High School Sweet Hearts (Ryeji)

Chapter 16

"Alright, now we gotta be quick, alright?" Ryujin whispered to her as she unbuckled her seatbelt. Yeji looked curiously through her window to see a tall building. "Uhm, why?" She asked.

Ryujin only smirked. "We're gonna go stargazing." She merely said and got out of the car, making Yeji follow her. "Wait, you can stargaze here?" Ryujin shook her head. "Nope."

She took the brunette's hand in hers and made their way to the back of the building. "Hey, I don't think this will be a good idea." Yeji said unsurely when she looked around her to see darkness. "It's getting pretty late." Ryujin looked over at her with pleading eyes. "Please, Yeji. I promise it'll all be worth it once you see what's up there."

Yeji huffed, but knowing that she could never say no to Ryujin, she silently complied. The pair walked right up to a tall fence, and Ryujin smiled at Yeji before stepping back slightly and jumping onto it. Yeji opened her mouth in shock and before she could even scold Ryujin for doing it, the silver haired woman climbed her way over it and unlocked it.

"Come on." She said and Yeji brought her hand back to Ryujin's, immediately intertwining their fingers. The younger woman forcefully opened up a rusty looking door and entered, making sure her footsteps were soft and light. She looked behind her shoulder and signaled for Yeji to walk, and the brunette listened once again.

They made their way up a half finished staircase and reached the very top. Ryujin bust open the small door and walked out, smiling widely as she took in the sky.

Yeji grumbled under her breath as she was forced to crouch to get through, but was silent when she stood beside Ryujin and looked up.

There was the night sky, painted with hues of purple and blue, and tiny specks of white, bright stars. Ryujin said nothing, but walked forward until the edge of the building. She sat down and let her legs dangle over the edge.

"This is beautiful." Yeji finally breathed out and sat beside Ryujin. She looked up at the younger woman, who was still staring at the beautiful scene in front of her.

"Thank you." Yeji said gratefully and leaned her head onto Ryujin's shoulder. The latter wrapped her arm around the tiny brunette and held her tight.

"It's a cold night, huh?" Ryujin said when a particularly cold burst of air breezed past them. As if on cue, Yeji shivered and nodded in agreement.

She pecked Yeji's forehead and grinned happily at how well the date had gone tonight.

"So, did you enjoy today? Because I did." Ryujin asked, and Yeji smiled widely. "Of course I did. It was amazing. You are amazing." Yeji said and leaned in closer to her.

"This day was absolutely incredible. Thank you." Ryujin brought Yeji's hand up and placed light, fluttery kisses on the back of it. "No, thank you for giving me a chance." She responded and even in the dark, she saw Yeji's cheeks brighten up.

"How did you know I liked constellations?" Yeji changed the subject, afraid she would probably turn into putty in Ryujin's hands if she kept treating her how she is. "Hmm?" Ryujin hummed in confusion and tilted her head to the side.

"Uhm, just intuition?" She said unsurely and Yeji chuckled. "Of course you didn't know." She said knowingly and turned her head back to face the beautiful sky that had now dimmed down slightly.

And suddenly a bright light entered from the corner of her eyes. Yeji opened her mouth in awe as she saw the shooting star emerge from the sky.

"Ryujin-" She whipped her head around to tell Ryujin, but she didn't need to as she caught the silver haired woman staring straight at her, with nothing but adoration sparkling in those orbs.
