Dive Into You

Chapter 1: Four Female Friends

Two Years Later...

Moon Kyung-hwa, in a white dress with bunny ears and a tail, leans against the door frame of the sliding glass door that leads out to the dorm room's balcony. Every year, since getting involved in the k-pop industry, Kyung-hwa has held a festive Chuseok, Halloween, Christmas holiday-themed party.

Her eyes are narrowed and locked in on a beautiful wavy red-haired woman that is hovering by the front door double checking out every man or woman that enters. "Shin Ryu-jin...you're going to get yourself mixed up in another dating rumor if you don't slow down," Kyung-hwa mutters to herself, shaking her head.

Ryu-jin, who is dressed in a moderately-slutty black cat costume, gives her hair a toss and flicks a flirty wave of her fingers at a young man getting punch. The man startles and races away, causing Ryu-jin to chuckle.

"Are you going to flirt with everyone here, men and women, Ryujinie?" Kyung-hwa questions as she comes up.

Ryu-jin giggles. "I'm not flirting with everyone." She tosses her hair behind her and gives a half roll of her eyes. "Please."

Kyung-hwa shakes her head. "So the wave to Yoon San-ha of ASTRO was just a mere wave and nothing more?"

Ryu-jin nods her head. "You think this kitty is interested in ASTRO's maknae?"

"I don't know what you're into these days, Ryujinie?" another woman with short-shoulder length chocolate waves of hair states with a playful smirk on her face. She's wearing a snow leopard costume complete with ears and a tail. "None of us do though..." She puts her hands on her hips.

Ryu-jin puts a hand on her shoulder. "Jeongyeonie, do I sense some jealousy in your voice?" She leans over and bats her eyelashes at her.

Jeong-yeon shoots her a look out of the corner of her eyes. "I'm not jealous." She looks away, her cheeks reddening.

Ryu-jin laughs and straightens up. "Well, I'm not interested in him or in any male idols."

"Never change, Ryujinie," Kyung-hwa remarks. "Where's Dami at?"

Jeong-yeon and Ryu-jin gather themselves together and glance around them, looking for the fourth member of their friendship square.

Ryu-jin shrugs after a quick sweep of the room.

"OH! There she is!" Jeong-yeon finally announces. She points out in the direction of the snack table where a woman with short deep red hair styled up into a silver princess tiara is standing holding a plate of various snack foods. She has on a stunning bright lavender fairy-tale dress. "She's getting food."

"Oh, of course, she is..." Ryu-jin grumbles to herself.

The three shuffle their way over to her, causing her to sense them and spin around.

"Oh, hey, I was just getting a little...hungry," Lee Yu-bin, or better known to everyone by her stage name, Dami, the costumed princess, says. "A nice gentleman insisted that I try this pork belly...though I'm not sure who he was or where he went...?" She stands on her tiptoes and looks around the room.

"Was it Yoon San-ha?" Kyung-hwa inquires, glancing at Ryu-jin and earning an elbow to the arm.

"San-ha? As in, the one from ASTRO?" Dami questions with a cock of her head.

"No, San-ha from NCT 127," Ryu-jin sassily says.

"Ha-ha, funny, I forgot to laugh, Ryu-jin-ah," Dami remarks and bites off a piece of pork belly from a toothpick.

"Man, I need a vacation," Ryu-jin says with a dramatic sigh. "From you both." She points at Kyung-hwa and Dami. She then turns to Jeong-yeon, who is playing with her hair. "But not from you, beautiful."
