"Where is Tae?" I hurriedly asked Hobi, who was watching the TV.

"He just left.. Why? What happened?!" He frightenend.

I didn't bother to answer him and I bug out.

Tae was nearby. "Tae!... Wait!" I shouted.

He surprisingly turned back. I rushed towards him. I was panting lightly, "Huh!"

"What happened Yoomi? Are you alright?" He asked anxiously.

"Take this with you. And don't drench yourself today!" I handed the umbrella.

He saw me blinking his eyes, with tangled face.

"What happened?" I gazed his face.

"Umm.. Nothing. Thank you." He mumbled.

"Ok then.. Bye. Take care." I waved.

He waved back.

I returned home with a smile on my face. But Hobi was glaring at me for answers. I gulped.

"Hobi.. That.. I went to give the umbrella..." I showed all my teeth.

"But today's weather is good by the way.. No more thunderstorms." Hobi smirked.

I surprisingly saw Hobi, dumbstruck.
"Does he know that I slept in Tae's room?" I thought.
[Again I was Jungshook.]

"What? Why are you staring at me like that?" Hobi grinned this time.

I gathered all my gut to ask him, "Wha- what's with those expression?"

Jin entered at the same time.

"Jin, look at our Coo Coo. Now she have grown a lot." Hobi spoke looking at Jin.

Jin didn't reply and puzzled.

"She isn't a girl who used cry and run behind her Mom when thunders." Hobi impishly saw me. "She isn't scared of thunders anymore!"

"What? She isn't scared? I can't believe." Jin laughed.

"You have to believe it, Jin. Because she was alone yesterday." Hobi cleared his throat. "Ahem ahem." The irony was clearly visible.

"Alone? I thought she was with you-" Jin lowered his voice connecting all the dots, he exclaimed looking at me. "Did you slee-" I cut his words.

"Will you guys just stop acting weird? What's the big deal in thunders? Do you think I'm still that meek kid? I don't need anybody's help! Okay?!" I uttered and tried to cover up things.

Oh, no, there you go, you're making me a liar, I kinda like it though
Oh, no, there I go, start-

I looked at the TV playing the situational song.
"Wow! Liar? I hate this coincident." I thought to myself, pouted angrily.
Hobi and Jin burst out laughing looking at my face.

I hid my face with embarrassment and rushed towards stairs.

"Hey brave girl.. Why are you rushing?" Hobi spoke in-between laughing.

"Shut up! Don't talk to me!" I turned and shouted. I didn't wait for his reply and went to my room.

Tae was intensely staring at the umbrella. His thoughts now started to explore his past.

"Tae.. Tae.. Why are you running like that? Please slow down!"
