Itzy's Manager- In English (Ryujin x Fem! Reader X Yeji)

Chapter 1.

With a furrowed brow, I entered the large house of the Korean girl group Itzy, bags in my hand as I closed the door. My eyes immediately went to the living room.

My eyebrows lifted in surprise, but I also noticed the camera right away and went to the kitchen without saying a word to replenish the refrigerator. I couldn't help but smile. Yeji had her face pressed against the couch and seemed to be angrily and disappointedly murmuring something. Apparently, they were now assigning rooms...

"When did you arrive?" I heard someone say softly behind me. My eyebrows lifted again as I noticed Ryujin behind me. Her eyes scrutinized me as usual.

I smirked. "You should go back. You're filming," I replied, continuing my activity. I glanced briefly at Ryujin, who was still standing there, her eyes following my every move.

"Are you leaving afterwards?" she asked, and somehow her jaw seemed tense. I looked at her, my brow now slightly furrowed. "If there's anything, I can stay," I replied, and Ryujin nodded her head. She then went back to the living room.

I finished my task and still kept myself hidden, at least until the cameras were finally turned off. When I got the OK from the other staff, I also went to the living room.

A smile on my face as I sat down next to Yeji, who still seemed a bit sulky. "Let me guess, you got the smallest room?" I asked, visibly amused. Yeji, who was still pouting, looked at me, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Yeji leaned her head on my shoulder, which made me smile a bit. "Well, the fridge is restocked. Do you need anything else?" I asked, looking at everyone once, but my gaze lingered a bit longer on Ryujin, since she wanted me to stay longer.

"Don't go... today is our day off," Yeji said as she wrapped her hands around my arm. I smiled a bit. "You want to spend your day off with your manager?" I asked, amused, looking at each of them with a raised eyebrow.

Yuna, however, sighed and rolled her eyes as she plopped down on the couch next to me. "Come on, y/n. We're friends. You're not just our manager," Yuna said, playfully hitting my arm. I chuckled a bit.

"Yuna! Why don't you call her 'Unnie'?" Lia asked, admonishing Yuna with a glance. I laughed. "We don't have a significant age difference. She doesn't have to call me 'Unnie,' at least not in private," I immediately clarified.

"What? No significant age difference? How... old are you?" Chae-ryeong asked, visibly surprised by this information. Now the others also looked at me with curious eyes.

I laughed nervously. "Well... I'm 21 years old," I said, and now the entire group stared at me with wide eyes. Yeji blinked in disbelief at the realization. "How... And you're our manager?" she asked, but her hand stopped her fast mouth.

I smiled understandingly. "Yes, I'm one of your managers. But I don't have much say, so don't worry about it," I replied, laughing a bit to ease their concerns. "I think I was hired because I'm around your age and probably to make the management a bit more relaxed," I shrugged.

Yeji looked at me, her cat-like eyes looking really sexy. "But anyway, I shouldn't disturb you anymore. If there's anything, just write or call me, and I'll be right there," I said as I got up from the couch.

However, Ryujin immediately held onto my wrist, preventing me from leaving. Her eyes narrowed as she turned to me and asked with a certain undertone, "Who allowed you to leave?" I swallowed almost immediately as I blinked at her.

Even the others were surprised by her behavior.

"Ryu-"

"Unnie."

I furrowed my brow in surprise and swallowed again. I cleared my throat as I felt a certain warmth in my face. "Unnie," I corrected myself. "I should continue working," I said, and Ryujin nodded her head, but she still didn't let go of me.
