Third Person's PoV

After the call with Yeji, there was an awkward silence between the two girls. So Lia closed her eyes and laid her head in the crook of Ryujin's neck, pretending to be asleep. The cool morning breeze, the warm embrace and the intoxicating scent of Ryujin became a lullaby for Lia. So by the time Ryujin reached Yeji's doorstep, Lia had fallen asleep for real.

"Yeji-ah~" Ryujin heard a lady called her old friend when she was about to knock on the door.

"Yes Mom?" She heard Yeji replied.

Her eyes widened in surprise. Yeji's mom is back?!

I was wrong...her mother didn't leave her. I'm so happy for you Yeddeong unnie. She looked through the window, seeing how happy Yeji was as she spoke with her mother.

It must be great to have a mother who loves you. Ryujin looked down.

The sight of the pink girl sleeping soundly in her arms made her felt a wave of comfort.

She carried Lia to her so-called home, and tucked her in gently on her bed in her room.

Lia woke up, finding herself laying on a really comfortable bed in an unfamiliar room covered with a blue blanket on her.

Lia was about to scream and run for her life, because she thought Ryujin left her at the jogging trail and she was kidnapped, until she looked out of the window and recognised the house opposite her.

"Wait...this is Ryujin's house...oh my holy guacamole! I'm in Ryujin's room!" She squealed before covering her mouth while looking around, feeling embarrassed by her own action.

She started exploring Ryujin's bedroom. She found her bedroom to be similar to a typical high schooler's bedroom, with a study desk, book shelves, a night stand and, of course, a bed. Except the framed photograph sitting on the night stand. It seemed pretty unusual, as if the photograph was folded so that it only shows two young girls.

Lia picked up the photograph and scrutinised it. "God. She's just as beautiful since young. This must be her sister. She was beautiful too..." Lia mumbled to herself. She realised that the faces that were folded away were the faces of Ryujin's parents. Then she remembered what Yeji had told her.

Being the curious strawberry she was, Lia wanted to open the photo frame to see how Ryujin's parents look like. She managed to take out the photograph from the frame, but before she could open the folded photograph, a familiar voice spoke.

"What are you doing?"

Lia flinched in shock, almost dropping the frame and the photograph she was holding behind her back, as she turned around to face a sexy Ryujin with wet hair and a towel around her shoulders.

Wait what?! Did you just call her sexy?! Lia questioned herself, aware of her excited heart.

"N-nothing. Just looking around. Nice room hehe." Lia flashed her eye smile.

Why does she look so nervous? Ryujin thought, her left brow perked up in suspicion.

"Hmm are you hiding something?" Ryujin asked when she noticed that Lia seemed to be holding something behind her back.

(A/N: If y'all read the question in Lia's voice, congratulations y'all are ITZY trash😂)

"No!" Lia exclaimed. "I'm not holding anything in my hand."
