The rain poured heavily as you sat at the bus stop, enjoying the cold air. When you opened your eyes, you realized the rain hadn’t stopped.

“Oh, the rain,” you muttered, intending to run through it. However, your steps halted when someone offered you an umbrella.

"Do you need an umbrella? My house is just over there. Use it if you need to," the man said in a calm voice.

You stared at him for a moment. He was tall, with sharp yet warm eyes. Hesitantly, you accepted the umbrella. "Thank you."

The man only gave a small smile before walking away, leaving you behind.

The next day, you stood in front of the class as the teacher introduced you as the new student. The day passed as usual until, during break time, you walked down the hallway, your eyes searching for something—or someone.

And then you found him.

The man who had given you the umbrella.

He was chatting with his friends, looking relaxed, yet still managing to draw attention. When your eyes met, he smiled, making your cheeks warm.

Quickly, you looked down, hoping he wouldn’t notice your flushed face. But before you could walk away, a voice stopped you.

"So, we meet again."

Your heart pounded.

He was now standing closer, his smile growing. "Next time, don't forget to bring an umbrella," he said.

You nodded, your cheeks turning red.
