Work Text:
After a long day, Ryujin and I decided to take the car and go away for the night. Somewhere far away, where all of our worries disappear and we can focus on ourselves.
We spent about 45 minutes driving, blasting music in the car with the windows rolled down, we didn’t care if anyone heard or saw us. As soon as we saw a nice spot, we decided to park the car and chill there.
It was beautiful, it was nothing but a grass field under a gorgeous starry sky. We laid down on the ground, popped on some slow music and started talking about nothing and everything, the good and the bad, everything we had in mind.
“Look it’s not my fault your taste in ice cream sucks ass!” Ryujin told me, laughing.
“Excuse me? Says the ones who likes Bubblegum flavour!” I say back, also laughing.
“Bubblegum IS good!! You just don’t recognize potential when you see it.” We’re practically screaming now, without a single care in the world of who might hear us.
Fuck I love her so much. I could never tell her, obviously. I wasn’t even sure if she liked girls, so all I could do was admire her from afar. The things I would do to kiss her right now, though. Just holding her hand would be enough. After a few minutes of silence,
“Hey uh. Yeji.”
I slightly jumped. “Shit, you scared me, what’s up?”
“I have something to tell you.” She sat up and told me, she looked pretty nervous so naturally, I was getting nervous too.
“Which is?” I said back, sitting up as well.
“Uhm so. You know how we’ve been like, really close?” She said.
“Uh huh.”
“And like, we’ve been hanging out a lot..”
“God just say it, you’re scaring me.” I chuckle, to make her feel more comfortable.
Silence. Until,
“I love you, Yeji. Romantically.”
Oh. OH.
“And I know that you probably don’t feel the same way, and I understand if you don’t. I just really felt like telling you because it’s been bugging me for years. I’ve had feelings for you since we debuted and I can’t keep pretending that I don-“
I put my lips on hers. Shit, I’ve been waiting to do this for so long. I had no idea she liked girls, hell, I had no idea she liked ME. My stomach was filled with butterflies right now, I didn’t know I could be this happy.
I pulled away, we looked at each other before I started smiling like an idiot, followed by HER smiling like an even bigger idiot.
“Did you honestly think I didn’t like you back?” I gently say, slowly putting her hair behind her ear.
“Look, in my defense, you were giving me mixed signals!!”
“Oh was I?” I playfully say.
“YEAH YOU WERE!” She starts laughing. She’s so pretty when she smiles. I could stare at her for hours.
“Can I kiss you again, Ryu?”
“Is that even a question?” She fell on me and we kissed once more, this time, it wasn’t just short and sweet, it was long and passionate. I can tell she’s been waiting to do this for so long. I put my hands on her waist and pulled her closer.
I push her away for a bit, “I love you so much Ryujin”
The little dork is smiling so hard that her cute dimples are showing, it’s kinda refreshing to see her like this. She has this tough exterior, but in reality, she’s the biggest softie I've ever met. I’m so glad that she feels comfortable enough to show me her real self.
After a few seconds of staring into each other’s eyes, she pulls me in again. She’s still grinning like a dumbass, by the WAY. She laughs into the kiss.
“Stop laughing like that! You’re ruining the kiss~” I tell her playfully.
“Oh shut up, let me have my moment..” She softly says before pulling me back in. We kissed again for another 5 minutes or so. After we decided it was enough smooching for now, she gently laid her head on my chest and asked me to play with her hair. We go back to talking about all sorts of things (mostly our cheesy feelings). We went from talking about our love for each other to different types of chocolates, and then back to love again.
“Have I told you how much I love you?” She says. I could listen to her talk for hours.
“Yes Ryujin, you’ve said it like 37 times now.” I respond, practically giggling like a schoolgirl.
“Hm. Let’s make it 38 then!” She tells me before kissing my neck. “I love you.”
“I love you too.” I kiss her forehead, to return the affection. I wish we could stay like this forever, in our own little world and away from everything else. Speaking of everything else..
“Should we tell the others?” I ask her.
“I mean, if you mean the other girls, I think it would be better to let them figure it out by themselves.” She smirks. “If you mean the staff though, absolutely not.”
“Yeah, you’re right. We would just get scolded about how ‘we’re not supposed to date’. ESPECIALLY if we’re both girls.”
“Right. Oh well, they don’t have to know. We’ll just have to act like the gal pals we were before all of this.~” She tells me.
“Mhm. As if you could control yourself while they’re around.” I tease her.
She scoffs, “You’re acting as if I haven’t been doing that for the past 6 years!”
“That’s different!”
“Real question is, can YOU control yourself around them?” She claps back.
“Of course I can! I just have to be mean to you again.~” I told her.
“NOO I don’t wanna live that again.~” She pouts. She needs to stop being this cute all the time.
“Fine fine.~” I cup her cheeks and give her a quick peck. “Do you think we should go back? It’s almost midnight and the girls will start getting ideas.”
“Not yet. I wanna stay like this for just a bit longer.”
“Knowing you, we’ll end up staying here for another hour.” I softly say.
“I wouldn’t complain.~”
