Through the glass window, one could still clearly see the traces of rain.
The dense drizzle fell on Kim Ji-woo's tall body, and the occasional autumn wind blew across his face. There was no warmth of the spring breeze, no coolness of the summer breeze, only a slight chill that blew straight into Kim Ji-woo's heart. Yes, five minutes had passed. No one came over to hold an umbrella for Jin Jiyu. There were only the surprised and puzzled gazes of the passersby.
"Maybe I'm not as lucky as that little girl.”Kim Ji-woo thought silently in his heart. At this moment, Granny Rain seemed to like to join in the fun even more, and the rain became even more lively. Kim Ji-woo raised his head slightly and looked at the grayish-white sky. He felt a little lost, a little melancholy, and a little longing. He closed his eyes and let the rain slide freely on his face, from his eyebrows to his chin. With his eyes closed, a strange image appeared in Kim Ji-woo's mind: A girl with light footsteps holding an umbrella that was the same color as the blue sky gently came in front of him. She tiptoed slightly and the umbrella flew over his head. The two of them were under the same umbrella. The girl had a sunny smile and looked at him with a charming smile.
Suddenly, the rain stopped, but the sound of rain could still be heard. Kim Ji-woo's first reaction was," Someone was holding an umbrella for him. He was eager to open his eyes to see who it was, but a trace of uneasiness quietly appeared in his heart. However, hesitation was not Jin Jiyu's specialty. He still chose to open his eyes as soon as possible to see who this person was.
Jin Jiyu, who had just opened his eyes, was shocked by the familiar face that seemed to have been magnified several times. It was too unexpected.
"What? Why are you here?"
"And me." Kim Ji-woo's shoulder was patted from behind. It was Han Yubin.
"Why didn't the two of you stay in the house? Why did you run out?”Kim Ji-woo said in an angry tone.
"You stood in the rain on the street. Can we just sit in the house?”
"Yeah, what if you catch a cold?”Li Huiyuan looked very concerned.
"It's none of your business. Go back quickly. I'm fine.”
"But ten minutes have already passed, and no one has held an umbrella for you. Our bet is over. You have already lost, so you have to listen to us.。”Han Yubin held Kim Ji-woo's arm tightly, planning to drag him back.
"Give me another ten minutes. After ten minutes, no matter what the result is, I will go back.”Kim Ji-woo broke free from Han Yubin's grip and said firmly.
Knowing that it was difficult to change Kim Ji-woo's decision, the two of them had no choice but to make concessions.
The rain was still falling, the wind was still blowing, and Kim Ji-woo's figure, drenched in the rain, was still standing on the street.
The people in the rain were all moving on their own tracks, and very few people noticed Kim Ji-woo, who was not a fool.
Kim Ji-woo prayed silently in his heart.
"Are you alright?" After an unknown period of time, a gentle voice came from behind Kim Ji-woo. It did not sound like Hye-won's voice, nor did it sound like the voice of any girl he knew. However, there was a sense of familiarity behind the gentleness, an indescribable sense of familiarity.
Kim Ji-woo raised his head slightly. It was the same blue as the sky that he had thought of when he closed his eyes. His heart was suddenly touched. Could it be that his fantasy had come true? Would there be a girl with light footsteps and a sunny smile behind him?
" Yes, I'm…alright…" Kim Ji-woo's voice trembled as he said this. It was the result of Qiu Yu and Qiu Feng's joint efforts. As he spoke, he made a beautiful 180-degree turn.
"Ah ~~" Perhaps it was because Kim Ji-woo's turn was too unexpected that she, who was very close to Kim Ji-woo, was not prepared at all, or perhaps it was for some other reason, the girl was like a seesaw that had lost its center of gravity and fell heavily to the side.
"Be careful!" Kim Ji-woo made a decisive judgment and reached out his hand at lightning speed. Before she could kiss Mother Earth, he grabbed her tightly and pulled her towards him. The girl was still like a seesaw that had yet to find its center of gravity and fell heavily into Kim Ji-woo's arms.
If there was a close-up of this scene, it would be a very romantic scene of a prince saving a princess in distress.
The girl was in Jin Jiyu's arms, and Jin Jiyu could clearly smell the unknown fragrance floating from her hair.
Silence, silence, and silence. It was the silence between the two of them. The air seemed to have frozen for a short time, frozen in the unknown feelings between the two of them.
One second passed, two seconds passed, three seconds passed, until seven seconds later, the two of them finally " woke up " from their respective worlds. Like a princess who had slept for a thousand years and was at a loss after being woken up by the prince who had saved her, both of them looked a little awkward. Kim Jiwoo awkwardly wiped the rainwater that fell on his face, while the girl used her hands to tidy her messy long hair. The blue butterfly hairpin was shining in her hair.
"You…"
"You…"
"Are you alright?"
"Are you alright?" After a short pause, the two of them said the same thing almost at the same time. It was reasonable and unexpected. They felt like old friends who had not seen each other for a long time. Their tacit understanding was self-evident.
"I'm fine."
"I'm fine."
The two of them said it in unison again. There was no longer the previous awkwardness and awkwardness. Instead, there was a knowing smile on their faces. Kim Ji-woo looked at the girl who was smiling. Her shy smile had the taste of sunshine, charm, and a hint of not being disturbed.
"May I ask you a question?”Jin Jiyu asked.
"Yes, of course." The girl nodded slightly, and the blue butterfly hairpin trembled slightly as if it was flapping its wings to prepare for flight.
"Do you have a boyfriend?"
"Ah?" His face was filled with surprise.
" It's like this. Today is a special rainy day for me." Kim Ji-woo told the girl everything and waited for her answer.
After hearing this, the girl's face no longer had the smile from before. Instead, she showed a depressed expression.
"My words were too abrupt and made her feel that it was too sudden.”Kim Ji-woo silently speculated in his heart.
"What if, I mean what if, what if I don't meet any of these conditions?”The girl looked at Kim Ji-woo with a complicated expression.
"I don't quite understand what you mean. Can you explain?”Kim Ji-woo, who was full of doubts, really didn't know what she meant.
"It's nothing." Kim Ji-woo, who had been waiting for the answer, had been waiting for these three words.
"Just now, I saw you fighting with another boy. There was a girl standing beside you. The girl seemed to be begging you for something. A moment later, I saw the girl leave with the boy. I thought that the girl was your girlfriend. I thought that you had broken up. Seeing you standing alone in the rain, I thought that you must be very sad, so I walked over to comfort you. I didn't expect things to turn out like this.”
"You're talking about my two best friends. They couldn't bear to see me in the rain, so they wanted to pull me back. Since you already know about it, can you consider it?”Jin Jiyu asked tentatively.
"Of course, you don't have to answer me first. Think about it first.”Kim Ji-woo quickly added.
"There's no need to think about it. I can answer you right now. I'm just a passerby.”
"Why? Can you give me a reason? Do you have a boyfriend, or do you not approve of the way I met you, or is there some other reason?”
"Alright, let me ask you a question. Can you let an imperfect girl be your girlfriend and take care of her for the rest of her life?”
He was speechless. He was speechless.
Kim Ji-woo sized her up with a doubtful gaze---the girl in front of him didn't find anything unusual.
"If I really love her, I will still love her no matter what she is like. I will still take care of her.”
"Then do you love me?"
"I…"
"I'm an imperfect girl. My right leg is inconvenient. I can't run, jump, or make friends with many sports. I even have a crooked foot when I walk. Just now, I almost fell because I was exhausted.”Her expression was relaxed as she said this. Kim Ji-woo, on the other hand, was listening to a story or a piece of news. There was only silence in Jin Jiyu's world.
"You don't love me. You just want to fulfill your bet. You want to give yourself an explanation and give your friends an explanation. If it wasn't me who held the umbrella for you today, but someone else or another girl, you would have done the same. You'd better wait for the next person to hold an umbrella for you.”After saying that, she slowly took back the umbrella that she had been holding for Kim Ji-woo and staggered past him. Jin Jiyu wanted to turn around and reach out his hand to stop her from leaving, but his feet seemed to be fixed by something and he couldn't move at all. The hand that he wanted to reach out was also suspended in midair.
In the rain, one could clearly see a girl with a blue bow hairpin walking carefully in the rain under the sky blue umbrella.
"I'll come back here in seven days. If you've thought it through, I'll give you my answer.”At the corner, the girl shouted at Kim Ji-woo's back. The drizzle in the area heard her and became a sacred witness to their invisible agreement.
"That girl is so special. What happened to her legs?”
"Does she have a boyfriend? Will you let her be your girlfriend?"
"What's her name?"
"Did you leave her address?
At some point, Han Youbin and Li Huiyuan had charged over and asked non-stop questions. The saliva they spat out was almost as heavy as the rain falling from the sky.
At this moment, there was only silence in Jin Jiyu's world. He didn't want to speak or give any answers. He didn't know her name, didn't know her address, and didn't know if she would be his future girlfriend. He only knew that she was very special and different from other girls.
Kim Ji-woo didn't reply to them. He just said," I'm going home first." Then, he walked straight ahead.
