That Night It Rained | Yuta

34 | Yuta and Jina

When Yuta had entered the house that evening, seeing his condition, nobody had asked him anything about what happened with Jina. They just hugged him tightly and let him cry. This was not the time to ask him questions and make him relive the events, this was the time to comfort him. Taeyong made his favourite food that night and tucked him in bed. Since that night they all took turns sleeping in his room with him. Somebody was always there with him to keep him company.

After two days, when he finally told the members what had happened, they could share his pain. When Mark pointed out that Yuta should still tell Jina and Min-hyuk about who is the soulmate, Yuta told everyone to let them be and that if they have found a way to be with each other and want to be together, it is no good messing up their lives. Since nobody else except them and Kyung-mi knew about Yuta being Jina's soulmate, he made the members promise to not tell anybody and let Jina and Min-hyuk live peacefully.

Johnny and Haechan took care of the situation with Kyung-mi. She had stopped coming to the house after that day but she was still their interim manager. Johnny and Haechan met with her at the company building. They asked her to keep her mouth shut and resign from the company silently without creating any more ruckus and to never return to be anywhere near them. When she had protested, they told her that would have no qualms in sharing the details of her extremely unprofessional behaviour with the world which would not only tarnish her reputation, but will also ensure that she gets a job nowhere else. Within the following week, Kyung-mi had handed in her resignation at the company.

Since Min-hyuk was still on a break, the company assigned the members one of the existing managers till Min-hyuk returns, which was only a fortnight away.

Today was the day when Min-hyuk would complete his month-long break. He had to resume his position as the manager of NCT127 from tomorrow. Given his month-long absence and to remove any awkwardness that might have settled in following the events in this past month, he found it best to meet everyone first in an informal setting. He organised a small dinner at a cosy restaurant for everyone.

Jina had moved out of Min-hyuk's house last week. The 6 months contract had ended and they were no longer required to live together. After getting a bonus from the publisher and going apartment hunting with Min-hyuk, she found herself a space that she liked, bigger than the apartment she had before she had moved in with the members.

Min-hyuk had called Jina to come as well to meet everyone at dinner to which Jina had given an uncertain answer. She was unsure if she should go or not. Min-hyuk did not try to convince her any further knowing her feelings towards Yuta and realizing that she might feel uncomfortable seeing him after knowing about his relationship with Kyung-mi.

Min-hyuk reached the restaurant earlier than everyone else to ensure proper arrangements. He was standing outside the building when a taxi stopped in front of him and Jina hopped out of it.

'You came.' Min-hyuk had a soft smile on his face.

'Yes, I thought why not,' Jina shrugged. 'Have the others not come yet?'

'No not yet.'

Jina looked around nervously and asked, 'Is he...'

Jina didn't have to finish the question. Min-hyuk knew who Jina was asking about. 'I don't know. I called all of them. Let's see if he turns up.'

Min-hyuk and Jina went inside the restaurant and sat themselves at the table Min-hyuk had reserved. It was not long when a large group of people could be heard coming from the doorway and Jina instantly recognized that it was them when Haechan screeched, 'You guys always take so much time to get ready.' And one by one Jina saw each of them enter through the door.
