The Last to Leave || Ryeji ff

- Chapter 10 -

"I'm so excited to see you guys," Jisu screamed as she ran up to Ryujin and Yeji and jumped into Yeji's arms. When Yeji put her back down, Jisu looked between the two of them, a confused smile on her face. "Did you two come together?"

"Yeah, it's, uh, closer to the city from my place so Ryujin came to me. That way we can take a rideshare back together at the end of the night."

Jisu's smile became even wider. "To your place? Together?" Yeji shrugged. "Yeah. For logistical purposes."

Ryujin laughed internally as Yeji used the same excuse she had when she first asked her to stay over. If logistical purposes meant Yeji going down on her when she had barely made it through the door to her apartment then it wasn't a lie. She needed to stop thinking about that though or she would be way too turned on with no outlet until the end of the night.

Any amount of turned on she was feeling melted away when she saw Soobin walking over with Yeonjun at his side. Yeonjun had a sneer on his face, and Ryujin was sure he had something douchey to say.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't little Miss Best Man." Yeonjun looked her up and down. "Sounds fitting."

Soobin shoved an elbow hard into Yeonjun's side, making him lose his breath. "Shut up, dude. No one wants to hear it." He reached his arms out toward Ryujin and pulled her into him. "Ignore him. He's just jealous."

"There's just four more people coming," Jisu explained once the greetings were over. "It's two of Soobin's friends from high school and two of my friends from college. I'm honestly surprised we could get that many people on such short notice, so I'm excited."

Jisu's eyes focused on something behind them and before Ryujin could turn around, two high-pitched voices were ringing in her ear. "Jisu! Yeji! I can't believe the whole gang's back together again."

Ryujin watched as Yeji greeted the two girls with big hugs. After Jisu gave them hugs as well, she turned toward Ryujin. "These are our friend Minjeong and Yunjin. They were in the dorm room right next to ours freshman year and we've been besties ever since."

"Yes. Except now they all have men in their lives leaving me all alone," Yeji said while wiping at a fake tear.

"If you're looking for a man, he's right here," Yeonjun said, a shit-eating grin on his face that Ryujin wanted to slap right off.

Yeji laughed, but Ryujin was happy to see she didn't seem impressed. "The only man I see is the one who's getting married."

Ryujin laughed out loud at Yeji's comment, causing Yeonjun's attention to turn back to her. "Did you have something to say, Miss Best Man?"

Ryujin was about to tell him just what she thought about him when she was interrupted by Soobin's friends, Seungmin and Jungwon. After more introductions were made, they were taken to their table that Soobin had reserved in the back of the restaurant.

Ryujin watched as Yeji took a seat by Jisu and was disappointed when Yeonjun went to sit in the seat on the other side of her.

Yeji put her hand down on the chair as he tried to pull it out. "Sorry, little boy, this seat's taken." She confirmed what Ryujin was hoping was the case when she looked at her with a smile and winked, tapping the chair in a way that told her it was all hers.

"Why, thank you," she said as she sat down, ignoring the way both Jisu and Soobin watched their interaction.

Once they were distracted by other conversations, Yeji leaned in close to whisper in her ear. "Not going to lie. I wish we weren't separating at all tonight." She ran her eyes up and down Ryujin's body in a way that only she would notice. "I know I said it already, but that dress looks really good on you."
