Neighbor | S.Ryujin [Under Editing]

Third Person

In the morning, Leia had woken up extra early, hopping off her bed in a tired manner as she threw herself into the bathroom to start on her quick morning routine. To say that she had a good sleep would be a lie considering how throughout the night, she kept on stirring around in her bed, never getting a second of rest in her mind when all she could think of was Shin Ryujin.

Although Ryujin and Heiran is dating,
Leia's feelings for Ryujin remain to stay the same. Actually, it might've grown even more since last night.

She looks at herself in the mirror and her self-esteem dropped below sea level. Her lack of sleep contributed to her appearance now: haggard, tired and distraught.

Soon enough, after making sure she looked decent without the messy out hair and visible eyebags, Leia grabbed her bag and swung it over her shoulder before darting right out of her room and came scampering out of her dorm to reach the school.

"YOU-"

Leia stood frozen like a statue when the first person she saw walking outside was someone she would never expect to see here. Not Ryujin. Not any ITZY members. But Heiran.

"Why are you here?..." Leia's voice cracked from shock.

"I'm Ryujin's girlfriend, I have the right to be here!" Heiran spat. "And why do you live here?!!"

"It's my dorm."

"I told you to leave her alone, didn't I? I told you to get away from her but now you're telling me that you live next to her?!" Heiran's jealousy got the best of her.

"So what?" Leia rolled her eyes. She didn't want to deal with this type of drama the moment she woke up but Heiran didn't let her walk away in peace.

"You whore, don't you know how to listen to your sunbaenim?!" Heiran used all of her force to yank Leia back by the arm. Her sharp nails pierced into the younger girl's skin. 

"I want you to move out, RIGHT NOW."

"Are you crazy?" Leia holds back the urge to push the other girl off from the floor that they're on right.  "This is my house, why should I leave?"

"You should before I make you do so, bitch." Heiran cursed.

"Well, I would like to see you try then." Leia tries to remain her cool. After all, staying cool and being positive are the traits that Lia and Leia got from their Canadian parents. 

"You have feelings for her, don't you?" Heiran asked as her blood boil with rage. Leia stayed quiet without saying a word. The silence is enough for Heiran to assume that the answer is yes.

"Ah, so that's why you want to be so close to her! You probably want to seduce Ryujin and steal her away from me right you b-"

"What's going on?" Ryujin finally opened the door. "Heiran? What are you doing here?"

"Ryujin, how come you never said that girl live right next to your door?!" Heiran shouted.

"Heiran." Ryujin sighed as she massaged her temples. "Just what do you think you're doing right now?"

"Answer me Ryujin, what is that bitch to you?"

"Heiran, don't you ever call Leia by that word," Ryujin growled at her immature girlfriend. She never knew Heiran have such a nasty personality like this.

"I'll see you at school, unnie," Leia said as she tries to escape from this messy scene. She fastened her pace and walk out of the place.

"Yah-" Just when Heiran was about to about to yank Leia back by the hairs, Ryujin grabbed her hands and preventing her from laying a finger on Leia.

"Ryujin, why are you defending her?!" Heiran yelled, her face was red due to all the madness.

"Because you're making a scene and being immature right now!" Ryujin couldn't believe she called her this person her girlfriend.

"Immature? You call me immature when all I did was just confronting to the girl that I don't trust being close to you?!"

"If you're going to keep acting like this then forget it, I'm not putting up with this." Ryujin lets go of her girlfriend's hand, let out a heavy exhale before walking away.

"Yah, Ryujin!" Heiran called but Ryujin didn't give a single glance back. Because she doesn't give a shit, she doesn't give a fuck right now.

"Aigoo, why did you call me to come out here?" Yujin sat across from her in the library. It was break time which means that Ryujin and Heiran are probably in the cafeteria with other ITZY members and Leia didn't want to see them.

"To talk, since you're the only one who knows about me and Ryujin." Leia sighed while resting her chin on her hand.

"Why, did something happened?" Yujin asked, opening some random book in the process.

"Heiran found out that we are neighbors. She made such a big scene in the morning." She told Yujin.

"Tch, as expected from that crazy girl." Yujin shrugged. "I feel so bad for Ryujin unnie."

"But...." Yujin slammed the book back down and lean closer to Leia. "Did you notice something odd about their girlfriends relationship?"

"No, not really." Leia shook her head.

"They never hold hands, kiss, or hug," Yujin stated. "You know, Ryujin used to say that she would love to cuddle with her future lover but she doesn't even touch Heiran."

"Tsk, how would you know that? They might have done that privately." Leia's heartaches just by the thought of it.

"I doubt that." Yujin leans back and settles down in her chair.

"Can you just set me up on a date with someone from IZ*ONE? I want to get over Ryujin quickly!"

"You like Ryujin??" Lia yelped before Leia quickly stood up and cover her mouth.

"Juliana shhh, this is a library please be quiet!" Leia pleaded.

"Jaein-ah...."

Lia removes Leia's hand that over her mouth. Leia was stiff and shock and when Lia suddenly pulled her to her embrace, making Yujin laughed at Lia's exaggeration.

"Poor you!" Lia patted her back. "You must have been sad, why didn't you told me earlier?"

"Aish." Leia sighed. "Unnie, I'm fine."

"You never are when you said 'I'm fine'" Lia said.

"It's okay, you can cry on my shoulder."

"Lia!" Leia pushed herself out of her arms and sit back down.

"Great. One more person knows my secret."
