astran
i'm gonna fucking strangle you

changbin
uh i'm gonna pull a hyunjin and say no comment

Izzy stared at the chat. Amy wasn't even home so she couldn't go tell her to back off a bit and she wasn't answering Izzy either. She didn't know how Amy could've gotten some of this information. Besides, Ryan had only ever told Izzy that he was gay, so why did Amy think otherwise?

She was about to go find Ryan to make sure he was alright when a message came through that wasn't from the groupchat. It wasn't Amy, but instead Hyunjin.

hyunjin
hey, is amy right about all of that stuff?

izzy
i think so but i don't know how she knows

hyunjin
cause the thing is, she's right about us, at least from my point of view

izzy
what do you mean?

hyunjin
i'm not flirting with you for no reason

i like you a lot izzy

izzy
oh my god

jinnie, i like you too

i just wasn't sure if i would ever have a chance

hyunjin
you have more than a chance with me beautiful

would you... want to be my girlfriend?

izzy
YES

i would love to be yours

hyunjin
and i'm yours

i'm gonna have to get you on the plane with astran and soomin

izzy
plane? what are you talking about

hyunjin
astran didn't tell you?

he's flying here with soomin to start recording and promoting in two weeks

izzy
...i'm gonna go have a chat with him

talk to you soon baby

hyunjin
bye darling <3

Astran glanced at his phone buzzing on the table next to him. "Hold on chat, I have to take this call," he said, then muting his stream and answering Izzy.

"Hey what's up?"

"You're leaving for Seoul in two weeks and you didn't tell us?!" Izzy shouted. Astran could hear the sound of a door opening on the phone and he immediately knew one of her roommates had heard.

"He's doing what?" Astran heard faintly. It sounded like Ryan.

"We only just organized it yesterday–" he tried to explain.

"So you had a full day to tell us and yet I had to hear it from my boyfriend?" Izzy said pointedly.

"I was going to tell you–wait your boyfriend?" Astran exclaimed.

The blond practically heard Izzy's eyeroll over the phone. "Yeah, me and Hyunjin are dating now, but that's not what this is about!"

"Damn congrats," Ryan said.

"Thank you," she said quickly. "Back to the point. What were you thinking Astran?"

Astran stared at his chat speculating about who he was speaking to before answering. "Iz, it's not that big of a deal. I was going to announce it when everyone came over for dinner tonight but Hyunjin had to go and tell you early."

Izzy's huff sounded farther away than it had been before and Ryan's voice came through clearer. "As long as you weren't just gonna dip without saying anything," he mumbled.

"Of course not Ry." Astran's voice softened at the brunette's tone. "I have to get back to my stream, okay? I'll see you later."

"Bye Az." Ryan pressed the hang up button and looked at Izzy, who was thankfully no longer fuming.

notes!

i particularly like the title of this chapter, i think it's clever :)
