always
yerim is exhausted and still, she was convinced that she wasn’t debuted, despite her legs hurting from the amount of practice her group was going through before the promotions started. it felt underwhelming, as though she was still waiting for herself to feel a significant transformation from trainee to idol, which is a feeling that still hasn’t come yet. it’s not as though they had many fans-- yet, she hoped.
she’s snuck out of her dorm, wearing a mask and a hat just in case there was anyone around to recognize her from the various pearl stages on korean television right now and finds herself walking from the cab to heejin’s apartment, a red flush at her cheeks from the cold wind that’s traveling throughout seoul tonight.
the group is taking a small break from promotions tomorrow but she still had to be back early in the morning or her manager would have a major flip and she’d be constantly guarded. however, once yerim lays down next to heejin, she wonders if she’ll ever be able to get back up again. “i missed you,” she sighs leaning in to kiss her girlfriend on the lips. “i missed you so much. i hate being away from you so long.” yerim kisses heejin again and nuzzles closer to her, wrapping her arm around her torso, feeling warm and safe. “can we just stay here forever?”
