Crazy [wenrene]

 It was raining, pouring actually. It was also 3am but it's not like Joohyun had ever cared about those kinds of details. She had an umbrella and her house was near, so the girl didn't worry. Why was Joohyun out so late at night? Even she didn't really know. She had just felt a sudden need to take a walk and reflect on whatever thoughts were on her mind, so she did just that.

 The girl had been walking for a while already and as she rounded a corner, Joohyun was met with an unexpected sight. A girl skipped around the street, completely drenched as she didn't have an umbrella, while flailing her arms around. It was as if she was attempting to mimic some sort of dance and was failing terribly at it. The expression on her face was... strange, to say the least. She had her eyes closed and was smiling, but Joohyun felt as if some sort of pain lingered there.

 The girl was either out of her mind or filming something. At least, those were the answers Joohyun could come up with to her questions.

 "Hey," Joohyun called out and watched as the girl stopped and slowly turned to her. "Are you crazy or something?"

 The girl seemed taken aback, she was probably not expecting to be asked that from a stranger, much less at 3am, outside, while rain poured.

 "Heh... crazy?" the girl whispered, a small smile on her face. "I don't think so. Not yet, at least."

 "Yet, huh?"

 The girl didn't say anything, her only reaction was of a chuckle escaping her lips.

 "Then why is a, supposedly not crazy, girl running around the streets in the middle of the night, while it rains?" Joohyun questioned, eyeing the girl curiously. "Filming something? Or are you simply trying to attract attention?"

 "Another question is why you're talking so casually to a stranger, asking some maybe personal questions," the girl retorted.

 "You got me there. I don't know the reason to that either," Joohyun answered, leaning against the wall of a building. "But I still wonder."

 The girl kept quiet, only to turn around and start walking away. Joohyun was about to protest, but she then noticed the girl had simply walked to lean against the wall of the building in front of the one Joohyun leaned against. The street was quite narrow, so they weren't too far away, and could still hear each other fine.

 "Seungwan," the girl said, eyes looking down. "That's my name."

 "I didn't ask your name."

 "Well, you should've! Do you expect to get answers from someone you don't even know the name of?"

 "It depends on the situation," Joohyun replied, shrugging. "If I'm asking for directions, then yes."

 "That's... not the kind of questions I meant..." Seungwan said and sighed, ruffling her own hair. "You're kind of rude, aren't you?"

 "Not really."

 "Well, it sure seems like it!"

 "Hey, it's 3am, give me a break. Who the heck is nice when they're sleepy?"

 "A sleepy person shouldn't be out so late, anyway..." Seungwan whispered.

 What followed that was silence. Complete and utter silence. It was quite awkward too, they were strangers yet they were speaking so casually, after all. Joohyun observed the rain and Seungwan kicked small rocks, both pondering over what to do next.

 "I'm Joohyun." Joohyun turned to look directly at Seungwan's eyes.

 "Cool," Seungwan said and went back to kicking rocks, allowing the awkward atmosphere to continue on.
