- Shin Ryujin.-

The click of the door lock sounds in the silence of your room like a gunshot. You turn off the light, sit on the floor with your back pressed against the closed door, and hug your knees. Those sharp, unfair words you and Ryujin just screamed at each other in the hallway are still ringing in your ears. It was the worst fight of your lives. At first, a heavy silence falls behind the door, and then the agitated whispers of the other ITZY members, who became involuntary witnesses to your scandal, reach your ears.

"Ryujin, do you even think about what you're saying?! Go and apologize right now!" Yeji's strict but quiet voice is heard.

"Leave me alone... They locked themselves in," Ryujin answers hoarsely and dully. From the sounds, it's clear she is sitting right on the floor on the other side of the door, her forehead pressed against the wood. There is no longer any anger in her voice, only dull despair and oncoming tears. A soft, cautious knock sounds on your door. It's Lia.

"Hey... Please, open up. We brought you your favorite tea. Ryujin is a fool and already bitterly regrets what she said, we can all see it. Talk to us, come on..."

"We're not leaving until you open up," Chaeryeong adds quietly, rustling a box of tissues under the door. "Yuna is actually sitting here crying because you two fought so badly."

"Please open up..." Yuna sniffs.

Five girls are stuck in the hallway by your locked room. Ryujin is sitting flush against the door, afraid to take the first step, while the others beg you to let them in.

The click of the door lock sounds like a gunshot in the silence of your room. You turn off the light and sit on the floor, leaning your back against the closed door, hugging your knees. Your ears still ring with the harsh, unfair words you and Ryujin just shouted at each other in the hallway. It was the worst fight of your lives. A deafening silence reigns behind the door, and then you hear the excited whispers of the other ITZY members, who have unwittingly witnessed your argument.

"Ryujin, do you even think about what you're saying?! Go and apologize right now!" Yeji's stern but quiet voice could be heard.

"Leave me... He/she locked himself/herself," Ryujin answers hoarsely and muffled. You can tell she's sitting right on the floor on the other side of the door, her forehead pressed against the wood. There's no longer any anger in her voice, only a dull despair and tears welling up. There's a soft, cautious knock on your door. It's Leah.

"Hey... Please, open up. We brought you your favorite tea. Ryujin's a fool and already bitterly regrets what she said, we all see it. Talk to us, come on..."

"We're not leaving until you open the door," Chaeryeong adds quietly, rustling a box of tissues under the door. "Yuna's sitting there crying because you two had such a big fight."

“Open up, please...” Yuna sniffles.

Five girls are stuck in the hallway outside your locked room. Ryujin is sitting close to the door, afraid to take the first step, and the others are begging you to let them in.
