UNISTAR : Invisible Moon [ENG Version]

Chapter 28 : The Air in the Rain

When I thought about this, I felt so ashamed. I gave him so much trouble, but he was still by my side.

"P'In..." When I saw him, I couldn't help crying even more.

I could only blame myself. I didn't want to cry in front of him, but I was just feeling so wretched.

P'In didn't say a word. He just came closer, standing next to me. We were both under the same umbrella now.

"P'In...I'm sorry." I couldn't think of any other word except sorry. And I didn't expect him to forgive me.

He didn't answer. He only pulled out an earphone, and put it in my ear.

I flinched a little.

"I'm not good at talking," P'In said. "So I want you to listen."

P'In was selecting a song on his cell phone. I couldn't understand what he was trying to do. He just wanted me to listen to a song?

I turned my focus to the song.

...I kept asking myself, where do I find happiness?[1]

A man walked past me,

He asked for an umbrella, but he already had one.

I was surprised, under the rainfall...

The song's smooth tone suited the rain.

...Then he asked if I want to feel happy,

Let's just fold the umbrella for a while.

And look up, feel the raindrop falling into your eyes.

Are you still wet? Or did the rain stop?

I unconsciously looked at the sky, the rain seemed to slowly cease.

...Upon the sky, nothing is certain if you look from here.

Sometimes it's dark, sometimes it's bright.

The rain could be a storm or simply a light breeze...

'That's true.' I thought.

Our life was like the sky, uncertain. Why did we have to worry so much?

...The happiness that you have been looking for,

It wasn't far away, just in front of you...

I let the melody soothe my tension, just like the sky that was starting to clear.

I looked at P'In. Then, another feeling was overflowing, replaced with sadness.

...Don't hold on, just let it go, then you will not be sad.

No one can avoid change as they grow.

Happiness is just the way you look at it...

The song implied that all happiness could be found anywhere. No matter what you were facing, just change your point of view and let it go so we wouldn't be unhappy because of it anymore.

Just like the rain. If we opened an umbrella to avoid getting wet, we might not want to fold it. However, once we folded the umbrella, perhaps, the rain wasn't as bad as we expected. Perhaps, the heavy rain that we thought was only a raindrop. Nothing more.

Even the problem I was currently facing was actually nothing more than thoughtless criticism from people who didn't even know me. Nothing more.

"Rain stopped," P'In said, folding the umbrella.

I looked up at the sky. The sky after the rain was so blue and beautiful. The rain left a refreshing sensation on the surrounding trees. The slight water drops sounded so calming.
