Chaeyoung..is that..are you..No it can’t be..I was there when she was....but why did I see her in that moment? And why do I feel so drawn to this blonde stranger?

 

“Jen.” I felt Jisoo hold onto my forearm successfully pulling me out of my thoughts. I turned to look at her and I can’t tell if she thought the same thing or not. But she did have a small frown on her face.

 

“Are you okay?” She whispered.

 

“I’m fine Chu, why wouldn’t I be? C’mon introduce me to your new friend.” I forced a small smile.

 

“Jennie.”

 

“I’m just tired.”

 

“Alright fine.” Jisoo relents, “But at least turn down your rbf a tad.” She teases me, and I smile genuinely at that.

 

“Lisa hey!” Jisoo stops us next to the two.

 

“Hey,” Lisa smiles at Jisoo and then bows at me, “This is my best friend Roseanne Park. Rosie this is Jisoo, the model I told you about.”

 

“Hi. I’m Roseanne, but you can call me Rosie or R, just not Roro.” Rosie chuckles and for some reason I find myself smiling along.

 

Rosie...it suits her.

 

“Okay Rosie it is.” I speak up first, feeling Jisoo’s eyes on me, “I’m Jennie by the way, Jennie Kim. And you must be Lisa, the new photographer Chu was telling me about.” I turn to the shorter haired girl.

 

“That I am and you must be the best friend she was telling me about.” Lisa smiles widely.

 

“Unfortunately.” I tease and Jisoo playfully elbows my side.

 

“So, Rosie and I were about to go grab some dinner, did you guys want to come?”

 

“Ah I don..”

 

“Sure, there’s a bbq place nearby if you’re up for it.” I interrupt Jisoo, once again I can feel her staring.

 

“Oooh the famous Korean bbq places, yeah yeah I’m down.” Lisa nods her head, “Okay okay, do you guys wanna ride with us or?”

 

“That’s okay Lisa, Jen can drive us and I’ll text you the address.” Jisoo speaks up.

 

“Cool.”

“Okay Jennie Kim what was that?” Jisoo asks as soon as we’re in my car.

 

“What? You told me to be nice.”

 

“I did, but that was..” Jisoo pauses and I try to read what she’s thinking.

 

“That was you.” She continues.

 

“Huh?” I looked at her confused, “What do you mean that was you.”

 

“Nothing.” She shakes her head, “Don’t worry about it. I’m just overthinking.”

 

“Jisoo.” It was now my turn to push her.

 

“It’s really nothing Jendeuk..let’s just go. I don’t want them to wait too long.”

 

“Okay.” I nod, Jisoo usually can’t keep things from me. She’ll tell me what she really means eventually.

“What made you guys decide to move to Seoul?” Jisoo asks, starting the conversation.

 

“Well this one got hired at Toujours and since I mostly do freelance photography I tagged along.”

 

“What a faithful best friend.” Jisoo comments and Rosie begins to laugh.

 

“Don’t let that smile fool you Jisoo, this one here has..mmmmphhhh.” Lisa quickly covers Rosie’s mouth, glaring at her.

 

“What Rosie means to say, is that I’m the best and her parents wouldn’t have let her go without having someone here to check up on her.”

 

“Lalisa.” Rosie’s tone was stern. I raised an eyebrow at this, “What do you mean.”

 

“Uhh.” Lisa laughs awkwardly, glancing at Rosie with an apologetic look.

 

“They’re just worried because it’s a new country, new environment. I have no family or friends here. Plus, this one’s been itching to travel around Asia so we figured relocating here would make that easier.” Rosie explains and I nod at this.

 

Soon our conversation moves on to the lifestyle and day to day living here in Korea. Mostly, it’s Jisoo and Lisa talking. I noticed that Rosie would glance over at me every now and then. I wanted to ask her why but I didn’t want to push it.

 

“Oh you’re left handed.” Jisoo suddenly comments, looking at Rosie.

 

“Huh..” Rosie looks at her hand and quickly shifts the chopsticks to her right.

 

“Are you ambidextrous?”

 

“A bit...I mostly consider myself a righty though.” Rosie answers, she was about to speak again when her phone began to ring from inside her purse.

 

“Excuse me.” She grabs her phone and gets up, “Hello Aly?” She answers in english with a very distinct accent.

 

“Lisa.” I speak up, “Where did you guys move from?”

 

“I thought Chu would have told you. We moved here from Australia.”

 

“More specifically, Melbourne.” Lisa continued.

 

And I felt a chill run down my spine.

 

“Jennie.” Jisoo grabs my hand, but I can already feel myself about to have a panic attack.

 

“Jennie...hey...” But Jisoo’s voice sounded distant, faint.

 

The only thing I’m focusing on is that day….

 

“Morning Chaeyoung.” Jennie answers the facetime call coming from Chaeyoung. It’s been a week since her fiancé left for Melbourne to attend the opening week of her art gallery.

 

“Morning Chaeyoung….uh-oh am I in trouble?” Chaeyoung asks, taking a sip of her coffee.

 

“You told me you’d call last night.”

 

“I..”

 

“Did you forget?”

 

“What? No...I just fell asleep. I had a long day.”

 

“Mhm sure.” Jennie rolls her eyes.

 

“Jennie..”

 

“I waited for you to call..and you didn’t..”Jennie pouted, and Chaeyoung wanted nothing more than to kiss it away.

 

“I’m sorry.. I’ll text you next time I can’t call you to say goodnight.”

 

“Promise.”

 

“Promise.” Chaeyoung puts a hand up, “Now tell me the plan for today?”

 

“Just the usual. Stuff with Chu and the gang.” Jennie sighs.

 

“What’s wrong?”

 

“I just miss you.”

 

“I miss you too..but hey I’ll be back by this time tomorrow.”

 

“Next time, you’re not going to leave without me.” Jennie puffs her cheeks out.

 

“Got it boss.” The brunette laughs, “I gotta head to the gallery, so I’ll call you at lunch?”

 

“Okay I’ll be waiting. Be careful on your way and text me when you reach.”

 

“Yes ma’am.” Chaeyoung smiles, staring softly at the screen as if trying to memorize Jennie’s beautiful features for the first time.

 

“Babe?” Jennie calls out, “You’re staring.”

 

“I love you.” Chaeyoung blurts out in such a loving tone, it catches the shorter girl off guard.

 

“I love you too.” Jennie replies feeling as if it’s the first time she’s said it to her fiancé.

 

“I’ll always come home to you, remember that.”

 

“And I’ll always be here, waiting for you.” Jennie replies.

 

“I know..okay I gotta go now Wifey. Bye bye.”

 

“Bye..be safe.”

 

Who would have thought that would be the last time Jennie would ever hear Chaeyoung’s voice, because just a few hours later..she lost her.

 

Jennie was working, smiling happily waiting for the promised lunch call with her Hubby.

 

“Jen can you please focus on this before you skip work and facetime Chae for 5 hours.” Nayeon glares at her friend/boss.

 

“Sorry Nay, but it’s almost time for her to call..I promise after lunch I’ll double check these documents.”

 

“Fine fine, just cause I know once you get your Chae time you approve anything so..” Nayeon was interrupted by the ringing of Jennie’s phone, “Speak of the devil.”

 

But Jennie’s smile turned into a frown when she saw who was calling.

 

“Hello mom?”

 

“Jen...it’s..” Chaeyoung’s mother was crying.

“Mom what’s wrong.” Jennie began to worry, getting up to grab her things but accidentally jostling her desk and causing the photo of Chaeyoung she kept on her desk to fall and shatter.

 

“Chaeyoung...she’s been in an accident..she..she’s gone.”

 

“Jennie.” I suddenly found myself eye to eye with Chae..no it’s Rosie. Her hands are on my shoulder and she’s looking at me with worry in her eyes, “Are you okay?” She asks. I roam my eyes and see Jisoo was actually next to her with Lisa behind them.

 

I take a deep breath, closing my eyes tightly, trying to fight my tears, “I’m sorry.. I… I have to go.” I rushed out of there. Hoping into my car and driving to the one place I feel at ease.

 

When I arrived I noticed there were fresh irises and pink roses on the ground.

 

“Hi Hubby.” I sat down on my usual spot, “Who brought you flowers?” I ask, as if she can reply.

 

“I remembered it again today..” I laid down on the ground, closing my eyes and letting the last few moments of daylight blanket over me, “It’s been almost 7 years now..” I clutch my necklace tightly in my hand.

 

I laid there for a while, allowing myself to pretend that she’s here with me.

 

“I met someone today.” I paused, chuckling as the image of Chaeyoung’s pouting face and furrowed brows whenever I used to tell her about someone I meet pops up in my head, “Not like that silly.”

 

“She’s a Park too..her name is Roseanne, but she goes by Rosie.”

 

Rosie..the blonde girl’s face enters my mind, “She reminds me of you...you guys have the same eyes..the same fluffy cheeks that get fluffier when you stuff your faces. Her lips are a bit more plump.” I tease, “Just kidding you know I only ever prefer yours, but her jawline is sharper, I gotta give her that babe.” I my side, and for a second I see her laying next to me with a soft smile. But when I blink my eyes she’s gone. I didn’t even realize I was crying.

 

Rosie...I wonder why she makes me feel so at ease. Rosie makes me feel like things will be okay.

 

“Did you send Rosie to me Hubby?”

 

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

A/n: YOOO 4 for 4! I’m on a roll! We’ll get Rosie’s POV next. Also, this might be quite long….so I might (MIGHT) move it as a standalone, but I’m not sure. It won’t change anything if I do.

 

Oh and have you guys pre-ordered Rosie’s solo??? I literally spent so much just on shipping but anything for my girl lol.

 

Let me know what you think is going to happen next...especially now that the two have met.

 

Let’s see if I can go 5 for 5.
