The Skies Cries

“Why do you hate the rain?” Nam Woohyun asks me, his index finger sliding along the rim of the white ceramic mug almost filled to the brim with coffee. I follow his movements for who knows how long, and then suddenly he clicks his fingers, snapping me out of my mini exclusive trance.
