Rain: Lock & Key

There were days when Jonghyun would walk home from the coffee shop in the rain.

Today wasn't one of those days.

He sat on a couch on the second floor looking over into the garden.

There was a greenhouse in the garden, it was mostly used to grow some of the herbs that were used for drinks among other things, but today he saw something new in there.

There was a boy, around his age, watering the plants inside.

The rain had turned to mist, and his view of the boy became much clearer.

He was surrounded by flowers, very beautiful ones, yet he was the most beautiful thing Jonghyun could see.

He was the son of the owners, the son that had been studying abroad in America the past three years.

That boy, smiling as he walked into the rain, was his best friend.

The friend he had missed so dearly.

The boy who had changed so much.

The person he had been in love with for the three years he was gone, probably even longer.
