Baekhyun picked up a small envelope before going to the front door and getting his shoes.

Not even bothering to untie the shoelaces, he put them on and went out the door, only just remembering to grab his jacket off of the doorknob before locking the door.

He went down the hallway, down four flights of stairs, and then made a left to the exit of the apartments.

It was a cold, rainy day.

And he didn't have an umbrella.

He put up his hood and shoved the envelope and his phone into the back pocket of his jacket, hoping that it wasn't raining enough to soak through the coat.

He was wrong.

It was a downpour.

The rain fell hard and strong, hitting pavement and exploding into puddles everywhere.

Baekhyun groaned as he trudged through muddy streets.

His shoes were already soaked through, and the bus stop was still blocks away.

It was going to be a long walk.

Two boys sat on a little bench in a park.

One was tall, wearing a hooded top with an umbrella in one hand and a Polaroid picture in the other.

The other was frail and fragile, with a thin physique and hair that was anything but neat.

It was raining.

But they stayed.

Their hoods were up, and one umbrella covered both of their heads.

When they met, they hugged and smiled and laughed before sitting down and putting up the umbrella.

Anyone walking by could have known that they were old friends.

Well, not quite old friends, but not new friends either.

The boy holding the Polaroid picture sat down first.

He held the photo so that both of them could be see it.

"Do you remember this?"

"Kind of. Wasn't it in the music room?"

The other boy held a white envelope with messy characters scribbled on the back of it. He pulled out a sheet of paper, folded in half twice.

"I bet you remember this."

He unfolded the paper and smiled.

"I read it once, and I stepped away from the edge. And when I read it the second time, I think I started crying. You made me rethink everything.You have no idea how much you changed me."

The other boy ran his finger over the paper.

"Can you imagine what would have happened if we hadn't met?"

"Is it bad if I can?"

"No," he said, "Because I can too."

"Let's go to a cafe or something," the other boy said, "It's getting cold, and the paper's getting wet."

They got up.

And they walked away.

One of the boys tucked the Polaroid picture into his back pocket.

This boy was Chanyeol.

And the boy with the crinkled, folded sheet of paper?

That was Baekhyun.
