14. Our characters getting caught in the rain together.
It was a sunny afternoon when the two friends decided to go for a leisurely walk in the park. Key word, was.Â
Just as they arrived, the sky grew cloudy and the lightest of raindrops began to fall, the first one landing on the tip of Baekhyunâs nose and making him stop in his tracks. âOh no." he thought, his eyes widening slightly as he realized that he had forgotten that the weather was supposed to get stormy and that he forgot to bring his umbrella.
Swearing under his breath he smacked his forehead with his palm in slight frustration,âShit, I knew I forgot something.âÂ
Kai had stopped with him and didnât quite understand what was wrong until he himself felt a raindrop fall on the top of his head. Unfortunately for them as they simultaneously looked up at the sky the rain began to pour down with a vengeance.Â
"Shit! Run!" Kai exclaimed as he grabbed Baekhyunâs hand and ran to the nearest thing with a roof to cover them from the storm, which happened to be a nearby bus stop. "Did you know it was gonna rain today?" he asked as he ran a hand through his hair.
Baekhyun nodded in response and frowned slightly, internally praying that it wouldnât begin thundering anytime soon,âI did, but I forgot about it until now.âÂ
"Aish, do you at least remember how long itâs supposed to last?"
"If I remember correctlyâŚabout an hour or so." He licked his lips nervously as he heard the sound of thunder in the distance and swallowed the lump in his throat as he tried to calm himself. He didnât mind the rain, but he was never fond of thunder.Â
"AN HOUR?!" Kai looked at him in disbelief, just about ready to smack the others arm before noticing his odd behavior,"Baekhyun,âŚare you alright?"Â
"What? Yeah, Iâm fine. Why wouldnât I-" before he could finish his sentence he jumped and let out a squeak as the thunder began to roar above their heads, instinctively clinging to the others arm.
Kai laughed at his response to the thunder, thinking Baekhyun was simply startled,âIt really is storming hard, huh?â he looked down at him and frowned at the sight, Baekhyun was shakingâŚseverely. âBaekhyunâŚare youâŚafraid of thunder?â
Baekhyun looked up at him, fear evident in his eyes, and averted his gaze elsewhere. His cheeks glowing a light pink from embarrassment,he swallowed and took a deep breath before speaking, his voice coming out shakey,âN-âŚYesâŚâÂ
Kai frowned and looked down the street, seeing the bus approaching,âLook, the bus is coming. Donât worry, Iâll take you home and we can hang out there. Iâll protect you from the thunder.â
Before Baekhyun could say anything, Kai dragged him on the bus, paid the driver for both of them, and sat him down next to him in an open seat. He then pulled out his noise cancelling headphones and mp3, placing it over Baekhyunâs ears and putting on a random song. âThere, now you wonât be able to hear anything.â
Baekhyun stared for a moment in disbelief, no one had done that for him before, he smiled brightly and laid his head on the others shoulder as the bus began to move,âThank you.â
Kai smiled softly and leaned his head against the others,âNo problem.âÂ
