*Onew’s POV*

I held Rebecca’s fragile body in my arms as I rocked her back and forth. Finally her breathing slowed to the point where I knew she was asleep. I kissed her on the forehead then leaned my head back against the wall, closing my eyes.

--------------------------- 

“Where am I?!”

My eyes shot open at the sound of her cry. It was dark in the shed now. Thunder boomed outside while rain beat down on the roof. I looked down in my lap where Rebecca lay.

A flash of lightning gave us a temporary moment of light; enough for her to make out my face.

“Onew?!”

“Annyeong,” I blushed.

“What happened?”

“I was sitting up in the loft when you came storming in here saying how much you hate Minho and Nicole.”

She froze in my arms. “How much did you hear?”

“Um, that’s about it,” I lied. I had heard her whole speech, but I didn’t want to make things awkward for her.

“Oh, okay.” She relaxed a little.

A crash of thunder sounded outside, causing her to cling onto me in fright.

“Scared of thunder too?” I asked.

“So what if I am?” she asked defiantly.

“I was just wondering…”

*Rebecca’s POV*

The truth was I normally loved thunder; but being in a dark, scary shed while it was storming outside kind of creeped me out.

I slipped my arms inside Onew’s jacket and around his waist, hugging him close.

“Can we go back to being friends…Oppa?” I asked.

“I would really like that Rebecca-ya.”

I smiled to myself. In our own way we had forgiven each other. We may not be ‘boyfriend/girlfriend,’ but at least we were friends again.

“Should we go back to the house now?” I asked.

“Not unless you really feel like getting drenched at 3 o’clock in the morning.”

“How did you-,”

“Glow in the dark watches are amazing.”

He held the glowing watch up to his face, revealing his beautiful smile.

“You’re something else Onew,” I giggled.

“Is that a good thing?”

“Yes; it’s a very good thing.”

After a minute of silence…

“You know something Rebecca? I’m really glad we’re starting over like this. Things just seem less awkward and um…”

“I know what you mean Oppa,” I helped him out so he wouldn’t have to finish. “I’m glad too.”

I spent the night in Onew’s arms. Though it was storming out and we were in a leaky shed, it was the sweetest scenario I’d ever experienced in all my life.
