Concealed Sentiment
|| Prologue ||
You tilted your purple umbrella back, droplets of cold rain landing on your cheeks. The spring air around you was mellow, warm and calm. You'd forgotten how much you loved the rain, so you took your time walking home.
That was until you heard it, a soft sound from somewhere in the distance.
The sound of a person crying.
"What on earth-" You whispered to yourself softly, your body inching closer and closer to the sounds.
"No way-" Your eyes widened in disbelief, "Byun Baekhyun?"
You immediately made your way over to the whimpering boy, concern etched onto your face. He was sitting hunched over on a sidewalk curb, body lurching with each hiccup.
"What the hell are you doing out here? Don't you see you see how hard it's fucking raining?!" You shouted as you placed the umbrella over the both of you.
"Um... Do I know you..?" Baekhyun wiped his runny nose across his sleeve.
*This guy- I'm in two of his classes for fucks sake...*
You let out a long sigh before speaking again, " You probably don't. Doesn't matter though, you're out here in the pouring rain and it's worrying me..."
"O-okay... Who are you anyway? Feel like I've seen you somewhere..." Baekhyun got up off the wet pavement and held onto the umbrella's handle, his hand landing slightly under yours.
"Name's Y/N. I'm in two of your classes, Science and Geo..." You discreetly removed Baekhyun's hand and began walking.
"I'm curious... why are you out here in the first place? It's raining really hard, you'd have to be crazy to be outside without an umbrella..." You turned around and walked backwards as you spoke, "I mean... you don't have to say if you don't wanna-"
"I got dumped."
You paused, your eyes widening and lips slightly parting.
"I got dumped by Sohyee a couple hours ago. Nothing for you to worry about though, everybody wanted it to happen anyway..." Baekhyun fiddled his fingers as he spoke, head hung low.
"Baekhyun I-"
"You don't have to say anything," He raised his head and looked you dead in the eyes, "please don't say anything..."
Your heart felt like it was being gnawed on, an overwhelming wave of guilt coming over you. You weren't sure what to say, so you kept walking alongside him. The second time he held onto the umbrella, you let his hand stay. Both of you walked together silently.
The girl who loved the rain, and the boy who now hated it.
