"Last night was crazy!" Yuna said as she finished drying up her hair. "You literally partied with Brayden all night, you forgot about us!" Lia glared. I finished putting on my favorite hoodie and wore my nike shoes. "I still hang out with you guys back at the poolside! You guys even almost pushed me down the pool. I'd be embarrassed if you guys did, I saw Chaeryeong looking at our direction that time." Speaking of Chaeryeong, she must have told Ryujin by now. "I wonder if she told Ryujin about you." Lia chuckled before putting on lipstick. "I wouldn't doubt that. They are best friends after all." I said.
"She knows that you like Ryujin?" Yuna sat next to me and giggled. "Yeah, thanks to Choi Lia." I rolled my eyes but I heard them laugh. "Just confess already! You'll never know if she likes you back." Yuna giggled as she took a stuffed toy and hugged it tight. "Wouldn't it feel good when you can hug Ryujin just like this?" Yuna hugged the toy tighter and rolled around Lia's bed.
"Yeah It would feel great to cuddle Ryujin like this." Lia joined Yuna and cuddled her in bed. I took a pillow and spanked them all hard for teasing me. "Stop! Yeji!" Lia yelled as Yuna tried to crawl out of bed. "We'll stop teasing! Stop it!" They cried as I stop spanking them with a pillow. They catch their breaths while I laugh at them. I don't like it when they tease me too much.
"You've got plans today, Yeji?" Hyunjin asked as he place down a cup of coffee for me. "Mom and Dad wants us to have a tour at their new building." I shake my head. Events like that makes me suffocate, their business partners are so plastic specially their kids. "I don't want to come. I have plans with Lia and Yuna today." He furrows his eyebrows and took a sip on his coffee. "They told me they have other plans." He could have told me to come and not ask me if I have plans. "I really didn't want to go. I'll just go to the library and study." I took a small sip at the hot coffee he gave me. "Cool, then I don't have to go too." He chuckled. We literally share the same brain cell, We both like the same stuff and hate the same shit.
"Do you want me to drop you off? Or Do you want to borrow my car?" We walk out from the café. "What would you use if I chose to borrow your car?" He shrugged and smirked. "Just drop me off." He chuckled and ruffled my hair. "Thanks, you ruined my hair." He rolled his eyes and entered his car.
"Have fun studying, even though nothing is fun with that." He opened the car door for me. "I know. I just wanted to get out of family business." I chuckled. I looked around and saw no one but someone with a scooter parked a far from us. "I'll just hang out with Felix and Minho." He looked around until his eyes widened. "Shin Ryujin!" He yelled, my gaze quickly went to Ryujin who is waving at us. "You are friends with Ryujin?" He rolled his eyes and shrugged. "Of course! I had a rap battle with her." My jaw dropped, why is the world so small? "Hey, Hyunjin! Oh hey, Yeji! Didn't see you there." She went to us smiling, I couldn't help but to smile as well. Her smile could light up the whole town, I swear. "I was just dropping off my sister, are you going to study as well?" He ruffled her hair, she slapped his hand away and chuckled. "Nah, I was just finding a place to chill. I don't know where to go before band practice so I went here instead."
"Cool, you can accompany Yeji, right? Make sure she studies well or else we'll go to the most boring event by our parents." He opened his car door and ruffled my hair as well. "Sure! I'll look out for her." He went inside his car and drove away.
"You're really going to study this Sunday? Aren't you supposed to relax?" She asked. We walk through the cobble stoned path. "I really don't have plans to study." Why am I so awkward? I feel like I'm boring her. "I'm just finding a way to escape my parents." I hear her chuckle as she puts her hands in her pocket. "It's almost lunch time. Shall we eat out?" Going out with a band member that I really like is heaven, I could hear my heart pounding. Can she hear it too? "You okay?" She suddenly stopped walking. "You went silent for a minute." I'm usually not like this. "Sorry, lot of things going on in my head." She nodded and smiled. "Relax, Yeji. How about at junior's burger?" I nod and we walk to her scooter.
"Do you like Xmax?" She chuckled and hands me her helmet. "Where's your motorbike? Isn't that your favorite ride?" She raised an eyebrow and smirked. "How'd you know that was my favorite? Are you my stalker?" I felt heat suddenly rush to my face so I just put on the helmet so she won't see me blushing. "It's okay, Yeji. I'll pretend that I didn't see you blush." She giggles as she rode her bike. "Y-you are famous. Of course I would know." I sat behind her and I hesitated to hold on her shoulder or on her waist. "Hold on Yeji! I don't want you to fall." She then started the engine and made me flinch. I held on to her waist tightly, back hugging her. "Good, hold on tight." Although I can't see her face but I can sense her smirk.
The ride was great but Ryujin drives like a racer, I don't know if it's intentional to drive faster so I could hold on to her waist tightly, I must be assuming but If it's really her intention then she's smooth as hell. "I like to eat here, very few people only knew this place so It isn't always crowded." She said as she opens the door for me before entering the shop. "I like this place too. Their burgers are juicy and tasty."
"You actually look like someone who won't eat foods like this. I can picture you as someone who would only stick with salads." I cringe at that thought. I'm never like that! I like salads too but not as much as I like burgers. "I like eating both." We sat down by the table next to the big glass. "Same. But I prefer junk food more." She giggled while looking outside. "Junk food is everyone's favorite. Yuna is an example." She smiled and looked at me. "Yuna likes junk food as well? We should bring her here often." She giggled. I had a strange feeling about this, Is she interested with Yuna? "What else does Yuna like? I mean what kind of person Yuna is?" She places both of her arms at the table and waited for a response. "She is bubbly, smart and energetic. She is like a vitamin." She listened attentively and smiled while biting her lip. "Why did you ask? Do you like her?" I don't know what to feel though. Is my crush having a crush on my best friend? I'm sulky, I should have approached her first before Yuna does. I can't have my best friend as my rival. "Well, Yeah! She's cool." My bestfriend is my rival! No wait, Yuna like Brayden. Ryujin doesn't stand a chance hehe.
"Well that was embarrassing." We both laugh as we walk in their practice room. "Eating something gross and freaking out because of it in front of many people is as embarrassing as tripping on stage." She said. I remember seeing her trip and injuring her ankle in one show and everyone was afraid and worried for her. "We were worried for you though." She shrugged and looked around. "Looks like everyone is late." She chuckled and motioned me to sit first. "Do you want to hear our upcoming song? We've been preparing for a new single." She took out her phone and connected it to her airpods. "Sure! I'll be honored to be the first fan to hear it." We both chuckled as she puts a pod in my ear.
"That's so catchy! I can't wait for it to be released. Everyone will love it." She smiled brightly and dis connect her airpods. "Thanks! Are you coming to the meteor shower event this weekend?" She said as she slumped down the couch. "Of course. I'll watch you guys perform." She scratched her nape and chuckled. "You better be."
"What are you guys doing here alone?" Jiseob entered with a smirk. "Ya'll dating without letting us know? I thought there won't be any secrets, Ryujin?" This is awkward, he thinks me and Ryujin are dating now. "What are you talking about? I'm just showing Yeji our practice room." She facepalmed and took her electric guitar. "I thought you moved on from Nic-" A bag of chips suddenly flew to Jiseob's face. Ryujin looks at him sharply, almost like cursing him with her eyes.
"Hey guys! Hey Yeji! What are you doing here?" Bumjoon appeared with his drumsticks. "Why are you looking mad, Jinnie?" He said slumping down the metal chair. "They won't admit that they are dating." Jiseob chuckled and plugged his electric guitar on his amplifier. "You guys are dating already? I thought you guys were just chilling on junior's burger hours ago. I didn't know that was a date." Bumjoon giggled and crossed his arms. "Is that true, Yeji?" Before I can answer Ryujin sat next to me and ruffled my hair. "We aren't dating. But I don't mind if we do." She smirked.
I suddenly remembered Chaeryoung, what if she told Ryujin that I like her? Hell no, Ryujin might only be teasing me right now. "Just date already. Where's Junghyun? He's late." Ryujin snickered and stood up. "You are all late. We got here when the room is empty."
"That was the new song! Is it good?" Junghyun excitedly asked as they finished practicing their new song. "I'm sure everyone will love it. You are all very talented." I smiled. To be honest I couldn't focus at all specially when I met Ryujin's eyes, I melted.
"Hwang Yeji is here? What's up?" Chaeryeong entered with a box of star bucks on her hands. "Good thing I bought extra iced coffee." She placed down the box of coffee. The band quickly went to the table and grab their drinks while Chaeryeong stood back with me. "You're lucky I didn't tell Ryujin yet." She winked and giggled while looking at the band.
