"Darn it!"

As the spitting rain turned into buckets, the man whose name tag was hanging loosely around his neck ran for his life, avoiding the heavy pour. He kept cursing under his breath when he realized that he was a step late to cross the street as the light had turned red, meaning he had to wait for a few painful seconds before he could go to the other side of the road and sprinted his way to the bus stop.

When the light turned green, he did not even check his surroundings and dashed to cross the street, along with the other rushed people who also forgot to bring their umbrella. But it seemed like it was, indeed, not his day. The bus stop, where he usually stayed in waiting for the bus to get him home, was full of people who also needed shelter from the rain. He grunted and looked around trying to find an empty spot, or a shop, or a convenience store—just anything so he could save the documents and anything non-water-proof in his bag. 

His eyes were busy searching around the area and finally, he found a nearby shop. He quickly ran to the said place and thankfully, he was alone in front of the shop.

"We're already close. I'm sorry."

Noticing that no one replied, Leeteuk put down his scissors and finally checked on the door himself. He had made sure to put the close sign on the door before he came inside and continued finishing the bouquet orders. But perhaps, the person did not see the sign. It was when he had been nearing the entrance that he finally realized the rain was heavier than he thought as well as—he raised his eyebrows—someone was standing restlessly in front of his shop. He pulled the door open and an immediate kick of the cold wind hit his face.

"Were you the one—"

"Ah, yeah. Sorry— I'm... I wasn't— I didn't mean to open the door. I'm just needing shelter right now. I hope you won't mind."

Leeteuk beamed at the man, "No problem."

He excused himself inside to finish hi
