I'm not a private person!
Because we're together
After spending time together at a cafe, the two set out under the slightly darkened sky.
하교은
"I was really happy today."
Kyo-eun said.
우지(지훈)
"Me too."
Jihoon answered briefly, but with a voice full of sincerity.
Two people walking side by side on a quiet street.
하교은
“…Oh, it’s raining?”
Kyo-eun looked up at the sky in confusion.
우지(지훈)
"Don't you have an umbrella?"
하교은
"yes....'
As soon as he finished speaking, the rain suddenly started pouring down with a whoosh.
하교은
"uh!"
우지(지훈)
"Run!"
Ji-hoon grabbed Kyo-eun's wrist tightly. Kyo-eun was dragged away without even a chance to scream.
The two held hands tightly and ran together at full speed.
하교은
"Eww!!"
우지(지훈)
"Don't fall!"
Ji-hoon looked back at Kyo-eun and smiled, and Kyo-eun, with a wet face, laughed and ran.
Both were drenched in rain. They barely managed to escape by jumping under the roof of a nearby small parking lot.
He gasped for breath. Kyo-eun smiled, brushing her hair back.
하교은
"Wow...it's like a real movie."
우지(지훈)
"That's right... haa. I guess that's why there are rainy scenes in romantic dramas."
Jihoon laughed, shaking off his wet hair.
And when their breathing had calmed down a bit, Ji-hoon carefully reached out and brushed back Kyo-eun's wet hair.
우지(지훈)
"Even the rain makes you pretty."
Jihoon muttered.
하교은
"Don't...don't say that...lie..."
When Kyo-eun looked around in confusion, Ji-hoon tilted his head slightly and looked at her.
우지(지훈)
"Hmm..? Seriously. Our manager is the prettiest."
하교은
"...!!!"
My heart felt like it was going crazy.
And then, Ji-hoon covered Kyo-eun's wet face with both hands and kissed her carefully, carefully.
A slightly cold drop of water flowed between them, but for that moment, it was warm.
Beneath the quiet sound of rain, it felt like only the two of us were left in the world.

하교은
"Where should we go now?"
At Kyo-eun's question, the two, drenched in rain, looked for a nearby shelter, and Ji-hoon spoke.
우지(지훈)
“…Want to go to our studio?”
하교은
"Yes?? Are you okay?"
우지(지훈)
"It's okay. It's raining like this, so it's pointless to go into a cafe. The company has showers and everything."
Kyo-eun hesitated for a moment, but when Ji-hoon reached out and grabbed her wet hand, she carefully took it.
Hive Workshop.
Whoosh— The sound of rain still falling outside the window.
Ji-hoon turned on the lights in the studio softly, took out a towel, and handed it to Kyo-eun.
우지(지훈)
"Let's clean it first."
하교은
"thank you…"
Kyo-eun smiled awkwardly while wiping her hair with a towel.
Ji-hoon also wiped off the moisture from his T-shirt and sat down in front of his computer, saying playfully.
우지(지훈)
"It's raining, so should we improvise a song?"
하교은
“…Huh?? I, I’ve never done anything like that before?”
우지(지훈)
"Just... tell me how you feel. Like, 'How it feels on a rainy day.' Anything really."
Jihoon placed his fingers on the keyboard and began to lightly play a melody with a few chords.
A warm yet slightly lonely melody, perfect for a rainy day, spread across the air.
Kyo-eun spoke carefully.
하교은
"It's warm, but I feel a little lonely..."
Jihoon nodded and changed the chord progression. A softer, more heart-wrenching melody rang out.
우지(지훈)
"Okay, something like that."
Jihoon began to carefully write down the lyrics with a focused face.
On a rainy street, with wet toes, I saw you smile. The world was blurry, but you were clear to me...~'
하교은
"and..."
Kyo-eun exclaimed in admiration without thinking.
하교은
“Wow… Jihoon, you really are a genius…”
At those words, Ji-hoon smiled shyly and said.
우지(지훈)
"What about genius? It's just that, thanks to Manager Kyo-eun, I became more emotional today."
하교은
"...It's because of me?"
우지(지훈)
"Yeah. The rain today, the running around, the laughing together—it's all inspiration."
Ji-hoon looked at Kyo-eun and smiled warmly.
우지(지훈)
"Thank you. For making me happy all day."
Kyo-eun nodded, suppressing her pounding heart.
Outside, rain still fell, but warm music and emotions flowed between them.
