She's NCT's Everything

Meeting Yuta

It's been a few months since she met Johnny and Mark, and so far it's been okay for her. She's befriended some of the girls in her class, but other than that she just keeps to herself to practice with the occasional greet to the two boys. SM is still a bit strict with the boy-girl interactions.

Cyana was quite a unique trainee in the company; because she has so many talents, SM wants to make sure she 'looks after them', so they give her more tasks than a usual trainee - though it's a secret. If other trainees were to know, there would be a lot of jealousy. Besides, Cyana doesn't know whether she'd make it to debut or not.

Her special tasks consists of practicing her English, Korean, Japanese, and Chinese; practicing her musical instruments - the piano, mainly. She's even given small missions on making music. She has these lessons on top of her compulsory ones of dance/vocal/rap practices. She was exhausted.

One day as she was lazly drawling out Japanese sentences, a knock on the door interrupted her Language session. When the door opened it revealed an SM staff member, followed by a young boy around her age. She tilted her head at them curiously. "Cyana," the staff addressed. "This is Yuta from Japan -" Cyana perked up. "He needs some help with his Korean, so we're hoping the two of you spend time together."

"Okay," she nodded, giving Yuta a smile that he shyly returned, even though he was confused at what they were talking about. With that said, the SM staff left the two kids alone in the small study room. And so it became awkward. "You can sit with me," she motioned to the chair beside her. Slowly, he sat next to her.

"I have no idea why I am here," Yuta mumbled in Japanese, "That staff member didn't bother to use a translator and now I am randomly sitting next to a girl."

"They want us to practice Korean together," Cyana told the oblivious boy. Yuta yelped and almost fell out of his chair when Cyana responded to him in fluent Japanese. He gawked at her with wide eyes.

"Y-You can speak Japanese?" he stuttered.

"That's why they put us together," she clarified in a 'duh' tone. He looked away embarrassed. "I'm Lee Cyana" she introduced with a bow.

"I'm Nakamoto Yuta," Yuta bowed down to her formerly. "Please take care of me..."

"I will!" Cyana beamed. Then she spoke in Korean. "Let's practice your Korean!"

"Korean practice?" Yuta asked in broken Korean. Cyana nodded in confirmation. "Okay."

"What sayings do you know in Korean so far?"

"I am hungry," Yuta deadpanned. "Where is the toilet?"

"Okay, at least you have the most important things," Cyana giggled, making him smile.

And so, Cyana's extra classes were no longer a hassle for her, and it became enjoyable for her now that she had someone with her.

And for Yuta, he no longer felt alone in a foreign country now that he had Cyana with her who could speak his mother language.

As time went on, they began to open up to one another while helping each other practice Korean and Japanese - and eventually Cyana introduced Yuta to Johnny and Taeyong as well when she found out Yuta would be joining the two boys' classes. They even helped Yuta with his Korean when Cyana wasn't around.

Slowly, the family bond was being formed for the future group.
