"Michaaaaa!" Yuna hollered from across the dorm. Your real name was Y/N L/N, but since joining JYP and popular girl group ITZY, you adopted the Korean stage name Micha. You quite liked it, it sounded nice on the tongue and the members seemed to take a liking to you as well. Especially Yuna. You and the maknae of Itzy had become the closest over the span of the couple of months that you had joined the group. She had been kind and open to you from day one, and, despite you knowing minimal Korean and her knowing minimal English, you two grew close so quickly, and so naturally. Communication had been rough for the first month or so, but nonetheless you enjoyed each other's company, and as your Korean improved, so did the friendship.
"Micha, Micha, Micha, Micha!" You heard fast-paced footsteps, and then a harsh knock on your bedroom door. Sadly, you and Yuna were not roommates, and your roommate was Chaeryeong instead. You didn't mind too much, though, because Chaeryeong was such a fun roommate, anyways.
"Yes, Yuna?" You asked, as Yuna burst through the door with a piece of paper in hand.
"I made something for you!" She exclaimed excitedly, her signature sunny grin on her face. You would honestly do anything to see that smile 24/7 (although you did most of the time; Yuna did not stop smiling). She handed the paper to you. You looked at it and smiled as your heart fluttered. It was a drawing of you and Yuna, holding hands. You both had wide grins on your faces and "Micha + Yuna" was written in Korean above your heads. You thought it was adorable.
"Yuna, this is amazing! It's so cute," You told her, watching her grin grow ever-wider. "You made this for me?"
The maknae nodded. "Yup! You can hang it up above your bed so that you're always reminded of us whenever you go to sleep!"
You thought the sentiment was beautiful, and your heart practically melted. "Thank you so much, Yuna."
"You're welcome!" She said brightly, in English, just for fun. You giggled as Yuna practically skipped out the door. Yuna loved showing off her English in front of you, a native English speaker. You sighed dreamily to yourself as you sat back down on the bed, and stared at the drawing some more.

It was movie night in Itzy's dorm, and Yeji, Ryujin, Lia, Chaeryeong, Yuna, and you were sat in front of the TV, watching a sappy romance movie set in Paris. Everybody was in their matching pajamas, and the atmosphere was lovely.
"I miss Paris," Chaeryeong sighed as the movie cut to a shot of the eiffel tower under a starry sky, and the rest of the girls laughed.
"We know, Chae, you say that, like, twice a day." Ryujin pointed out.
"I know, but ugh, it was just so pretty, and romantic, and beautiful. Micha, you should've gone with us, it was so fun. I'd give anything to go back." Chaeryeong said, and you giggled.
"I'd love to go someday. I'm happy wherever you guys are, honestly." You said, rather shyly, and the rest of the girls awwwed. Yuna scooted closer to you, wrapping her arms around your waist. Yuna's cuddles were always the best, you thought. You placed your head on her shoulder.
The six of you fell into a comfortable silence as the movie continued to play. The movie got to the part where the boy kissed the girl's hand and handed her a rose, and told her, "I've been in love with you all this time."
Yuna whispered in your ear, "I want to do that someday," She said dreamily.
"Do what?" You whispered back. The other members were too wrapped up in the movie to notice your conversation.
Yuna paused for a moment. "I want to love someone like that." She said.
"You will, one day." You yawned, suddenly feeling a bit sleepy.
You didn't hear the maknae mutter to herself under her breath, "Maybe I already do."
Once the movie ended, careful not to wake you up, Yuna carried you bridal-style back to you and Chaeryeong's room, and laid you neatly onto your bed. She kissed your cheek softly, and whispered, "Goodnight, unnie," Smiling to herself at your sleeping face.
She exited your room with a slight float to her step, feeling elated and happy. Yeji seemed to notice; she and Lia were cleaning up after the movie ended. "You look happy," She pointed out.
Yuna giggled, "I'm so happy, Yeji unnie." She smiled to herself, walking around the dorm as if she was flying. "I'm going to love!" With that, she ran down the hallway to her and Lia's room.
Lia and Yeji exchanged a look. "Do you have any idea what just happened?" She asked Lia.
"Not a clue," Lia answered, and the two went back to their cleaning.

The next couple of weeks, you and Yuna seemed to spend more time together than ever.
During dance practice, Yuna would always try to stand next to you. She'd always ask you if you needed help with the choreography, and gave you many tips and pointers on the dances. Working you into the dances for Dalla Dalla, Want It, ICY, It'z Summer, and Wannabe were hard, but you were constantly reminded it would be easier from then on because you would be in the next comeback planned for the girl group.
During your group's free time, you'd always find Yuna either on her phone, looking up something that you "weren't allowed to see!!!!", or studying English. One late night, it was one in the morning, and you were awoken from frustrated groans coming from the other room. You decided to investigate, so you got up and went to Lia and Yuna's room, where Yuna was still at her desk, elbows on the desk and hands on her head as she leaned over what looked to be an English textbook.
"Yuna?" You asked quietly, as to not wake Lia. Lia was a heavy sleeper, so it was hard to wake her up, but still.
Yuna turned around, and upon seeing that it was you, smiled softly. "Oh, hi, Micha."
"Are you still studying English?" You asked, worriedly. "It's one in the morning..."
"Oh." Yuna looked surprised. "I must've lost track of time."
You sighed. "Yuna, I know you want to learn English, and yeah, it's a really hard language, but you can't dedicate all your free time to English." You told her, putting a hand on her shoulder.
Yuna looked up at you from your seat. "I know, unnie, I'm sorry. May I ask you one thing, though?" You nodded. "How do you say this in English?" She proceeded to say a phrase in Korean that took you aback. Why would Yuna want to learn that? How many romance novels had she been reading?
"Oh," You said, surprised. "Uhm... you usually say it, like, 'you are the love of my life.'"
"You are... the love... of my li..fe." Yuna sounded it out, testing the phrase out on her tongue. Then she nodded, satisfied. "Thank you, Micha."
"You're welcome, Yuna. Now please, please go to bed." You begged her.
"Okay. Goodnight, unnie."
"Goodnight, honey." The English petname slipped out, and you mentally cursed yourself for being so tired.
Yuna blinked. "Honey?" She asked.
"It's a petname of sorts." You explained, "You use it on people you care about." Just like Yuna and her sweet like honey personality, her honey-brown hair, her voice like honey on your tongue.
"Oh. Well, goodnight, honey." She said, teasingly, giggling. You giggled too.
"Yunaaa, you're going to wake Lia up!" You whisper-yelled, giggling all the while.
Leaving Yuna and Lia's room, you felt truly happy. You found yourself practically unable to contain your feelings for the girl any longer. They'd always been there in the back of your mind, always shut down by the notion of "she's probably straight" an "she'd never like me back anyways" but now they were just unavoidable. Ugh. Too much love-talk. You practically fell back in bed, dreaming of honey.
to be continued! part two coming tomorrow <33
