Intense rain, fresh but cold air, dark-ish grey clouds with lighting giving a flashing effect. Nothing seemed to have changed. As Lia left the hospital, the warmth left with her.


She had no jacket and was wearing a short dress that exposed her thin shoulders. She caressed her arms, feeling little to no warmth. Her legs were also trembling because of the conditions she was in.


"Taehyun, where the hell are you...." Lia mumbled to herself. Minutes ago, Lia had asked Taehyun to pick her up from the hospital, thinking he would already be there since Lia didn't give any clue as to why she was at such a place. Hence, she figured he would be apprehensive and would come immediately to the hospital, but he was still nowhere to be found

.

She waited there impatiently. Her foot stomped on the water puddle while freezing, waiting for his presence. She could go back inside the hospital, but Lia couldn't stop telling herself that he could come at any moment, and she shouldn't let her friend go out in the rain for her.


Lia was looking out for any sign of Taehyun, and she found it.


A bright red light was coming right in Lia's direction. A smile took shape on Lia's face when she saw a familiar car stopping precisely in front of her.


The car's window rolled down, revealing Taehyun's tender smile. "Get in, Loser." He said jokingly. Lia rapidly ran to the car's back door while still caressing her left arm. She sat down with her all wet and her makeup already washed off.


"Hey, Lia! Long time no see." Taehyun's sister said while driving off the slippy road carefully. "Good to see you, Seulgi!" Lia responded to her.


"Why were you at the hospital? Are you okay? Do you need a towel? Are you cold?" Taehyun started to interrogate Lia with a million questions, leaving her with no time to respond to him between the small pauses Taehyun gave in between each question.


"Let the girl breathe, Taehyun, gosh," Seulgi told him in a sisterly tone. Taehyun rolled his eyes all the way to the back of his head.


Surprisingly, Taehyun seemed happier than usual, and Lia could notice that by his exaggerated facial expressions. It must be his sister's presence that is making him so happy, Lia thought.


"Oh, nothing much. I just went to the Jung's mansion, talked with a boy, he suddenly started hallucinating, he then passed out, and now he's in the hospital. What a normal day, right?" Lia's sarcasm made Taehyun give out a chuckle, but right after, he covered his mouth as he shouldn't be laughing at such an event.


"That's so tragic. Is the boy okay now?" Seulgi said thoughtfully, taking Taehyun's smile out of his face as he noticed the atmosphere change. "He's okay, thankfully. It was so weird; he seemed to confuse me for... Jinsoul." At the exact moment, Lia said the blonde girl's name. The atmosphere had totally dropped, together with lighting that flashed right behind Lia, giving in a more dramatic effect to the conversation.
