The next day, Minsoo still waited for Yein in front of his class. Girls were talking about them, starting from what relationship they were having until how Yein could know Minsoo or asking for Minsoo's number. Yein could only smile awkwardly. He didn't really know about Minsoo and didn't have his phone number.

"I should use my own umbrella. I don't want you to get sick because you always get wet everytime we're sharing umbrella," Minsoo said, holding his own umbrella. Yein kept silent, looking at Minsoo.

"Holy..."

Minsoo tilted his head. "Why?" Yein's eyes widened.

"I forgot to bring my umbrella!" Yein covered his face using his hands, sobbing uncontrollably.

At the end of the day, Minsoo and Yein shared an umbrella again. Yein kept lowering his head, hiding his tears. "Sorry," he whined. "It's okay, really. It's not your fault," Minsoo said, calming the other. Yein looked at the taller, his eyes were glassy because of tears. "D-don't cry!" Minsoo said, his other hand trying to rub on Yein's cheeks to remove the tears on his cheeks. "It's okay, it's okay,"

Yein lowered his head again, feeling Minsoo's body on his. Minsoo was hugging him. It was warm and it reminded Yein about Minsoo's jacket in his bedroom.

Minsoo strokes Yein's back, probably trying to calm him down. "You can borrow my umbrella," Minsoo whispered, getting a nod from the shorter. "Let's go home?" Yein nodded, slowly feeling Minsoo's hand creeping on his, trying to intertwin his fingers with Yein's.

Yein was embarrassed, crying in front of his crush and holding hands together in the middle of the rain, sharing umbrella for days, it was too much. Yein could feel the coldness from the rain on his skin and shirt, but talking with Minsoo, spending their time together, clearly made Yein didn't feel anything. Only warmness from Minsoo's voice, touch, attention, and smile.

"Do you mind if we always share umbrella like this?" Minsoo asked. "No, I don't mind at all," Yein answered, unintentionally being louder than he expected.

Yein thought, probably it wasn't unacceptable if Minsoo slowly knew his feelings toward the taller. Maybe, just maybe, Minsoo would grow feelings toward Yein, too.
