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

Chapter 8.

Yuna POV

We have been on America for a few months now, but finally, we have an entire month off. Christmas and New Year's...
finally some time to relax!

I was sitting on the couch in our vacation home when y/n gave me a stern lecture. Apparently, when Yeji was recording a video, Ryujin and I were hugging each other. Many fans thought we were kissing.

If they only knew what was really going on here, we would have all been fired long ago. My eyes lifted as I saw y/n approaching with two puddings and sitting next to me.

She had just scolded me moments ago, and now she was handing me a pudding. A broad grin spread across my face as I accepted the pudding. "I love you too," I said joyfully as y/n handed me a spoon.

Y/n rolled her eyes but smiled slightly. She opened her pudding. "You have to be careful, Yuna," she said softly. She sighed as she looked out the window.

"You're the youngest, but even you are sexualized... I don't want that to happen. None of you should be sexualized," she said, taking a bite of her yogurt. She sighed again.

"Your fans and even your haters... they analyze everything to know more about you. They don't even do it on purpose. They just want to know more about you... but it can backfire," she added.

I smiled faintly. She didn't like giving me or anyone else such a lecture. She took a deep breath again. "Just one situation... if it's misinterpreted," she began, but stopped as her phone suddenly rang.

She looked at me. She apologized slightly and answered the call. I watched her intently. She had a smile on her lips, but it disappeared shortly after. Her forehead creased. "I'll check right away," she said and hung up.

I saw her open TikTok and search for 'Itzy's manager.' I moved closer as she watched all the videos about how JYP mistreated Itzy. As she scrolled further, my eyes widened.

There was a video of y/n looking annoyed at that girl at the airport, ignoring Ryujin at the airport, then flipping off an interviewer near the van, and also glaring angrily at Yeji before Yeji got into the van.

It was also written that Itzy's manager is a real bitch and treats Itzy very poorly. My eyes fell on the number of likes, and it had over a hundred thousand likes.

"What are they talking about?" I asked, visibly upset about this video. I had long forgotten about my pudding as I looked at y/n's face. She remained calm, showing no reaction. She then clicked on the comments.

"No. You told us never to read the comments!" I exclaimed, my eyes widening as I saw that y/n wasn't listening to me. I heard y/n swallow.

There were many English comments, and I could decipher most of them. The words 'bitch,' 'fire,' 'abuse,' and who knows what else were mentioned frequently.

Y/n continued scrolling, and there was another video where y/n was wearing Ryujin's cap. Or at least it looked exactly the same. The caption mentioned that they were probably dating.

Y/n took a deep breath and put her phone away. She closed her eyes for a while before opening them again and continuing to eat her pudding.

"How can you be so calm?" I asked, visibly agitated. I had even stood up from the couch. My mouth was open, and my forehead was furrowed. Y/n looked up at me and smiled gently.

"I know what happened, and you know it too. That's enough for me," she replied, and my eyebrows raised. Surprised by her response, I looked at her for a few seconds. Was she... indifferent to the hate?

I sighed softly and nodded my head. She was right... It was all misinformation... So I sat back down next to her.

"Oh, don't say anything to the others. They don't need to know, understood?" she asked, now looking at me with a slightly more serious expression. I swallowed nervously and nodded my head.
