Ballroom Fever - Ryeji

Moonshine

Even though they have been secretly going out on dates and holding hands, Ryujin and Yeji were still a little awkward with each other. The two of them couldn't believe that they would end up falling for each other. They were hiding their relationship from everyone, including their friends, because Ryujin was scared that people might see her as a loathsome person for breaking up with Chaeryeong and dating her bestfriend.

Speaking of Chaeryeong, she was still confident that she can make Ryujin's heart flutter the way she did before. She's completely unaware that Ryujin is already dating someone else. For the past 2 days, she has been giving Ryujin presents and inviting her to restaurants and coffee shops, but Ryujin kept on avoiding her and lying that she's busy. It completely baffled Chaeryeong.

But now, Ryujin was ready to talk to Chaeryeong and break her heart for the second time. She only gave Chaeryeong a second chance because she felt so guilty when she decimated the half of Chaeryeong's heart. Saying that she regrets giving her a second chance will definitely shatter the remaining half. Ryujin was ready to be honest and straightforward as she wants Chaeryeong to move on and let go of her.

Walking to the entrance of the school, Ryujin and Yeji were ignoring each other. Back then, Yeji would put her arm around Ryujin's shoulders and tease her and make fun of her. But things are different now that they're dating. They were literally close to each other. Yeji wanted to hold Ryujin's hand but she cannot, because there are tons of students walking by.

However, Ryujin pulled her attention out of their relationship and started observing the people around them. Some people were completely normal, but some were throwing glances at the two of them and whispering. Ryujin was a little scared that people know she and Yeji are secretly dating.

As they entered their school, people were still looking at them. The way they glance at the two of them made Ryujin feel utter discomfort. Ryujin paused for a moment making Yeji do the same. Ryujin started to worry that someone is secretly stalking the two of them or someone probably took a picture of her and Yeji when they kissed at a coffee shop a few days ago.

Yeji was curious about the look on Ryujin's face. She looked at where Ryujin's eyes were focused on but she doesn't seem to know what caught Ryujin's eyes. "Ryu, what exactly are you looking at?" she asked.

Ryujin snapped out of her thoughts and looked at Yeji. She shook her head and replied, "Nothing. I'll go to the bathroom." Ryujin pointed at the bathroom that is placed on the corner of the school. "Don't wait for me. Go to class," she added.

Yeji nodded. She smiled and suddenly puckered her lips. "Give me a peck first and I'll go to class."

Ryujin started looking around, scared that some people saw Yeji ask for a kiss. She quickly shoved Yeji's face away and said, "Not here, Yeji. I told you that we should keep our relationship as a secret for now."

Yeji let out a chuckle and gave Ryujin a pat on the head. "Alright, I'll go to class. Bye." She put her hands in her pockets and walked away with a smile on her face. Yeji couldn't believe that she's dating the most beautiful person she has ever saw. A person with cheeks that she wants to pinch all day, eyes that she wants to protect from the vivid sunlight, and ears that she wants to shower with compliments.

When Yeji left, a small smile formed on Ryujin's face. She was feeling happy, but a little melancholic due to the fact that she has to break someone's heart in order to become happy. Ryujin looked at the bathroom of the school and walked towards it as she wants to wash her face and ready herself on telling Chaeryeong that she's not interested in her anymore.

The bathroom of the school was as large as a classroom. The women's bathroom smelled like makeup and perfume. A white door as the entrance and exit of the bathroom that compliments to the blue and white color of the walls and the doors of the toilet cubicles. On the front, there are the faucets and a giant mirror on the wall.
