Rain

Rain

> "Words Can't Express How Much I Hate And Love You" -Unknown

The rain hits the red Range Rover, the slight pitter patter of the small rain droplets fill the car, overpowering the small radio, a cord running from the AUX, over the console and to Minah's phone. The leather seats, embroidered with the letters KT. The stitching on the seats, a blood red, compliments the leather seats with a manly vibe. My heavy eyes slowly open when we hit a small bump in the road, my head hitting the window, a small thump echoes through the car. Minah Looks back at me through her rearview mirror, looking at me with a rather confused expression. I groan and look at her, my eyes half closed and my vision barely even focused.

" you...you okay there Harp?" Minah says, her eyebrows furrowed and giving me that "you are a fucking idiot" look. I nod and rub my head, I sit up, my neck straightens and sends a sharp pain through my neck and to my mid back. "Aish! That hurt.." I mumble, my lips forming a pouty face. A face I have mastered over the years. I grab my phone from the arm rest and check the time. 5:29 pm. "Damn Minah, how slow are you driving!? That took us 2 hours!?" I say looking at her in shock. I didn't think the air port was that far away. Actually, it was the closest air port to Myeong-Dong. Minah lives in an apartment above a cafe. Which she works at from Monday's to Thursday's and then walks dogs Friday through Sunday. So she basically works 24/7.

"Hey! I took the fast route! It would've taken us two hours AND 45 minutes so you're welcome!" She says, a sly smirk on her face. "Yeah OKAY it was ONLY 45 minutes." I say, rolling my eyes and unlocking my phone.

**one new message **

*Jibooty*: hey harp. When are you getting to Minah's place?

*me*: in about 25.

*jibooty*: got it. See ya soon 🙌

*me*: yeah. See ya🤗

I close my phone and smile. Me and Jimin have been friends since kinder. Me and him were inseparable. Two pea's in a pod. Besties for the resties. Or as we always said. Until I moved away In 2016. We gradually grew apart, stopped texting everyday, stopped FaceTiming every night at 3am. Even stopped talking all together, our lives got in the way he had a scholarship in mathematics and science, while I had some family issues, Until daddy told me that I am going back to Seoul, I was ecstatic. I've never been so happy. I called jimin instantly and told him I'm moving back home. He was shocked and just as excited as I was. January 26th is the day we are finally seeing each other for the first time in years. Today.

I set down my phone and look out if the window. Wow.. I haven't seen this beautiful of a view in ages. The tall skyscrapers tower over the smaller buildings and apartments, little shopping centers cover the landscape, the street lights give the whole city a unrealistic glow and feel. Like a fairy tale. Tall Mountains peek through behind the buildings. The car comes to a slow stop as the once green light turns to yellow, then red. "We are almost there harp, wanna stop and grab some boba?" Minah says, turning to look at me, her eyes begging me to say yes, Harper loves boba, she'll give up a one night stand for boba, which says a lot for her. I smile and nod my head yes. "Sure Minah. We can get boba." I say smiling at her childish behavior.

"Yay!! I've been holding off boba for weeks! Had to substitute boba with a LOT of sex" Minah says jokingly, giggling at her own joke, making me giggle in return. I turn my attention back to the landscape. We pull into a street full of tall buildings, cafés and shopping centers. Signs flashing different directions to different things, The light turns green and we start driving. Minah pulls up in front of a small café, the windows painted with a light pastel green and the sign flashing the words "BeansBin Myeongdong Café". The Cafè was small and charming. The window sill had fairy lights strung across it and around the ceiling. The outside was painted white, the paint chipping at the corners and around the door. The outside patio had a series of tables and chairs, the cushions a pretty pastel pink, the chairs also white. Decorative vines climbing up the legs of the table.
