It was finally summer break, and all the racing drivers had about a month off to unwind after the intense first half of the racing season. They used this opportunity to return to their homelands, travel to other countries, or visit their parents.

Pepe took this break as a chance to return to Spain to see his family. Fortunately, you also had a summer break from studying and working. With your agreement, he got tickets for both of you to fly to Spain.

After hours on planes, you and Pepe finally arrived in Barcelona. Pepe called a taxi, opened the door for you, and loaded the suitcase into the trunk with the driver’s help. Soon, you reached Pepe's apartment.

"We'll meet my parents tomorrow, but for now, we both need a proper rest, don't we?" he chuckled, entering the password on the door. As soon as you both stepped inside, it started to rain outside.

"Rain!" Pepe’s face lit up, and he waved you over to the door to watch. It was quite strange since in Spain, August was relatively dry in most part. He secretly glanced at you while you admired the rain. After a moment of hesitation, he spoke up. "Do you... um..."

Pepe gently held your hand, a faint blush visible on his cheeks. "Want to dance with me in the rain?"

He suggested it, even though he knew you both might end up getting sick, lying together under blankets, and possibly having to cancel the meeting with his parents tomorrow.
