"Behind the Facade"

The next day, the five members of the group, Ryujin, Yeji, Yuna, Chaeryeong, and Lia, sat nervously at the table, each dressed in their own unique style for the interview. Ryujin, the group's leader, wore a sleek black pantsuit with a crisp white blouse, her hair pulled back into a tight ponytail. Yeji, the edgy one, opted for a bold red lip and a black leather jacket with distressed denim jeans. Yuna, the sweet and innocent-looking member, chose a pastel pink dress with white stockings and black Mary Janes. Chaeryeong, the group's main rapper, wore a edgy black jumpsuit with a pair of statement silver earrings, her hair styled in a messy bob. Lia, the youngest member, wore a bright yellow sundress with white sneakers, her hair tied up in a ponytail with a few loose strands framing her face. As they sat down, Ryujin and Yeji found themselves seated next to each other, exchanging a brief glance before the interview began. The two interviewers, a middle-aged man and woman, smiled warmly at the group and began to ask their questions. The first question was about their schedule and set list for their upcoming tour. Yuna replied in English, "We're really excited to perform in front of our fans again. We've been rehearsing hard to perfect our choreography and make sure our set list is the best it can be." Ryujin added in Korean, "We've also been working on some new songs that we think our fans will love." The next question was about their dynamic as a group. Chaeryeong replied, "We're like a big family. We have our disagreements, but we always manage to work things out in the end." Lia added, "And we have a lot of fun together, whether we're performing or just hanging out in the dorm." As the interview continued, the questions turned to their dorm arrangements. Yeji replied, "It's a bit cramped, but we make do. We have our own little routines and ways of making the space feel like home." Ryujin added, "And we have a lot of inside jokes that only we understand." But as the interview went on, the questions started to get a bit more probing. The male interviewer asked, "Ryujin, there have been rumors about your relationship with Yeji. Can you tell us if there's any truth to them?" Ryujin's eyes flicked to Yeji's, and she replied, "I think we've always been clear that we're just group members. But... I think we have a special bond, yeah?" Yeji's eyes met Ryujin's, and she smiled slightly. As the interview continued, Ryujin reached out and put her hand on Yeji's leg under the table. It was a subtle gesture, but it sent a spark of electricity through Yeji's body. As Ryujin's hand lingered, it accidentally slipped up to Yeji's vagina, and both girls' eyes met in a flash of surprise and amusement. They both laughed, trying to play it cool, but the tension between them was palpable. The interviewers didn't seem to notice anything out of the ordinary, but the camera caught the entire exchange. Ryujin quickly pulled her hand back, and Yeji smiled at her. Ryujin mouthed "sorry" and Yeji mouthed "it's okay" back. After the interview, the girls left feeling a bit nervous, hoping that those moments hadn't made it into the final video. But as they scrolled through their social media feeds later that day, they saw fans speculating about the moments that had been caught on camera. Ryujin sent Yeji a flirtatious apology text, "Sorry about that. I guess I got a little carried away." Yeji replied with a laughing emoji and a simple "it's okay." As they looked at each other's screens, they both knew that their relationship had just been thrust into the spotlight, and they would have to navigate the consequences of their feelings being exposed.
