Commitment & Responsibility- In English (Yeji X Fem! Reader)

Chapter 1.

"Jagi... I know, I'm sorry... but I can't come yet. Hye-Jin Unnie has another photoshoot," I whispered into the phone. My face twisted sadly as I had to suppress a sigh.

I heard Yeji, my girlfriend, whining on the other line. She let out a loud sigh. "I understand, y/n... but... I haven't seen you in so long," Yeji lamented over the phone. Her voice sounded sadder than usual.

"Jagi, I swear I'll make it up to you. I'll hurry, okay? I promise," I replied into the phone. Meanwhile, my hands were already preparing the next outfits. Thankfully, there were AirPods.

I heard Yeji sigh in dissatisfaction. She swallowed. "Okay... but... please hurry, Jagiya," I heard Yeji respond. I immediately smiled widely. "I love you," I whispered, making sure those around me couldn't hear, but Hye-Jin from Mamamoo, Hwasa, caught onto it.

Her eyebrows raised in surprise as she looked at me now. "I-I have to hang up now, baby. I'll try to be there within two hours, okay?" I asked, and I heard Yeji sigh again. "I love you too... I miss you," she said, and I nodded.

I heard someone calling me. Panic widened my eyes, and I quickly apologized to the photographer as I seemed to be taking too long. Yeji heard everything and decided to hang up.

Hye-Jin looked at me, her eyes slightly wide. "You have... a boyfriend?" she asked, and almost immediately, she grinned a little as she looked at me. Her eyebrows wiggled suggestively.

But I just smiled nervously. "Here, Unnie. This is your next outfit," I simply said, and Hwasa burst into laughter due to my reaction. She quickly took off her top, not caring that I was still standing here. My eyes widened, and I turned around immediately.

Hye-Jin laughed at my response but didn't say anything. Shortly after, she sat on the couch and posed for the camera. I observed everything. Some people immediately asked me about the background colors and when to release the fake snow.

My eyes fell on my wristwatch. 6 p.m...
Yeji was already expecting me at home so we could go to Yuna's birthday party together. But today, Hwasa had a photoshoot.

I bit my lip. I just hoped the photoshoot would be over quickly. I still had to drive her home too. But Yeji knew how my work was. After all, I used to be Itzy's manager.

Hurriedly, I made my way to the van, with Hwasa following me, wearing a slight grin. "What's up? Do you have another date?" she asked when she saw me getting behind the wheel. I turned to her and said, "Not a date... just someone's birthday." Hwasa hummed with interest.

I started the engine. "Can I come along? I wasn't really in the mood to go home anyway," Hwasa suddenly said. Astonished, my eyes widened as I looked at her with my mouth agape.

Hwasa laughed, saying, "What? I want to meet your boyfriend." She shrugged, and I swallowed. I had to smile a little. "Well... SHE's already waiting for me. But I don't know. Should I ask?" I inquired, raising an eyebrow at the older woman.

Hwasa nodded. Apparently, she didn't even care that I might be inadvertently outing myself in front of her. I smiled to myself while biting my lip. Immediately, I called Yeji.

"Hey, Jagiya. The photoshoot is over now. So, either I drop Hye-Jin Unnie off at her place and then come, or should I bring her with me?" I asked. My fingers played with the steering wheel as I felt my heartbeat quicken.

I swallowed when I heard her humming. I heard her asking the others as well, and almost immediately, excited chatter filled the background. I chuckled. "Come over right away and kiss me," Yeji said, which made me laugh. I turned to Hwasa and nodded with my head. She grinned almost immediately.
