man in the rain ...just like in the music video..
And what was he doing standing there?
Looking over, I questioned myself in my heart.
Probably heartbroken. Sigh! If a man is heartbroken and stands in the rain Call for attention ...I don't care.
Or losing your job...hmmm in this economic situation. This may be the cause.
But then again..unemployed and exposed to the rain makes you sick. ..How can I have money to take care of myself?
weak man
The man was still standing in front of the door of my bookstore.
Stand and let the raindrops soothe your body. Until the whole body is soaked.
I played and stood in front of the store from the pouring rain until the rain came down thickly. ...How can you not get wet?
I sat and stared at the back of my faded light blue shirt for a long time...
The images you see create a lonely, sad atmosphere like in music videos.
Finally ..conscience in the heart It made me move. Get out from behind the cash counter.
Walked over and opened the glass door. ..Then he opened his mouth and asked.
You can come into the shop to escape the rain first.
Well..not better. I don't want to make your shop wet..
Please come in. You're wet all over. You'll be sick soon. So I can't go to work?
Please give me some drops. ...I want to know if I lost my job or if I was heartbroken.
But he didn't say anything. ...Just walk behind him and stand still. next to the counter
However, his eyes continued to look outside the shop.
I went to turn off the air conditioner. ..then come back and sit behind the counter as usual ...
It's raining this heavily. ..no need to use air conditioner anymore
I want to find a cloth to wipe my face and body...but there isn't any..
Did you make an appointment with someone at this shop?
Yes ..I made an appointment with a friend ..here.
So why don't you come and wait in the store?
Coincidentally, I'm not very fond of books. ...So I don't want him standing around in the shop.
It's over..like this, there's no need to talk anymore.
You can sit and wait on that side first, I said, pointing to a cloth-cushioned chair. Close to the storefront glass...
He only averted his eyes to follow my hand. Then turned around and smiled a little.
Better not, or the chair cushion will get wet.
Oh my god, why is your smile so beautiful? What a bright smile
I looked into the wide, wide eyes of the woman in front of me. and want to laugh
I could see that she was shocked and impressed by my smile. Her strange expression looked cute.
But I can't smile much. You must continue to put on a somber face first. ...You'll lose your plan.
The little girl who owns the bookstore picks up her verbs and pretends to lower her head to read the book she left off...
She stopped inviting me to talk. What should I do?
Just now, I shouldn't have answered that. Not sick with books
That's crazy...so what should I find to talk about?
That crazy friend just suggested a way to get her to invite her into the shop.
It's raining like this. ...You go stand with a sad face and look blankly at the front of the store.
give one hundred ...if it rains and you get wet like a puppy falling into the water
She had to come out and invite him into the shop to take shelter from the rain.
Women...are soft-hearted with men's limp behavior..I'm sure.
Crazy friend...there are hard-hearted women out there.
I stood for nearly an hour. I'm afraid it will stop raining. Before coming into the store
So what should I do here? ...Think, think, think ...It's crazy cold. ..I can't think of anything.
I could only curse and shout in my heart.
Pretend to continue standing and looking out of the store. ...What is a good topic to talk about?
What time do you make an appointment with your friend? ...I think I'll close the shop early.
It's raining heavily like this. ...Probably no more customers.
It's 7 p.m...He said he would come pick me up from work in front of the bookstore.
I work in the next building. He doesn't want to circle the car to my work place. Afraid of meeting the old plaintiff
Oh, I still have a job and probably have a date with a male friend. ..Then it's not both heartbreak and unemployment.
When I answered like that She doesn't mind. ..but he didn't smile..
Let's just say, what a brave woman this woman is.
Dare to be in a store alone with a strange man.
But I want to see your smile ...a smile that lights up my world
Until I had to find a way to look at the smile up close like this.
As you can imagine, the way to make her smile is to let her go home on time.
Excuse me...can I borrow your phone?
I'm not sure if I brought my cell phone with me or not.
Please call and follow up. Where is the car stuck?
The young woman held back a smile. Then he looked up from his book. Move the phone on the counter in front of the young man.
Please come.
Muk asks for a phone number. I know right away. Please take the shop's number instead.
The man acted normal as he dialed a 10-digit phone number.
When talking with friends The tone that I heard so softly when we first talked
Changed to the point of being dizzy on the face and the back of the hand.
Never mind calling your own cell phone. ..Did I guess wrong?
Tok, where are you now?
Traffic jam...I just thought about it. Then you don't have to come.
Wait until you catch a cold and eat me. Well, go home. We'll meet again.
He hung up the phone and said thank you in a low voice.
I'm going back. Thank you for giving me shelter from the rain.
nevermind
She replied with a small smile.
The man in the rain had already left. The sky outside the shop was so dark that I didn't notice where he was walking.
I work around here..why don't I ever see this when I walk past the storefront?
Or is his personality too ordinary in my eyes?
Such a polite demeanor and beautiful smile. ...If you walk by next time I must remember
Please just walk past. I'll make him interested in the books in the store.
I stood and watched her close the shop across the street, making sure she got back safely.
Just like I had been waiting for her to close the shop like this. It's been a full month.
I just walked past her shop. Looking over, I saw her smiling at a customer. ..It's like she sent a smile through to me.
When she wanted me to befriend her by becoming her customer ..I probably wouldn't be able to handle it.
The book that I have ..there's already a lot. There were so many that I started to get bored with the book.
But if in the future I sit and read a book quietly next to her...the boredom probably won't get worse.
Ai Tok ..bring the car out to pick me up.
I'll take the phone number in your cell phone.
Hey, if you call my cell phone ...He can take it for a spin later. This joke is already outdated.
Well ..hurry up ..it's going to die of cold so I can go take a shower and get some rest.
I'm going to be sick soon. I won't be able to call and talk to the girl tomorrow.
You come quickly..don't worry. Someday I'll go show it off to a reunion party.
Come on, I said one day, one day.
The rain that used to fall heavily Reduce the strength level to just a drizzle.
I stand in the rain and smile. Looking at the closed bookstore door
while thinking of the knowing smile on the face of the shop owner
Someday..I will tell you.
I like you as much as I like the books in my bedroom.
Then I'll invite you to read together in our bedroom.
Someday, someday
