It was just another rainy night. But even in an ordinary rainy night, hearts can be broken, resolution can be formed, new perspectives can be found, relationships can change. Those were what I learnt on that particular night.

Gyuri walked back and forth. Her feet started to feel weary from wearing high heels for too long. She went at the promised location straight from the airport, she even worried she was late, but when she checked her watch, she was five minutes early.

But now, it had been over an hour. There was no sign of him. Gyuri decided to get a seat in the cafe and wait for him inside. She sat herself at her favourite spot whenever she went there alone. Facing directly at the television in the middle of the cafe.

A waiter came. "G..Gyuri s...sunb...i mean, Welcome. what would you like to drink today, Miss Park Gyuri?"
"Ahh..it's you..." Gyuri didn't turn to look at the waiter, but she recognized the way he talk. it's the same one who always took her orders when she came alone, whenever he's not around to meet her. He was always busy, but she tried to understand, just as he always understood and supported her. That's how love supposed to be. Sacrifice and understanding, though when she think of their earlier interactions, such boring words never exist. Everytime they met was like a vacation in heaven, even if they would sat so far apart, just stealing glances at each other secretly, exchanging knowing little smiles and no words, and then slowly he approached her with his antiques, never failed to make her laugh and smile. When she felt gloomy he'd charge like a knight in his shining armour...heck, he didn't need a horse or an armour to won her over. His sincerity and love for her was so palpable, she'd be stupid to turned him down even though he never had enough courage to fully confess his feelings for her. She just understood and said yes to him.

"Maybe I was impatient to hear those words...I just didn't want to lose him just because he's such a coward."

"Hmm...."

"Oh...sorry....I blurted nonsense to you again...pretend you didn't hear it?"

"I didn't think you said anything nonsense, you're just.. saying what you wanted to say....but to the wrong person,I guess." His voice lowered at the end of his long sentence. Gyuri remembered the timid waiter used to spoke barely a few words stutteringly to respond her even though she'd talked a lot to him out of her boredom of having no one to talk to. Of course, she had her friends, but she'd never want to trouble or bore them with her philosophical rambling on her own love life. With this timid waiter, it would just came out, and he always encouraged her to continue, even if just by his one word response.

"Oh..you have improved. You learnt to talk. That's great."

The waiter half-giggled in shock at her unexpected response. He was taken aback and didn't know what to answer now. She was unpredictable. Always.

"T...thank you." He finally manage to forced a response, even if it sounded totally awkward.

"Aww, you're so cute." Gyuri exclaimed. She sounded cheerful, but he knew she wasn't feeling so.

"So...ww....what would you like to have?"

"......."

"Strawberry coffee? Or... something else?"

Before she could answer, a loud thunder filled the air.

"It's going to rain.....where is he?" She muttered to herself.

He quietly left her and went to the kitchen.

She stared at the TV, her mind could only think about and worry for him.

"We have a special stage performance today. SNSD will perform tango dance with their own choice of partners from male idol groups."

"Really.....I wish they had asked me...i really...."

Gyuri couldn't hear the MCs babbling anymore.

and She didn't have to look or worry for him anymore.

He was right before her eyes. So close, yet separated by the television box that made their world seemed so far apart. The show she's watching, was a live music show. She's well aware of the fact. And she was sure he's very well aware of their promise to met here after not seeing each other face to face for almost 8 months. She knew that he's aware he stood her up for over an hour here, now surrounded by the cold rain outside the open air cafe. Yet, he chose to happily dance romantically with another girl. He had never dance that kind of dance with her. She couldn't even see who the girl he's dancing with. She could only see his face's close up, smiling lovingly at the girl who's not herself.

She felt foolish. Gyuri stood up to leave. Heavy rain bedamned. She felt so angry at herself and embarassed for being so stupid waiting and pining for someone who wasn't even going to come. He didn't even bother to call her and let her know he would be busy dancing with another girl to meet her. She could've tried to understand if he had just told her.

She wiped her angry tears and left the table, only to be met with a collapsing tray on the ground. The timid waiter instantly squatted down to pick up the items on the floor. Gyuri realized what she had done.

"Sorry...I'm really sorry."

"He looked up at her.

"You're crying. Why?..."

"I'm...i'm just tired. Must be because i've been losing too much sleep.."

He glanced at the television.

"It's raining. Drink first."

She wanted to protest....but he continued, "Or my boss might fire me...because i let a customer left without ordering anything."

"Ridiculous..." Gyuri had to laugh at the ridiculousness. She wasn't feeling like staying at all, but she felt bad towards the waiter, whom she had started to consider as a friend, albeit a very distant, stiff one.

She sat back at her seat, but the waiter shoved her away to the corner of the medium sized, empty cafe.

"Raindrops are pretty, much better if you drink while enjoy the scene than watching boring TV shows."

She smiled, knowing his intention. "You're really kind."

He smiled shyly, but immediately looked away from her. Breaking away from the awkward silence, he excused himself to the kitchen and came back with a drink after a few minutes.

Gyuri sniffed curiously and immediately took a sip. "What drink is this? This isn't a normal hot cocoa, what did you add in it? Care to share? It felt really nice."

"How did it taste?"

"Warm...comforting...a little mysterious though..."

He raised an eyebrow and smiled proudly, before catching her beaming at him, and he immediately looked away again.

"You're weird." Gyuri complained, continued sipping. "What's the name of this drink? Next time...when it rain, i'll know what to order.."

"The drink....doesn't have a name...yet."

"Oh, come on..." Gyuri rolled her eyes.

"Ok....Park Gyuri drink. Does it sound ok?"

"Whaa....I gu
