"Riki, this is stupid. Just don't-" She protests, not making eye contact with me. But I cut her off.
I step closer to her, my hands slipping out of their pockets. "Then say it. Tell me you want me to stop. But when I say I love you, I'm saying it, I...

September 30th, 2024.
I'm sitting with my group in the practice room. We're not dancing or anything, just waiting for someone, a group actually. But there's a specific someone in that group that isn't the best of my likings.
"Do you think flying is real?" Sunoo asks out of the blue, his index finger and thumb on his chin as he looks up and thinks.
We all look at him in confusion and amusement. "Birds fly, Sunoo." I tell him, my voice it's usual calm and deep tone.
The members chuckle at my words, Sunoo the only one who isn't. He gives me a sassy look and scoffs, per usual.
"We're here!!!!" A cheerful female voice yelled as the door swung open. It was Kailey, that girl is absolutely adorable.
They all walked in, with genuine smiles, except for Lisa. Of course. I'm not even surprised at this point. She liked all the members except for me. She didn't even bat an eye to me. It sucked dearly, fans from both of our fandoms know our hatred for each other and think it's amusing. We even get shipped sometimes, which is stupid. I'd never date her. Besides, her hair length is medium to long. I like girls with short hair, the bob cut that barely touch the shoulders.
(FUN FACT, THAT'S ACTUALLY HIS TYPE. HE SAID IT ON BUBBLE. 🤭🤭 ANYWAYS, SORRY, ENJOY THE STORY!)
We all bowed and greeted each other. But I decided to do something, to say something to Lisa. "Hi, Lisa." I muttered, low enough for her to hear. My hands made their way to my pockets as I didn't look her way, but stood next to her.
Her face darkens in annoyance, and she shakes her head slightly. "Hello, Riki." She says lazily.
I like it when people call me Riki. She called me by my real first name instead of my stage name. I don't know what is up with me. Usually I'm the one to get shy and annoyed when I'm around people I dislike. But I'm somewhat comfortable with her because of how close we are. Not close in a good way. But we're comfortable to make each other mad.
"Still looking stupidly mad as ever?" I ask, a hint of annoyance in my voice. God, I really hated her. And I'm not the one to hate anyone. But she got on my nerves. She also dressed like me, which pissed me off more. But I knew that was just her style.
"Still walking around with that plain black hair?" She retorted, rolling her eyes and crossing her arms over her chest.
There's no way she dissed my hair. I knew I was hot, but I'm a pretty humble person. I usually don't admit that I'm hot. But I do know. That's why I say, or do things that I know will fluster Engenes in lives, concerts, and fan meets.
"Honestly, I have a feeling you're just saying that because you hate me, not because you mean it." I reply back, looking down with a small smile.
She lets out a small scoff, running a hand through her curly hair. "Tch, you wish." She muttered, but in English. I knew some English, so I understood those basic words. But I'm definitely not at an intermediate level. Not even close.
I wanted to mess with her some more, but we had to go over with the staff on what the plan was for today's TikTok Collab.
I didn't really interact with her after that and we practically avoided each other, making excuses to stay as far away as possible.
Damn, this will never change, and considering how infuriating she is, I don't think I need it to.
SORRY IF SHORT AND BORING, IT WILL GET BETTER, TRUST ME. HOPE YOU ENJOYED SO FAR!
