**Chapter 42: Caught in the Act**

The warm glow of the morning sun peeked through the blinds, casting a golden light on Ryujin and Yeji's entwined bodies. Yeji sat on the bed, her phone held to her ear, a conversation she was having with someone. Ryujin sat beside her, her eyes fixed on Yeji's face, her slender fingers tracing the curve of Yeji's leg. Yeji was wearing a flowy skirt, and Ryujin's hand slowly bent her leg, her fingers slipping under the fabric. As Yeji continued her conversation, Ryujin's fingers began to rub Yeji's clit, sending shivers down her spine. Ryujin's breath whispered against Yeji's ear, "I wanna taste you." Yeji's eyes fluttered closed, her face twisted in pleasure. She moaned softly into the phone, her voice barely audible. Just as Yeji was about to climax, the door burst open, and Lia, Chaeryeong, and Yuna walked in. Ryujin's eyes widened in shock, and she quickly threw a blanket over Yeji's exposed body. The three girls froze, their eyes locked on Ryujin and Yeji's guilty faces. Lia's voice was laced with surprise, "What's going on here?" Chaeryeong and Yuna exchanged a shocked glance, their faces pale. Yeji's face turned bright red as she quickly ended her phone call. Ryujin's eyes darted to the girls, her face sheepish. "We...we were just..." Ryujin trailed off, her voice barely above a whisper. Yuna's voice was firm, "Don't try to explain. We heard the moaning. Is this real? Are you two...together?" Ryujin and Yeji exchanged a glance, their faces serene. Yeji spoke up, her voice calm, "We've already done this sober before. We're not just drunk and confused." Chaeryeong's voice was laced with shock, "You mean you've...you've been together before?" Lia's eyes were wide, "How long has this been going on?" Ryujin smiled softly, "We've been interested in each other for a while now. We just didn't want to rush into anything." The three girls looked at each other, their faces a mix of surprise and curiosity. After a moment of stunned silence, Lia spoke up, "Well, we should get ready for dinner. We'll leave you two to...whatever you're doing." As the girls left the room, Ryujin and Yeji shared a relieved glance. They quickly got out of bed, their bodies naked and entwined. They began to get ready together, their movements fluid and intimate. As they dressed, Yeji turned to Ryujin, her eyes sparkling with mischief. "I'm so glad we're doing this. I feel like I've been waiting for so long." Ryujin's smile grew, "Me too. I love you, Yeji." Yeji's face softened, "I love you too, Ryujin." Yeji's hands moved to Ryujin's hair, styling it into a sleek look. Ryujin's hands moved to Yeji's makeup, accentuating her features. As they finished getting ready, Yeji turned to Ryujin, her eyes shining with excitement. "Ryujin, can I ask you something?" Ryujin's eyes locked onto Yeji's, "Anything." Yeji's voice was barely above a whisper, "Will you be my girlfriend?" Ryujin's face lit up with a smile, "I'd love to." Ryujin slipped into a leather jacket and a mini skirt, her outfit edgy and chic. Yeji wore a red dress, her body stunning. As they met up with the other girls, they confirmed their relationship. They ordered Korean food, and as they sat down to eat, Lia spoke up, "So, are you two officially together?" Ryujin and Yeji exchanged a glance, their faces smiling. "Yeah, we are," Ryujin replied, her voice firm. Chaeryeong's voice was laced with excitement, "We're so happy for you two! But let's keep this private, okay? We don't want the paparazzi to get a hold of this." Yuna nodded in agreement, "Yeah, let's tone it down on camera. We don't want to make a big deal out of this." Ryujin and Yeji nodded in unison, their faces grateful. "We appreciate that," Yeji said, her voice soft. As they continued to eat and chat, Ryujin and Yeji's hands found each other, their fingers intertwined. They shared a glance, their eyes burning with love and desire.
