POV Yeji

Ryujin and I haven't shared a word since we left the dorms this morning, we only said "good morning" to each other. Last night was the same, I wasn't able to sleep, the image of Ryujin's half naked body over mine is driving me crazy, how she bites my neck and almost fuck me. If I wasn't shy to tell her, she was going to be my first time or that I'm in love with her. By now we could be together, but my ego is like hers, we are too stubborn to admit our mistakes. 

-"Yeji, are you listening?" -my manager made me return to the present. My members were laughing at me including Ryujin, she probably knows why I spaced out.

-"I'm sorry"

-"Did you sleep at all?" -I gazed at Ryujin who smirked without looking- "Anyways... like I was saying" -he carried on- "Today, we have a radio show and the MV recording. Please behave and enjoy it, ok?"

-"Yes!" -Yuna said full of energy.

We got out of the black van and a couple of paparazzi were taking our picture. We kept walking and waved to the fans, glanced at the crowd and I saw an Ryeji poster, making me smile discreetly.

Once inside the manager handed a sheet of paper with all the possible questions the interviewer would ask, we read a couple and left the paper to the side. Took a sip of coffee and prepared myself. I'm really fucking tired and I know for a fact the black bags under my eyes could be visible if it wasn't for the make up.

We finished getting ready and a staff member walked us to the room where the interview was going to be held. The seats were distributed the next way; me, Ryujin, Chaeryeong, Yuna and Lia. I put on the headset to listen to what the others were saying. The interview started at a low pace but after a couple of minutes it got more interesting, especially because of the fan questions. 

-"Now we are going to answer a couple of fan questions!!" -the interviewer said- "Are you ready?"

-"Yes" -we answered.

-"Let's start with Yuna. The fans want to know, how does it feel to graduate from high-school?"

-"It's amazing. Sometimes I miss it, but other times I'm glad that now I can spend all my energy in itzy and midzy"

-"I felt relief when I graduated" -the lady said and we laughed together- "Good... next question is for Chaeryeong, midzy wants to know more about your dance abilities. Do you practice in your free time? Do you dance to relieve stress?"

-"Yes! Dancing is really good to relieve stress, most of the time Yeji and Ryujin join when I'm at the practice room, we dance all kinds of songs" -she smiled like a kid.

-"We have lots of questions but your manager told me that there is only time for one more question, sooo... I'm going to ask Yeji"

I smiled at her, wishing the question wasn't too revealing or something like that.

-"How do you feel about the ships in itzy? According to my notes lots of fans love... Ryeji" -she sounds unsure. Kind of like she regrets asking it- "This ship is between?"

-"Between Ryujin and Yeji" -Lia answered.

-"Right, sorry" -she smiled- "How do you feel about it?"

-"Well..." -I looked at Ryujin remembering last night- "We are aware that ships exist in every group, just like in blackpink, bts, gidle. I think it's ok... if the fandom respects our privacy"

-"That's a really good answer! If respect exists everything is on good terms, right?" -we all nodded. The interview was ending- "Thank you much to Itzy for joining me today, I hope you have a great day and we are really excited for your future projects"

We left the building and before we got inside the van some people yelled something about Ryujin.

-"Ryujin!! Are you dating any of the boys of txt?"

I quickly glanced at them and got in the van. I looked at Ryujin and she was pissed. One of the things I know about her is that she hates being shipped with male idols. It makes fandoms fight each other and that's something we don't like. We want everyone to get along.

We arrived at set and our managers went out to buy some food. We were starving and being hungry does not help when we are about to shoot an intense choreography. Our manager arrived with iced coffee for all of us, caffeine was going to give us energy for probably five or six hours of work.

Yuna and Lia were on the makeup chair, while the rest including me were getting our hair done, once the staff finished we changed places. The first ones to record are Lia, Chaeryeong and Yuna. I stayed at the makeup room looking at my phone, but after a couple of minutes noticed Ryujin wasn't inside.

I got out of the room and no one was inside the warehouse, apparently everybody was outside in the gardens shooting the other member's part, it was six in the afternoon, the sun was already setting. I decided to look for Ryujin, it can be our turn to record in any minute.

Things were getting boring and I wanted to talk, not about last night but about stupid things, just like the old days.

-"¡Ryujin!" -my voice echoed. Where is she?

Looked inside the camera room and she wasn't there. I walked past every room until I reached the last one but it was empty,  just scenography laying around. I did a 180° turn and felt something grab my waist pulling me inside  the empty room with strength.

The black mid length haired girl pinned me into the concrete wall, leaving inches in between us. The sound of her breathing is clear.

-"What are you doing?" -I said in surprise.

-"Don't you want this?" -Ryujin said with a raspy voice.

-"You are mad because of what people said about you dating someone, aren't you?" -I played with the collar of her top- "You want to prove something?" -I said knowing it will hurt her ego.

-"You noticed?"

-"I always notice Ryujin. I'm the leader, is my job to know everything the girls and you are feeling"

-"If you are the leader... Why don't you do something to make me feel better?"

She took one of my hands and slowly placed it in her leather jeans button. She wants to do something, right here, in a place where we can get caught and probably get called out. Our CEO never talked about relationships inside the company or about same gender relationships.

-"Ryujin... please don't tease" -I whisper in her lips.

-"Why?"

-"Because if I do it" -I gulped strongly- "I won't be able to stop" -we all know that's not the reason why I want to stop her.

-"Don't stop then"

Fuck. She is teasing again, I can't do it but my body tells me to act, due to her sassy behavior. Fuck it.

I placed my hand on her neck and applied pressure to it, grabbed the back of it with my other hand and kissed her aggressively. Making her moan, my lips shifted from the lips to the neck, kissing, licking and sucking.

There was a small wood table in the corner of the room. We made our way towards it and I lifted her body to make her sit, my waist was between her legs. Our bodies were touching each other's, the kiss intensified, she was trying to control her moans but couldn't do it.

The accessories that our stylist put on us were blocking my way so I grabbed and broke them, making the pieces fall to the ground. Ryujin did the same and now we have more places to kiss. She opened her mouth looking for air, but I didn't let her, my tongue snaked through her lips, while biting the bottom one. Never noticed when I unbuttoned the leather jeans, bringing them down a little, just enough for me to apply pressure in her core.

I removed her black long sleeve and threw it to the ground, not caring about where it landed. With my hand massaged one of her breasts and the other one focused on her hard niple.

-"Fuck Y-Yeji" -she kissed my neck- "Don't stop" -said almost without air.

One of my hands moved to her thighs, close enough to the core. With my fingers started touching the black panties, her wetness made me hornier than ever. Move the fabric to the side and massage her clit. with two of my fingers doing circular motions.

-"Yeji- ahhh- j-just fuck me already" -I love her despair.

-"No" -I stopped and smirked- "This is my revenge...for leaving me horny last night"

-"Are we really going to play this game?"

-"You started it" -quickly kissed her and left the room.

From afar we could hear our managers screaming our names, they were looking for us, it was our turn to record. Ryujin and I were going to record some scenes together. We took our places and I noticed how Ryujin was still fixing her clothes, she looked at me and rolled her eyes.

-"Please sit on the red velvet couch" -the director ordered.

The stylists fixed our makeup- "What happened to your accessories?" -we smiled a little and ignored her words- "Never mind, just put them in new accessories" -said to the staff.

"Ok girls. For this part you are going to act a little flirty to each other, understood?"

-"Yes" -Ryujin answered- "Our specialty" -she whispered in my ear.

The music played and we started acting, thankfully we had classes before our debut. Ryujin flirted more than I was expecting, it looked like she didn't care that I left her hanging in her own pervert thoughts a couple of seconds ago.

She was playing with me so I decided to do the same. I wasn't going to lose this round against her, the atmosphere got hotter by every second.

I looked at the camera and noticed how the staff were talking to each other, probably about our behavior. We needed to stop but my mind told me not to. We kept "acting" until the director talked.

-"Uhmmm.... girls" -we ignored, keeping our concentration in each other's eyes and lips- "Girls, that's too much...girls???? Cut! Cut!!"

The music stopped and we returned to the real world, the main manager requested to talk with us, in the meantime Yuna recorded her solo part.

-"What was that?" -he is angry.

-"Acting" -Ryujin answered with power, she doesn't care. She is the bad girl.

-"You were too flirty, is something going on between you two?"

-"No" -I said dryly.

-"It better be true. We don't tolerated this type of behaviors"

We returned and kept filming the music video. The new album is going to be released before we start our new world tour next month. Practice was going to be more intense, if our schedule was already packed, now it's certain that we won't be able to sleep even five minutes.
