Enchanted to Meet You

Today fucking sucked. Another day in the glorious world of transportation. When you were younger you never ever thought you would end up working for a trucking company, hell you didn't even know anything about trucking except for truck drivers drove 18 wheelers; but here you are, 3 years post grad and stuck in what you assume is one of the shittiest industries possible. It wasn't like you were getting screamed at by your boss or that you were breaking your back each day; honestly you had quite the cushy job, you were a Business Analyst aka you sat at your desk the entire day answering emails and working in Excel, but that didn't stop you from dreading going into work each and every day. You keep telling yourself that you're going to quit and look for a better job in Finance or some other industry that you can either make bank in or at least not deal with the all the shit that transportation and supply chain management involved; but here you were, another year in and still in trucking. At least work was close

You were halfway back to your apartment when you hear a car honking at you. Turning around, you see a silver Porsche with probably illegally tinted windows. Ignoring it, you keep walking but then suddenly the car speeds up, pulls over, and a blonde girl with a face mask comes sprinting out of the car and grabs you before shoving you into the passenger seat. Still confused, your eyes scan the interior of the car before the blonde girl slides into the drivers seat and slams the door shut. While taking off the facemask, you hear the girl yell at "Y/N, why did you ignore me you dick". Recognizing the voice, you turn and are met with a pair of brown eyes staring at you.

Shin Yuna, your childhood friend and more importantly, at least to the rest of the world, Yuna, the maknae and visual of Itzy.

"Yah, why are you mad at me? A random car with tinted windows was honking at me, what am I supposed to do?"

Seeing that she was realizing that honking at someone while in a tinted car probably wasn't the smartest thing to do, you press your point

"Plus, how was I supposed to know it was you? You don't own a car, and you don't even have your driver’s license?!"

Smirking causes you to know you're in the right, which is often the case with Yuna, you are caught off guard when you feel a harsh slap to the back of your head.

"Dick"

"What the fuck Yuna"

"Mur mur mur mur mur Yuna" is all you hear back

Rolling your eyes because this is also par for the course when it comes to Yuna. No matter how good your argument is or how much evidence you have to back up your side, it doesn't matter because she will just mock you or smack you until you give in.

"Just buckle up Y/N. I wanted to have dinner and drinks with my friend since I just passed the test to get my driver’s license, and I bought a new car; but now you're being an asshole"

"How am I being the asshole!" you ask/yell.

Not even bothering to respond with words, you are met with the stone cold stare of the maknae of Itzy.

Backing down since you realized it wasn't worth the argument, not because you were scared of course, you buckle up silently.

"That's what I thought" Yuna said while smirking before hitting the gas, showing you what the 0 to 60 in a brand new Porsche felt like.

"Now what do you think of the car?" she asked while you were fighting for your life seeing her speed past people she would be deem going to slow aka only 10mph over the speed limit.

Holding onto your buckle for dear life, you reply "Honestly, it's insane Yuna. I mean obviously I know you make good money being an idol and all but holy shit a Porsche as your first car. That's insane. But when did you even pass your driver’s test?"

"Yesterday, I scheduled it a few weeks ago but didn't want to tell you since I didn't want to tell you if I failed it...again"

Smirking, you reply "Why would you not want to tell me about it? It's not like you failed it 3 other times. I mean seriously who would fail 3 times in a row".

Slamming the brakes, you are whipped forward while clutching the strap of your buckle, Yuna turned to you "Do you want a free meal or no?"

Meekly, you respond "Sorry sorry, yes I do"

Yuna, once again facing forward, says "Good"

Muttering under your breath, you say "If we make it there that is" which earns you another slap to the back of your head.

20 minutes later, you two arrive at a swanky restaurant, that you are most definitely underdressed for.

Yuna puts on her face mask again before exiting the car while you throw your work backpack in the backseat and exiting yourself. Yuna hands the keys to the valet before grabbing your hand and dragging you into the restaurant. For most guys, this would cause them to start having a panic attack since one of the most beautiful women in the world was holding your hand, and while you would like to say that you are used to it, even after all the years, you still aren't. You know in the your head that Yuna is a super touchy person, especially with you, and that there is a literally 0% chance that this is romantic; but that can't stop your heart from beating a little bit faster and you looking around like you are trying to find the hidden camera for this prank. While you were mentally preoccupied, Yuna had led you into the restaurant and you two had been seated by the host in a private room that Yuna had most likely booked through her company JYP.

Still holding your hand, Yuna asked "So what are we drinking tonight?"

Realizing she was talking to you and where you were, you quickly separated your hand from hers and grabbed the drink menu; not noticing of course the annoyed look on Yuna's face from the sudden separation, "hmmmm, do you just want to start with a nice Chianti? We can grab other stuff later if we want"

Taking off her mask again, she replied "Sure as long as we get Soju"

Sighing, you reply "Soju again Yuna? You know I have PTSD from that"

"Y/N you only blacked out twice and that was in college plus I wasn't even there, so it doesn't count. Plus, I'm paying for dinner and I'm me, so we're having Soju tonight"

"Fine, but I'm only having a little. That shit can fuck me up fast"

"It's Friday! Live a little old man"

"Hey, I'm only 3 years old than you Yuna"

"You act like your 40 though"

"Fine, but I'm still going to pace myself"

"Yay, plus if you go too hard, you can always stay over"

"Yuna, you live with 4 other girls in the JYP dorms and I'm 25."

"So? You've done it before plus all the girls love you"

"Yeah yeah, we'll see how the night unfolds"

One very expensive dinner and a quick stop at the liquor store later, you are back at Yuna's dorm with her group members playing a Truth or Dare (not your choice, but who could say no to 5 beautiful women saying they want to play it).

Ryujin, being the bringer of chaos, had decide to cause mayhem by saying some of the most insane dares you had ever heard, causing almost everyone who was asked by her to forfeit and drink, with you of course being the main victim of her torment. Several rounds in, you were once again on the spot with Ryujin being the asker. Knowing that you were already drunk as shit and that you needed a break from drinking, when she asked "Truth or Dare", you chose "Truth" which was answered by an echo of boos from the girls.

With an evil glint in her eye, she said "Rank us from prettiest to least pretty and no taking a penalty instead of answering"

Looking around at the other girls hoping for one of them to save you, you were met with 8 eyes staring at you with anticipation. Knowing you had no escape, you said "okay, please no one be offended cause remember this is one, very insignificant man's opinion.... okay who I think and by no means is true or absolute, is the prettiest to least pretty ... Yeji ... Yuna ... Chaeryeong ... Ryujin ... Lia" before bracing for impact with your hands up.

After a few seconds of no one crying or attacking you, you take your hands away from your face and look around and see everyone smirking before Ryujin yelled "Ha! I told you he liked Yeji the most" before sticking out her hand at Lia. "Ugh, so predictable" Lia said before giving Ryujin $20. Stunned, you look at Chaeryeong who just smiles at you and then at Yeji who just nods her head like she knew it and then finally at Yuna who just stares at you blankly before standing up and hitting you upside the head for the 3rd time in one day.

You yell out "What the hell Yuna?"

"You're my friend Y/N. You're supposed to say I'm the prettiest" she yelled back before getting reprimanded by Yeji for freaking out at you.

You turn and see Ryujin lying on the floor cackling at the outburst and following scolding. You shake your head and once again turn back to Yuna who pours you another shot of Soju as an apology.
