Ryujin x Reader - 'School Festival'

"You have got to be fucking me."

"Excuse me?!"

"And, there they go," Chaeryoung sighed, popping up on a desk to sit.

"You put Yuna in the relay race?! What about the soccer match going on at the EXACT same time?!" you semi-yelled at Ryujin. 

"I thought we'd have a better chance of winning the relay race with Yuna, loud mouth."

"Yuna is getting a SCHOLARSHIP for SOCCER. Why the fuck would you put her anywhere besides every SOCCER event during the festival?!"

"H-hey, guys, it's really fine-"

"Leave it Yuna," Yeji's low register voice assured her. "This isn't actually about you."

"What?" Yuna tilted her head. "What is it about?"

"Their rivalry," Jisu piped in. "(Y/N) and Ryujin have been fighting over control as class representatives since our first year." Yuna made an "oh" sound as she looked back to the two arguing by the board. 

You and Ryujin were supposed to be organizing your class's schedule for the field day at your school this year. As usual, it was taxing and frustrating given the power struggle between the two of you.

Your first day of high school set the stage for your career long rivalry. From the moment the teacher asked if anyone would like to be the representatives in the student council, it began. To be exact, you did not actually care too much about leadership and all that mumbo jumbo. You needed something to put on your college resume. 

But something about Ryujin's stiffness around you made you think she saw you as competition. Anytime you tried to get close or have a friendly conversation, she closed off. With the lack of respect you felt she had for you, the relationship only grew more strained. 

"Fine, I'll put her back on Soccer, but you're doing the relay," she finally had enough.

"Yeah, that's fine. That's how it was supposed to be originally," you mumbled that last part. She definitely heard and gave you a sharp frown.

---------------------------The day of the festival----------------------------

You crossed the finish line, panting like a dog and falling to your knees.

"Maybe Ryujin had a point," Jisu chuckled from above. You opened an eye to look at her before you closed it in exhaustion again.

"Don't even star-"

"Yeah, maybe I did have a point." You did not need to see her to know she was smirking, probably with her arms crossed.

"You made a good effort, (Y/N)!" Chaeryoung crouched and patted your shoulder.

"Yeah, you tried hard!" Yuna cheered.

"You were in dead last place by an entire minute."

"Yeji!"

"What? It's the truth," Yeji shrugged. Finally getting up to your feet you took a towel Jisu handed you and wiped away your sweat. 

"Yeah, okay, that was bad, but I bet Ryujin will do worse on the pair-up obstacle course," you glared at her. She laughed.

"Just watch me."

If only she knew what fate had in store.

-------------------------------------------------

It was time. You and the others stood under the tent beside some other students to watch the obstacle course event. 

"So what is this?" Yuna inquired.
