RAINY DAY

(HIKARI's POV)

When I wake up from the terrible noise of continually buzzing alarm clock, white light slips through the slats on the blind. I spat down the clock, peace to my ears, silence to the room.

The rain is finally gone, it's work accomplished. The room is warm, smelling of a sweet ambiance, rain-like.

My head was full of him. It didn't seem real, none of it did. Last night was incredibly amazing, a beautiful fantasy fulfilled.

I stretch my arms as I wake and sit on my bed. The days stretches out ahead of me, so many empty hours to fill in with work. I was about to continue my normal routine when suddenly it hit me.

It was raining last night, I was drenched, I fell asleep in the car as I remember. I don't remember coming back to the room. Did he carry me here? Was I too heavy? I move my hands over my body as I stand in front of the mirror, thinking of how I he must've carried me.

Wait! It suddenly struck me. Something of far more importance than was I heavy when he carried me.

I don't.

Remember.

Changing my wet clothes.

Did he?

He's so dead.

I dash through the halls towards his room, I slam open his door and jump on his bed.

"WAKE UP!" I shake him aggressively. How could he?

"WAKE UP TAEHYUNG!" I began yelling now, not loud enough to wake the other members but just him.

"Hey, good morning." he rubs his eyes and smiled at me as though he's innocent, did nothing.

"Don't you 'good morning' me! You..." my voice breaks a little "you changed me into these clothes....didn't you? What happened after I fell asleep? Did you..." I could feel tears forming in my eyes.

"How could you!" a sense of shock and fear washed over him.

"Hey, calm down, please. I didn't do anything of that sort" he was trying to calm me down "You would've caught cold otherwise.....and I even closed my eyes while changing you into new fresh and dry clothes so." I figured that out from my shirt being worn the wrong side.

"But you didn't have to..." I felt humiliated, somehow... embarrassed.

"You-" he sneezed as I was saying. And then I realized he was soaked in rain too, last night. He risked his own health before me, even when his health mattered more.

This couldn't go worse. "I'm sorry...I shouldn't have said all that...I'm ....I really am" I just speak vaguely, guilt filled me up, and I just get off the bed reaching for the door to get away from all the awkwardness I created.

"Wait!" he held my hand and turned me around "I'm sorry too....I could've woken you up and I tried to but you were really tired, worn out...from all the work you do all day for us and from all the running in Serendipity with me. I didn't want to ruin your sleep, I'm sorry about that" my heart skipped a beat when I heard the name of the garden, we named. He's so considerate, so kind, and I'm being such a jerk right now.

"It's alright and I'm sorry too... shouldn't have yelled at you like that." I look into his eyes, I could see tenderness, the warmth in his eyes, the care in his touch and I couldn't help but smile at him.

I hugged him tight, reassuring that's everything's alright, it's all fine, everything's how it's supposed to be, no one's to be blamed.

And he hugged me back, reassuring me back that he had forgiven me and himself.

"I won't even touch you without your consent, Hikari. I might be evil, but I'll always be a gentleman, for you at least."
