💙

she's standing there, like an idiot, in the pouring rain that washed over her body. her clothes were completely soaked through and she was freezing, but it didn't compare to the hurt she felt when she caught her longtime boyfriend cheating on her just a few minutes earlier. it wasn't with any random girl either. it was with her best friend. the one person she thought she could trust with her life and in two seconds, that trust instantly shattered. she continued walking down the sidewalk, ignoring the chill that ran through her body as the rain grew relentless. she didn't know where she was going— just walking aimlessly to distract her from the ache of her heart.

"yare yare, i don't know if you're just stupid or suicidal." a voice deadpanned from behind her, jolting her out of her thoughts. she whipped around, splashing the hot-pink-haired stranger with the water from her drenched hair. he didn't look phased, though his eyebrows furrowed— the only indication of his annoyance— as he adjusted the umbrella he was carrying over his head. "what are you doing standing in the rain like that? you're going to get hypothermia."

the girl blinked at him, puzzled by his sudden appearance. the stranger looked exasperated, sighing, and then stepping towards her. her eyes widened, taking a step back, but his strides were longer and he reached her first. he pushed his umbrella forward, covering her small figure from the rain. "you're drenched."

she scoffed, crossing her arms over her chest and shivering slightly. "yeah, no shit sherlock." she inched closer to him, his body radiating warmth as opposed to her freezing exterior. if he noticed, he didn't say anything about it.

instead, he gave another sigh and murmured something under his breath that sounded suspiciously like 'my mom's going to kill me if I don't help her'. she looked up at the stranger, his green glasses still covered with water droplets from her hair-whip earlier. "you can warm up at my place if you'd like. don't get the wrong idea though." he said, matching her eye contact without expression. she hesitated, unsure. I don't know this guy... but I don't have anywhere else to go.

she gave him a small nod and they walk alongside each other in awkward silence as the taller male held the umbrella over both their heads. they had passed the neighborhood with the stores and entered the area with the households. each person made no move to start a conversation, although she wished he would. she did not want to be alone with her thoughts, the memory of her— now ex-boyfriend kissing her best friend fiercely; her best friend pulling his head closer to her-

"why were you standing in the rain?" the stranger asked, without looking, eyes still staring straight ahead as they walked past house upon the house. she looked up at him in surprise. she then turned her gaze away, looking down at her feet.

"nothing. just wanted fresh air."

"and pneumonia," he said dryly. a small smile perked at the end of her lips, which quickly turned into a grimace when another shiver racked through her figure. he noticed this, and shifted closer to her. "we're almost there, it's just up ahead. again, don't get the wrong idea."

"don't worry, i probably look like a wet dog. I doubt anyone wants me right now." her tone was light-hearted, but there was an underlying sound of sadness and truth to it. the male didn't say anything to that, choosing to let the statement sit in the air between them as they made their way to the front of his house. he handed her the umbrella, taking out his keys.

she took the handle of it, letting him unlock the gate and walking beside him up to his door. he opened the door with ease, and they're greeted with a gust of warm air from his home and a sweet-sounding voice that cried, "kuu-chan~!"
