The rain had lasted long enough and they had no other choice but to take shelter under the tree again until the rain finally stopped

After Bright cried for a while in Metawin's arms, finally his crying was over and he became calmer, he was a little embarrassed by crying like that.. So, he sat down a little way from Metawin then hugged his knees and buried his face there

The cold air hit their skin and of course they were a little shivering, also with their clothes soaking wet like now it made them even colder.. Then, Metawin opened his bag and took one of his dry t-shirts then changed his clothes there

On the other hand, Bright was still silent while hugging his knees, he was shivering lightly from the cold.. Metawin realized that and finally handed him one of his dry t-shirts

"Change your clothes, you'll get sick if you keep wearing that wet shirt"

"No need.."

"Don't be stubborn, come on and change your clothes, I won't peek"

Bright glanced at Metawin doubtfully

"I promise.."

Bright sighed and he took the shirt from Metawin's hand, then he turned around and so did Metawin.. He began to take off his shirt and change it with shirts belonging to the man who was his savior tonight

After he finished changing his clothes, he turned around again and in a low voice he said, "Thank you"

Metawin also turned around and smiled at Bright, "No problem"

"Where do you live? Let me take you home" Metawin continued

"You don't have to.."

"I'm afraid something might happen to you again"

Bright hesitated a little between allowing this man to accompany him or walking alone.. But after raging on with his own thoughts, he finally nodded in agreement

"Okay, if you insist.." Bright said

Metawin just nodded while wringing his wet clothes, like what Bright did this time

"Anyway, thank you for saving me, sir.. I owe you" Bright opened his voice again

"Don't call me like that again, I don't think our ages are that different"

"Then what should I call you?"

"Hmmm.. Just call me Win"

"Win?"

Win nodded

"My name is Bright.."

"I know"

"How do you know?"

"Don't you remember me?"

Bright thought for a moment as he looked at Win's face, then minutes later he finally realized that this was the customer who tasted his apple pie this afternoon

"F-Forgive my rudeness, sir" He felt bad about not recognizing Win

"Hey hey.. stop it.. just call me Win, okay?" Win waved his hand showing that he didn't agree with the call.. He felt so old when called like that

"Okay, Win.. Then, please come to my house.. I'll make you a cup of hot tea and you can also take a shower there"

Win stood up and stretched his body which was a little stiff from sitting too long, "Well, good idea"

Bright also stood up and they finally walked out of the trees, but it seemed that Win had forgotten something and he didn't remember what it was

They kept on walking and finally got out of the park and headed for the bus stop
