jisung finished his shift at work, and on his way home of course it started to rain.

he was tired as it is, but luckily he had an umbrella with him. he takes it out and keeps walking before he bumps into minho.

"minho!"

"jisung"

"why are you walking out in the rain!? with no umbrella either!?" he gets closer to him and puts the umbrella on top of him so they both of them could stand under it.

"I should ask you the same thing"

"I was working"

"you work?"

"yeah? that's what a normal 17 year old does!"

"you're even like this after working?"

"like what?"

"loud and... well... yourself I guess"

"so!?"

"whatever, move I'm going home"

"you never answered my question! why are you out!?"

"I went to go to hyunjin's but he wasn't there"

"ahh okay!"

"come on move"

"you can't walk out like that without any protection! you'll catch a cold if you walk in the rain!"

"I don't really care if I do, I wouldn't have to go to school and see you so"

"hey!" jisung pouts and minho chuckles.

"you smiled!"

"no I didn't" minho moves jisung away and keeps walking, but he follows him.

"you did!"

"you're following me now?"

"so!? wait no that sounds creepy! I'm just walking you home so you don't catch a cold from this rain!"

"you're clearly tired jisung, go home and sleep"

"I'm fine!"

"do you work a lot?"

"no no I'm fine!"

"you're lying, are you ashamed or something?"

"no! I... okay... yeah I do work a lot"

"why?"

"to keep my house"

"why do you need to do that what about your parents?"

"they died... a few months ago..."

"oh"

"I've got jobs left and right so I can keep their house"

"I see"

"but I'm not tired!"

"how can you not be? aren't you stressed from it? have you ever actually had time to yourself?"

"what about you!? you're asking me all of these questions when I should be asking you why you're so cold!"

"I'm not cold"

"yeah sure!"

"what it to ya anyway?"

"what are you talking about?"

"you're the only one who's talked to me besides hyunjin, what's your game?"

"I just feel that not everyone is naturally cold like that! something has happened that made you this way!"

"I don't want to talk about it"

"ah ha! I'm right! family troubles? a death you can't get over? someone—"

"it's none of your business what I went through!" minho stops walking and looks at jisung. "don't ask me about it again! you don't know me and you don't want to know me, stop bothering me already!"

minho walks away from jisung as the rain falls down on him, when he turns around he sees jisung on the ground.

"I knew you were tired" minho sighs before lifting him up and carrying him back to his house.
