"talk about bad timing," you grunt to yourself, quickly stepping away from the rain and under the shelter of the bus stop's roof. you brush the water off of your shoulder, as if it would make your clothes dry𑁋yet you did the same with your hair.
you were drenched, almost totally, by the rain due to you running from your school campus to the bus stop right outside its entrance gate. on the typical days, where it's sunny or just a little cloudy and breezy, you'd walk home jolly and giddy. on days where the rain came greeting, granting your wish of making the weather a little colder, you'd walk home too, with your best friend lulu.
well, your light blue umbrella named lulu. don't ask why you named a mere umbrella.
but today, out of all the days, someone decided to wish for a heavy storm upon earth. and their wish was granted. usually, you'd always bring lulu with you whenever you went. she was a little foldable umbrella with a strap attached, so you always tied her to your backpack so you wouldn't forget. though, today, you somehow magically forgot to reattach lulu to your bag after leaving it out to dry after yesterday's brief downpour.
the dark sky and the thundering storm clouds told you that the heavy rain wouldn't end its visit anytime soon. you glance at your wristwatch. 30 minutes to dinnertime.
"and mom's cooking dakbokkeumtang (spicy braised chicken) today!" you whine, remembering your mother's reminder for you to rush home as quickly as you can after extra classes because she'll be cooking up such an amazing meal that you've always loved.
unable to do anything, you take a seat feeling defeated. there was no way you would walk home half a mile away, in such a dangerous weather. the dakbokkeumtang would have to wait...
you jump right out of your trance as you hear a familiar voice call your name from amidst the rain. a drenched𑁋completely drenched𑁋riki appears before you, smiling like a complete idiot.
"riki!!!" you shriek. "are you crazy? do you want to get sick? why did you run like that𑁋"
of course, you're silenced by a quick kiss from riki. a blushing mess, riki gazes upon you with triumph. his slick grin annoys you, but you love him anyway.
"why did you do that?" you huff, still a hot mess.
riki shrugs, "i dunno. just wanted to walk home with you."
"you know i'll always wait for you𑁋"
"sweetie, the moment i saw the sky turn dark i knew you were going to make a run for home and forget me," he says, laughing. "oh! by the way," he hands you... something wrapped neatly in a plastic bag.
"what's𑁋" you're at a lost of words. do you laugh? smile?
riki zips his bag close, squeezing rainwater out of his soaked bag straps. "just wear it, you're shivering."
opening the plastic bag, you gasp, realising its riki's favourite hoodie. fresh and cozy. you look up to riki smiling sweetly at you, his playful demeanor from earlier softening into the most loving expression you've ever seen on him. the kind that screams "i love you" in the most gentle of ways; the kind that tells you that you are riki's entire universe.
"wear it," he says, and grabs the plastic bag from your hands. "give me that, i'll throw it away𑁋or, you know, recycle it."
tears start brimming at your eyes. he was soaked in his school uniform, and he made sure to bring you his favourite hoodie safe and warm for you to wear.
in fact, it was part of riki's love dictionary. every single hoodie, sweater, and jacket he owns has never not been worn by you. no matter where𑁋in the study hall, in your classroom, in the library, his room, your room, the cafeteria𑁋riki would always make sure you're cozy and comfortable with his hoodies. even if it was freezing cold, like right now, he would always prioritise you. even if it meant him soaked in the rain, and you warm and cozy in his favourite hoodie.
"hey, baby, don't cry," his sweet, husky voice whispered. his arms pulled you into a hug.
"i don't deserve you, really," you say, crying into his chest.
"please don't say that, prettiest," riki replies, resting his chin on your shoulder. "you're my universe, and i could never ask for anything more."
"but you're all cold and... you'll get sick!" you protest, pouting.
riki pecks your pouting lips, and smiles. "hey, at least, you'll be the one taking care of me when i'm sick!"
you roll your eyes, giggling.
