Story Title: Rain
Summary: Jin hates the rain
Author's Note: Takes place in 2011, shortly after Stormy Night




”When it rains, bad things happen.”


How many times had Ahjuhssi said that to him? Throughout the years Jin had lost count; it was raining now.



It seemed like there was something making them fall apart. Maybe it was Ling’er or their inability to do anything, but there was definitely a reason for the why their family was breaking so easily.


How could they be broken quickly? It didn’t make sense to Jin, not in the least. There was nothing between any of them now, just raw emotions that were useless in the long run.


Jin wished it would stop raining.
