Under The Rain I Fall In Love With You
Author : Precious Yunmin
Pairing : Homin
Changmin never understood why people hate the rain. It just feels too good when it rains. Because he can hear the rain drops falling through the trees and beating the cold sidewalk. Sometimes when he walked alone, he would stretch his arms out and tilt his head slightly to the sky, enjoy every moment of peace the God was offering. Let the rain clean his body.
The wind that would make the rain feel more alive against his face made him feel so alive. He felt safe under the rain especially when he was at his breaking point.
He love to feel each drop on his skin until he got so wet that he couldn’t tell anymore.
Who wouldn't like the rain? It’s washing everything away. I’ve always loved looking at the rain, it gives me peace so I can feel closer to Heaven.

But…
Today he is in one of his another breaking point, his parents decided to divorce after married for twenty five years.
And today it’s raining.
Not the soft drop kind of rain but the cold harsh rain that slashes as changmin try to make his way home. The first day like this, the first day he hate rain in his life, the first day the rain can’t wash away his pain.
Changmin cursed the dark clouds that hung over on the sky. He is alone in the bus stop, he missed the last bus and he has to wait half hour until next bus coming.
Changmin wrapped his sweater around himself tightly but he couldn’t get warm.
“Today is the worst day ever”
He cursed at the dark sky above. Minutes later his thought back to sense when someone bumped himself on him.
Changmin watched him. He was quite possibly the most handsome man he ever met. He never paying attention with the others before, but somehow this man got his attention, because his look or maybe because that man dirtied his white shirt when he’s running to this bus stop and bumped him.
“Ah sorry!” He said with terrible look in his face.
Changmin looked at him once more from his wet hairs to his soaking pants. He remembered his appearance, at least that man two or three years older than him. Changmin glared at him then wipe the dirt with his handkerchief.
That man, now sit beside him, bothering changmin so much because he has to wait for the bus with him who humming some unknown song under the rain, with just two of them in this bus stop.
It should be romantic, together under the rain, sing a song, if the case you were with a girl, but for God sake it’s annoying if it was both a guy.
“I love it when it rain, how about you?” Changmin ignored him not in the mood to talk with stranger even though he is attractive enough. But the fact that he still smiling even after changmin give him cold act make him pissed off even more.
“When I looking at the rain, I feel some kind of peace, feels like I’m in heaven”
What..
What did he said?
Changmin can’t believe what he heard. That was what he thought about the rain and that stranger repeated his words exactly like he said in his own mind before.
Is he psycho or paranormal who can read his mind or what?
“No matter how hard the rain is, the sun will shine brightly after, right?” That man put his chin in both his palm watching the rain. His eyes look at little kid.
Did I look like him when looking at the rain?
Changmin now looked at the man beside him, he can’t take his eyes out of him. His heart pounding after he heard that man words, it felt so true, it felt so right, what he said was the words changmin really want to hear.
Because he always thought it that way, and he relieved that someone else actually has same thought. The reason why he loved the rain is, because he can see the sunshine after.
Changmin hold his cheek, his body feel so hot and he knew that right now he’s blushing when that man give his scarf and put it around his neck. And he wondered why he didn’t show any rejection of that man kindness to him.
“Cheer up”
And after that, that man running under the rain, he left changmin who still confused about everything. Changmin’s heart’s beating faster.
His head filled with questions. He wanted to ask “why” that man gave his scarf to him. Next time when they meet again, changmin make sure to ask him, God know how smart his brain is, remember people face is easy for him.
“Thanks” Changmin whispered softly, he sniffed the scarf, smell of that man fragrance remained and he like it.
He think to himself, that he just falling in love again with the rain.
Forgive and forget, let the rain wash my pain away.
He forgave his parents.
He forgave himself because he can’t choose between his mother or his father.
He forgave himself because he loved them equally.
The rain stopped, he look at the sky above and smile so hard when he see the sun start to shine again.
The bus came and he hurriedly goes inside the bus.
Let’s meet again under the rain like this
