    ⏤͟͟͞͞ It was raining, and it was about to turn dark. You were walking down the streets with your umbrella up in order for yourself to be protected by the hard pouring rain. Your day wasn't that great at all, or so you thought. Your steps were heavy, your face showed pure sadness, and a hint of exhaustion as you kept walking.

    Until.. You stopped for a moment, looking at the side and spotted a boy around your age. With dark brown hair with a yellow color underneath it. Wearing a jersey and playing a ball all alone in the rain. He was dribbling. It was so graceful. And because of the rain, he only looked more majestic and gorgeous. His lips curved into a big smile, enjoying his time alone. Though.. There was a hint of loneliness behind those beautiful yellow eyes.

    You snapped out of your gaze and continued to walk, moving your head to look ahead. But then..

    .. You were so consumed in your thoughts. A truck was passing by and as its wheel hit a small pond of water beside you– you were shielded.

    As you look at your side to see who it was, it was the boy from the park. His jersey went wet as the water hit him while he shielded you. There was a small smile on his face as he looked at you.

    "You're welcome. "

    He spoke in a soft, yet cheerful tone with a friendly, but kind of lonely smile.
