Jimin finds himself watching out the windows yet again while in class. It's been raining ever since Saturday when they took the spaghetti to Jungkook's house.
It's Thursday now.
And Jimin's been enjoying it all. Class is much more relaxing, especially trig, with the rain constantly falling from the sky or dropping off the gutters. The students always got more quiet- more peaceful in Jimin's mind- when it rained. Its because it causes them all to feel sleepier and frankly most of them are tired of the rain. Especially the soccer team who just want to practice but can't use the gym due to basketball "practice".
Sometimes Jungkook would drag Jimin or Taehyung to practices so that he could sketch the players in motion.
Jimin always agreed to go since he doesn't have much else to do and he understands. He isn't the greatest at art but he gets why Jungkook just wants the practice.
He picks at his pencil as his gaze remains on the rain pouring down from the clouds, the class is the quietest it ever gets as raindrops begin to hum along the roof of the building.
"Damn is that the rain" a male student mumbles not many seats away from Jimin.
"Ew yes" some girl shakes her head "it's been raining like that since Saturday".
"Kinda lowkey fed up with it honestly" another student mutters. Typically the homeroom teacher, Mrs Kim, would tell the students to quit 'chattering' and focus on last nights homework instead. Yet this time she remains quiet and most likely drained from the rain aswell.
The bell rings causing Jimin to stand and gather his books before exiting the class to head to his second period which he knows will be spent just like his first, daydreaming.

Jimin finds himself almost tripping as he walks into his third period, again. He glances back to Yoongi with sharp eyes the older just ignores as he follows the younger to his seat.
"Today is boring" Yoongi mutters as he pulls out the chair next to Jimin. "It's been raining for almost a week straight now, I'm surprised there hasn't been a flash flood warning or this place hasn't turned into the amazon yet".
Jimin giggles "usually when summer rolls around the rain calms down anyways". He finds himself drawing his legs up to his chest in his seat, it's not most normal way to sit but Yoongi finds himself grinning at it.
"Don't you get tired of the rain?"
Jimin shakes his head.
"Never".
And Yoongi begins to wish he had skipped this period when the teacher rolls in, large book in hand. Today is definitely going to be boring.
*****
Jungkook is very quiet during lunch, has been the past couple of days. Jimin loses his appetite at the realization that he may never see Jungkook again after this.
He sighs as he stands up.
"Lunch is only halfway over where are you going" Taehyung cocks an eyebrow.
"To the roof" Jimin answers honestly before dumping his tray and sprinting to the roof, he knew Yoongi would be there.
And sure enough even with rain puddling at his feet Yoongi stands by the railing, get soaked as he looks down at the school.
"Yoongi!" Jimin yells "you're getting soaked what are you doing?!"
Yoongi turns to Jimin who is standing in the protection of the doorway. His eyes linger on the younger, and for whatever reason are full of sadness. And Jimin blinks at the sight confused before he shoves the rock into the door way and stumbles out to grab Yoongi's wrist and drag him to the protection of doorway also. Jimin's back presses up against the door as Yoongi stands beside him along the cold brick.
"What are you doing idiot" Jimin rolls his eyes "you're going to get sick for heckin sake".
"...."
He watches in confusion as Yoongi's lower lip trembles. "Jimin- why do you love the rain so much?"
Jimin really wasn't expecting the question but he also wasn't expecting to see Yoongi standing in the middle of the rain.
With eyebrows knit together Jimin slowly answers "it reminds me of how big the atmosphere is".
Yoongi blinks at the rain with his eyebrows knit together even more "no, there's more reasoning to it than that".
Jimin bites his lower lip in shock. Partially because Yoongi doesn't believe him and particularly because
he's right.
Jimin's eyes follow his gaze to the fog the overlays the hills and rain the drips around them.
"What's- what's the real reason Jimin" Yoongi's eyes meet his.
And for whatever stupid reason, Jimin feeling now utterly naive mumbles his story and truth anyways. "My parents died in 1999 in a car crash, hit another vehicle head on".
And Yoongi's eyes widen as he looks over to Jimin who isn't even paying attention anymore. Tears prickle at the edges of his eyes. "Mother always sat on the veranda with Grandmother. Sometimes she's take me outside with her, and we'd just sit and listen to the thunder roll and lightening light up the sky. She'd tell me about how big the world is and suggest I ask my father sometime" and Jimin feels himself cry and he mutters the last part "I never got the chance".
Yoongi wraps his arms around the younger's waist and pulls him into his chest. Jimin quickly hides his face into Yoongi's neck as he sobs.
He's never told anyone that before- not even Taehyung.
His three other friends remain clueless as to why he loves the rain so much. He's told them all it was because how large the world is, how it reminds him of that and for whatever stupid and foolish reason they believed it.
But- but Yoongi didn't. He saw through Jimin and for whatever reason he felt he could trust him.
1 month had gone by so quick though, he's known Yoongi for a month.
A whole month and he told him everything.
"I feel so fucking stupid" he mutters into Yoongi's chest. Jimin hardly ever cusses so the cussing catches Yoongi off guard. Jimin shudders at his now drenched right shoulder and dampen clothes.
"Why pretty boy" he mutters a whisper into Jimin's hair. Jimin just blinks his remaining tears back.
"I haven't told that to anyone before" he closes his eyes and fully leans into Yoongi. Yoongi's eyes grow as he realizes how much Jimin must trust him and he feels his heart crumble.
"Jimin I-"
"It's fine" Jimin backs away from the older assuming he knew what he would say 'I'm sorry' , "don't worry about it".
But Yoongi bites his tongue thankful Jimin stopped him from what he wanted to say, what he wants to say.
"Okay."
