When it pours
I see the grass getting moist
The Birds getting drenched
The Sky getting dark
letting the clouds leave a mark.
The surroundings get bright
Our minds work up a light,
with a cup of coffee and a song
Refreshing your mind doesn't take that long.
Areum put down her pen and straightened her back. She stretched out her arms and broke out into a yawn. She wrote poems to vent out her stress and to relieve her mind of all the worries and problems she suffered during the day. Her family was quite well off with everything there was to comfort an average human being. she had a wonderful bungalow with huge balconies and a lavish garden in front of it. Her father was one of the biggest businessman in Seoul and her mother was the principal of the college she had enrolled in. Her father had Asthma however and they had to spend lots and lots of money to finally realize at the end that his condition could not get better but being stuck at the original position.
Areum took out her phone from her handbag and swiped it open to unlock it since she did not have a password for fear of forgetting it. She had hundreds of messages from their class group and a couple messages from her friend Rachel.
Rachel
Yo...Areum where have you been?
Areum
We met like two hours ago?
Rachel
Oops, sorry.
Hey have you heard of the new app launched?
Areum
What new app?
Rachel
The one that allows you to build your own best friend and the one who can help you see your past, present and future?
Areum
I don't believe in all that
Rachel
I didn't work for me tho but the description says it's only for people who have potential?
Areum
bruh...I am so sure it's a scam
Rachel
give it a try at least...you don't wanna be the last person who hasn't tried it out do you?
Areum
ya ok..ig
Rachel
ok bye, love you ❤️
Areum exited her messages and went over the texts from her friend once again. how come she is updated about everything happening in this world? Areum didn't know but she knew that she had to give this new app a try. She took her phone and went to the app store only to find it number 1 in the recommendations and also in the trending section.
Areum hit install as soon as possible not being possible for her to contain her curiosity and waited for it to download on her phone. Seconds later her mother called her down for lunch and she left her phone on her bed going down to satisfy her rumbling stomach.
Areum came back up to her room and sat down at her desk to complete the poem she had started. She stared right at the rain pouring outside her window with an emotionless face and ideas started coming into her brain.
No matter where the rain falls
satisfaction creeps up to your face
Seeing the Lush greenery around you,
makes you forget the craziness you chase
The sky flooded with clouds
The blazing sun is out of the way
The cool wind blowing through your hair
The cool breeze that makes you gay.
Areum gazed down at the paper with satisfaction in her eyes. the app was long forgotten and completely erased from her memory.
