But I'm okay {Stray Kids Spanking Story}

When it Rains, it Pours {I.N}

// Third POV //

I.N tried not to stare at Hyunjin.

His hyung's black hair flowed through the summer wind, sweat painting his forehead. He was wearing a pastel lavender shirt with darker purple pants. The outfit matched perfectly.

The guys often pester and tease their tall brother about how flawless his visuals are, but Jeongin didn't think words could describe how handsome the dancer was.

He preferred his hyung's black locks to his usually blond mullet. It complimented his eyes more than anything.

Hyunjin was sleeping while getting his makeup done, something he always did.

"Do you think he's happy?" Lee Know asked his leader.

Chris's smile reached his eyes. "He seems to be."

"I cannot believe he's finally back." Changbin shook his head lovingly. "Our Hyunjinnie is back for real this time. He can be shown on camera."

"Stop, Changbin, you'll make me cry." Bang Chan's voice hedged, water spreading across his whimsical eyes .

I.N found it amusing watching his hyungs simp over the main dancer. Hyunjin hasn't been gone, technically, he still stayed in the dorm and shared a room with the maknae, Jisung, and Minho. But there was a sense of relief in all of the men, including I.N.

It was so painful to wake up in the middle of the night or come home at the crack of dawn and see his hyung out on the balcony of the four men's bedroom, his legs crossed and his head on his knees, sobbing to himself and the moon, careful not to wake the others.

It was a side of Hyunjin that the maknae has never seen before. Sure, he's seen the man cry before, but it was a new feeling. It was crying that I.N's never heard, pain that he's never felt.

Now, he was back. His precious hyung was now back for good.

Taking himself away from the scene, the youngest singer walked down the river bank and observed the storm clouds.

It was a marvelous picture. The sun was rising off the horizon, but over it sat three rows of dark grey clouds, luring over the atmosphere in a haunting manner. Jeongin was certain it was about to rain; across from the grass, a stylist seemed to have read I.N's mind in an instant because she went to her supervisor and advised they move the idols inside before it started to pour down rain.

The man nodded and the staff began to pack up to get ready to move in doors.

Their manager explained the sudden change to Chris and the leader took charge. He gathered all the kids, telling them to get their stuff and help the staff move everything. He smiled to himself before strolling to the still sleeping dancer. The leader bent down and put a soft hand on Hyunjin's shoulder:

"Hyunnie. We have to change locations, it's about to storm."

Hyunjin's eyes flickered before opening widely and beamed when he saw Chris.

He nodded, obeying the leader and helping the makeup and hair stylists take their products and brushes inside.

Changbin and Felix loved to show off to the noonas, picking up heavy boxes and assuring the women that they can handle it, despite Chris scolding them to not carry things all at once.

I.N talked with Jisung, the two were the first ones inside and helped the older staff members by setting up chairs neatly.

Luckily, rain didn't start pouring down until fifteen minutes after everyone was inside and already settled.
