Ballroom Fever - Ryeji

Sunny Afternoon

It was a peaceful and relaxing afternoon. 2 weeks have already passed. Yeji and Ryujin were at the ice cream store, sitting across each other. The two ordered a bowl of vanilla, the best ice cream flavor. Yeji was looking at the streets through the wall of glass on her right side while Ryujin was eating in silence thinking of fun things to do for the rest of the day. Ryujin wanted to invite Yeji to her house and watch a movie with her, but she wanted to hangout with Chaeryeong, Lia, and Yuna. Ryujin was worried that if she brought her friends to her house, they might burn her house down, because everytime her friends come over, Ryujin's humble abode always end up as a mess, so she decided to erase the plan of inviting her friends to her home because she doesn't want to get strangled to death by her parents.

"Ryujin," Yeji said breaking the silence between them and catching Ryujin's attention.

Both of Ryujin's eyebrows were raised. "What is it?" she asked. She stopped eating her ice cream to listen to what her girlfriend is about to say.

"What are you thinking about?" Yeji asked.

"You," Ryujin replied and threw a cute eye smile at Yeji. Ryujin's whisker-like dimples and teeth that're as white as a snowdrop were showing and it made Yeji want to stand up from her seat and firmly grasp Ryujin's cheeks.

Yeji chuckled as she struggled to resist her girlfriend's cuteness. 'I am so in love with you,' Yeji thought and smiled. Yeji always believed that Cupid fired an arrow at her hence why her eyes turn into a pair of hearts everytime Ryujin is with her, but now, she is starting to think that hundreds of arrows were sent to her.

Ryujin leaned forward and suddenly pinched Yeji on the cheek that made Yeji a little flustered. "Cutie." Ryujin giggled. "I have dimples and you have dimples. You and I, we're really meant to be," Ryujin said and returned to her seat. "Plus, why are you asking what I'm thinking about? I always think about you, Yeddeong. When I wake up, you're the first thing that pops in my head. When I'm asleep, I have you in my dreams... Even in my bad dreams, you're still there." Ryujin weakly chuckled. "My nightmare, the scary thought of losing you."

Yeji's smile grew bigger. She rested her hand on the table, palms open. "Don't worry, you won't lose me. I love you."

Ryujin put her hand on top of Yeji's hand. "I love you too," she said back.

Yeji held Ryujin's hand and cleared her throat. "What else were you thinking about? I was just worried about you earlier. You were silent and you were spacing out," Yeji said with a hint of worry.

"Nothing." Ryujin exhaled. "I just want to..." Ryujin's train of thought hit a brick wall when she felt her phone vibrate in her pocket. "Wait, someone texted me." She inserted her hand in her pocket, took out her phone and turned it on. "...Chaeryeong texted me. She's inviting us to the movies..." Ryujin let out a small laugh when she read the last sentence in Chaeryeong's text. "She also said that she actually invited Lia to the movies. She wanted to be alone with her, but it all went upside down when Lia decided to bring Yuna, so she decided to invite you and I. She said she'll meet us there at 3:00."

Yeji nodded. "Alright... I can't believe Ryeongie is finally making a move on Lia. It reminds me of the time when you and Ryeongie were still together and I was still your bestfriend." Yeji laughed while thinking of a distant memory. "I remember my heart fluttering when I carried you on my back and you said that my future girlfriend is so lucky and you want to be that person... and that time when we went to the movies and the movie reminded me of my father, you held my hand and wiped my tears."
