The rain began to fall steadily. Perhaps because it was summer, I was eating watermelon while listening to the sound of the rain, which made me feel good, and then I remembered that time again.
Beom-… It’s been a long time but I still feel cold..ㅎ
The day that Mr. Sanghyuk went abroad to study, the sky was unusually clear. The weather was usually cloudy, but on that day, it was so bright that it was almost indifferent.
Maybe that's why my tears were more visible, and I couldn't hide them even if I wanted to. A friend from the neighborhood tried to comfort me at the time... but I couldn't hear any news about her after moving.
The day after that friend comforted me, it rained cats and dogs. It was so heavy that I wondered if there was a hole in the ground. I had lost all meaning in life, and I was caught in the rain when that unknown person held an umbrella for me.

I still remember that kid, and that person who went to study abroad, whenever it rains.
These two influenced me. One was positive but had a negative impact, and the other left me with only positive influences, leaving me with no time to express my gratitude.
Bam.
Bum-ah... I spilled it.
A piece of watermelon fell from my spoon and left a red mark on my clothes. It was a sweet, but ugly... mark.
This is what you were to me.
It was a sweetness that was hard to escape, but when I looked at him, it hurt... I hated seeing him... No, he was a person that was hard to look at.
As I was thinking about you, I wiped it off with a wet tissue. Oh my... It didn't erase well and just spread more.
Bum-ah...but what was his real name...
I tried to clear my head and think of the child's name, but no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn't come up with anything, so I was about to give up when this thought occurred to me.
A name that I couldn't remember no matter how much I thought about it.

Ah. It was Han Dong-min. Han Dong-min..
