"Ahh, seriously. Must it rain tonight, just when I forgot to bring my umbrella?" You mumbled as you reached the minimart, hurrying in to avoid the rain. It was near midnight. The streets were dimly lit, and the rain was pounding heavily on the pavement outside. "Hmm.. since i'm already here, I should get something to eat."
You became engrossed in shopping, ignoring the cashier's judgmental gaze.
Just then, another person came in. The tall figure walked swiftly to the snacks section beside you, and you caught a glimpse of him. He was wearing sunglasses.. in the middle of the night, and a hoodie and jeans. Deciding to not judge him, you tried to concentrate on your own stuff. But then, you just can't stop your eyes from darting in his direction. You thought that he looked familiar, but it couldn't be. He looked like he was around 180cm tall, with a slightly muscular figure, making him look extremely attractive. So, almost like an idol? But then again, almost any guy in Korea can have this kind of build. Just then, he turned and looked at you with a rather blank look on his face.
Your jaw dropped. Park Chan Yeol was standing in front of you. There was no mistaking it. Your insides are screaming. Sensing that you have recognized him, his ears turned red. He quickly grabbed a few snacks and made his way to the cashier, while you were lost in thoughts. "This must be fate!" You thought, smiling to yourself. "I must at least talk to him before he leaves! ".
No thinking straight, you grabbed a kimbap that was in front of you and went to the cashier,wondering how you should start the conversation, if there is going to be one. "Your change." The cashier smiled. What, he was already leaving! You had to act fast, this was your one and only chance to say something!
"Excuse me.. could you borrow me 3000 won?" You asked softly. He turned and frowned at you. Without saying anything, he pulled out 5000 won from his wallet and placed it on the table. Immediately afterwards, he walked out into the rain and disappeared.
No!
You dashed out into the rain, expecting to at least catch him again, but he was already gone. His silhouette faded into the darkness.
"Thank you.." You whispered into the night.
