The rain just seemed to keep falling. It was that time of year, the time where the rain knew not what the words 'enough', 'stop' or 'I want the sun' meant. Even the plants seemed fed up with the constant rainfall, the soil that surrounded them quickly sucked up the water and turned it into a dirty coloured mud.

If the plants had complaints with the rain, the humans even more so. All they wanted were clear skies and sunny days, but the heavy drops of liquid falling from the sky seemed to want otherwise. The rain poured and poured, no signs of stopping and not a single ray of sunshine peaked at the earth beneath it.

"Damn rain." Jimin shivered, his fingers frozen from the cold drops of liquid falling from the stormy clouds above his head. Jimin, being one of the unfortunate homeless citizens of South Korea, wasn't too happy with the weather right then and there, and since it had been a recent turn of events that had led him to commit such a bold move, he wasn't used to the conditions of being without a roof over his head. He missed the comfort of his father's palace, a home without worry, a house with many rooms and warm atmospheres. But due to some annoying ulterations, he had been forced out of his father's homely compound. And now he was alone, it seemed, no one to turn to for help, no one to depend on, he'd grown accustomed to his father's mansion, it occured to him how much he took advantage of heat and dry clothes. He was cold, frozen, willing to do anything for warmth. Still, the rain kept falling without care on the streets of Seoul. "Someone... please give me warmth."

"Hey.." a voice called. "I don't have a heater or anything, but I have an umbrella." The boy uttered. Ask and you will receive. "You can have it if you want." Jimin gawked at him, unsure of what to do. "Here, take it." The boy grabbed Jimin's hand and opened it up so he could clutch the knob of the umbrella.

"Th-thank you sir." Jimin stuttered politely.

"There, now you'll be nice and dry." The boy waved at him, goodbye so soon? "See you round." And he strolled away effortlessly, immersing himself in the pouring rain, as if the harsh drops of icy liquid didn't bother him like it did everyone else...
