"Oh boy." Seulgi mumbled to herself as she stared at the dark clouds forming up above them. Jimin was catching droplets of rain on his palm. It was unfortunate how the weather was good just a moment ago and all of a sudden it rains. When Jimin turned to the girl only to see a sad and disappointed expression, he couldn't help but curse the fake weather reports in his head.
They were taking shelter at a nearby shed. Their art materials lay on the chair, preferring to stand while they wondered together when the rain will ever let up. A sigh escaped Seulgi's lips, saddened from what she will be missing because of the unexpected downfall.
"I'm sorry." A curious gaze fell upon him; he could only give her a glance before looking at the view in front of them. "If only I knew it would be raining, I wouldn't have brought us here... I'm sorry." Jimin was never really fond of the rain, it's Jungkook who does. He couldn't help but think about the younger boy, surely, if it was him in this bad situation, Jungkook would've done something good out of it. All the rain ever does is bringing his mood down.
Seulgi frowned as she eyed his sorry expression and shook her head. "I should be the one apologizing. It's just that the sea reminds me of you, that's why I thought about painting it for our project. My selfishness brought us to this predicament." Jimin blinked and couldn't control the heat rushing up to his cheeks.
For a moment, he was out of it, her words swirling around his head. She wanted to go to the sea because of me. A surge of happiness welled up inside him, raising his spirits along with it. It wasn't the time to feel sorry about anything, he thought to himself. The rain; there's nothing he could do to stop it. Just waiting for the rain to let up a little bit and head home, he would surely regret it at the end of the day.
This day wasn't supposed to be this way; he can't just sulk in his misery because of a sudden bad turn of events. Plus, he's with Seulgi. Any day with Seulgi is never bad. So what if it rains? So what if things doesn't go as they planned.
Think Jimin, think. What would Jungkookie do?
As if a light bulb appeared above him, his previous sullen expression brightened up. Unsurely, he turned to her. But before he could even tell her his new plan, a rush of uncertainty and self-doubt crashed into him. What if she'd hate it? What if she doesn't like the idea? What if this plan is just plain crazy after all? What if she rejects it? What if... What if all she wants to do now is head home?
Warmth suddenly enveloped his hand; a light squeeze brought him back to his senses. "Jimin?" He belatedly realized that she was now staring at him worriedly, her hand soft and small on his.
"Are you cold?"
"No, I−" How can he even feel cold; If the warmth from her hand just rippled to his whole being. "I'm fine... thanks."
"Are you sure?" Jimin nodded with a small smile, and before his courage would leave him again, he finally asked what he's been meaning to ask;
"Seulgi-ah, would you like to play in the rain with me?"
