Foolishness

rainy day

You can become more immersed if you play the music called "Night Light Star" before reading.






'Tiring-tiring-'

In the silence of a dark dawn, with only the sound of rain and thunder and lightning to be heard, the phone rang.

[Recipient - Kang Tae-hyun]

"..hello?"
[...]
"Kang Taehyun? Taehyun?"
[...]

I was about to hang up, thinking I might have made a mistake.

[Yeoju-ya...]

A wet voice called my name through the phone speaker.

"What's wrong?"
[..scared]
"Taehyun, what's going on?"

At that moment, a white light flashed from the window and a loud noise filled the area.

[Ugh....huh]

-6 years ago-
"Honey, are you scared of something?"
"Why is that?"
"I will protect our Taehyun!!"
"Haha, you're so dependable."
"So what~~!"
"..a thunderstorm day?"
"Huh? Why is that?"
"When I was young, there was a day when I couldn't get home on time because I was playing late. It was a day when there was a lot of thunder and lightning. I was alone in the rain, shivering while listening to the thunder and lightning. Luckily, an old man saved me. But I think it was a trauma that happened, because even now, whenever I hear thunder and lightning, I'm so scared."
"Why is there such a sad story and such a mess..ㅜㅜ"
"Haha, why are you crying, heroine?"
"I'll protect you, Taehyun."
"Thank you, thank you"

[Ugh-]
"Taehyun, cover your ears and stay still. I'll be there soon."

I grabbed a coat and quickly opened an umbrella.
And ran to Taehyun's house

Ding-dong
'Bang bang bang-!'

"Kang Tae-hyun!"

A little later, the door opened slightly, and I saw Taehyun looking at me through the gap with tears in his eyes. Without a moment's hesitation, I opened the door and hugged Taehyun.

Taehyun let out a small groan as if he was surprised, and I hugged him tighter.

"Hey lady"
"It was scary"
"..."
"Sorry I'm late."
"Did you remember?"
"How can you not remember and be so scared?"
"..."
"I'll be by your side tonight."
"Thank you... Han Yeo-ju"

'side-'

Something soft touched my forehead and fell, and when I looked up, Taehyun was there.
He was looking at me with a smile

'side-'

And I was captivated by that smile and gave Taehyun a quick kiss on the lips.

"I'll put you to sleep"
"thank you-"

I headed to bed with Taehyun
Taehyun covered me with a blanket and closed his eyes while hugging me.
I lay still, listening to Taehyun's heartbeat, and when Taehyun fell into a deep sleep
I carefully brushed Taehyun's hair back and was intoxicated by the silence of the rain.
I fell asleep
