"you're off the show" JJ scoffs. "excuse me, what?!"
he chases after moonbyul, grabbing her shoulder. the girl turns abruptly, her jaw tense, her gorgeous features that are usually adorned by the softest of smiles shaped in an intense scowl JJ wasn't sure he had ever seen, not directed at him at least.
"you heard me Jay. i tried so hard to reason with you and you do not want to cooperate. you're off the show." she crosses her arms. "i don't understand! you're removing me and not riki?" he protests.
at the mentions of riki's name her expression darkens, the corners of her mouth tightening, her gaze pinning JJ in place with a stormy intensity that made him regret opening his mouth.
it had been like that for the past week. anyone who knew moonbyul and how much of a sweetheart she always was would tell you that she had become unrecognizable.
"i talked to riki. i talked to you. riki is behaving, you are not. you're off the show, end of the discussion." moonbyul turns on her heels, leaving him standing there, stunned and speechless, as she walks away with an air of finality.
he realizes, perhaps for the first time, that moonbyul had really reached her breaking point. it was clear that she had made up her mind, with the depth of her determination and the seriousness of her decision, there was nothing anyone could do to change it.
moonbyul flops down on the chair, massaging her forehead. the show was in two weeks, she had to find somebody to play Caesar and she had to find them quick.
"moonbyul" a familiar voice calls out, with a foreign tenderness. riki sits cross legged on the ground right in front of her. "can we talk?"
moonbyul glances down at him and shakes her hand "not you too for god's sake, ive had enough get lost"
she stands up to leave and riki grabs her ankle, nearly making her fall. she veers around, grabbing his ear and pulling him up on his feet. "do you wanna fucking die nishimura?!"
riki bit back his amused grin, convinced that it would only throw gasoline into the fire. "negotiable, but i would really appreciate it if you let go of my ear, i just got a new piercing"
he really couldn't take her seriously. to him she was just a feisty little thing with a fervent spirit, she had an undeniable charm. riki loved making her angry. he was a sucker for the way her cheeks turned pink, the way her jaw tensed and her brows furrowed in frustrated.
"listen, i am over you, i am over everyone in this room and i am over this damned show, so unless you want to talk about who else could play caesar, do not fucking bother me got it?" moonbyul pokes his shoulder with her finger. riki raised his eyebrows at her tone.
