After several days of clear skies, it suddenly started to rain.
Dubian Che woke up to the noisy sound of wind and rain, rubbed his bangs, and sweated a bit due to the stuffiness.
The low air pressure in the narrow rented room gave a faint feeling of chest tightness with each breath.
Dubian Che opened the window, and the strong wind instantly brought in the rainwater, quickly dampening the dry windowsill.
With a "snap," Dubian Che closed the window again before his clothes got wet and turned to pick up his cellphone from the table.
The time was 5:46 AM, and there was a text message from the Meteorological Agency.
"The strong typhoon No. 14 is moving northward from the East Sea, gradually shifting eastward. Early this morning Tokyo entered the range of the typhoon. Residents are advised to minimize outings, and working individuals must take care."
Dubian Che wondered whether typhoons deliberately opposed students.
