The Rain Stops
On Rainy Days
*I wrote this part in Minho’s pov*
“Oppa, how?”
“It happens somehow.”
I said while composing myself.
Yoona took off my hand from her shoulder.
“I’ll let you two talk. Nice meeting you Sulli ssi.”
Yoona bows a bit to her and leave the place.
Sulli look down on the floor.
She is broken inside.
I know it.
And I’m a jerk.
I can’t even hold her to say it is going to be fine.
“Why?”
She asked without looking at me.
I clenched my fist.
“I’m sorry.”
“Is this why you didn’t call or e-mail me oppa?”
“Ssul, that is.”
Sulli wipes her tears which not supposed to fall down because of me.
“We were in love. We were happy.”
She said.
"Or is it just me?"
“Did she make you happier oppa?”
I nod even though I want to explain everything to her.
“Did you live well?”
I nod again.
I feel like punching myself right now.
She is standing few feet away from me but I can do nothing.
Her eyes were red and puffy and she was soullessly staring at me.
“I don’t do well right oppa?”
“Ssul, that’s.”
She stops me by shaking her head.
“Don’t say anything. Jebal.”
She is pleading me to stop talking.
Did I hurt her just by standing here too?
The drizzling rain gets heavier but she stood there under the rain.
I was drenched as well but I try to not care.
But, what if she fall sick?
After thinking for sometimes, I finally walk to her.
“It’s raining.”
“I know.”
Is her short answer.
“Let’s look for a shelter.”
Sulli shakes her head.
“Just leave if you wanted to.”
“What about you? Come on. It’s getting heavier.”
Sulli looks at me.
She smiles, finally.
Oh wait, she smiles but her face doesn’t look like she wants to smile.
She is forcing that smile.
“We both used to love rain.”
Her smiles fade right after she said that.
“But now it doesn’t matter to you right oppa?”
I chose to not answer that.
“Ssul, you’ll catch cold.”
Her expression tightens.
She looks away from me.
“Just go away.”
She said.
“Just go.”
She continues with a very cold tone.
I give up.
She won’t listen to me anymore.
I know I was wrong and she has the full right to get angry.
I finally leave her and run to a nearest store.
My eyes still looking at her all the while she is standing under the heavy rain.
“Why are you still being childish Ssul?”
I whisper only for me to hear.
I have Yoona now right?
That is the right thing for me to do.
I have to let Sulli go and find her own happiness.
But I never feel at ease.
“What do I do Ssul ah?”
***
Sulli heard the passerby ran to find themselves a shelter while her; she still stands under the rain.
She is enjoying the drops of rain.
Why?
Because it somehow washes her sorrow away.
Even though the pain is still there, but the cool drops makes her feel better.
Or maybe it can help her accept that she is no longer Minho’s important person in his life.
And there is no as in NO way for them to be close like they were before.
Minho never leaves her alone when it’s raining.
When it is raining, there will always be her, dancing in the rain and will eventually joined by Minho.
When its rain, they will be holding hands while enjoying it; strolling like the rain was snow.
