Before Wonwoo went to his work place he checked the weather reports. A high percent showing that it would pour.

He liked the rain, but he hated traffic when it was raining. It was scary and took forever to get back home in the sea of cars that were also scared of crashing.

He had a half day at work today so he would leave in a little bit after he finished the paperwork.

His watch read 12:30, he was allowed to leave at 12:00 but felt bad for not finishing his papers so he stayed a little longer.

He wished he had left earlier because once he got on the road the rain was pouring down in large amounts.

He made it to his apartment 15 minutes later and while opening the door he heard footsteps  that surely weren't his. Seconds later a drawer opening.

Wonwoo was sure there was a robber in his kitchen. He sneaked into the next room quietly to see who was the one going through his drawers.

Peaking his head around the corner with his back against the wall, he saw a familiar dark headed boy looking for something.

Mingyu's wallet!  He thought to himself.

Wonwoo had completely forgot about leaving Mingyu's wallet and his promise to pick it up at his apartment the next day.

For an organized person Wonwoo surprised himself when he realized he forgot about that.

"Mingyu?" Wonwoo said with a calm voice.

A scream was heard through the apartment.

"Wonwoo what the fuck!"

Mingyu was bent down holding his chest as if he was dying from a heart attack.

"Sorry Gyu, did I scare you?" Wonwoo immediately regret saying that after Mingyu's nickname slipped off his tongue.

Wonwoo could feel his face burning when he said that and it felt like an eternity for Mingyu to respond.

Finally he said, "It's okay, Wonu. I'm fine"

They both looked at each other for a second before laughing in amusement.

"I can't believe we gave each other those childish nicknames." Mingyu said between laughs.

"I can't believe we thought they were even cute." Wonwoo said while chuckling with him.

"I know right! But the one I gave you is cuter, Gyu is just half of my name. Painfully uncreative.", Mingyu said making a disgusted face at the unoriginal name.

Wonwoo fought back saying, "Yours is uglier! Wonu is just my name without the other W!"

They both laughed together in unison, reminding themselves of the pointless fights they had when they were younger, just like this one.

"I should go, thanks for keeping my wallet safe. If there's anything missing in here, you're treating me to a fancy dinner! "

Wonwoo laughed at his remark but secretly wished he took something from the wallet only so they could hang out a little longer while going to dinner together.

"Be safe Mingyu! The weather is crazy."

Mingyu smiled and they looked into each other's eyes.

"Bye Won-"

Before he could finish his sentence tornado sirens were heard outside.

Wonwoo walked to the TV and turned on the news to see what was happening.

"Stay inside, be safe, at this time do not go outside or drive any cars. Find shelter, a tornado could be coming your way."

As the news woman proceeded to talk Wonwoo looked at Mingyu standing by the door, made a crooked smile, and said, "Sleepover?"
