Deep Indigo (Shin Ryujin - Itzy)

5 - With You

(Y/n POV)

I look at Ryujin and smile, "In that case, just follow me," She nods, and then we head out of the café.

"So, Y/n.. Since I don't know much about you, why don't you tell me about yourself." Ryujin says as she follows me to the restaurant.

I scoff then reply, "Well, if I'm being honest, there's nothing really interesting about me."

"What do you mean nothing interesting? You were in a rush when I last saw you. You also had a helmet, so I'm assuming you drive a motorbike."

She was right, I do own a bike, and I was busy the day I bumped into her.

"So clearly you are interesting, and I want to know more about you, " Ryujin said as she looked at me, I didn't dare to look at her, I could never.

"I guess - okay, I do have a motorbike that you are correct but I don't think that there's anything special about it."

"Then what about that day I bumped into you, hmm?" Ryujin said slowly as she stopped in front of me, staring straight into my eyes and raising an eyebrow.

My heart is racing, I've never felt like this before, I hate this feeling.

"That day I just had a photoshoot, nothing special really, it was a whole day shoot so I couldn't be late." I say, keeping eye contact between us as she moved closer to me.

"Is that so.. Y/n?"

I lean forward, our faces are inches apart from each other, "Yes, yes, it is so Ryujin." She smiled then carried on walking beside me.

"To be honest, I'm not surprised someone like you is a model." Ryujin says as we enter the restaurant,
"And what do you mean, someone like you?" I reply, turning my head to her.

"Because, your attractive Y/n." She says without hesitation and gives me a smirk

"Hi, table for 2?" The waitress asks, and we both nod, "Just follow me, please." We follow the waitress as she seats us in a quieter area. We both bow as she gives the menus. "Just call me when you're ready to order." She smiles, I thank her as she walks away.

We finished our food quickly, and I still had 30 minutes until I needed to get back to work, Ryujin was on her phone as I stared into space thinking.

Although it's our first time spending together, it's like we've known each other for a while, I'm not complaining. It's nice to have someone you instantly click with.

"Y/n, are you ready to go?" Ryujin asks, I nod, and I ask for the bill to pay.

The waitress serving us quickly comes over and smiles, "How was the food?"

We both nod as I reply."It was good, thanks."

She smiles and then asks, "This might be a bit personal, if you don't mind me asking." I tell her to carry on, and she says,"Are you two perhaps, together?"

I see Ryujin instantly turn to me. She's red while covering her face, her eyes wide in surprise.

I chuckle awkwardly and reply, "Ah.. No, no, we aren't," trying to ease the mood,"I'm just taking her out for lunch, nothing special." I smile at the waitress.

She gasps."Oh my.. I'm so sorry, my colleagues just thought--"

"It's okay, it's okay. We just wasn't expecting that question." The waitress smiles awkwardly and gives us the bill. I pay with my card then we both quickly leave the restaurant.

That has never happened to me before. Well, it has, but not in a long time. The last time it happened, people thought Yuna was my girlfriend, but we both quickly denied it.

I take a deep sigh as I glance at Ryujin she still seems overwhelmed by what just happened, and if I'm being honest, I don't blame her.

I break the silence and tell her, "Ryujin, I still have a lot of time before I get back to work. Do you wanna get something to drink?" She looks at me then nods.

"Yeah.. That would be nice."

We then go to the nearest bubble tea shop, and we order our drinks and wait outside until we're called to get them.

"Y/n, how long have you known Yuna?" Ryujin asks, facing me. Thank god that the mood has calmed down.

"I think when I moved here, we were neighbours, I would often see Yuna when I would come back from photoshoots and stuff."

"You did photoshoots when you were younger?" Ryujin said in shock

I nod, "Yeah? Why do you ask?"

She laughs and then speaks, "I thought you would do them but not at a younger age? When did you first start?"

She then turns her whole body towards me, "When I was 15 or 16, I think? I don't really remember." I chuckle.

Her eyes widened "Wow Y/n that's very cool of you, " she said, giving me a thumbs up.

I smiled at her when the device the cashier gave us started to vibrate, and our drinks were ready. "I'll go get them," I said, heading into the shop.

(Ryujins POV)

I watched Y/n walk in to get our drinks as I sighed. How could that woman think we're together? Did we suit each other that well? No, no.. It can't be even if we were, I wouldn't fall for her that easily would? I would--

"Ryujin-ah?" I heard a familiar voice, but it was deeper than it usually sounds, I looked up and was greeted by blue eyes, Y/n. I took a step back, I wasn't expecting her to be so close.

She raises an eyebrow at me. god, she's already starting to drive me crazy. I clear my throat as she hands me my drink, and I thank her, poking the straw through the top.

She glances at her phone and then looks up at me, "I think I need to go, I have 15 minutes left."

I nod, then reply, refusing to make eye contact with her "yeah no, it's okay. Go ahead. I'll head back home or go around for a bit."

Y/n smiles at me then says, "Alright then, see you whenever I guess, take care." I smile back at her, watching as she leaves, I exhale deeply.

It was our first time meeting properly, and I'm already falling for her? No way, I refuse to believe it. I mean, yes, she's pretty and I guess attractive, but why do I want to see her more and more? Why do I want her by my side all the time? I need Chaeryeong, I need to talk to her. This is so

I arrived at the back at the dorms and was greeted by loud noises. "Ryujin unnies baackkk!!!" I hear Yuna shout loudly and when I mean loudly very loud.

Then I hear Lia unnie reply, "Yah, Shin Yuna, calm it down!" As I take off my shoes, I sigh and then look around for Chaeryeong.

Yeji unnie notices, and she asks,"What are you looking for, Ryujin?" My eyes are distacted, looking for Chaeryeong.

"Chaeryeongie, where is she?" Yeji raised an eyebrow, then replied

"She's in her room, but I think she's busy. She hasn't been outside it all day."

I sigh, then knock on her door and voice out. "Chaeryeong-ah, are you busy."

Then I hear her soft voice, "yeah~ you can come in."

I open the door, and then I sigh loudly, collapsing on her bed.

"How did it go?" She turned around her chair to face me.

I pouted then spoke, "Some woman thought we were together, and you could've warned me how flirty she is!"

Chaeryeong laughs then says, "Y/n was never like that in Hanlim." Then what the hell? If she wasn't like that, then why was she like that to me?

Chaeryeong smiled then said, "In Hanlim, Y/n didn't really like talking to people, especially when they first meet. But I have no idea what she's done to you."

Me either. I have no idea what she's done to me.
