Y/N’s POV
“All in us! Hello, we are ITZY.” the five girls said.
I was shocked to see all of them in person and quickly bowed and greeted them. I looked at Lia and Yuna, thanking them for coming to see me with the other members. They all chuckled, as Yeji stepped forward and shook my hands.
“Congratulations on your match earlier,” She said, but showing a rather sad face.
“Thanks, I guess?” I said.
I looked at Yeji carefully and started to think that she looked very familiar. I could not guess who she looked like as I sat back down on the bench. I then saw Yeji coming towards me and putting the wet towel on my left eye.
“Thanks Yeji but that is not necessary,” I said.
“It’s ok. I insist Y/N oppa,” she said.
Hearing call me oppa surprised me and I held her hand and asked her if we had met before.
“Don’t you know who I really am? I am Lucy. The last time we met was in 2015,” she said.
Hearing her say that surprised me as I stood up and stood a distance from her. Yeji tried to approach me but I told her to stop in her tracks. She stopped walking as I told her I wanted some time to think. I looked at the other ITZY members who showed confused faces. I closed my eyes to remember what happened in 2015 and remembered meeting Lucy. I looked at Yeji again after that I realized she was Lucy.
“This is quite a lot to process but congrats Lucy on being part of ITZY. I mean Yeji,” I said, shaking her hand.
Yeji smiled and shook my hand, asking me how I was doing. I told her I am doing fine as she asked me if we could hang out for a meal. I smiled and agreed as I noticed the girls giggling. This made me confused as I looked back at Yeji who seemed very flustered.
“Y/N oppa. I…” she stuttered.
“What is it?” I asked.
“I… I love you,” she said.
Hearing those words stunned me. I was not sure what to say or how to comprehend. I felt Yeji grabbing me by the hand telling me that she really liked me as a man but not as a fan. I quickly pushed away her hands, asking her why she said that.
“Why can’t I say that? I have liked you since the day we met! I wasn’t sure at first but I can definitely now say I really like you,” she said.
I was shocked which made me more confused. I looked at the girls, shouting at them to leave me alone. They were stunned by my shouting and quietly left. I laid back on the bench, trying to comprehend what was happening.
Yeji’s POV
After Y/N oppa shouted at us to leave, we left the room and I felt shocked. I held onto the members and started to cry.
“Don’t worry unnie, maybe he was not in the right frame of mind. We may get to see him again when we get to Singapore!” Yuna said to me.
I continued to cry and hugged Yuna back. I felt someone caressing my hair and I looked to see it was Chaeryeong. I stopped crying as the rest came forward and gave me a hug.
“Let’s go. We need to focus on the concert,” I said, wiping my tears away.
The girls nodded their heads and we left the arena.
