front of her and the latter looked up to him. A smile formed on her lips then she stood and faced him. "Hi!" She greeted him.

"You should go home, miss. You might get sick." Vernon said, trying to cover the girl through his umbrella but the girl didn't let him do so.

"I love rain." She countered.

I'm talking to a crazy girl. Vernon was about to go and leave the girl when he felt her tugging the hem of his shirt. "Did I... annoy you?" The girl asked with a sadness in her eyes.
