it's raining again.
the sleeking drizzle that began only a few minutes ago made jeongguk want to get up from the comfort of his bed to walk in the relief of the rain, and that's exactly what he did. he sat up from his bed, stretching his arms and ruffling his own hair to nullify his sleepiness. he stared ahead at his closet for a few seconds, his nose sniffing while he leisurely stood up, gripping onto the bed sheets for support against his awakened drowsiness.
his feet found themselves walking over to his closet, pulling the doorknob open tiredly and looking around to find the white hoodie he always wore. he grabbed the blank clothing promptly, quickly realizing he needed a new one considering the current one he had had a hole in one of the sleeves, displeasing jeongguk's picky point of view.
nonetheless, he walked towards his door, putting on a pair of random sneakers and stepped outside hastily, pulling his hood over his head. almost immediately, he felt the raindrops that came from the clouds drop onto his hoodie, and he sighed, relishing in the familiar feeling and sound of the comforting splash of clear, falling liquids.
there was a clothing shop near his home that was always open 24/7 for some odd and unusual reason, but jeongguk didn't mind. honestly, he was grateful for the fact that it was open all the time, since he could walk in and buy whatever clothes he needed that way, especially at a time like this. his hoodie was falling apart from the calamity of a treacherous hole embedded into it, never to be fixed unless it was somehow sewed back together again. jeongguk wasn't planning on learning to sew anytime soon.
his feet carried themselves languidly down the chalky texture of the soon-to-be drenched sidewalk through light footsteps, his sneakers padding down on the ground, his lethargic movements obviously gone unnoticed by all except for the unwavering rain itself. it was soothing to pace so calmly like this, the rain his only wandering companion, just the way he preferred it to be. he reached his hand out from the buried ends of his warm pockets, sensing how the rain dropped onto his skin like careless meteorites with no idea nor clue of where its destination would lead it to be.
he blankly stared at his soaked hand for a few more seconds before his peripheral vision spotted the faint 'open' sign on the front of a transparent door, clearly seeing how clean the glass was and how spotless it seemed to be. he faintly wondered how much time it took to just wipe the dust particles off of the see-through material.
his hand moved towards the handle on the door, pushing it and introducing him to an abundance of clothes inside the well-lit store. he noticed the tiny bell placed above the door and how it rung throughout his ears as he nudged the door even more. he looked around aimlessly for a few seconds until a man appeared in front of him, smiling joyfully with his hair that was dyed a handsome gray.
"hello! thanks for visiting. my name's jimin, feel free to look around," the said man known as jimin waved at him politely and he watched as he went back to the counter and pulled out a book from underneath.
