*1 year later*
Ryujin's POV
"Come on the show's starting!"
"Calm down, we're almost there,"
I was on the phone with my brother, he's with the boys and going to watch Yeji's first show tonight at AERI.
A talent scout offered her to be the lead singer of a cover band 2 weeks ago.
Our friends are all going to be here tonight to support her. Yeonjun also started working at the bar as a waiter, and as expected more women came to the place.
Winter started studying at our university, and she's blockmates with Chaeryeong. She's getting close with Karina, with Karina always teasing her. She would constantly barge in my room to hit me and tell me the moments she had with her so far.
"These two again," Aeri complained after seeing Winrina bickering.
"Let the lovebirds fight," i said.
"How about us single people, unnie?" i laughed at Ningning's question.
"She's saying that cause her girl's gonna be up on that stage later,"
"Another pair-" this time it was Lia who complained.
"Ryujin unnie, will you sleep at our place later?" Yuna asked me.
"I might, why?" i answered with a frown though i already had an idea where that was going.
"Would you like to sleep at mine, Yuna?"
"Yeahhhh, i doubt you can sleep well in there later,"
"I hate you guys-" they ignored me.
"Ayo girls!" Yeonjun greeted us full of energy. He also served the drinks.
"My boys are always late," he said making us chuckle.
The boys arrived just a few minutes after Yeonjun said that. They sat on the table beside us as we all waited for the show to start.
Ten more minutes passed before the lights went out and only the stage was lit.
"Well, I will call you darlin' and everything will be okay..."
Shouts from the crowd were heard as the band started playing.
"That's my baby!" i shouted as well.
"Put your hand in mine
You know that I want to be with you all the time
You know that I won't stop until I make you mine
You know that I won't stop until I make you mine
Until I make you mine~"
We were all jamming to the happy music. Yeji really knows how to perform and hype the audience up. I noticed her roam her eyes around and waited for them to meet mine. She smiled widely when our eyes met causing me to do the same.
"Well, I have called you darlin' and I'll say it again, again
So kiss me 'til I'm sorry, babe, that you are gone and I'm a mess
And I'll hurt you and you'll hurt me and we'll say things we can't repeat,"
She started walking down the stage, towards our place. The cheers from the crowd got louder when the spotlight were on us. She held my hand and we walked back towards the stage.
"Put your hand in mine
You know that I want to be with you all the time
You know that I won't stop until I make you mine
You know that I won't stop until I make you mine
Until I make you mine~"
She sang without breaking our eye contact. I mouthed, "I'm already yours" while grinning.
"You need to know
We'll take it slow
I miss you so
We'll take it slow
It's hard to feel you slipping (You need to know)
Through my fingers are so numb (We'll take it slow)
And how was I supposed to know (I miss you so)
That you were not the one?"
"I am the one baby," i said again.
"Put your hand in mine
You know that I want to be with you all the time,"
The music started to slow down. I was just on stage with her not dropping my hand. My smile won't fade away watching her.
"So lucky!"
"SANAOL!"
"THEY'RE SO PRETTY TOGETHER,"
"I DON'T KNOW IF I WANT TO BE YEJI OR RYUJIN,"
Everyone of them enjoyed the performance.
I remember just watching her sing from afar and now she's my girlfriend. The feeling I've felt the first time she stopped to look at me that night is now tripled. Maybe more than tripled...
--
"To our Yeji!!"
"To our Yeji!" and we all raised our toast.
Yeji kissed me without warning that we almost fell down, glad i grabbed her waist on time.
"Get a room!"
"My eyes-"
We all sat down and everyone was talking about something while me and Yeji is at our own little world. We were quiet and exchanged smiles that turned to laughter.
"I'm so proud of you, Yeddeong,"
"Where's my reward?" she said like a kid.
"Maybe later," i said and winked at her. She hit me, of course she knew what i meant by that.
"I've been thinking about Hyunjin, yeah sorry for bringing him up so suddenly,"
"What? No no, it's fine baby," i put down my drink and sat properly to listen to her.
"I just don't know when he'll be better. Maybe I'll give him a visit soon and--"
"Hmm?"
"I remembered what he said about you being my way out," she paused and smiled at me.
Okay now, I'm confused.
"He was right, but not that kind of way. You were my way out of my chaotic past, you changed me."
I can't help but to smile.
"I guess i could say the same, Yeddeong," she gave me frown. "You know i was a failing student, about to leave the town but I've met you. A reason for me to study hard so i could stay here,"
She looked at me like she couldn't believe me.
"We're the way out of this tiring world, baby, yes we, together."
And with that, i claimed her lips as if it's the first time.
