"we're going where?!" yuna exclaimed.
the 'couple' were currently seated in front of the producer, and they were just informed that they will go on a trip or so called 'honeymoon'. "yes. we're going to jeju in a week. arrive in the airport at 5am sharp next thursday." the producer explained.
"what?! hold on- you're joking right?" kai exclaimed. "how about my album promotions?" he continued, eyes pleading for an answer.
"we've talked to your company about that, and the album release will be delayed until you get back." the producer replied nonchalantly. "now, i need to go. you both are free to go home." the producer continued before getting up and leaving.
after the manager was no longer in sight, both kai and yuna scoffed in disbelief. "wow. the audacity he has to just leave like that is unreal." yuna scoffed, biting her tongue in frustration.
"for real." kai said with an eye-roll. but his annoyed expression suddenly did a 180° turn and a bright smile crept on his face, "wait so, we're actually going?" the male asked quite enthusiastically.
"well yeah. no shit, sherlock. did you not hear what he said?" yuna sighed, quite confused with his ofd behavior.
"geez, chill. don't get too feisty." kai said, looking away from yuna before packing his things. "ok boomer. but for your information, i'm supposed to be spending my thursday with the members but this fucking show just had to ruin everything." yuna groaned.
"are you sure about that? or are you doing teenage rebellious things?" kai eyed her suspiciously which made yuna's heart race. she can't expose herself now, can she? seeing the girl's horrified expression, kai laughed, "don't worry me too." he said.
"i-i never do that!!" yuna denied, her ears turning a shade of red. noticing this fact, kai laughed again, "you're a terrible liar," he said which earned a groan from the latter. "anyway, i'mma head home. goodbye~" he singsonged before skipping out the door making yuna scoff.
"i'm back." yuna called out lazily as she entered the dormitory to which her members who were watching tv in the living room approached her almost immediately. "how's your day?" ryujin asked.
"haha guess who's leaving to jeju next thursday." yuna said sarcastically with an eye-roll.
"isn't that great, though?" chaeryeong asked. "don't you always say we're totally embarrassing eonnies and that you want to leave?" she continued, eyeing yuna in the process. "that was a joke!!" yuna whined in a frustrated manner.
"but for real though. i fucking hate this! i'm gonna have to miss all of my sneaking out— i-i mean-"
the four other girls looked shocked, "your what!?" they yelled in unison which made yuna absolutely regret all her life decisions. at that moment, she wanted the floor to swallow her whole and never vomit her out.
putting the pieces together, yeji gasped as if she had made a very big discovery— which isn't technically a lie. "that's why manager-nim forced you to go on that tv show, isn't it? as a punishment cause you've been sneaking out doing god knows what!" she exclaimed, pointing an accusing finger to yuna.
"i-"
"jisu-ya! why didn't you notice? you're her fucking roommate!! were you texting your boyfriend or something?" yeji exclaimed, changing her pointing direction to lia instead. the said girl had a look of horror on her face. realizing what she just did (spoiling lia's secret), yeji covered her mouth immediately
"you children heard nothing!! nothing, i tell you!!" she quickly said before pointing back at yuna. "a-anyway!! what have you been doing?" the leader asked, changing the boyfriend topic. "nothing much i just-" before continuing, yuna let out a large sigh.
"as you guys probably already know, i got scouted at a pretty young age. at the time i had no idea what the consequences and sacrifices are to be who i am now— don't get me wrong, i love it here, i really do. but.." yuna took a deep breath before continuing to explain.
"i sacrificed my childhood, my friends, and basically my life for training. children that age should be playing with friends, going to school, you know- all the basic child necessities." she said, tears starting to flow down her cheeks now.
"but because of trainee life, i don't have time for any of that. now that we've debuted, i figured i'd fulfill my teenage years before it's over just like my childhood. i'm becoming an adult very very soon, and i can't afford to loose my teenage years too." yuna finished before muttering the last sentence.
"i just want to have fun- as a normal human being- not some puppet enslaved for people's entertainments." she said, emphasizing the last sentence.
"oh, yuna..." ryujin sighed. "we understand, we really do. and honestly there is nothing wrong with wanting to do that.." ryujin said. "but you do know we are idols," lia said, placing her hands on top of yuna's, "there are sasaeng's everywhere. a normal, average, totally not suspicious bystander could possibly work for that dispatch snake!" lia exclaimed.
"being an idol is a very hard profession, yuna-ya. some people only see the bright side, but there's more than just a dark side in the kpop community. once dispatch exposes you, our reputation will be ruined, and we might possibly get fired and obviously get a massive amount of hate." lia finished, staring into the maknae's glossy eyes.
"i-i've never really thought that far, eonni. alright. i don't want to drag you guys down with me if i do get exposed..." the youngest sniffled.
sighibg, chaeryeong rubbed yuna's back soothingly, "hey hey, don't cry. itzy will forever be itzy. itzy is five— itzy is not itzy without you, and nothing could change that, yuns." she comforted.
after staying in chaeryeong's embrace for a couple moments, yuna wiped her tears away before saying with full determination,
"if being on we got married could stop that dispatch snake from ruining any of our careers, then so be it."
