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

Chapter 13.

Yeji POV

"Midzy, thank you so much for tuning in. To all those who have been following us since our debut and all those who joined us later, we love you all. Without your support, we wouldn't be where we are today," Chaeryeong said with a smile, waving her hands.

I chuckled as I looked into the camera. Several comments appeared on the screen. Ryujin, next to me, had our stream running on her phone to better see the comments. Lia clapped her hands once.

"Today, we have some news for you. Our next album will be released soon, and Midzy will love it. Thanks to you and your support, we put in extra effort for the music videos that will be released soon," Lia said with a smile. Yuna simply smiled into the camera.

"How many songs will the next album have?" Ryujin asked, apparently reading a comment. She looked at the camera, "Our next album has 8 songs," she said, but I couldn't help but laugh as I playfully nudged her with my hand, "No. It's 10 new songs," I finally said. A small laugh escaped my throat.

Ryujin chuckled and shook her head, "You're right," she said, laughing lightly. She then looked back at the phone while Chaeryeong continued to talk about the album. She also mentioned the exact release date. I nodded several times as I listened to Chaeryeong.

Ryujin laughed a little. She would now ask some questions from the Midzy. "The first question is whether we consider going solo," Ryujin asked, and Yuna was the first to decline, "Never. It's not the same without my sisters here. Besides, we already have a few solo songs," the youngest of us answered.

"Compared to five years ago, your English is almost fluent. How did you learn English so quickly?" Ryujin asked, and I almost immediately smiled. Y/N taught me English... She spoke only English with me for a whole month, forcing me to speak English. She only responded when I spoke in English.

"As most of you know, I was learning English so intensively that I got nosebleeds twice. Also... English is all about confidence," I replied, and we all laughed. We all knew that those words had gone viral.

"Do you want to get married?" Ryujin read a question. Chaeryeong was the only one who shook her head. But my eyes automatically fell on the ring on my finger... I was really ready to marry her... "If I'm rich," Ryujin answered, and we all laughed at her response.

Ryujin's forehead creased slightly. She turned her phone towards me and pointed at a specific viewer. I was surprised that IU Unnie was watching our stream. I glanced briefly at Ryujin.

IU... one of Y/N's closest friends... a sad smile appeared on my face. Ryujin's jaw tensed automatically. Her hand rested on my thigh to comfort me. I smiled a little wider because of it.

Ryujin paused as she read one of the comments. Almost immediately, she seemed to delete a comment. Now more panicked, she sat up, as she had been leaning against the couch until then. Lia noticed her tension but continued talking about the album together with Chaeryeong.

I furrowed my brow in confusion and looked at the woman next to me with concern. She laughed a little, remembering the camera again. She clicked on her phone several times and seemed to block a user from commenting. I saw who it was. She blocked IU from commenting... but why?

I pushed the situation aside and focused on the conversation again. I joined in as well. Although I was still confused about Ryujin's behavior, I didn't say anything. Not in front of the camera... Ryujin must have her reasons.

The live stream ended after an hour, and we all let out a sigh of relief. Each of us automatically relaxed. "So... Shall we go for a drink?" Chaeryeong asked with a smile, looking at each one of us. Lia agreed, "Sure. I don't think any of us have plans, right?" she asked, looking at all of us.
