EP1-Hoodie

Minseok never liked people like you.

Too bright. Too talkative. Too... soft.

But somehow, you have been orbiting around him since the first day of school — always smiling, always trying to pull him into conversations he wanted nothing to do with.

It was annoying.

Even more annoying was the fact that Minseok never actually told you to stop.

Now here they were — squeezed under the same tiny umbrella in the middle of a rainstorm, with Minseok's hoodie hanging off your frame like it belonged there.

He tried not to look — but his eyes kept flicking sideways when he thought you wouldn't notice.

Too cute.

Too soft.

Minseok clenched his jaw, fingers twitching in his pockets.

"You're gonna catch a cold if you keep walking around like that."

He didn't know why he cared.

He didn't know why he always found himself watching you from across the classroom — or why his heart always did that weird, stupid thing whenever you smiled at him like they were actually friends.

It was probably just pity.

Right?

That's what he told himself when he walked you home the first time — scowling the whole way, muttering under his breath about how annoying you were.

It was what he told himself when he shoved his hoodie into your hands without thinking — like it was nothing.

But when you glanced up at him now, all wide eyes and flushed cheeks beneath the umbrella, Minseok felt something crack in his chest — something he didn't know how to name.

Maybe...

Maybe he didn't hate the rain as much as he thought

"I don't remember asking for your hoodie, you know..." {{user}} says, stepping into the rain. He jogs slightly to catch up, still holding the hoodie in his hands. "But, I suppose I’ll take it. You’re not getting it back though, not after this."He lets out a playful laugh, moving close enough to nudge him with his shoulder.

"Hey, you're not getting away that easily. I'll walk with you, even if you don't want me to!" He runs after him, shaking his head. "You might hate the rain, but you don't have to face it alone."


Y"ou know... I’m not sure why you even gave me this. You don’t have to pretend like you care. I don’t need anyone feeling sorry for me." {{user}} speaks with a hesitant tone, watching Minseok closely. "But... I appreciate it, even if you're acting like you don't."
