Babymonster One Shot

Dorm Romance (Part 2)

The next day in the BABYMONSTER dorm, the teasing continued, but this time, the spotlight shifted from Asa and Rora to a different pair: Pharita and Ruka.

After a long morning of practice, the girls returned to the dorm, ready to collapse and enjoy some free time. Rami, Chiquita, and Ahyeon made a beeline for the living room, quickly claiming the comfiest spots. Asa and Rora, still basking in the aftermath of yesterday's playful teasing, headed to the kitchen to grab snacks. Pharita and Ruka, however, slipped quietly toward Ruka's room.

Ruka had been feeling extra affectionate lately, and Pharita, being her calm, sweet self, happily indulged her. As soon as they were in Ruka's room, the door clicked shut, and the two girls found themselves in a comfortable silence. Ruka sat on the bed, pulling Pharita down to sit beside her, their fingers naturally intertwining.

"You did amazing today," Pharita said softly, smiling up at Ruka.

"Thanks," Ruka replied, her voice quieter than usual. "You always know how to make me feel good about myself."

Pharita's cheeks warmed at the compliment, and she leaned in, resting her head on Ruka's shoulder. "It's easy when you're so... lovable."

Ruka's heart did a little flip, and before she knew it, she pressed a gentle kiss to the top of Pharita's head. Pharita smiled softly, leaning closer.

It wasn't long before the peaceful moment was interrupted. The door to Ruka's room burst open, revealing a smirking Asa, with Rami, Rora, Chiquita, and Ahyeon not far behind.

"Well, well, well," Asa said, crossing her arms with a mock-serious expression. "What do we have here?"

Pharita and Ruka jumped, looking like two deer caught in headlights. Pharita's face instantly turned pink, while Ruka groaned in frustration, leaning back against the headboard. "Do you guys not know how to knock?"

"We do," Rami chimed in, grinning from ear to ear. "We just choose not to."

Chiquita nodded enthusiastically. "Plus, it's more fun catching you two like this."

"Like what?" Ruka shot back, though her tone lacked any real bite. Pharita was practically hiding behind her at this point, her shyness showing.

"Like being all mushy," Asa said, her eyes twinkling with amusement. "I mean, come on, we never see you like this."

Ahyeon, who had been standing quietly by the door, smiled softly. "It's cute, though. You two look really happy."

Ruka sighed, running a hand through her hair. "Alright, alright, make your jokes. But could you at least give us some privacy?"

"Privacy?" Rami gasped, faking shock. "You two are in a shared dorm. Privacy doesn't exist here!"

Pharita, her voice barely a whisper, spoke up. "We weren't doing anything... really."

Rora raised an eyebrow. "Uh-huh. Sure, Rita-unnie. We totally believe you." She winked, causing Pharita's blush to deepen.

Ruka, sensing that Pharita was about to combust from embarrassment, decided to take matters into her own hands. "Alright, that's enough. Out!" She stood up, shooing the girls toward the door.

But Rami wasn't done yet. "Oh, come on! It's fun watching you two being all lovey-dovey."

"Yeah," Chiquita agreed, grinning. "Ruka-unnie always acts all tough, but you've totally got a soft side."

Ruka groaned, rolling her eyes. "I'm not that soft."

"Uh, yes you are," Asa countered, not budging an inch from the doorway. "Especially when it comes to Rita-unnie."

Pharita, still shy but now smiling a little, leaned into Ruka. "Maybe just a little," she admitted softly, causing Ruka to let out a small chuckle.

"Fine," Ruka sighed, wrapping an arm around Pharita's shoulders. "Maybe I am. But that's just between us, okay?"

"Too late!" Rami sang, already pulling out her phone. "I think the Monstiez need to see this side of you two."

"Don't you dare!" Ruka warned, eyes wide.

Rami laughed, waving her phone in the air. "Just kidding, just kidding! But seriously, this is gold."

"Alright, fun's over," Ahyeon said, stepping forward and gently ushering the others out. "Let's give them some peace."

Asa, Rami, Rora, and Chiquita finally relented, though not without throwing a few more teasing comments over their shoulders. "But this isn't over!" Asa called as they left. "We'll be watching you two."

Once the door closed, Ruka sighed in relief, leaning back against the bed and pulling Pharita into her arms. "They're the worst."

Pharita giggled, her earlier embarrassment fading. "They mean well."

"I know," Ruka muttered, resting her chin on Pharita's head. "But still. Can't they let us have one quiet moment?"

Pharita looked up at her, her eyes full of affection. "Well, we have this one now."

Ruka smiled softly, pressing a kiss to Pharita's lips. "Yeah, we do."

And as the dorm buzzed with the usual energy outside, Ruka and Pharita found their own little bubble of peace inside Ruka's room, content in the knowledge that no matter how much teasing they had to endure, their bond was something special-something worth cherishing.
