MAYBE THE RAIN KNEW

Five years post-breakup, Santi thought he was safe.
He had peace. Yakult. No more sudden poetry attacks.
Until Ash showed up in aisle three of 7-Eleven like it was nothing.

Same rain. Same silence. Same girl who ghosted him like a damn season finale.

Now the past is back - still wearing his old hoodie, still ordering chamomile tea, still the only person who ever made him feel like the world could pause.

This isn't a love story.
Not yet.

But maybe the rain knew what it was doing all along.
