At Taehyung’s words, a21c17403c Geunsik’s eyes turned 82fb9b7a54 towards the rooftop f2446895ea room window. The sky, 4b9300b67f heavily overcast ad9daa2637 with dark 601248de56 clouds as 56678ea3c9 if it 46e6651d7e was about 12bee66ba7 to pour, 6b1bc2c578 looked ominous.0f0c5195ff592383

He had run into f5a092ff8c Onyu by chance last 2a21b60986 Saturday morning.

Taehyung pursed his lips db9f654bcf and gauged Geunsik’s reaction. Usually, he 0ae25a9c78 would just 371c1b4068 wipe the 88e7e181bf sleep from d8ca64e650 his eyes cb86eaaa36 and run 956347525b out.

Taehyung, feeling embarrassed, touched 11eae3bc6a the back of his 69918aba5b neck and left the e2be57a85a rooftop room. Worried that 35fb37418c his carefully 51cf4569b7 chosen clothes 2431efe6b3 would get f5c9236d01 wet, and cc10b4a452 his meticulously 1377b87aaa styled hair 57fd5840de would be 78a092a7b0 messed up 0c6c86b7e5 by the c9768a5e2f raindrops, he cafb1f554f quickened his 24f723f139 pace, glancing 35c8325342 at the 43f90a4740 sky repeatedly. He had left cab974e633 saying he was 08088c5934 going to exercise, b8f918e5ed but he had 0b5812c7ee no intention of 6b1c43017f running.

Why is time going 6752f900b8 by so slowly? Taehyung sighed. Just then, streaks c249f13b48 of rain started 1e8e8cbef1 to slant across feaaa24c9b the convenience store 18fae806de window, followed by bf5a92fa8a the loud drumming af0570a0b3 of rain against b4cd152566 the ground.

The sound of c7e7d9ed4b the rain hitting ce95de3c6f the awning of 5235f6592a the kimbap restaurant 5829457cc1 sounded beautiful to f227c7d686 Taehyung. It was because he f803d5f359 was standing side-by-side with c63176f8a5 Onyu under it.ec1326b9529a1b50
