Saved by the Rain

Rain, rain go away. hehehe.. I honestly love the rain but sometimes I just wanna stay at home and watch my fave K-series with a warm cup of coffee in hand. Or just staying in bed reading chic lit. But as always I need to go to work. hehehe. Anyway, the title was provided by a friend. I cant seem to fix my blog's set up and I'm so fed up so I'll just post this as is. Sorry and  I hope you'll enjoy reading. Comments will be highly appreciated. 


***************************************************************************


It’s been raining in Seoul for the past couple of days. It’s the kind of weather where you just want to stay at home and curl up in bed all day. Good thing, Hwangbo had no schedule for the day. It’s almost 11am and she’s still rolling in her bed when her phone rang. She can’t help but smile when she read the caller’s name. . It was her “Shillang”.
“Hello, good morning Shillang” she answered in a very sweet voice.
“Good morning babe. Just woke up? ” he asked
“Yeah.  Where are you? Are you still on training?”  Hwangbo asked this time.
“Yes. But I think we’ll finish this early due to the rain. I miss you Buin.  I wish to see you today. Do you have schedule? “Hyunjoong inquired.
“I don’t have one but I’m planning to meet up with some friends later this afternoon. I’m just not sure if this will push thru since its still raining”. she answered.
“Oh okay. Well just in case you’re going out be sure to bundle up. It’s really cold outside. Drive carefully too. “ he added.
“I will Shillang. Be sure to eat and go home early if possible.  I’ll try to visit you soon. I love you baby” Hwangbo ended.
“I love you too, Buin. I’ll hang up now. We’re about to start with the practice.” bid her boyfriend.
After the call, Hwangbo get out of the bed. She leisurely took a bath  and ate her lunch while watching the falling rain.  She was dressing up when a thought crossed her mind.  She immediately grabbed her phone and send messages. After about ten minutes, a reply came and then she rushed out of her house.
Her message: Unnie, Im sorry but can we cancel today's meet up? I just need to do something.
Eunee: Hwangbo, you dont need to lie. I know you're just meeting your boyfriend. I'll be the one to explain to the girl.

Hwangbo: thanks Unnie. I owe you.
Eunye: Aja Hwangbo! Enjoy!


She was planning to cook for him but since she's not sure what time he's coming home, she decided to just drop by at Shimsontang and asked for some food to bring. She'll just heat it up when her boyfriend arrives.  With two bags in hand, she drive carefully towards his Shillang's apartment.


Hwangbo arrived in Hyunjoong's place at around five in the afternoon. After she dropped the bags in the kitchen, she tried calling him to check if he's already on his way home. After about five rings, her boyfriend answered the phone.


" Hey, baby, where are you?" Hyunjoong asked.

" I'm home. The girls cancelled the meet up. I will just rest and sleep early." Hwangbo answered wih a big smile on her face. Its not good lying to him but she knows he's gonna be happy with it.


" Ok, then. Just take a good rest. I'll be home in about ten minutes. I'll call you as soon as  I arrive." he replied.

" I'll wait for your call. Take care! Love you! " she said and hung up without waiting for his answer.


Hwangbo began preparing everything. She heat up the soup, prepared the side dish and ensure that everything's fine as soon as he arrived. She also changed her clothes and fix herself a bit.  She's just double checking everything when she heared her phone ring. 

" He's here" she whispered to herself and walk towards the living room. Her phone continues to ring. As soon as the door opens she answered the call and said to her very surprised boyfriend.


" Welcome home Shillang".


Hyunjoong was very surprised.  He didnt expect to see her waiting for him. He knows its been a busy week for the both of them and she really need to rest. Now, seeing her infront of him, smiling and welcoming him home took all his tiredness away. He walked towards her and envelope her in a tight embrace. She hugged him back and  give him a quick kiss on his lips.


" The food will turn cold Shillang. Im sorry I didnt have time to cook so I just bought them from Shimsontang" she shyly told him.


" But food can wait. Just give me one more kiss, please"  Hyunjoong asked while trying to pull her back towards him.


" Later, Shillang. Later. Come on, Im also starving" she answered


" More kisses? Hug?" he again asked her with a glimmer in his eyes.

" yes , yes and yes" she replied and laugh as she pushed him towards the dining hall.


The two reached the dining hall and Hyunjoong's mouth watered as he saw the food infront. He took a seat immediately and Hwangbo cant help but laughed at her boyfriend's antics. After about an hour the couple finished their dinner- in between stolen kisses and lots of  feeding and teasing each other. 
After they clean up the kitchen , the two decided to have a night cap. Hwangbo prepares hot coffe while Hyunjoong waits for her in the living room. He opens the TV and began flipping channels.
" Shillang, is it still raining outside" Hwangbo asked as she approached Hyunjoong with 2 cups of hot coffe in hand.
Hyunjoong meet her half way and took the cups from her. He placed it in the centre table and signalled his girlfriend to sit beside him. She immediately took the seat and it really comforted her how she fits perfectly at the his embrace. Hyunjoong reached for the fleece blanket on top of the sofa and draped it over them.
" Its really raining hard Buin. Are you still planning to leave tonight?" Hyunjoong asked and kissed her hair.
" I want to stay but I need to  be out early tomorrow" she replied and snuggled closer to him.
" I miss you so much, Hye Jung. I wanna be with you longer. Besides, I wont be able to sleep thinking that you're driving out there." he answered full of concern.


"Ok, let me just call Oppa so I can confirm the exact time for tomorrow's shoot.'


Hwangbo looked for her phone and try to call her manager. She tried calling him for about five times but he's not answering. She went back to the sofa and slumped down beside her boyfriend. Hyunjoong put his arms around her shoulder and just draped the quilt over them again.


" Oppa's not answering my call" she informed him with a big sigh. " I'll just call him up again tomorrow morning."


" So, are you going to sleep over ?" he asked with delight in his eyes.


" Just a little favor Shillang? " and pulled him closer to her.


" Call". he replied full of excitement even without knowing what she's gonna asked from him.


" You already said yes. Dont take it back?" and she laughed as Hyunjoong's expression suddenly change from excitement to a little unsure. He just nodded his head.


"  I just want you to drive me to the location tomorrow. That's the favor." and she smiled sweetly and kissed his cheeks.


" That's it? " He enquired. " You almost made me worried. I thought  you'd ask me for an aegyo"  and he pulled her with him.


"Are you that happy, huh, Shillang?" Hwangbo again asked.


" Very. Very happy Buin. Everything I need and want is here." Hyunjoong replied.


" Me too. I wish we can spend more times like this. Sometimes I miss you so much it feels like im going crazy" she honestly told him.


" I know how you feel, Buin. I also get frustrated with our situation but I know I have to be strong. Just remember that Im doing this all for you.  I love you baby" he answered back.


"  I love you too" and Hwangbo give him another kiss and then asked.

" So what are we going to do now".


" Nothing. Let's just stay like this, lets talk and cuddle. When were sleepy, we'll sleep like baby cats" he replied.


" They're called kittens , Hyunjoong not baby cats" Hye jung corrected him with a smile. " And dont forget you have to send me to location shoot tomorrow." she reminded him.


" A promise is a promise , Buin. Now, lets just enjoy this moment , ok?' and Hyunjoong just silenced her with a kiss.


So they stayed like that for a couple of hours. Talking about mundane things, laughing at each other's jokes and mostly just enjoying their time together.  After a while they decided to play cards but after several set, Hwangbo told Hyunjoong that she's already sleepy.  They picked up all the clutter in the living room and when everything's okay per Hwangbo's standard, the two headed to the bedroom.  Hyunjoong was so giddy and shouted " Sleepover"  to which she just replied with a laugh. And just as Hyunjoong predicted they sleep like baby cats- entangled with each other, peaceful in slumber.

The incessant ringing of Hyejung's phone woke him up. He reached for her phone so as not to wake her from deep sleep. He checked first the caller ID and when he saw that its from her manager, he immediately answered the phone. Its only around five o' clock in the morning.\

" Hello, hyung, This is Hyunjoong. Buin's still sleeping. What time would she need to be on the set." he sleepily asked.

" Ah, Hyunjoong. I just called to inform her that the shoot was cancelled. Didn't you check outside. Its still raining very hard". the manager replied and even just on the telephone Hyunjoong can sense that the manager was smiling while answering him.

"  Really, Hyung? Well good to know Hye Jung doesnt need to leave today. I will just let her sleep and rest here. Thank you for the early notice,Hyung." he again replied.

" No problem, Hyun joong.  Enjoy the rest of your day. " and the manager hung up.

Hyun Joong turn off Hyejung's phone as soon as the call ended. Since both of them don't need to go out today he turned off both their phones so they can sleep peacefully.  Before he lay down again, he checked on Hye jung. She is still oblivious to what's happening and Hyun joong can hear her even breathing. He picked up the blanket which is already on her feet and cover them both. He wrapped her arms around her, pulling her closer to him and smiled. Though its storming outside, he felt so warm inside. He's really happy that he can spend this day with her. Just the two of them. And before he closed his eyes he whispered in her ear


" Dream of me, Buin. I love you". and he went back to sleep with a smile.
