Capturing a Moment (Shin Ryujin x Female Reader)

Chapter Twenty-Six

Y/n's POV 

I will admit two days ago when all of us were back in the studio had that awkward atmosphere that I didn't want at all. Aurora and I though mature adults and we told everyone the situation. Being the best people they are, Ilona, Peter, and Jessica pretended to be shocked at the news because Aurora didn't know I told them. But yesterday wasn't bad because everyone moved on from the fact that Aurora and I were no longer were going out with each other. 

While I was eating my breakfast this morning, I watched a bunch of stages that the girls have done in Korean music shows. They've won 10 awards already and I always loved it when Ryujin was the one giving the acceptance speech. All of their outfits were great and the makeup was on point; it highlights all their unique features beautifully. 

Speaking of the girls and Ryujin, I watched a message pop down from the top of my screen, making me smile. The name my blondie <3 was on display and I read her quick message that said 'can i call u please?' I paused the performance I was on and went straight to calling her, excited that she has some free time to talk. We actually haven't been able to call or facetime each other a whole lot which has been horrible. It was always those quick conversations through texts. After two rings, she picked up. 

"Hey Ryu!" I said right away with a smile. But that smile faded away real quick when I heard a sniffle on the other end, "no no, what's wrong?" I asked her worriedly. She let out a shaky breath and I wanted nothing more than to just wrap her up in my arms and hold her tight. 

"I've just been overwhelmed with everything and haven't had time to process anything. It's all just going so fast around me and I feel like I can't keep up." Ryujin explained to me as my heart broke with each word that left her mouth. 

"Have you told the girls you feel like this?" 

"No, because I don't want to be a burden to them." 

"You aren't a burden and they will not think of you in that way. Please tell them sometime soon. And when was the last time you've had a bit of time to yourself?" 

"I guess I'll tell them, I just need to find the right time. And honestly when I was with you that night was the last time I had time to myself." She told me as I could hear the exhaustion seeping through her voice. I was about to talk, but she beat me to the punch, 

"I just miss you."  

I sighed mentally to myself because I knew this was going to happen after that night. We would miss each other immensely and that would make our emotions stronger. 

"I miss you too, believe me. I wish I could be there and kiss your lips and hold you in my arms all night, but that's not realistic right now," I thought of an idea, "are you getting ready for bed?" 

I knew that it was late in Seoul and she told me last night that this will be the first actual night's sleep she'll get since getting back to South Korea. 

"I'm laying down in bed, yes." 

"Hold on." I hung up on her without waiting for a response and ran to my room, flopping down on my bed. I then immediately facetimed her after getting comfortable. I honestly don't know why she didn't do it in the first place, but that's okay. She answered it right away, 

"That was mean to hang up on me like that." I noticed that my view of her was just pitch black. So I'm guessing that's why she didn't facetime me because I can't see her. 

"I'm sorry, but I had to. Now you can go to sleep with me." I said with a smile as I heard a small giggle from her, making me smile happily. 

"God, you know how to lift my mood. Thank you."
