Whatever It Takes (ITZY x Male Reader)

Want to get closer

(A/N):  Sup, been a long time, huh? WELL IM BACK AF BOYYYY , COME ON CLAP FOR YO BOY!

*silence*

Alright... anyway!

I'm back yall! College really ate up all the free time I had, not just for writing, but for my own personal life as well. But now, I'm officially a graduate! That's crazy!

One moment, I was a freshman, next thing I know I'm entering the real world, adulthood. And what better way to use up my new free time than actually focusing on my hobbies that mean a lot to me and actually have a COMEBACK!

Well, I'll save the speech for later! We all know what you're here for and I wouldn't delay it any longer!

So without further ado, here's Want to get closer. Let's go!

Yeji POV

"What's taking them so long?" Yuna whined, slouching her body on the sofa. "I wanna eat!"

We planned to wait until all of us were complete but it has been half an hour since Ryujin came up to call (Y/N) for dinner but neither of them had returned yet.

"Maybe (Y/N) hasn't woken up yet?" I asked more than answered. I'm kind of getting worried but I didn't want to look paranoid over something so small.

"Maybe... But I say we check on them," Lia suggested, stretching her legs as she stood up from her seat. "Calling someone out to eat doesn't take this long, especially (Y/N)."

She has a point, besides, all of them were getting really hungry and Yuna could explode in anger any second.

"All right then, you guys can start without us, I'll get those two," I told them and made my way to (Y/N)'s room.

I'm getting an odd feeling about all this and it gets stronger by the second.

When I finally got there, his door was ajar, giving me the opportunity to peek inside and see what's going on.

The room was too dark to make out anything, but I heard a faint voice coming from inside.

"I'm here for you, (Y/N)," the voice said. "It's going to be okay." I already knew who it belonged to, it was unmistakable.

"Ryujin?" I whispered to myself as I squinted my eyes to adjust to the room's dim lighting and sure enough, there they were. Ryujin cradling (Y/N) on the floor while his head was buried on her shoulder.

(Y/N) sniffled, his body shaking ever so slightly in Ryujin's embrace. The way he held onto her like a lifeline made my heart sink.

'No!' I shook my head rapidly in an attempt to remove those thoughts. 'He's hurting... and Ryujin just happened to be there and cared for him. She just did what any of us would've done.'

Peeking on such a vulnerable moment felt wrong so I decided to knock on the door to make myself known.

"Ryujin? (Y/N)? You guys in there?" I asked, trying my best to sound normal. The image of them burning slowly in my mind.

I heard shuffles and mumbles before Ryujin finally exited the room.

"U-unnie! Hey, (Y/N) just woke up, he said he'll meet us there in a minute."

"Oh, alright then," I smiled, even with the indescribable feeling boiling in my chest. "Come on, let's go eat. Yuna's getting hangry!"

"Right! Let's go," Ryujin giggled and jogged off to the kitchen while I stayed behind for a while.
