Something in the Rain

Ocho

When Tae left Jin at his parents place after he signed the lease. He lay in bed extremely happy for his baby. He thought back to the day when Joonie first brought him over to their house.

It was magical and he still remembers everything about that day like it was yesterday. He was smiling at everyone and was very polite to their eomma, which she loved.

He remembers she made him blush when she told him, "You are a very handsome young man Seokjin. And so polite to your elders. I bet when you're older, you will have to carry a big stick around with you to beat your admirers away."

Everything about him made him fall deeper and deeper in love with him. And he still can't believe that he's actually his boyfriend now. He picked up the sketch book he had bought during their trip and looked at the sketch he drew of him.
He is magnificent and unreal.

He suddenly hears someone punching in the code to his front door, and he already knows it's Joon.

He puts his sketch pad aside and walks out to the kitchen where he know he's stealing his beer from.

When Joonie turns around he screams and falls against the fridge while holding the cans against his chest.

"Fuck Tae, you scared the shit out of me. What are you doing here?"

"You mean in my own apartment? Why wouldn't I be here?"

"Yeah, sorry. I just didn't expect you. I kinda figured you were seeing someone since you're hardly home anymore. So I thought I'd borrow some of your beer." He says with a chuckle.

"Um-hmm, well sorry to burst your bubble, but I am home."

"Good, that's good. So who's the new girl you've been seeing? Is she cute? What's she like?"

"Joon, what makes you think I'm even seeing anyone? I am just out enjoying my young life the way I'm supposed to. You should try it sometime.

You act like you're an ancient relic. You're still young and fairly handsome. Though I took most of the looks in the family."

"Yeah, yeah. Just like I took the brains. I don't feel like putting myself out there again. Plus, I have Rosé to think about now."

"I can watch her on the days you want to go out. Just, don't give up on finding love. It's really amazing."

"Wow, whoever you're seeing must me really special. She has you talking about love that way."

"Why do you assume it's a she?"

"Oh, sorry.. I didn't know."

"Does that change your opinion of me?"

"What? No way! I love you no matter who you date. So don't worry about that."

"Well, it's good to know."

He then came to hug him and said, "Thanks for the beer!" And ran away giggling.

Tae then went back to lay down and went to sleep. Hoping that he really will be Ok when he finds out who he has been seeing.

The next day during lunch, Jin brought them a lunch from home and they ate in Tae's office.

"So, have you let your family know that you're moving out?"

"I tried bringing it up but I just wasn't ready for whatever crap my mother will spill out. So I think I'll tell them later today after work. The sooner I move, the sooner I will have some peace."
