Dara's POV

It was a gloomy Friday in Seoul. Most students were rushing home preparing their stuffs from their respected dorm rooms. Usually after class they head towards the dorm to get their things and get home to their families. But today, almost more than half of the students population were no where to be seen.

Several weeks from now the midterm examinations are to happen and being a scholar, I am to maintain an average above 85%. Some say that I had to loosen up a bit since final examinations are still months away, but I can't. I can't risk my future even for a day.

I stayed at the library for 5 long hours without noticing the time. I was so engrossed with reading that when I looked at the window thousands of drops where falling from the dark sky. It looked like it had no plans of stopping. I sighed upon remembering that I forgot to check on the weather for today and definitely for intentionally not bringing an umbrella. I looked around the place and found out that the only ones left in the library is the librarian, a student who works part time at this library and me. I took a glance at my wrist watch and sighed once more. It was already 6:30 and surely none of my room mates are in the dorm right now. None of them could bring her an umbrella even if she'd call them. Bom was staying with her Aunt for the weekends for their mini reunion, CL has this out of town trip with her classmates for cinematography and Minzy as always stays at her parents to bond.

I stood up and gathered my belongings and headed towards the exit. I wasn't really that bothered about the rain but I was worried about the papers I have at hand. I was halfway towards my research already and I am not planning on starting it all over again. It's not that I won't be able to do it again, in fact I have back-up files but I don't want to waste my time with something that was done already. I mean, we don't know what projects our professors would give us right?

I stared at nothing in particular until I felt an arm around my shoulders. He feels warm and took away my slight shivering from the cold weather. I slowly shifted my attention to him. He was taller than me, and that difference would be very obvious. He was looking down at me and smiled genuinely. I felt my heart skip a beat at the moment. I can hear the loud beating of my heart like drums but fast, faster than the 2/2 beat. He was saying something but I was just staring at him not hearing anything but the beat of my heart like the raindrops falling from the rooftop of the buildings.

I tried to comprehend what he was saying but as I was staring at his lips, the more confused I get. I furrowed my eyebrows at him and he just chuckled. I was deaf of what he was saying a while ago but his chuckling was like music to my ears that even with the noisy sounds of raindrops there was nothing I heard but it.

I felt him tug me pulling me closer to him walking under the rain but not getting wet. Wait, not getting wet? I looked up and saw an umbrella, he probably was holding it awhile ago while I was spacing out, gawking at him. Oh yeah, I still am spacing out gawking at him.

Everything felt like a slow-motion. Everything I see is in slow-motion. I felt the need and want the moment to not end. Why would I want this to end if I feel happy and contented at the moment. I know it's stupid to feel like this towards a stranger but I don't know why it felt so right.

Without even noticing we stopped. I was confused on why we did but he just chuckled. I felt thousands of butterflies rejoicing within my stomach. I looked around and found us in front of the Seoul station entrance and that dawned into me. Aissh! How stupid can I get? I pouted when I realized that he'd probably leave me now, oh silly me! He really would because he's a stranger.

I was about to thank him when I felt something warm on my forehead. Before my mind can even process what happened, I heard him say "Bye Dara!" and left. He was meters away and I was staring at his retreating back when finally my brain has processed everything properly. He kissed me. I looked up towards the sky and noticed that it stopped raining. I then smiled to myself and muttered "It rained." It probably isn't one of the days I consider as the best but definitely I found this moment memorable.
