[Ryujins's POV]

I had her pinned against the door of room 526, our breaths heavy and hearts racing. How did we even get here? I thought. I remember an Uber, but I don't remember saying goodbye to anyone back in the club.

Oh, well. They won't miss us – or at least I won't miss them.

"Where's your key card?" Yeji asked in a whisper, her hands wandering down my body in search of the device and her touch sending shivers down my spine.

"Here." We waited until the light flashed green and the door clicked open, and she pulled me inside my dark hotel room.

"Kiss me," she breathed, her arms snaking around my neck.

I nodded quickly and leaned in, finally capturing her lips with my own. God, I'd spent the whole night fantasizing about this very moment. I've missed her lips from the moment I stopped kissing them.

The effects of alcohol were already fading away, but I could still taste the remains of vodka in the kiss. Our lips moved eagerly, a mess of tongues and bites melting into the smoldering kiss. I hummed against her mouth, feeling the corner of her lips curve up in a smile, and before I knew it I was grinning too.

Don't think, I told myself. Thinking is for tomorrow. Tonight is for feeling.

Just for tonight, there were no rules. Tonight, we weren't Shin Ryujin and Hwang Yeji, 4th gen idols from ITZY with duties and responsibilities and so many things we couldn't do. No, tonight we were just Ryujin and Yeji, and the night was ours to do as we pleased.

I started giving slow steps forward as we kissed, leading her toward the desk in the corner of the room. I had never paid much attention to it, but I guess now was the time to put it to good use.

I grabbed Yeji by the back of her knees and lifted her up, placing her gently on the piece of furniture. I quickly took off my high heels and threw them somewhere around the room carelessly. I didn't bother to do the same with hers, though. If anything, fucking her in high heels only made things much hotter.

She wrapped her legs around my waist and pulled me in for a hungry kiss, but once again neither of us could stop grinning – what the hell was so funny? I broke the kiss with a smile and leaned in again, however, this time directing my lips to her earlobe. I circled it with my tongue and nibbled on the flesh with my teeth, making the red-haired woman groan and let out a throaty moan.

My lips slowly trailed down her neck, sucking on her soft skin and probably leaving marks she'd have a hard time trying to cover up later. Considering the moans dripping from her mouth, though, I don't think she minded.

Then out of nowhere, Yeji put her hands on my shoulders, pushing me away.

"Wait, stop."

I gasped in surprise but before I could even react I felt her body slip away as she jumped off the table and ran away from me.

"Yeddeong, what—" My heart dropped. Is she just gonna leave like that?

I turned my head with a lump in my throat, expecting her to head to the door and leave. My heart felt strangely heavy.

Instead, what I saw was her running towards my bedside table and grabbing something. What the fuck?

"This stupid bitch keeps staring at me... again!" I raised my eyebrows surprised when I found Yeji with Tuk – yes, my baby Tuk – in her hands, pointing the stuffed animal in my direction. "Tuk is killing the mood, Ryu. She creeps me out." She threw her under the bed, a pissed look on her face. Are you fucking serious?
