POV | Yeji

I left Ryujin. I got a cab and got out of there. What made her do that? I had no answers. There was no way I was gonna let her live in this house with how she's been acting.. so I kicked her out. As soon as she got home, I gave her stuff and... kicked her out.

Chaeryeong came in my room while I was reading a book because there was nothing else to do. "Hey.. I brought you another ice pack.." Chaeryeong came up the ladder and handed me some ice. "Thanks.." I offered a small smile, put the bookmark in the book, and set it down on my shelf. "So how have you been? You know... I'm really proud of you for kicking her out.. she's been acting so different lately.." I nodded, "Y-yeah.. I'm glad you noticed.. and I'm fine.. I think." Chaeryeong hugged me, "I'm sorry Yeji.. did she hurt you that bad?" I put the ice on where she smacked me, "I mean she raped me so.. I guess it hurt." Chaeryeong shook her head fast, "That's not how you treat the leader."

I scratched my head, "I know." Chaeryeong pulled out her phone, "Why don't... why don't we call her?" I put her phone down, "N-no... that doesn't sound-" I hit the button. "No going back now.." Chaeryeong slightly chuckled, and put the phone on speaker.

Ryujin picked up, "Chaer I'm not in the mood.. i-is it something important?" She sighed. "Well what are you doing?" Chaeryeong asked. "I'm getting.. tested." I blinked, wow.. she was actually trying. "For?" She asked. "Chaer I don't have the time-" I interrupted, "Answer the question Ryu."

There was a moment of silence. "Y-Yeji? Is that you?" I sighed, "Just answer it." Ryujin blurted out, "Ugh.. fine.. I have a mental disease.. that I need to take medication for alright?" I licked my lips, "Okay.. I uh.. I love you.." Ryujin asked, "Y-you love me? After what I just did to you.." Chaeryeong was rolling her eyes. She was probably mad. "Well.. I still love you and hope the best for you.." Ryujin sighed, "So when can I move back in?" I crossed my legs, "Until I see for myself that you've improved your behavior."

Ryujin hung up which left us two. "She's still a bitch Yeji. Don't do it." Chaeryeong put her phone in her back pocket, and left the room. I leaned against the wall, not knowing what to do.

POV | Ryujin

Two weeks passed. We took a break. None of us posted anything on our Instagram and hardly any content on any platform. Everyday I was learning about my disease and how I could control it. They said porn traumatized me. I'm laughing. Why did I watch so much porn man? That's not how you treat a girl. You know I just didn't know how the world worked yet.

I was now living with my older brother. Hangyeol. He's such a nice guy and he understands about what happened with Yeji. He's been pushing me to be better for her. So that's what I've been doing.

I was out buying some groceries for me and my brother because it'd probably be another week or so until I was ready to move back in. I went into the snack aisle, picking out the chocolate covered pretzels my brother loved, when someone's hand touched mine. I nervously looked down, pulling my hand away, "S-sorry.. I'll get the next box-" They lifted my chin, "R-Ryujin?" It was Yeji.

I bit my lip, "It's me.." I stepped away, grabbing the box, and putting in my cart. "I hardly even recognized you.. you hair's gotten lighter.." I stroked my hand through Yeji's, "Yours too.." Yeji flinched at my touch which made me blink and back away even more, "S-sorry.. uhm.. I didn't know you liked chocolate pretzels..?" Yeji blinked for a second, and put them in her cart, "Y-yeah.." I waited for what was next. "You want to.. go get a coffee?" Yeji asked. "I-I can't... sorry.." I looked into her eyes. I've always admired them.

"How come?" Yeji raised her eyebrow. "Stuff to do.." I placed another box of snacks in my cart. "Explain what stuff is.." I chuckled, "Yeji I'm not a dictionary.." Yeji sighed, "Look last time we were together.. things didn't go so well.. but I'd like to know what you've been up to.." I bit my lip, "Writing songs." Yeji eyes perked up, "Songs? You write songs?" I huffed, "What? I can't write songs? Yeji, I have a creative imagination that I love to share in a poetic way."

Yeji started to laugh, "You really are a dictionary.. since when did you describe things in detail?" I looked around, "Well I have been studying and taking some online classes so.. I guess I've been surrounded by the language of detail. Now.. I have to get going.." Yeji grabbed my hand, "Wait.. where are you going Ryu?" I grumbled, "Yeji, I have to go.. I can't tell you everything." Yeji furrowed her eyebrows, "I thought we were in a relationship.." I sighed, "Not anymore."

Yeji looked hurt. "B-but we can still try.." I started to walk off with the cart, and she quickly walked by the cart. "It's over Yeji." "R-Ryu.. please... please.." Yeji begged. You know I thought I'd be the one doing this. "I'm not ready Yeji. I can still hurt you and the others. Now I have to go.." I tried my best to get away from her, but somehow she showed up again.

I was putting the grocery bags in the back of my car when Yeji got in front of it and kissed me. She took me to the driver's door, continuing to make out with me. I put my hands around her waist, and then she pulled away. Yeji nuzzled her head into my sweatshirt, "I miss you Ryu. I want you back. Your pup needs you. I need my kisses at night, I need my cuddles, I need the pleasure you give me, I need your warmth and dominate feeling.. I need it all." I lifted her chin, "Look at me.." Yeji eyes focused on mine. "I am not ready.. I don't wanna hurt you.. I love you so much and never want to see you hurt by me again.. I'm surprised you're even asking for me to come back.. now I've said this multiple times but I really really have to get going.. I love you and it'll be okay baby.." I hugged her so tightly.

Then I pulled away, opening the driver's door. Yeji started to cry. I felt horrible. I kissed her cheek, "I love you baby." Yeji held onto me, "Don't leave me.. p-please!" I grabbed her hands, pulling them off, "I'll be back soon.. hopefully.." Yeji cried into my chest, "I need you!" I played with her hair, "I know you do.." Yeji lifted her head up, "All I want is to have my Ryujin back.." I bit my lip, "And she's almost there.." Yeji kissed me, "I-I love you so fucking much.." I looked into her pretty eyes again, "I love you too.."

And that was our goodbye.
