Hey guys! I know I said that I will come back soon but it's already been a few months. I just wanted to inform you that this story will continue. Although, I will be updating pretty slow because of my exams. So please bear with me and continue to read this story.

Just read the last chapter again as this is the continuation of it!

I sighed.

"So that's what happened, huh?

"Yeah" Mi-Soo said.

Currently, we were sitting outside of a convenience store, where I found Song Mi-Soo crying.

"Soyeong is a desperately lonely girl. She didn't have any friends before. But she isn't inherently kind. Her loneliness has manifested in how cruel she is toward those she thinks are socially beneath her. She mocked Eunbi because she had no family, repeatedly using the derogatory word "orphan" to refer to her." She said

"At the starting, when Soyeong joined the school, she too was bullied, but after a year, her bullies left the school when she told her father about it. When Eunbi came to our school, Soyeong, in order to look cool and let out her frustration bullied Eunbi. After Eunbi left, the target became me." Mi soo continued as she started sobbing.

I hugged her.

After a while, she stopped sobbing.

"That girl, the one who was along with you was Eunbi right?" Mi soo questioned.

I nodded

"But your friends called her Eunbyeol! Didn't they?"

I once again nodded.

When no other question came up

I looked up and saw Mi-Soo with a complicated face.

"It's complicated." I said

"Should I ask?" She asked contemplating

"Nope, it's a long story."

Mi soo nodded.

Suddenly her phone rang.

"Hmmm! Eomma!(mother)" She spoke on the phone

Eomma. A term I hadn't used for a long time.

"Yeah, I am coming." She replied

"Yeah."

"Bye."

She hung up the phone and said,

"My mom called me, asking me where I was."

I nodded.

"It's late right now. It also looks it might rain. We should go home." She said

"Hm." I said with a smile.

"Thank you again for helping me there." She said

I smiled.

"No problem."

🌸

All the thoughts which were crowding my mind

had drained my energy.

Suddenly drops of water crashed upon me,

drowning me in my own daze, of neon and shattered thoughts.

I was drenched.

Rain fell on me as I stood there alone in confusion and despair.

Why was I here?

Why was I not in my own world?

Was it a dream?

Even if it was, I didn't want to wake up.

This might have been the best dream I ever had.

Why were the characters different from what they were in the drama?

I looked at my shadow on the ground.

There I stood like a lost puppy.

Suddenly a shadow emerged from behind me.

And an umbrella covered me.

I looked behind and saw somebody who was too close to me to let go.

'Alas, this shall disappear like morning dew under the searing glare of the sun.'

I had just finished practice, my swimming had to get better.

It just had too.

It was the only thing I was good at.

I left the building where I usually came to practice swimming.

It was late at night and raining pretty bad.

I opened my umbrella and started walking.

I was walking along the way when I saw someone crouching down in the middle of the road.

It was a girl.

I was literally trying my best not to run away from there.

Who in their right mind would walk up to a person who is standing, or sitting, in the middle of the road at midnight in rain?

When I was close enough, the person looked familiar.

"It's you!"

After Soyeong ran away from those girls, Songjoo, Shijin and I ran after her.

We naturally caught up with her.

She was crying her eyes out.

Song joo and Shijin coaxed her into going home.

I would consider myself selfish if I didn't say that I was worried about her.

Even though that girl bullied me.... a lot.

She was trying to reprimand.

It might take a little time, but I believe we could be friends.

Suddenly my phone rang.

I saw that it was mom.

- Hello!

-Yah Eunbi!

I yanked the phone away from as moms voice busted out

- Where are you both! It's so late. Are you both together?

I looked around.

Shit, did we leave Eunha there?

No worry, I will text her later.

- um...yeah mom. We will be staying at Shijin's.

It was afterall supposed to be a sleepover before.

- That's good! The weather forecast showed that it might rain so and not catch col. Tell Eunha to cover herself properly she is more prone to falling ill.

- yeah mom.

- Ok then, take care of yourself and Eunha, after all you are the mature one.

I chuckled.

Ahh! I so wish Eunha was here to listen to this.

- Bye Eunbi

- Bye mom

I smiled as I looked at my wallpaper.

It was a photo of Me and mom with Eunha.

These two were the closest I had to family right now.

A water droplet fell on my cheek as tears ran out my eyes.

It had started raining.

I crouched down on the road and started crying. I couldn't stop.

In the past, I yearned for a family and now I had one.

I was just so damn happy!

I was getting drenched when an umbrella was placed above me.

I turned around and saw,

Han Yi An?

"It's you." He exclaimed

I looked at him confused as a smile covered his face but later disappeared when he saw me crying.

"Hey, what's the matter"? He asked as he crouched down beside me

"Nothing." I said as I smiled.

Okayyyyy." He said hesitantly.

"Have you eaten dinner?"

I was about to say something when my stomach answered for me.

He chuckled as he got up and put his hand forward to help me get up.

I grabbed his hand, and he pulled me towards him.

Suddenly I was pulled forward and I fell into a warm embrace.

"Don't hide it......at least not from me." He whispered in my hair

I smiled.

I looked up and saw him already looking at me.

I felt something in my stomach....

Maybe because I hadn't eaten anything yet.

I had no idea what I was doing right now.

I left the house two hours ago and have been walking since then.

Contemplating!

Contemplating what to do!

I had no idea where to go.

My dad and I had a fight.

As always!

But this one was different.

How is it my fault that mom left us.

How is it my fault that she is marrying somebody.

I sniffled as tears fell from my eyes.

It was already dark, and it had started raining a while ago.

I was able to get an umbrella from a nearby shop.

But my hair and clothes were wet.

While I was walking, I heard someone crying.

I looked around and saw a girl standing with her back facing me.

Her hair was similar.

Even her back was similar.

I walked towards her.

Why? The girl sobbed.

'Why?' Why what?

The sound....

I gasped and hurriedly went towards the girl and placed my umbrella above her so that it was covering both of us.

Well, her, covering fully

But me, not much.

Water was still falling on my back.

But it doesn't matter.

As long, it is for her!
