"Strolling Through the Seoul Streets"

Part 4

The warm sunlight cast a gentle glow over the bustling streets of Seoul as ITZY made their way through the crowded sidewalks, laughing and chatting as they went about their second off day. The smell of freshly brewed coffee wafted through the air, enticing them to stop at a quaint café on the corner. The vibrant colors of the street art and advertisements added a pop of color to the scene, and the sound of K-pop music drifted from a nearby storefront. "I'm so down for some shopping today," Shinwon exclaimed, her eyes scanning the crowded streets for the perfect spot to start their day. "Me too," Yeji agreed, her hair bouncing with each step. "I need to get some new outfits for our next comeback." Ryujin grinned mischievously. "I know just the place. Follow me." As they wandered through the streets, the group split up into smaller cliques, exploring the city and taking in the sights. Chaeryeong and Yuna stopped to admire a display of traditional Korean clothing, while Lia and Shinwon popped into a trendy boutique. Meanwhile, Ryujin and Yeji lagged behind, enjoying the warm sunshine and easy conversation. They strolled hand in hand, taking in the lively atmosphere. "I'm so glad we're doing this today," Ryujin said, squeezing Yeji's hand. "We needed a break from the chaos." Yeji smiled, her eyes sparkling with amusement. "Definitely. I'm so down for a relaxing day." As they continued their shopping spree, the group eventually reconvened at a popular café, where they spent hours sipping coffee and chatting. The atmosphere was lively, with the sound of laughter and conversation filling the air. After a few hours of caffeine and conversation, the group decided to move on to their next activity: a visit to a trendy photo booth. As they waited in line, they chatted excitedly about the silly poses they would strike and the memories they would make. When it was finally their turn, the photo booth attendant explained that they could only take pictures two at a time. The group eagerly paired off, with Yuna and Lia going first. As they emerged from the booth, giggling and holding up their photos, the rest of the group cheered and clapped. Chaeryeong and Shinwon were next, followed by Lia and Chaeryeong. Finally, it was Ryujin and Yeji's turn. As they stepped into the booth, Ryujin grinned mischievously. "Let's take a silly picture," she said, winking at Yeji. Yeji rolled her eyes good-naturedly. "What did you have in mind?" Ryujin leaned in, her voice low and playful. "How about we pretend to kiss?" Yeji laughed, her cheeks flushing. "You're such a goofball, Ryujin." But as they posed for the photo, Ryujin did suggest a kiss – as a joke, of course. Yeji playfully pushed her away, and they both burst out laughing. As they moved on to their final photo, however, they hesitated. The atmosphere in the booth seemed to shift, and for a moment, they just looked at each other. And then, without saying a word, Ryujin leaned in and pressed her lips to Yeji's. The kiss was soft and gentle, but it sent shivers down Yeji's spine. As they pulled away, gasping for air, Yeji's eyes locked onto Ryujin's. For a moment, they just stared at each other, the tension between them palpable. And then, they both smiled, their faces flushed with excitement. The photo booth attendant called out to them, and they emerged from the booth, holding up their final photo. The rest of the group cheered and clapped, oblivious to the charged atmosphere between Ryujin and Yeji. But as they walked away from the booth, Yeji couldn't help but steal a glance at Ryujin, her heart still racing from their unexpected kiss.
