"Ah, it's raining.." Eri said and Xion nodded. They were outside the hall after taking Eri's belongings.

"Let's just go" he held her hand.

She blushed at the contact and gripped it firmly. He gave her a quick smile before unbuttoning his blazer. Xion put his blazer on top of Eri's head.

"Xion?" she questioned, she has her own blazer so why would he gave her his.

Before she know it, Xion dragged her out and both of them started to run under the rain. Eri held the blazer on her head tightly. They were giggling while running, both of them didn't want this beautiful moment to end.

They arrived infront of Eri's house, before both of them could bid goodbye. Eri looked at Xion, he was more soaked than her. She felt bad but what caught her off guard was Xion himself.

His wet hair and his drenched uniform, making Eri can see through his top. Eri grew hotter and tried to hide her embarrassed face, she then thought about something.

"Eri, what's wrong?" Xion asked in concern.

"Your house is far away, stay here while you wait for the rain to calm down" she pulled him to her house. "You're gonna get sick if you continue."

Xion wanted to decline the offer but she was having none of it. Eri opened the door at the right moment when her mother came from the kitchen. When her mother noticed then at the entrance, she quickly rushed to them.

"Oh my, Eri! You should have just called me to pick you up! And.. Hello, you must be?" her worried expression changed in a split when she saw Xion standing beside her, sending him a warm smile.

Xion bashfully nodded "hello Mrs. Seung. My name is Son Dongju"

"Hello, Dongju. Stay right where you are, let me grab the towels" She quickly went upstairs.

Eri looked at Xion and the awkward silence filled between them. Thankfully, her mom came back with two towels.

"Thank you, Mrs. Seung" Dongju bowed a bit and grabbed the towel from her, drying his hair.

"Your welcome, Dongju" she smiled back and grabbed Donju's blazer from Eri's head, she replaced it with the other towel. "Eri, show him the guest room. You two need to take a bath."

"Alright" Eri grabbed Xion's hand and brought him upstairs. "This is the guest room, I will get some clothes for you" she said and opened the door to the room.

"Thanks" Xion replied with a red face and entered the room, closing the door behind him.

Eri immediately went to her parent's bedroom and opened their wardrobe. She grabbed her dad's old hoodie and sweatpants.

She entered the guest room and heard the shower was on. Her mind suddenly thought the picture of Xion being topless. She accidentally gasped loudly and wanted to punish her mind for thinking such things. She left the outfit on the bed and exited the room in a rushing manner.

She returned to her own bedroom and freshen herself up. While showering, she softly knocked her head against the wall. Her way of punishing her mind.

After taking a bath and getting dressed, she went to the guest room and knocked the door. "Come in." she heard from the other side.

"Xion, I think my mom finished preparing for dinner. Let's go" She entered the room and saw the clothes perfectly fits Xion.

Xion stood up and nodded.

The went downstairs together and saw that food was already served for them. Eri's mother sat at the table with a smile, waiting for them.

"Thank you for your kind hospitality, Mrs. Seung" Xion bowed.

"It's okay, Dongju. Please sit down, eat all you want." Mrs. Seung giggled.

Both Eri and Xion sat at the table and it was one awkward dinner. "So, where did you two meet?" Mrs. Seung started.

"At the drama club" Eri replied.

"Say, Dongju.. How do you feel for my daughter? Is she okay?"

Xion choked on his food while Eri stood up, embarrassed by the question. "Mom!" she whined.

"What I meant for Dongju was 'is she doing well in the club', honey." Mrs. Seung laughed, thinking how funny it was that both of them took the question the wrong way. Suddenly, they heard a low "I'm back" from the living room.

"Your father is back, Eri. I'm going to greet him" Her mother stood up and left them alone.

"Sorry for my mom's question" Eri apologised as she scratched her nape.

Xion shook his head and laughed "It's fine."

They were both done eating and went to do the dishes together. Xion splashed a bit of water on Eri, she yelped.

She also splashed a bit of water to Xion and soon, both of them started to have a water fight. Luckily, it didn't last long or both of their clothes will be wet again. But the reason they stopped was because they heard someone cleared their throat, they looked behind and saw Eri's father.

"Dad!" Eri puts away the plates and went to hug her father.

Her father returned the hug and let go of it. He looked at Xion, standing near the sink and Xion caught his sharp eyes. Xion felt like he wanted to sink to the core of the earth.

"Who is this, sweetie?" Her father asked.

Xion quickly bowed and answered "Son Dongju, sir."

Her father came closer to Xion and put his hand on his shoulder, Xion flinched at the sudden contact. "Calm down, I'm not going to bite you.. Also, you look good in my clothes. It reminds me of my younger self," Mr. Seung laughed and left the kitchen, leaving Xion dumbfounded.

Eri went to Xion and chuckled, "I know he looks scary but he's the nicest."

Xion nodded at her statement, "I can see that."

Eri looked at the window outside and saw the rain had calmed down. "Well, I need to go now. I don't want my family to be worried" he said.

Eri nodded.

...

They were outside of her house, Xion already got his stuff and was ready to head back. "Thanks for everything, Eri" Xion smiled.

"Yea, thanks to you too or I will maybe stuck in the room for the rest of the day" She replied and both of them were caught in each other's eyes.

It was a comforting silence and they didn't realised how close their faces were with each other, their lips only few inches away. Their heart were beating fast and felt like it wanted to escape their body.

But then, Xion gently grabbed Eri's chin and lifted her head up a little.

He kissed her forehead.

Both were taken back by the action and were a blushing mess. "I- I.." Xion stuttered, not knowing what to say next.

Eri was speechless, the only one that kissed her on the forehead were her parents. She felt weird but in a good way when Xion did that. They wanted to say a few special words before departing.

"I like you!" they expressed in unison.

But it was a shame as neither of them could listen to what the other heart said.
