As Y/n's boss spoke, her eyes widened in disbelief. She stood up, glancing back and forth between her boss and Jieun.
"W-what? Why? I didn't do anything-" Y/n protested, her voice shaking with confusion and fear.
"Keep playing dumb or we will file a lawsuit against you," the boss said firmly, her tone leaving no room for argument.
"But I don't really know why you are firing me!" Y/n pleaded, her mind racing to make sense of the situation.
"Why are you playing dumb? After you sexually harassed Jieun-" the boss began, but Y/n couldn't let her finish.
"Stop! I would never do that to her! Jieun means the world to me, why would I do such a thing?" Y/n interrupted, her voice trembling as she approached Jieun and knelt before her, gently lifting her head with a pleading expression.
J-jieun, come on. You know me better," Y/n implored, desperately trying to hold back tears. But Jieun pushed her hand away and turned her gaze aside.
"S-sorry but this is enough, Y/n," Jieun said, her voice strained with false sympathy.
Y/n felt frozen in place, her heart shattering at Jieun's rejection. "Jieun, I am your girlfriend, for goodness' sake!" she exclaimed, the words filled with hurt and frustration.
Jieun's eyes widened in shock, realizing their secret had been exposed. Dating as an idol and a staff member was strictly forbidden, and they had been careful to keep their relationship hidden.
"W-what are you talking about?" Jieun asked, feigning innocence as tears welled up in her eyes, her acting skills on full display.
"You are delusional, Son Y/n, get out or I will call the police!" the boss declared, attempting to console Y/n as she ushered her out of the office. With tears streaming down her face, Y/ n stared at Jieun in disbelief and disappointment, her hands clenched in anger and betrayal. Without a word, she gathered her belongings and left the office, tossing her employee card into the trash as she exited the building, feeling a mix of heartbreak and resolve.
Flashback end
[poor Y/n.😤]
Y/n didn't even realize her eyes were getting teary until she blinked, trying to hold back the tears. She noticed the girls were wrapping up, almost done with their practice. Deciding to put away her phone, she focused on observing the girls instead.
She began to notice each of their unique qualities. Minji, the oldest among them, had a natural leadership quality, even without an official title. Hanni, somewhere between extroverted and introverted, could be loud and flirty but also serious about their idol work. Danielle's warmth and ability to lighten the mood for her members were endearing. Haerin, although quiet, was always attentive and willing to participate in fun activities. And Hyein, the youngest, was cheerful and full of energy, as expected of the baby of the group.
"Y/n, hello?" Y/n snapped out of her thoughts when she noticed Hanni in front of her, snapping her fingers in her face. Blinking, Y/n tried to process what was happening.
"H-hanni, sorry," Y/n said, smiling sheepishly. Hanni smirked at her response.
"Were you checking us out?" Hanni teased, her voice playful. Y/n's eyes widened, shaking her head, but her flushed face betrayed her.
"I wasn't," Y/n replied, trying to deny it.
"It's fine, Y/n. I mean, we're kinda hot, so..." Hanni teased back, causing Y/n to blush even more.
As the others approached, Minji, wiping sweat off her face, asked, "What's happening, guys?"
Hanni, still teasing Y/n, grinned mischievously and replied, "Nothing much, just Y/n checking us out–"
All of the members beside Hanni widened their eyes in surprise. Haerin, mid-sip of water, choked, while Minji dropped her towel in shock. Danielle looked bashful, and Hyein couldn't help but giggle.
Y/n quickly interjected, "I told you I wasn't!" But the playful banter continued, with Hanni still teasing and the others sharing amused looks.
After that, they are finally sat at their vehicle ready to drive home. For the whole ride Y/n didn't dare to speak because of the embarrassment she received earlier. Y/n has no idea that every members has their own thoughts about knowing Y/n was checking them out.
