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

Chapter 6.

I bit into my inner cheek. My eyes narrowed, and my forehead creased. I crossed my arms over my chest as I glanced at the stage from the side.

I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down. But it was impossible.
How the hell can they ask such questions?

Angry, I pulled out my phone from my pocket and immediately called my boss. I've never felt this angry before. I moved a bit further away so that if I were to raise my voice, it wouldn't be heard.

I didn't give a damn that it was probably late at night in Korea. I just kept calling my boss. Even if I had some authority issues, this was about Itzy!

My jaw was never so tense as I continued to take deep breaths, trying to calm myself down. I didn't have the power to make decisions, but these questions were just disgusting!

Why did most interviewers treat K-pop idols like garbage?
What was going on?!

"It's 3 a.m.," I heard my boss murmur into the phone. I cleared my throat to avoid being too loud, but I must have failed a bit.

"I'm going to end this interview now!! I just wanted to inform you," I said angrily. My boss could probably hear my anger. I heard some rustling and her strained groan. She was probably sitting up.

"What's going on?" she asked as I heard her yawn. My hand clenched into a fist. I took another deep breath.

"The interviewer has been harassing the girls the whole time. He's asking questions we didn't agree on beforehand, sexual questions, and questions they weren't supposed to answer! But he's forcing them to. Ryujin is already furious, and even Jisu (Lia) is about to jump at him," I replied. My eyes narrowed. "He keeps touching the girls and making them uncomfortable. He even insinuated that Itzy hates their fans, the Midzys, and they're only in it for the money! And that they probably slept with the CEO since their songs aren't anything special! He doesn't even let the translator finish speaking."

I angrily bit my lip. I had never been this angry before! My heart pounded wildly in my chest. "I'm going to end this interview now! If you want to fire me afterwards, that's fine! But I won't let the girls go through this," I said angrily.

"Stay calm. Is it live?" my boss asked as she probably ran her hand over her face to wake herself up a bit.

"No. I'll shove the recording up their asses!" I exclaimed, and shortly after, I heard my boss giggle. But she cleared her throat shortly after. "Good. End the interview," she said, and I hung up almost immediately.

With quick strides, I made my way onto the stage. There were few audience members, but none of them had a phone in their hand. At least, I hoped so.

My eyes narrowed even further as I saw the man touching Jisu's knee, a smile on his face. But I immediately grabbed his wrist and removed his hand from her knee.

Ryujin, Yeji, Yuna, Jisu, and Chae looked at me wide-eyed. None of them had ever seen me this angry. They probably didn't expect me to come on stage and interrupt the interview. Even the translator looked uncomfortable.

The older man looked at me, somewhat shocked, but then became angry as he stood up, towering over me. "What's your problem?" he asked, glancing around briefly before looking back at me. "Translate, you idiot," he said to the translator.

My jaw clenched. "The interview is over! We're confiscating the recording, or there will be a report of sexual harassment and abuse of power," I said, my eyes filled with anger.

I felt someone trying to take my hand, but I pulled away from the contact. I looked at Yeji, who stared at me with wide eyes. "Go to the others," I said, and Yuna was the first to listen.
