CHAPTER 4
BECAUSE I LOVE YOU [JEONGMI]JEONGYEON'S POV
[11 AM AT JEJU HOTEL]
I woke up to a familiar melody, I opened my eyes and saw Mina covered in a blanket standing in front of the balcony humming. I swear I drunk too much but my head is not having any kind of pain.
JY : "Hmm ohayo, do you like that song?"
MN : "Ohayo Jeongyeon-san. What song?"
JY : "The one you were humming to a while ago."
MN : "Ahh that one, I just heard that while you were taking a bath yesterday. It got stuck in my head after that."
JY : "Is that so? Want to hear it?"
MN : "Yes please."
She sat next to me on the sofa, she stared at the open space while we play the song.
(This was the song I was referring to, it's really beautiful :) Credits to the owner of the video)
MN : "It's a beautiful song."
JY : "It's because I love you."
MN : "Huh?"
I didn't mean to confuse her but for whatever reason, her cheeks turned red.
JY : "Hahaha that was the title of the song. It's my favorite."
MN : "Ahhhh I thought you were still drunk, who was the singer?"
JY : "Yoo Jae Ha."
MN : "He must be famous."
JY : "He was but he died at a young age from a car accident, it was his first album and it was a time where he was starting to have a name in the industry. They said that the song was about his great love, who left him and came back to him."
MN : "It's sad when you find someone you really want to be with but end up losing them. It's more agonizing to know that you'll never have them back."
JY : "I always listen to this, I don't know it reaches me in a deep way."
MN : "Maybe it's because of the sincerity of the song?"
JY : "I guess so..."
MN : "Hmm about last night, I'm sorry. I was out of control."
JY : "You weren't, it was fine. You need to loosen up sometimes."
MN : "Thank you for helping me out."
JY : "I didn't do anything."
MN : "You did, it was hard for me to open up to someone. I didn't know if it's because I was drunk or if there's just something about you that made me feel comfortable. Whatever reason it is, I'm grateful to you."
JY : "Arraso, we still have a day. You can do whatever you want, I'll be by your side."
MN : "Hahaha are you sure? What if I do something stupid?"
JY : "Then be it.... If it would help you forget, let's do it together."
MN : "Arraso I'll think about it but for now want to buy some foods outside? Some snacks?"
I took a quick glimpsed outside, the rain was not as bad as it was last night and I think we can go to the near convenience store.
JY : "Okay, I'm going to change."
We made our way to the lobby where I tried to borrow some umbrellas but they only have one left.
JY : "Mina-ssi here you can have it."
MN : "What are you going to use?"
JY : "The rain is not that bad I think my hoodie can hold it."
MN : "Ani, let's share."
JY : "Are you sure?"
MN : "Of course haha, we shared a room what is an umbrella to us? Gaja."
JY : "Arraso."
We arrived at the local convenience store, we took out a variety of snacks. We were about to go back when the rain started pouring heavily.
JY : "I guess we're stuck here huh."
MN : "Hmm why are your shoulders wet?"
JY : "It's because when we were coming in the store the wind blows the rain to me."
Not that I can tell that it was because she was holding the umbrella too low.
MN : "Is that so? Hmmm, let's go back."
JY : "Are you sure? We might get soaked and how about the food?"
MN : "It should be fine, they're all in plastic anyway."
She started tying the opening of the plastic bag.
MN : "There you go."
JY : "Arraso, then let me hold the umbrella for you."
MN : "Gaja!"
We made our way back to the hotel, taking small steps and sticking close to each other. Then suddenly she started to run ahead of me.
JY : "Yah Mina-ssi! What do you think you're doing?"
MN : "Don't you like playing in the rain?"
JY : "But you'll get sick."
MN : "The most that can happen is you catching a cold and fever, it's not like it's going to kill you."
Mina continued to play in the rain. Just today, I want to do whatever comes up to my mind. I folded the umbrella.
I can feel the raindrops in my head, I looked up and saw the sky pouring us this rain. I was still a kid when I last enjoyed the rain like this.
MN : "Are you going to stay like that or are we going back to the hotel Jeongyeon-san?"
As I lowered my head I saw Mina standing in front of me in her hoodie, soaked in the rain giving me a gummy smile.
JY : "Hahaha! Arraso!"
MN : "Ehhh what are you laughing at?"
JY : "Nothing... Nothing... Hahaha the last one back at the hotel is the ugly one." I said as I run towards the hotel
MN : "Yah! That's unfair! You have long legs!" She said as she tried to ran after me.
I didn't like the rain before, I can't go out and it covers the view making it hard for me to take a good photo until someone; specifically this one right behind me proved that rain has its own beauty.
