"Jennie..."

Jennie turned around to glare at Chaeyoung

"Don't call me that"

They were now back in their dorms and from the looks of things, it seems the two were alone

Chaeyoung sighed "Unnie..."

"Not that either"

Chaeyoung furrowed her eyebrows and sighed internally but did it anyway

"Wifey."

When silence was met, Chaeyoung continued

"Wifey, what you said earlier...do you mean it?'

Jennie however, wasn't listening and was staring at a light red mark on Chaeyoung's neck and pointed it out

"What's that?"

Chaeyoung looks confused, and a bit frustrated that Jennie didn't listen to her

"What's what?"

Jennie stared at it hard and moved closer to Chaeyoung until the younger girl is pinned to the door

"This."

Jennie touched Chaeyoung's light red mark and Chaeyoung shivered a bit as it is a bit sensitive to touch

"I..."

Chaeyoung's mind flashbacks to when she was weakly pushing Joohyun away when she felt the eldest on her neck. A bit of red blush on her face as she stuttered

"I-it's from..."

Jennie finished it for her

"Is it from Irene-unnie?"

The way Jennie said it so calmly sent sparks of fear inside Chaeyoung

"...I think so"

Jennie raised an eyebrow questioningly "You think so?"

"I wasn't...really remembering what just happened earlier to be honest"

"Rosie..."

Chaeyoung looked at Jennie who seems to be leaning forward and Chaeyoung could feel her heart beating out of her chest rapidly, the smell of Chanel, and just...Jennie is all around her and Chaeyoung scrunched her face, closing her eyes as she's feeling very overwhelmed now. From Joohyun's kiss, to her dazing thoughts, and now her confused heart.

A minute of silence

And Chaeyoung felt Jennie's head land on her shoulders with arms wrapping around her waist

Soon...

She felt wetness on her shoulders

"Is she...?"

A sob escaped from Jennie's mouth and Chaeyoung's heart faltered from its nervousness and is now replaced by concern and guilt for making Jennie feel like this

"Please, Rosie! Don't...don't do this" Jennie yelled at her shoulders "Don't have a relationship with her!"

"Wifey..." Chaeyoung rubbed Jennie's back soothingly "Joohyun-unnie is...she does not have feelings like that to me."

Jennie pulled back and scowled angrily despite tears running down her face

"Don't give me that bull!"

Chaeyoung's eyes widened at the use of profanity

"You're too ing dense Rosie!" Jennie fumed "You don't even notice how Irene-unnie is looking at you! You don't notice how I look at you for years!"

Chaeyoung cannot take this anymore so she pushed Jennie away though not harshly, but enough for the older woman to step back

"...you don't know what happened Jennie"

Jennie kept shut when Rosie said this in English

When it's English and used with a dark tone

The is serious

Chaeyoung looked stoically at Jennie and said "I don't know about Joohyun, but all I've been receiving from you are mixed signals. Do you think it's clear as a day for me to notice your feelings?"

Chaeyoung started walking towards her room but stopped for a moment and continued speaking

"You've made me jealous by hanging out more closely to Jisoo or Lisa, you've made me confused when you suddenly became cold to me and is not noticing my presence, you've made me sad when you won't get closer to me no matter what I try, and most of all..." Chaeyoung turned back to look at Jennie's eyes with pain in her eyes

"You've hurt me before...by going out with someone while I'm the only one who doesn't know about it."

Jennie bit her lip to stop the retaliation from and just clenched her fist in anger and guilt

"It's not clear for me Jennie, I don't feel it" Chaeyoung shook her head "And as much as I want to talk about it, I'm too conflicted right now. Let's talk about it when we both have clear heads about this."

Chaeyoung closed her eyes "If there's one thing I learned from Joohyun and her experiences, it would be talking things through with a clear head..and my head is not clear right now"

"Especially about what I...felt on that kiss"

Chaeyoung was about to really walk away when she felt Jennie stop her by grabbing her hand

"Please...don't get closer to Irene-unnie..." Jennie could actually feel her chance slipping by remembering the 7 minutes of heaven of the two and the state she caught the two

"Please..."

"Jennie..." Chaeyoung took a deep calming breath to not let her temper get the better of her "Joohyun is one of the closest people in my life; I can't just ignore her and let all memories we've made gone just like that"

"But..."

Chaeyoung, for the first time in her life, ignored Jennie and walked towards her room, locking it to ensure she'll be alone for the whole day and night.

The warmth upon touching Chaeyoung was still in Jennie's hand as she put that hand to her heart and closed her eyes in anguish

"I can't lose you Park Chaeyoung..."

Chaeyoung lay in her bed, eyes staring right through the roof over her; her mind in an endless haze like the mysteries of the night in a buzzing city. She touched her lips and she felt how her heart thumped faster

"Why...Joohyun..."

Chaeyoung groaned, grabbing her head and messing her hair up in frustration

"Is a kiss really...necessary?"

Chaeyoung bit her lip, racking her mind if there was a time that Joohyun did say that they'll kiss

"So, in this fake relationship thing..."

Chaeyoung bit her lip to stop a wide smile from forming as she watched Joohyun lay her stomach on Chaeyoung's bed with a messy bun of her hair while wearing glasses and a cute little notepad in her hand as if she's taking notes from the craziness they're planning right now

"I think we also need to be clingy to each other as possible; if what you said about Jennie being clingy in your group is right, then maybe us being clingy will make her jealous." Joohyun stated as she wrote 'clingy as possible' in her notepad

"I'm sure we're both comfortable enough to be clingy with each other considering we already hugged each other in the first meeting, right Rosie?" Joohyun chuckled before finally looking at Chaeyoung who was staring at her with such warm eyes and some kind of dopey smile which made a blush form on her cheeks

"Rosie?"

Chaeyoung seemed to snap out from staring at the visual of Red Velvet and blushed furiously "A-ah yes, what were you saying again unnie?" She asked sheepishly, biting her lip unconsciously

Joohyun's eyes went down a bit before shaking her head and nudging Chaeyoung playfully "What's up with you? Is recording your new songs tired you out that much?" She asked

"I would never" Chaeyoung shook her head, lips smiling softly from finally getting to sing once more especially since music is her passion "Besides, you said this day is so important that I should not be lazing around in the dorm" Her eyebrow raised in amusement as she recalled Joohyun's text to her.

"Well," Joohyun smiled softly, hand reaching out to Chaeyoung's and tracing patterns on them "Our happiness is important too you know"

"Yeah, you're right" Chaeyoung whispered, loving how Jooohyun's small and soft fingers feel on her own "So, what were you saying again unnie?"

Joohyun giggled "I said, we're both comfortable enough to be clingy with each other especially since we already hugged in our first real meeting"

Chaeyoung laughed lightly "You don't think our first real meeting is our dinner with the others?"

Joohyun shrugged "You were talking to Joy at that time,"

"So it's my fault for not making it our first real meeting?"

Joohyun hummed before smirking as she answered

"Yes"

"Yah!"

Chaeyoung pouted "It's not my fault you're so pretty that I couldn't say anything to you," She said out loud

A minute of silence

Joohyun watched Chaeyoung blush deep red in amusement "So..." Joohyun sat up and is now face-to-face with a red Chaeyoung "You think I'm too pretty that I made you speechless?"

Chaeyoung groaned and hid her face with her pillow as she talk with pillow muffling her words "Shut up..."

Joohyun laughed out loud, eyes crinkling in happiness and mirth "Come here you big baby" She laughed again when Chaeyoung yelled out 'I'm not a baby!'

"How can we talk about the plan now if you're not even looking at me?" Joohyun chuckled, tapping Chaeyoung's head "Come on now, I'll treat you outside if you come out from your cave"

There was silence for a while but Chaeyoung spoke out "...fine"

Joohyun bit her lip to stop laughing seeing Chaeyoung finally show her pouting face especially since she made that happen by mentioning a treat aka food aka Chaeyoung's love of her life

"So, what else will be in the plan?" Chaeyoung asked

Joohyun looked at her notepad and recapped what they have been talking about lately "Well, we have dates, nightly talks, texts with each other, and being clingy."

"Basically, we're just hanging out more than usual" Chaeyoung grinned "Seems easy enough unnie, looks like we'll be spending more time with each other then"

"Yeah, I can't wait" Joohyun grinned back before it dimmed as something clicked in her mind "Oh...by the way, I forgot to mention something"

"What is it unnie?"

Joohyun bit her lip "...I think when the two have an idea of what we're doing, I think we should..."

Chaeyoung looks confused especially since Joohyun is starting to blush "We should what unnie?

"...kiss"

Chaeyoung's mouth dropped as her body stilled "K-kiss?" She managed to squeak out

Jooohyun nodded slowly, her eyes landing on Chaeyoung's pink lips before going back to her eyes "Yeah, I think we will need to kiss at least once. Heck, I think that will be the final part of the plan if you ask me. When they are truly jealous when knowing we're kissing, I think we can really see that they have feelings for us"

Chaeyoung gulped "But Joohyun...I" Chaeyoung hesitated at first before taking a deep breath and whispered

"I haven't had my first kiss yet"

Joohyun seems shocked that an attractive and charismatic woman like Chaeyoung hasn't had her first kiss yet but...

"Me too"

She's in the same boat as well anyways

Chaeyoung almost snapped her head "R-really? Does that mean...you're willing to have your first kiss...with me?" Chaeyoung gulped, heart, beating unknowingly fast

Joohyun's trusting smile melted away Chaeyoung's nervousness as she said "If there's one person I'm willing to give my first kiss to, other than Seungwan, it would surely be you, Rosie"

Joohyun scooted closer to Chaeyoung and cupped her chipmunk cheek as she said soothingly "I trust you...do you trust me?"

Chaeyoung seems to calm down upon Joohyun's touch "I...I do" She whispered

Joohyun gave a radiant smile that made Chaeyoung return it with her own as Joohyun said

"I'm glad"

A pinch on the cheek made Chaeyoung yelp and Joohyun giggle as she said playfully

"We're not sure if we'll get to that part Rosie don't worry, maybe Jennie would still be your first kiss when this all ends"

Chaeyoung chuckled before tackling Joohyun and started tickling her as the room is now starting to be filled with laughter and shouts

"...well, you did become my first kiss Joohyun"

Chaeyoung muttered, eyes looking at a photo of her and Joohyun on one of their little dates outside. This is when Joohyun treated her that day; she was wearing a scrunched-up face as Joohyun in the picture is laughing and holding out an avocado ice cream to her.

"And the confusing part of it all..."

Chaeyoung put her hand on her heart and clenched it

"I...liked it"

Bae Joohyun stared at her phone in a daze; she has been staring at it for quite some time now especially since her group members bombarded her earlier if she truly did the dare to Chaeyoung.

"Did you really do it unnie?!" Yeri asked with wide eyes as they ate dinner. She could only ask now as Joohyun closed the door of her room and locked it.

It's a sign that their leader wants to be left alone

Joohyun shrugged "It was just a dare, it's not a big deal"

Wendy pursued her lips "It seems like it was a pretty big deal if Jennie was fuming like a bull earlier"

"Yeah..." Joy narrowed her eyes "What is up with her? I mean I know Jennie-unnie can look mean but the way she reacted earlier makes it seems like something is going on"

Joohyun quickly stopped the growl forming in remembering what happened earlier "We...just had a bit of a fight"

"About Chaeyoung?" Seulgi asked

Joohyun looked down a bit and just nodded quietly

"So, you did do it"

Everyone looked at Wendy

"...maybe I did"

Joohyun closed her eyes as she said it, not wanting to see Wendy's reaction; maybe she was scared or nervous, but her mind and heart are in shambles right now, especially since her hands are twitching to call a certain someone.

Seulgi frowned seeing Seungwan's eyes crinkling in sadness but there were no tears in them; it was as if Seungwan is having a plan of her own and Seulgi has the slightest idea what

"Seungwan...are you observing Joohyun-unnie? Are you going to make your move? or..." Seulgi bit her lip; she knows her best friend after all. It wouldn't be Seungwan that even if her heart is hurting, she would help Joohyun reach her happiness even when it's not her.

Could that be what Seungwan is thinking?

"I'm done eating"

Before Seulgi could voice out her thoughts, Seungwan was already standing up and leaving the dining area. Yeri looked thoughtful for a moment before quietly saying

"I think I'm going to rest now also"

Seulgi looked at Joohyun before looking down on the floor in distress as she also stood up without finishing her food

"I'm going to talk to Seungwan"

Joohyun didn't even say anything as Joy started cleaning the table when Joohyun was also done eating

"I..." The eldest couldn't finish her thought, her heart yearning to talk to Chaeyoung after what happened today. She was nervous and scared that Chaeyoung is going to leave her alone...

Then she looked around her

Joohyun watched

...as all of them leave her alone in the dining area making a pinch of loneliness hit her heart until she hears Joy's velvety voice

"You know unnie..." Joy sighed "I may not like how Wendy-unnie is hurting right now, but if Chaeyoung truly makes you feel like your heart is full and happy..."

Joohyun looked at Joy's eyes and her lips trembled a bit when she saw a shimmer of acceptance

"You should go for it"

"I should go for it" Joohyun murmured and nervously called Chaeyoung's number

The first ring, the voice that Joohyun has been wanting to hear quickly met her ears

"Joohyun..."

Joohyun's breath hitched hearing Chaeyoung call her as if she were expecting this call.

"Rosie," Joohyun called out as well "About today..."

"It's about the kiss right unnie?"

Joohyun blushed and her lips could remember how much it felt earlier

"Yeah"

A moment of silence between them until Chaeyoung sighed

"You know unnie, because of that kiss" Chaeyoung spoke out "Jennie-unnie kind of confessed"

A shimmer of anger and sadness can be seen in Joohyun's eyes "kind of confessed?"

"Yeah"

"What did you say then?" Joohyun took a deep breath and braced herself "Did the plan work? Are you two...together?"

Joohyun could feel her heart sinking as each second passed by with Chaeyoung not answering

"Is the plan done? Are we not going to spend more time now?" Joohyun's thoughts were running wildly but she always reminds herself that Chaeyoung promised that she would never leave her.

But there's still this hole in her heart that cannot be filled at all despite reminding herself every time

"No, we're not"

Joohyun didn't realize that she actually stopped breathing while waiting for an answer as she just said in curiosity with her heart beating fast and mind assuming things

"Is Chaeyoung also...?"

"Why Rosie...?"

"Because I can't get you out of my head Joohyun...I can't get our kiss out of my head."

Hello everyone! I've been itching to update this and tbh, I couldn't even write a chapter for my other stories because this pairing has been on my mind every time I look at my editor sksksks so here's a small update to set my mind at ease and hopefully yours too? 

I hope you enjoy this chapter! It's a mix of feelings our main characters are feeling right now but still, anything can happen.
