I
It's raining..
All I have to do is to wait for the rain to stop in this little waiting shed until I walk my way to school again.
As I read my book, you came in soaking wet, blaming yourself that you shouldn't done such a stupid thing to run under a thousands of raindrops. You kept on murmuring 'a duck is waterproof so should I. I'm one of them though'
I never entertained a person unless they do it first and so, you talked to me asking if I'm a student since you didn't even know me and I'm just wearing my ordinary clothes.
I asked where school did you came from and you answered a specific name of school which is only beside our's.
It was quite uneasy for me to communicate with someone like you who is obviously talkative. I'm a self-centered person and I'm a kind that would rather be quiet than to be bothered with the things that I'm usually not into.
'News Report: Today is the start of the rainy season and will probably last until the end of the month. We advise you to bring umbrellas everywhere you go'
A rainy season for a month and a skipping school season for me.
The other day... I went to stop in that usual shed again, still reading my book, waiting for the clouds to calm itself from crying. I saw you rushing from the other direction towards the shed. You said 'hi' and I'm not that person who'll act as if I didn't see it so I just smiled at you in reply.
You can't stop yourself from talking too much and it somehow annoyed me since I want a quiet place to stay. I decided to act like I'm reading but in reality, I'm listening to your story.
You said that even though we only met because of this stupid rain, you can feel that I'm a trustworthy person that's why you kept on talking to me, like what you've said ' A quiet person doesn't tend to share secrets, why? because they're quiet!'
That was corny but heck, you're laughing insanely and I was carried away with it. Your laugh is way more funny than the joke itself.
You introduced yourself as 'Choi Yena' together with some of your own made description. ' They say I look like a duck and I kept on saying that yeah I really do look like it but how come that I'm not waterproof? Anyways I'm unique myself so I haha it's embarassing. I know that I'm cute'
You laughed upon saying those. I'm impressed about the way you look upon yourself. You smiled awkwardly and it's cute. Really cute.
The next day, I decided to get some foods to bring with me to school. I went to the usual spot to wait for the rain to slightly stop. I didn't expect that I'll saw you there again, I thought that the last two days are just coincidences but you said that you used to be in here if the rain is still pouring.
You shared about your favorite genre of books and I didn't know that your an aspiring author! I didn't know because your face doesn't define that kind of hobby/work of yours. By this time, I was getting interested with your background that I even exchanged conversations with you up until we're both late for school.
You told me that you're only living with your sister. Your parents died when you were 16 exactly two years from now because of a car incident but you didn't give up on your dreams for them. Your dream to become a famous writer.
I didn't realize that a time will come and I'll wish for it to be rainy like the past few days. I became fond of going to that shed not just for the reason of waiting for the rain to calm but also for the reason of seeing you.
We became close to each other and I became a more communicable person than I used to be and it's all because of you. You pulled me out of my comfort zone and made me into a better person who's inspired by the story that you kept on telling me with...
It's all about the story of your life....
Your dreams.....
Your future......
and your determination to pursue your dream and the dream of your parents....
As days passed by, I started to feel something inside of my chest while waiting on that usual spot. I became more excited to the thought of meeting you again everytime it rains.
You came and say 'hi' again while closing your transparent umbrella. Your carrying something from behind you, a book with your name written below.
I was really amazed since you managed to start capturing your dream even though you're still studying. You gave it to me, saying that I should read it because it's the genre that I want and you spent time to make this book even if your money is not that enough to publish that one. It's your one and only copy but you already gave it to me to serve as my birthday gift for my special day this month.
I never felt happy like this my entire life! I never became a focus answer for someone. I'm just an option eversince... It's just making me overwhelmed for I felt my importance right now.
You smiled and hugged me unexpectedly, saying that it's my pay for your book. I laughed about how corny you are. You bid me goodbye since you're going to meet with your publisher whom you're trusting your story with.
The book contains 100 pages entitled 'when the raindrop falls'
I smiled upon knowing that it's title is the same as the time we first met.
A month came by and it's not the usual rainy day that it used to be. No more resting in the shed, no more chit-chatting and no more 'Choi Yena'....
I can't handle not to see your brightened up face anymore so I decided to visit the usual spot. I waited till' afternoon but I never spotted a person nor a shadow in there. You never came and it's not your fault, it isn't raining so you don't have any reason to stay in here.
That night, I read your book up to morning but I'd only finished the first and middle part. The story came the way how we met each other. Even the small details are in there and I know, by the time that I spent together with you under the same roof, waiting for that rain to stop, my feelings started to grew up till' it's already enough to say I love you.
Today's my special day. I came up with the idea to spent it with you and also, to confessed my affection. I gladly ran towards the waiting shed when I saw that it's raining.. Maybe, I can see you again. I really missed you a lot. I really do...
I brought your book, promising that I'll help you make another copy of it as a sign of my gratitude.
I waited....
I waited the whole day.......
I waited till' the rain stopped falling....
but again, you never came.........
I was disappointed yet I continued to cheer myself up since there's still tomorrow. I opened the television and just decided to entertain myself with it.
A news suddenly popped up during the episode.
Breaking News! : A Student from ****** Academy was stabbed in a street near the park. The said student was also an aspiring author. Student Choi Yena, 18 was rushed to the hospital but declared dead upon arrival.
I didn't move for a minute. Tears kept falling from my eyes as I watch your innocent body covered with white sheet in the news. It isn't sinking throughout my system right now. All I can do is to cry.
I thought that you didn't came because you're still busy....
I thought that you didn't came because it's not raining.....
I t-thought about random things b-but it w-wasn't the reason why you didn't a-arrive. Why does it have to be this time? The time that I already realized how much I love you. Even if we only meet a month ago, you never failed to make me feel the same thing I want a person to do things for me. You never failed to make me happy, to make me feel special and to make me feel loved.
I can't still move on but I have to.. I cried every night in my room silently, remembering the time that you gave me your book and hugged me for the first and last time...
I opened your book and continued to read the last part even though my eyes are already tired..
Final Chapter:
