The music was loud as you stepped into the girls' practice room. Yeji and the girls have been spending the last few days hard at work here. With big things happening for ITZY, the girls are working their butts off.

For you, it was yet another morning when you awoke to a lonely bed. Yeji leaves early and comes home late.

You understand, but you tend to worry a little about her, and you decided to stop in and see how she was doing since there was no chance of her hearing her phone over the loud music.

The music stopped and the girls had a few minutes to take a break and catch their breath.

As soon as Yeji locked eyes with you, her tired expression seemed to fade a little and her eyes lit up.

She rushed to you and threw her arms around you for a hug. You giggled against her neck as she spun you around playfully, unaware that the girls were watching both of you with bright smiles as they sipped on their water.

"What are you doing here?" She asked as she put you back on your feet. Her arms were wrapped around you, holding you securely so you couldn't leave her embrace.

"I know you've been working hard so I wanted to come and see how you're doing. I knew there was no chance you'd hear your phone and I wanted to make sure you're alright."

"Well, I prefer this over a phone call, anyways." She grinned and kissed your forehead. "I'm doing okay, though. Thank you."

You kissed her cheek softly, only to find her staring at you with her eyebrows furrowed as you pulled back.

"What?" You chuckled.

"You missed." She said and puckered her lips cheekily.

You leaned in, pushing your lips onto hers for a sweet kiss. You knew she had to get back to work in just a moment or two, so you planned on just laying one sweet kiss to her lips before you'd pull away.

But you should've known better. Your kisses are sadly scarce these days. You only tend to share them in the morning before she leaves, if she wakes you, or at night when she gets home.

So this one kiss was enough to make you weak in the knees and made you both want a few more.

You got caught up in the taste of her lips and the way they moved so passionately yet so romantically against your own.

You looped your arms around her neck to pull her closer as she began to brush her hand along the small of your back.

"Yeji?" Ryujin spoke as she clapped to try to get her attention, only for Yeji to be too caught up in the kiss to even realize they were all still in the same room.

"Yeji? Yeji!" She yelled as she walked up to Yeji, tapping her shoulder repeatedly.

Yeji groaned against your lips and pulled away, frowning at you when she realized it was time to get back to practice.

"I gotta get back to work." She sighed and pecked your lips softly.

"I understand. Remember to stay hydrated. I love you."

"I love you more." She smiled and pinched your cheek before letting you go.

She walked back across the room to join the girls, only to turn back around and run back to you to steal one more sweet kiss from your lips.

"Thanks for making my day better by stopping in. You're amazing. I'll be home earlier tonight, so pick out a movie for us to watch and prepare to be cuddled all night long."

She pecked your lips twice before going back to the girls, who teased her and cooed over how cute the both of you are.

Yeji watched you leave with the biggest smile on her face, wondering how she got so lucky to have you.
