" When the rain drops touch my face , it makes my mind fresh , when it tickles into my hair , it makes my heart soar into the sky releasing all my sadness."

The city of Seoul was draped with dew shinning in the moonlight like the pearls . There was no soul moving in the slightly wet , fresh cemented roads . The wet summer breeze blew past the thirteen year old me , tangling my locks and kissing my rosy cheeks from the cold . You promised me to take me to place filled with my favourite flowers , water lily . And I was there waiting for you under the giant willow tree next to playground , taking my transparent plastic umbrella which had some prints of blue ivory flowers which you had brought for me after you broke my cherry blossom one .
       " Sulyeon-ah ! You should wear more warm clothes even though it's summer . You are soaking wet . Did you not use your umbrella again ? Sometimes I seriously think I simply bought that for you ." You scolded me and gave me your warm jacket as you had worn a full shirt knowing I will go out in the rain again . I partly did that to annoy you , hear you scold me , it made me feel you cared about me . And partly the reason I did it because the touch of rain on my skin sends me to a sense of euphoria.
" Are you even listening to me ?" I gave you a sheepish smile , making my eyes turn into crescents . You shook your head and hand in hand we walked towards the pond . That pond holds so much memories of ours , I came to know about that pond that day and since that day till now it's my favourite place to stay other than your arms .
You marked the trees on our way to the pond to make our way out easier.
" Mochi-ah, I can't walk anymore ." I whined .
" yah ! We have only walked like few metres ." You said. I complained and walked when I suddenly tripped on a root of a tree making my pale blue summer dress a shade of brown .
You sighed and crept down to piggy back me .
" I should have expected this of you , clumsy girl after all you are the sister of God of destruction." You said and chuckled making vibrations of your laughter pass through my skin .
I smiled and said " Yah ! I am not clumsy and don't compare me and oppa . He is not like me. He breaks his door knob twice every day."
"Aaraseo Aaraseo , I won't compare but you should be more careful."
We finally reached a clearing , the pond was shinning ,a the moonlight illuminating it like a clear glass , bunch of water lilies blooming which had dew drops reflecting the moons silver light . It was a sight to see . I smiled as I got down from your  back .
" Aren't they beautiful? This the most beautiful sight I have seen ."  I said and you nodded .
" yes . They are as beautiful as you . As your name , you look like this illuminating lily . And I want to be this dew on them , protecting you , staying always by your side ." You took out your pinky finger and I took out mine
" I promise to always stay by your side ." That day I fell for you .
But today as I look back to this memory, I laugh at me face because it's the irony . I always tried to remain by your side but you pushed me away and now I am alone , all alone . Why did you promise me then ? I hate it that I  am suffering alone . I am deprived of the rain you brought .
