Even The Darkest Stars Still Burn... (M!Reader X AESPA)

Chapter Two: One Problem Down

Previously...

Aki: "Next order of business is–"

RING

The girls lose their smiles quickly.

Aki: "Him."

You tensed up as Aki stood up.

Aki: "I'll get it."

The girls looked like a mix of nervousness and anger. You wondered what he would be like. Aki opened the door and the sounds of cases rolling resonated through the room.

???: "HEY HEY HEY!"

The ITZY girls walked in stone faced while there was a flamboyant man who walked ahead of them. He was wearing a bunch of designer clothing as well as fancy sunglasses.

???: "WHAT'S UP AKI!"

He went over to him and gave him an emphatic side hug. Aki did not reciprocate that energy at all, instead laughing awkwardly.

Aki: "Hey Minjun..."

Minjun seemed to not be too put down by his awkwardness.

Minjun: "Aww don't be such a downer. Hey girls, hope you all missed me."

He shot a flirtatious look to the girls, who looked all unimpressed.

Minjun: "It's alright, I'll make you girls all fall in love with me one day. And who's this generic looking piece of shit?"

He pointed at you. You just looked at him incredulously.

'What the fuck?'

He walked up to you as the girls and Aki watched in anticipation. Minjun pointed his finger and started to poke you, hard, emphasizing every word.

Minjun: "Who. Are. You."

Y/N: "I—"

Aki: "He's their new tennis coach."

Aki swoops in to answer for you. Minjun suddenly smiles.

Minjun: "Oh! Sorry about that bud, didn't know."

He stopped pressing you and started to size you up.

Minjun: "You don't like you could play at all, you must the fan who beat that weak ass 'prodigy'"

He put air quotes. At this point, you were flabbergasted that someone could act like that . You could only meekly nod. He suddenly yawns before checking his phone.

Minjun: "Alright, I'm gonna go nap for a bit. Whatever room I pick is mine, girls go unpack."

He stretches before walking in the hallway.

Yeji: "I'm so sorry about him..."

JYP's resident catgirl came up to you. She bowed profusely as the rest of her group followed her action.

Y/N: "Oh no it's okay, I just didn't think he was so... cocky."

Yeji: "I hope you will still continue to teach us."

Y/N: "No worries, of course I will."

She bows once more before turning to her girls.

Yeji: "Let's go, unpack. I believe we were assigned the last two rooms."

They roll their luggage over to the hallway.

Aki: "Y/N, I'm so sorry..."

Y/N: "It's fine."

Aki: "Are you sure? Your fists are clenched."

You look down at your hands. You released the pressure you were holding.
