Blast From The Past | Ryeji

[7]

I'm so in love with Hwang Yeji damn.

"Come on Ryujin! It's a Saturday!"

"And that's the mere reason why I'm staying here."

"You're just going to stay in your room the whole weekend?"

"You make it seem like it's a bad thing.." I dragged out while flipping a page of the book I was reading. Hyunjin groaned and looked at his watch,

"Fine, but when I get home you better be doing something productive," he said with a pointed look. I scoffed and looked at him in disbelief,

"Reading is productive," I stated. He rolled her eyes and walked away,

"Be safe!"

"Will do mom!"

I rolled my eyes.

After an hour I looked at the time. And seeing how it was still pretty early, I decided to go for a jog. Boy, how I regretted that.

As I was jogging around, I realized I was getting closer to the Café. And as I was near the entrance I saw two familiar figures standing in front. Recognizing who they were, I immediately stopped.

It was Kai and Yeji.

They were talking and Yeji had the widest smile. She playfully punched his shoulder as he once again made another joke that made her laugh. Why did their interaction look so natural?

Unfortunately, Kai looked my way and smiled excitedly,

"Ryujin!" I forced out a smile and jogged over to them. Yeji met my eyes and smiled, but it wasn't the same smile she had on when she was talking to him.

"Hey guys," I greeted breathlessly. Kai scrunched his nose in disgust,

"Gross, you're all sweaty," he teased. I rolled my eyes and looked down at my body. I was wearing a pair of my favorite camouflage leggings and matching sports bra. Apparently I was glistening in my sweat. I raised my eyebrows in amusement.

"Observant as always," I joked. I looked over at Yeji and chuckled seeing as she was holding a to go box,

"Chocolate muffin?" I asked. But seeing as her eyes looked as if it was in a trance I grew confused. She seemed dazed,

"Yej?" Kai called out. I had to grit my teeth. The sound of him calling her that left a bitter feeling in my ears. Yeji then blinked rapidly and looked up at me but quickly averted them to Kai,

"W-what?" She asked. Kai chuckled and patted her head and I had to watch that with a tight smile. They did look really good together. I go to repeat what I said until my phone began to go off. I looked down at my phone and smiled seeing Jisu's name,

"Excuse me real quick," I said. I backed and turned around,

"Hey Julia."

"Hey Ryu! What're you doing today?"

I looked over at Kai and Yeji. He was laughing lightly as she was playfully nudging his side. Always looking happy together. I looked away,

"Nothing, why what's up?"

"Want to grab dinner?" She asked. And without hesitation —to distract myself— I grinned,

"Sure!"

"Great! I'll pick you up at 6!"

And after exchanging a few words, we hung up. I turned back around with an excited smile.
