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

Chapter 7.

In my hand, I held a tablet. The concert was amazing. Hwasa, just like the rest, knew how to energize the crowd. Everyone danced to Hwasa's tune and enjoyed every moment of it.

In between, Moonbyul flirted with Solar, making Solar blush. Of course, to cover this up, Wheein joined Moonbyul and seemed to flirt with her as well. Then it was Hwasa's turn.

Hwasa, however, pulled out instant noodles shortly after and started eating. I shook my head with amusement. The manager next to me, who was also taking care of her, seemed stressed.

But I remained completely relaxed. Hwasa didn't miss a beat. While Hwasa sang, the others helped themselves to the noodles. I simply smiled and sang along softly while occasionally checking something on the tablet.

When the girls had a short break, I quickly went on stage and handed each of them a water bottle and a towel. Hwasa was the first to wink at me. I just smiled.
Then I quickly left the stage.

———————————————————————————

Curiously, I scrolled through Instagram when my eyes suddenly widened. I came across a Reel that seemed to be a theory. I couldn't help but laugh.

So now there was a theory that Hwasa and I were dating? The only "evidence" cited were the occasional love bites I had, Hwasa linking arms with me, winking at me, and the way I smiled at her.

I laughed because those were really ridiculous reasons. It seemed I now had my own hashtag as well. Curiously, I clicked on it.
To my surprise, my eyebrows raised.

There were already several videos of me. I clicked on the first one and watched it. My hand also reached into the bag of chips in front of me.

The video was about whether I was the one who scouted Ryujin, as Ryujin once mentioned that a cute manager scouted her. In the video, I was also wearing a similar hat to Ryujin's. However, what no one knew was that it was actually Ryujin's hat, as Ryujin and I had a shared history.

The next video claimed that as Itzy's manager, I mistreated them. It depicted me ignoring Ryujin at the airport, giving a fan a nasty look, flipping off an interviewer in America, and giving Yeji a stern glare before she got into the van.

I took a bite of the chip as I chuckled. I remembered how angry Yuna had become when this video came out.

The next video was a theory that Yeji was actually dating me and that the whole thing with Bang Chan was just for PR. Intrigued by the intro, I now looked much more interested.

After that, there were many clips where I could be seen, and in almost all of them, I had a love bite. I blushed in one of the videos when Yeji smiled at me. Shortly after, a still frame from Yuna's live was analyzed, claiming that the hands looked too feminine and overall smaller. It was mentioned that Yeji's height is shorter than Bang Chan's. Additionally, there was a mirror present in the frame showing short hair. This led to speculation that it could be Ryujin, but it wouldn't make sense as Ryujin was seen next to Lia. Then a photo of me was shown, where I was busy tying cables together, and it was evident that I also had short hair.
Then, photos were shown of me as Mamamoo's manager, with the love bite in the same spot.

Yes... Yeji loved placing a love bite right at my pulse. She said she enjoyed feeling my pulse rise as she placed it.

I took a deep breath. This fan was really good. But how many times did this person watch the videos? What do people actually notice? I always find that astonishing.

The door opened, and I looked up. Yeji was standing there, and I could only stare at her with my mouth open as I was about to stuff another piece of chips into my mouth. I did it anyway.
