MOON GIRLS (LOONA BAND AU)

CHAPTER 14

"ah... my body ached so bad." Yves plopped down on the couch. "jiwoo, can you give me a massage?"

The other members are out somewhere so it's just Chuu and Yves here.

"i- I have something to do after this." Chuu is actually free. She stood up immediately.

"suddenly?" Yves raised her eyebrow. Chuu nodded frantically to hide her lie. "you're avoiding me." Yves leaned back crossing her arms.

"I'm not. I really have something to do!" Chuu raised her voice a little. Yves stood up and walked closer to her.

"you're busy with that manager? You seemed fine when other members asked for your company." Yves looked straight to her eyes then to her lips then back again to her eyes.

"we're not arguing about this. Why are you so sensitive about it anyway? We're working together." Feeling her heart started to race, she put her hand on Yves chest and pushed her a little.

"working..." she scoffed. "you supposed to be with Yerim often. Not her." Yves sat back at the couch. "go, then."

Chuu stare at Yves for a few seconds then went outside.

"is she okay?" Kimlip just went back from her dinner. She sat beside Yves.

"she's fine." Yves said while her eyes glued to the TV.

"looks like you're not." Kimlip leaned to Yves shoulder and closed her eyes.

"since you're here. Can you massage my back?"

-

"you seems troubled. Are you okay?" juhyeon asked the older girl.

"I'm okay. I'm just a little tired." Chuu held her warm tea with two hands to warm herself. Juhyeon nodded.

"what are you doing after this?" juhyeon asked.

"I'm meeting Yerim to discuss the unit collab."

"oh! The one with Soyeon-nim and Ryan-nim?" juhyeon got excited.

"yes. That collab. They want to make some adjustment to the song." Chuu gave her a small smile.

"wanna go now? I also need to meet Gaeul." Juhyeon offered.

"sure." they both went to the division room.

-

"Jinsoul look!" Yujin showed her hand.

"oh, it's snowing already." Jinsoul got excited.

Little bits of snow started falling on their hair. It's still a very light snowfall since it's still early December.

"let's go inside." Yujin took Jinsoul's hand and head inside the company.

They went in the studio since it's the only place they can be together for a reasonable cause.

Yujin played with her guitar and sang some songs for Jinsoul. that's how they usually spend time together.

"that's really sweet of you." Jinsoul praised the younger.

"I am sweet." Yujin confidently said.

"how's your practice? I heard you didn't do a collab with lightyears." Jinsoul asked.

"yeah, we don't think that's a good idea. There are rumours about me fighting with Chowon. I envy you for being able to collab with the other band." Yujin ran her hand through her hair.

"you will in the future if you fix your relationship with her." Jinsoul said. Yujin just scoffed.

"I'd rather have a relationship with you." Yujin said half-jokingly.

Jinsoul slapped her arm playfully. "you're still a child!"

"I'm 20. I don't really care about numbers anyway."

"oh, shut it. Did you also do a photoshoot?" Jinsoul asked her.

"we did. You wanna see? I took some from the monitor." Yujin took her phone and started looking. She then showed to her.

"wow... you look so good." Jinsoul stare at the photo. "I will start practice now before it's late."

-

Yujin opened the rooftop door and found Yves and Kimlip chatting. Before Yujin can turn back Yves called her.

"where are you going? Come talk to us." Yves turned her head to Kimlip again.

"hey, Kimlip. Nice to meet you." Yujin took her cigarette and light it. She felt awkward to talk but not to smoke since Yves is there.

"I see you smoke too. You guys really are friends." Kimlip smiled at both of them.

"we're friends even before we smoke." Yves shrugged.

"are you back from practice?" Kimlip tried to be friendly. Even though it kinda hurt to know the fact that someday Yujin might replace her.

"yeah... I was with Jinsoul." Yujin said looking at Kimlip. She just nodded at her averting her gaze somewhere else.

"don't fight over a girl." Yves put her arms around both of their neck and pulling them slightly. "focus on work instead. We have a big day ahead of us."

Yves always tried to put her mind on music even though sometimes she felt lonely. Good thing she has them.

"we're-" Yujin and Kimlip looked at each other realizing they said it at the same time.

"we're not fighting." Yujin said then taking a puff.

"good. I don't wanna lose friends." Yves let go of them. "I already lost one though."

"what happened?" Kimlip got curious. "is it jiwoo?" Yujin looked at Yves raising her eyebrow.

"I was hoping you shut your mouth but whatever." Yves looked at Kimlip but she just giggled. "it was Gahyeon."

"that's more like girlfriend." Yujin took her last puff and threw it on the ground.

"you too shut your mouth." Yves felt like the two of them would be good friends.

"Gahyeon is with Dami now, right?" Kimlip asked. "I saw the news."

"I don't care." Yves stretched. "let's go. We have a recording tomorrow."

She and Kimlip bid goodbyes to Yujin.
