Only when we're high (Ryeji)

Chapter 10

[A/N: It's me again. Hope you didn't forget what happened. This chapter contains some seriousness but also some sex. So, hope you enjoy it!]

[Yeji's POV]

"You did what?" 

My manager's voice pierced through my ears so I had to move away my phone away before she made me deaf.

"Unnie, don't be mad" I tried not to but still sounded scared for my life. I've never seen her angry.

"How do you expect me not to be mad? Do you realize what you just did?" She continued to scream.

"Technically nothing much since I haven't fin--"

"NOTHING MUCH?? You have a comeback in two weeks. You were supposed to do the photoshoot tomorrow!! And don't make me tell you about all the interviews and performances that are to follow. How can you mess up like that?"

"Well," I stood up and nervously walked from one end of the room to the other "It's not that bad I swear. I just need you to do some retouches here and there. I'm sure you'll be fine" I tried to sound nonchalant but my voice was honestly trembling.

"Oh, I will be far from fine once JYP learns about this." 

Taking a deep breath I asked, "Can you please come here and help me?" No response. "Please, Unnie."

After what felt like days something was finally heard on the other end of the phone. 

Sighing she said, "Ok...Ok, I will. Just- Forget it I'll be there in a few."

Fast forward to a couple of hours later, under the dim lighting in the bathroom, I was sitting on the floor while my manager was drying my hair with a towel. Very furiously if I should say.

"Ow, it hurts" I wined.

"Yeji, you called me in the middle of the night to come here and abandon my precious sleeping hours just so I could fix your mistake. I didn't sign up to hear you complaining all night. So please, try not to talk."

I gulped. Gosh, I really did mess up.

Then she dropped the towel and held my chin so I could look her in the eyes.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to shout at you." She apologized.

"And I'm sorry that I made you angry." I suddenly felt my heart beating faster and some warm feeling burning in my chest.

"Noo, you didn't make me angry. It's just that...you were irresponsible, Yeji." She barely audibly whispered as if she was afraid of my reaction. "Lately you've been more...you haven't been yourself. You seem bottled up and you jump up at anyone who you think is disrespecting you or doesn't agree with you."

I blinked a few times so I could prevent small tears from falling. 

"You are like gasoline and when you get triggered by something you light up and cause a fire."

I looked away and saw my freshly dyed red locks in the mirror.

"You let yourself get on fire, Yeji. And now people around you will suffer."

"What are you talking about, Unnie?" I raised my voice. "It's just hair!" I tried to convince myself more than her. I knew what could happen.

"Your mistake will have consequences on you, on the girls, on me, on-"

"Okay stop!" I turned back to her in hopes that my tears aren't visible. "Stop"

"Yeji." She tried to reach me but I slid on the floor until my back hit the wall.
