Soulmates

Japan

Son Chaeyoung's POV

Are you sure this is the place, Unnie? " Yes. It looks like this is a private place..." Unnie said. I scan the place it's really a fancy restaurant and only a few people can be seen inside. "I guess they're not here yet. How about we'll have our dinner here?!" Unnie suggested. Sure. Let's eat first. An hour had passed, Unnie and I were done eating when a group of people come inside the restaurant. We saw Mina unnie's family together with Sana and Momo Unnie. I was about to approach them when I realized she's not with them so, I waited for her. Minutes later I saw Mina Unnie together with a man in suit holding hands together. My heart unknowingly aches to what I've witnessed. I brushed the idea of him as her boyfriend though by just looking at them I know there's something special about their relationship. "Ahm.. Chaeng.. are you okay? You look pale?" Unnie asked. I-I'm okay Unnie.. Maybe he's just Mina unnie's close relative or a FRIEND?!  I stood up and excused myself and went to the restroom. What should I do? What if he's Mina Unnie's boyfriend? Calm down Chaeyoung.. You should confess first then let's hear her answer.. That's what you planned.

While Chaeyoung contemplating to what she's gonna do two women around Mina's mom age went inside the restroom. She accidentally heard what they are talking and somehow understood.

Son Chaeyoung's POV

"They look good together... Mina's lucky to have a boyfriend like that. He's tall and handsome. He quite mature for his age, caring and sweet. He's successful and smart too." " Geez.. You're talking too much about the guy. Mina is a catch too. She's beautiful and smart. She's successful too. " As I heard them talk my heart sunk. My tears kept falling as I can't believe that the mixed signals I assumed love for me was all wrong. For the first time, I hated myself for misunderstanding the actions she showed that led me to uncontrollably love and adore her. All I can do is to clench my fist as my self anger reaching its peak. In my mind, I'm cursing myself of my stupidity. "Chaeng? Are you there?" I heard unnie as she knock the cubicle door where I locked myself. I tried my best to calm down and wipe the tears in my face. "Yes Unnie.. I'm here.. I'm almost done.. wait me outside.. let's go to the hotel.." I said.  "Oh! Yeah.. sure.. I'll wait outside." She said.

Manager Unnies POV

I was driving the car we rented when I realized that the excited girl I was with this morning is no longer with me. She's silent and I can see how red her eyes were since we left the restaurant. Somehow I know what's going on in her mind and heart right now. She looks broken. I can't help it to pity her when I myself didn't expect that our Mina had a boyfriend. I was wondering how long did she kept it secret to us especially to this broken cub beside me who she's closest with compared to the other girls. I don't know how to ask her about it nor how should I comfort her. I try to break the silence by tuning the radio. My eyes widen when the song playing in background is First love by Hikaru Utada. As I extend my hand to stop the song, I heard her whimpering..in pain?! Maybe.. she's her first love after all. My hand didn't reach what it supposed to reach instead I extended my hands to pat her head. "It's okay to cry. Just let it out. I'll be here. " That's the words came out from my mouth hoping that it will comfort her.

My day started when my phone suddenly rings. It's 5 in the morning. Who the.. wait.. It's Son Chaeyoung..

Hello.. Chaeng? Do you need something? "Unnie.. Ca-n you fetch me here at xxx hotel?" She asked. Sure.. wait! Why are you there?! Don't tell me you sneak out last night?! " Uhm.. Yeah.. I-I.." Let's talk later.. wait me there.. no I mean.. search for a nearest cafe.. and ensure that your face is covered!" I ended the call. I hurriedly wash my face and brush my teeth.  The hell is wrong with her. I hope nothing bad happened to her.

Son Chaeyoung's POV

Go to the nearest cafe.. ensure my face is covered. I look around the area and see a cafe. I went inside and sit down. The waitress ask for my order while waiting I observe  that my hands are still shaking to what I saw when I wake up. I fucked up. I can't remember anything from last night how the hell I was booked in an unknown hotel and together with an unknown girl who's  naked. I mean both of us are naked. I didn't see her face since her back facing me and all I can see she's having tattoos on her body. As I try to remember the possible series of events that occured last night, I was startled when I heard a beep coming from a familiar car. I hurriedly payed for my order and hop in the shotgun. As I look at Manager Unnies face, I saw a displeased look from hers. That's the second time I told myself I fucked up.

" Why are you there?!" She suddenly asked. I sneaked out last night and went in the bar. I said not looking at her. " You what?! The hell Son Chaeyoung?!" I got scared as she raised her voice. "What happened?!" She asked. Unnie.. I- I can't remember anything.. how..how..I was booked in the hotel. "What?!.. you.. you don't remember?!" I just nod still not looking at her. "Look at me!" I looked at her. "What did you saw when you wake up? " I don't know if I should tell her or not. I'm contemplating to tell her the truth. Should I tell her or should I kept it myself. "Chaeyoung! Tell me.. honestly.. what did you saw when you wake up?!" I saw a naked girl.. I saw her eyes wide open.. " then, you?" I'm also naked Unnie. I'm sorry.. I closed my eyes as I prepare myself from her anger. "Are you hurt somewhere?! Did she hurt you?! Hey.. answer me..  That's the response I didn't expect from her. I looked at her wearing a worried expression in her face.  " I'm.. I'm sore down here.."  I didn't look to her again. I felt something hit my heart when I realized it's my first time and it wasn't her.  
"Chaeng.. you.. never went in night clubs.. why you didn't ask me to accompany you?.. I'm sorry." I can't stop my tears falling as I realized I made another mistake. Mistakes that I don't know how to deal the consequences in the future.

Frustrated cries can be heard inside the car. Chaeyoung's manager don't know how the both of them will deal the situation. She wasn't sure if Chaeyoung was raped or not. "Unnie.. let's go home.. " The main rapper asked. "But, Chaeng.. we.. you.. about that.. we should report this.. " The worried manager says. "It's fine. It's my fault anyway.. Let's kept this for both of us. What happened here will stay here." Chaeyoung said as she suppress herself from crying. " But.. we.. should.. really.." The manager tries to come up with words. "I'm okay Unnie.. it's normal in my age.. I'm not a minor anymore so I need to deal with the consequences of my actions.. let's go home.. and leave what happened here.." The manager just sighs and nods telling that she will do what the latter asked her.
