Say My Name - Ryeji

Apologies for any typos ..

Yeji was more than suprised to wake up under soft sheets and a mattress that could keep her snoozing for hours. Though, the aches in her body started to kick in, and she groaned, rubbing her eyes in effort to see clearer. Ryujin was to her right, facing away and breathing slowly. Her hair was tied in a loose ponytail, and she seemed to be wearing and oversized tee. But, that was not Yeji's main concern; nothing around them looked familiar. Certainly it was not her house, nor Ryujin's mysterious woods cabin.

She decided to get up, finding herself in a tee as well. She was wobbly, still couldn't walk correctly while she walked over to sliding doors that led to a balcony.

"Beautiful." She mumbled while yawning. The sky was turning orange and red, streaking the clouds and patterning rays into the grey. Though, what caught her attention was the lack of buildings, the lack of a skyline crowded with skyscrapers. It was baren of such, in fact, it seemed like a housing development within the plains. Trees along the side hiding what she assumed was the highway.

She sighed, looking back at Ryujin who was still snoozing peacefully. But, even just staring she felt this pull to touch her cheek, to feel her skin. An urge to call her name over and over... She shook her head, knowing that would only lead to morning sex, and she couldn't handle that at the moment. Wobbling her way to the bathroom she found a neatly folded suit with a note on it, and a rectangle pin with her name intricately carved.

Your name is Hwang Yeji, you are the manager at Firelaw. You are new, and have worked in management for five years.

Yeji swallowed a lump in her throat. How was she to be a manger? She didn't know much about lawyering. Sure, she studied law a bit to be a prison guard, but lawyering was a different field. She would have to talk with Ryujin once she woke. In the meantime, she decided to shower, as she would every morning before her stay at the institution. It was perfect, having the privacy she hadn't in a bit, being able to take her time and wash herself with soaps that didn't smell of chemicals, and with hot water. It was a luxury she missed much, and the feeling of freedom sunk into her. She smiled into the stream of water, running her hands through her hair and humming in content.

Ryujin had gotten up not much later, hearing the pattering water of the shower. She was tempted to join her, but just by seeing her enjoying herself through the small crack in the door she let her be. It was strange, the way she felt towards Yeji. It was as though she already knew her, and in many ways she did. She recalled their first night, the way she screamed her name over and over in effort to reach a high she could get from anyone. But, Yeji was curious at that time, and man did it get her screwed over.

Ryujin thought harder, shaking her head. Why would she come back to me? What does she need? What was she thinking? Ryujin was confused for the first time in so many decades. Such a sunshine girl, made everyone happy, with a killer smile. Yet, she was corrupt in the head to a degree much greater than some of the worst people she had read.

"Yeji?" Ryujin said when she felt the brunette's presence behind her.

"Yes?" Yeji said, blinking and unmoving, wondering if everything was okay given the raven just sat facing the view.

"Why did you want to come with me?" Ryujin said, perplexed again as she stood and walked over to the girl. The suit looked remarkable on her. But, that wasn't her main concern. She read her, almost laughing at the dirty things running through the brunette's mind just by the sight of her.

"I like the way you make me feel." Yeji said, blushing furiously. Ryujin found it cute, satisfying. "My heart beats faster than ever with you, when I am thrown into the unknown. It's exciting, something I never had in my... my old life." Yeji noticed how Ryujin's eyes never left hers, didn't blink once until a moment later. All she got in response was the raven-haired's signature hum.
