"W-what's your name again?" He said as he smiled awkwardly.
"Uh Jung Mirin..." I tried to smile back.
"Ah.. My name is Park Woojin by the way." He smiled again. I nodded in response like I would always do because I don't know what else to say and we went back to doing what we were doing.

Everyday after that he began to talk to me more. Everyday he said one more word to me. Before I could realize it, I was only thinking about him, and I felt happy for a while.

I was walking out of school one day when someone stopped me. I turned around knowing it was Woojin and looked at him.
He hesitated for a second, but he opened his mouth and said, "our last finals of the school year are coming up.. Do you want to study with me at the library near my house?" I thought for a second and quickly nodded. He smiled and led the way.

It was summer but it was still pretty cold. The sky was dull and looked like it could rain any second.

"Woojin-ah", I said breaking the comfortable silence. He turned to me. "I'm kind of hungry, do you want to get something to eat?" He nodded and we walked to the nearest convenience store.

As we were walking out, I felt a drop of water fall on my face. Seconds later, it was pouring.

"What do we do!" I said over the sound of the rain.
"Let's run!" Woojin yelled, "wait, one second!" He pulled out a jacket from his backpack and put it over us.
"Hold on to the other side!" I grabbed the other end of the jacket and he put his arm around me to pull me closer. I stopped breathing for a moment.

Thank god the library was really close by. We ran into the library panting. A lot of people turned around and looked at us and I instinctively hid behind woojin and his broad shoulders. I could see his smile from behind him, the way his ears moved back.

"We've been sitting here for so long, want to come over to my house and eat dinner?" Woojin said after about an hour of studying.
"Uh sure."

I packed my things quickly and watched Woojin put his things away in the most organized way possible.

We walked outside of the library to see that it was still raining. "C'mon let's run again." He suggested as he pulled out the jacket that he had folded a minute ago. I giggled and agreed.

We got to his house a couple minutes later. "I told you my house is near the library." I wasn't that wet but my shoes were soaking. I turned to look at Woojin to see that he was all wet from his hair to his shirt to his shoes. It took me a few seconds but I realized there's no way I barely got wet and he was soaking other than the fact that he held his jacket above me instead of himself.
