" As first drops of rain brings a smile on a gloomy face , you bought happiness in my life ; but as heavy rains leaves everything destroyed, you wrecked me ......"

It wasn't the brightest day for the people of Seoul , there was a layer of sad cottony clouds draping over the bright blue sky . The entire Seoul was covered by a veil of mist like a plain white curtain , people walking in boots and raincoats, umbrella dangling in their hands making them look like aliens . And among these people, there was a little girl sitting near the window seat of her room , gazing up at the sky , silently wishing the sad clouds to pour out . She was waiting for the rain since the day before , hanging a gloomy white doll near her balcony door .
Finally, the first drop then second then third and eventually the clouds started pouring out , which filled the girls heart with an unknown happiness. I feel amused at that girl as I remember it was the 7 year old me . I quickly put on my bright blue raincoat, my favourite pair of black rain boots which don't fit me now and my transparent plastic umbrella which had pink prints of cherry blossom flowers and raced towards the Han river , grabbing my coloured papers and markers on the way .
Excitement filled my nerves as I felt raindrops on my umbrella. I sat in the nearby bench which was protected by the roof from the rain and started making paper boats . I wrote a message or a wish in every boat with my black marker . I began releasing them in the Han river . Streaks of joy filled my nerves as I watched my boats drifting away as I was sitting in the nearby bench .
" umm... Is this yours?" A boy around my age who was wearing a bright yellow raincoat approached me one of my paper boats in his hands .
" yes ... But since you found them . You can keep it ." I said smiling .
" so it means this message written on the boat is mine ." I nodded and his plump lips curved up to form a smile and his eyes curved down to form crescent moon shape .
" That means I am your friend now ." He said showing me the red paper boat with the message written as -
"Can you be my bestfriend ?"
I nodded and smiled .
" I am Park Jimin . Nice to meet you my new best friend." He said and I replied " Nice to meet you too my new best friend. I am Kim Sulyeon ."
Then as the boy linked his fingers into mine .... I felt I found my source of happiness, my rain .
" let's be friends forever ."
