Hi, I'm so sorry it's late. I got into a little accident 2 weeks ago and also exams at school a week ago. Once again, sorry. I hope you like this story.

Baekhyun was staring outside through the wet glass of the window. He watched the water poured from the sky and shifted a little before looked back at the cup in his hand. The rain was very hard and very cold too. It was still two in the afternoon but the atmosphere made it feel like nine in the evening. Baekhyun gripped the cup tighter and let the warmth of the hot tea in it moved onto his shivering fingers.

He turned his attention back to the rain out there, sometimes glanced toward the road down there, empty and damp. Baekhyun pursed his lips, his face slowly formed a frown. His toes were numb already and his patience had burn up despite the chilly air. He had stand behind the kitchen counter for almost thirty minutes, worry and anger mixed with longing feeling rushed down into his chest, made it so hard to breath.

Kyungsoo said he will be home in ten minutes when Baekhyun called him forty three minutes ago. ″I left my dictionary at Jongdae's″, he reasoned. Baekhyun was about to deliver his rebut when the younger hanged the call immediately. He only sighed at this and decided to wait for him. He threw his phone on the bed and that was when the droplets of water starting to fall.

Baekhyun stared at the road once again before sighed and walked back to the room. Still with the cup in his hand, Baekhyun sat on the chair not too far from the bed. Now, it would be different if Kyungsoo was here, Baekhyun thought.

The sound of his phone almost made him spill the tea on the floor. Quickly, he put the cup on the chair and scrambled on his way to the bed before grabbed the phone. ″Hello?″, Baekhyun managed to speak due to his racing heart at the moment. ″Baekhyun, I'm on my way″, the person from the other line informed. ″I know, now quickly. It's raining″, Baekhyun replied and the other chuckled. ″Yes, wait for me. Love you!″ Baekhyun smiled as he pulled the device away from his ear.

Baekhyun was sitting on the couch, two cups of hot tea on the table. He looked at the clock, 2.34, it said. Sometimes he would bit his lip while rubbed his palms together. Kyungsoo called him almost ten minutes ago. He should be home right now. He should be here right now, sitting next to Baekhyun and cuddling with him. ″God, where is he?″ Baekhyun looked at the door annoyingly. He couldn't help the terrifying feeling in his chest as the rain became harder. He kept watching the door, completely hoping that Kyungsoo would suddenly show up behind the door with his usual smile.

″I'll go find you, jerk″, Baekhyun shouted and his voice echoed in the room before he stood up.

Kyungsoo was sitting on a bench next to a small shop. His body wasn't so soaked but still, it was so cold and what he wanted at the moment was just something warm, like milk. The rain hadn't stop yet, he couldn't go home. Baekhyun must be worried, he thought.

He glanced at his surrounding, no one was exist and it was a bit scary. His hoodie wasn't helping him at all. The chill was killing him slowly and Kyungsoo felt like he was dying. He looked up at the sky, gloomy and it seemed like the water isn't going to stop soon. Maybe he should go back to Jongdae's resident, considering the place wasn't so far from his position right now.

Baekhyun, his mind reminded him. Kyungsoo pursed his lips and reached out for his phone, looking at the clock on the screen. Twelve minutes after his last call, when he informed Baekhyun that he was on his way. Well, maybe if he stay a little bit longer and wait until the rain stop, Baekhyun won't get mad at all.

The road was still empty, not really empty because Baekhyun could see a group of kids playing in the rain, their laughters were loud it fill the silence of the street. His umbrella was gripped tightly as he stood in front of a small shop, looked around for a sign of his beloved roommate while trying to keep the warmthness of his jacket around his body at the same time.

The owner of the shop was very kind, she told Baekhyun to came into her resident behind the shop to warming his self. Baekhyun only smiled, slowly rejected the offer and insisted to wait for Kyungsoo. He was just standing there for five minutes, but the cold water made it hard for him. He would make Kyungsoo regret all of this, made him waiting forever.

“Son, why don’t you sit here while waiting for the rain to stop?” he heard the ahjumma call. Baekhyun shaked his head, looking over his shoulder and smiled faintly. “Actually, I’m waiting for my...roommate”, he said. “Ah, that awkward boy?”, Baekhyun laughed a little at that. Kyungsoo was in fact, kind of awkward.

He remembered the first time they met. How Kyungsoo thought Baekhyun as a murderer with pretty face and refused to talked to him at the campus. Kyungsoo even punched him and succesfully made his left eye looked colorful with a mix color between blue and purple when Baekhyun approached him to asked about their history exam.

He chuckled at the memory. “He should be home right now”, he said softly and he heard the ahjumma hummed. “Then take him home”.

“Where are you?”, Baekhyun was calling him. “In front of a pet shop”, Kyungsoo said back. “Pet shop? Where is it?”, Baekhyun’s voice sounded cute when he confused, Kyungsoo smiled. “Not too far from Jongdae’s apartement. You remember the pink shop that looked like a Barbie house?” he heard Baekhyun laughed. “I remember”, he replied.

Baekhyun told him to wait there, “I’ll be there in, well, ten minutes”, and Kyungsoo nodded as he mumbled a small ‘yes’. The call stopped there and Kyungsoo, not knowing what to do at the moment just stared at a tree across the street. Then he shifted his eyes to a bench under it. His eyes moved again and now he looked at a small flower under the bench. He sighed and now his eyes looked around while he tucked his hands in the pocket of his hoodie. His shoes were soaked and his toes felt weird.

He huffed, feeling a bit tired and sleepy and also cold. When he was much younger, he used to play with his brother and running around his backyard when the raining started to pour. He missed that time. Sometimes, his neighbour, Sungyeol would play along with them. They would play football, because his brother always insisted to play the game.

He smiled without him knowing and closed his eyes, trying to let the sound of the water calm his nerves. He opened them again after eight seconds and let a soft sigh out. He looked around again, trying to find something to kill his boredom. Singing? Well, singing wouldn’t be so bad, his mind said.

“Butterfly, fly away so high. As high as hopes I pray, to come and wish for you..rescuing your soul that previous messed up touching me and you”, he sang softly, swinging his hands a bit. But he stopped immediately, “I forgot the lyrics”, he chuckled to his own silliness.

He decided to repeating the same part, over and over again, the noises of the rain became his instrument. “Soo!” he looked up and found Baekhyun waved at him. Baekhyun grinned and jogged toward his spot. “Baek!” he squealed, grinned as well. “You found me”, he joked and Baekhyun snorted at that while put his umbrella on the ground. “I spent the last of my energy for you”, he panted and took Kyungsoo’s hand, making the younger laughed and pulled him forward.

“Me too, I spent mine waiting for you”, he sticked his tongue out and Baekhyun only shaked his head. “We both spent our energy for each other, how romantic”, Baekhyun smiled and Kyungsoo stepped forward, slowly wrapped his arms around the older waist and slumped his face into Baekhyun’s shoulder.

“You look horrible. Like an adorable puppy which is shivering”, Kyungsoo whispered and Baekhyun giggled. “I am”, he whispered back, hug the smaller boy back and nuzzled Kyungsoo’s damp hair.   They stood like that, hugging in front of a pink pet shop and letting the warmth of their body fused.

“Okay, your hair is stinky. We need a hot shower after this,” Baekhyun pulled away and scrunches his nose. Kyungsoo nodded before picked the umbrella. “I’m sleepy”, Kyungsoo whined, looked up at Baekhyun before leaned forward and pecked the other’s nose. “I want you to take me to bed after the showering”, he told Baekhyun and the older smiled as he took the younger’s hand and lead him back to home.
