“jinyoung I-” Daehwi choked on his tears, was he ready to forgive, jinyoung? Definitely but was forgetting what jinyoung did easy? No.

“I'm not s-sure. A-after all you've done, I- I don't k-know i-if-” daehwi wasn't finished talking when jinyoung cut him off

“I will do everything to take you back, d-daehwi. J-just let me try for last time.” daehwi's heart  clenched seeing jinyoung cry, he was a fool and he still is.

“o-one last time.” Daehwi declared, one last time. Please don't let me down.

“you didn't brought an umbrella again? W-want to share?” Jihoon slowly turned his head and almost broke down when he saw guanlin holding an umbrella.

“why would you help someone who broke your heart? Aren't you mad at me? What if I do something dumb and hurt you?” Jihoon queried with a serious look even though he was crying inside.

“helping someone who broke your heart is better than helping a stranger who tries to scare you by saying the possibilities of him, being a bad person. And no, I'm not mad. There's a disparity between pain and madness, and its just sharing an umbrella, why would you hurt me?” Jihoon was speechless, Guanlin remembered their first encounter but guanlin's words pierced through him. There's a disparity between pain and madness, and it's just sharing an umbrella why would hurt me?

“b-but-”

“choose, jihoon. Go home all soaked up and end up getting sick or share an umbrella with me.” oh how he missed how his name rolled out of guanlin's tongue.

“I- fine. I-Ill share with you.” Jihoon answered and together, shoulders touching each other, they went home.

“where's your boyfriend?” Jihoon flinched at how casual guanlin sounded when he said those words.

“I- I don't think we're still together.” Jihoon drawled and guanlin glanced at him with confused look.

“why?”

“we didn't see each other nor kept in contact e-ever since p-prom night.” Guanlin's mouth formed an 'o'

“why?”

“he probably realized he still loves daehwi.” Guanlin almost tripped when he heard that.

There was a pregnant silence between the both of them, only the sound of the rain could be heard.

'Why isn't he talking?' Jihoon thought but nonetheless remained silent.

Drip drip drop

“how about you? what did you realized?” Jihoon stopped walking and so did guanlin, they looked at each other's eyes.

“so?”

“I still love you, guanlin.”

“but words aren't enough to prove you do, are they?”
