━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Jennie slurred in her sleep when the sunlight blinded her vision, her neck felt cramped from the awkward angle she was sleeping in the passenger seat, the sun is barely up but it was so bright for dawn, the orange and red in sun disappeared long ago, all Jennie can witness was the blue of the sky and waking up of the city, the car was parked in a gas station, no pedestrians were seen wandering in the streets, she let out a big stretch to wake her limbs when a loud thudding of boots distracted her, Roseanne was running towards the car with lots of snacks in hands, struggling to keep everything in place but failed.

Jennie admired her from afar, looking at the blonde gathering her goods back. Felt the world moving in slow motion as she observed every detail and movement of  Roseanne, her long golden luscious blonde hair, blessed to run fingers in them, her cheeks, so soft and fragile to be held, her curves, her face, her eyes, her nose everything is just god's creation when Roseanne noticed her gaze and gave a small smile, flowers bloomed in her chest and that's enough to prove that Jennie fell, fell hard in the dept of love with Roseanne, as much as enticing the thought is, it's more scaring.

"What's on your mind, baby doll?" Roseanne prompted her elbows in the window, just then Jennie noticed how she was dazed out and never moved her eyes from Roseanne at all.

"You"

"Me?" Roseanne's eyes lit up like she found her precious prized possession. She leaned in like a puppy waiting for a treat, her imaginary tail waggling in curiosity. Jennie stammered at the view and struggled to make a statement.

"No, I mean yeah, It was me and you, No, it was just you and I'm just... Murdering you in my mind"

ing hell, that's a ridiculous excuse.

"Aww, that's cute" Jennie was bewildered by her response, and her eyes widened comically.

"You are absolutely crazy"

"Crazy in love with you, Jenbear"

"Whatever" She rolled her eyes, In return smiled, pinching her cheek before running away to get in the car. And driving her to the studio.

Jennie slumped on the couch when she arrived in her comfort place, a six-foot-tall angel statute in progress was covered in a white cloth in the middle of her studio, she suddenly become aware of the surroundings and looked at how messy the room was, shrugging at it, she heard Roseanne's car pulling away from the driveway. And a small smile automatically covered her face in a beautiful glow. She didn't realize it until her cheeks hurt, and she grinned like an idiot thinking about a cheeky idiot, Roseanne's naughty behavior should anger her sense but somehow it made her smile. She is like a baby no matter how silly things she does for Jennie it's always cute. If only she is less quiet maybe Jennie will find her less annoying. But that's totally not her so she will put up with it, just because she is the one who controls the butterflies in her stomach.

She violently shook her head, slapping herself from the thought. Take a deep breath to calm herself before getting to work. But she was distracted by a text on her mobile

Rosie Posie
A little inspiration for my princess 💋

The photo of Roseanne was herself in a grey beanie, with the same white shirt but an overall on the top, she was extremely cute that's for sure, Jennie's eyes momentarily widened at that before typing a snarky reply

Ruby Jane
Ew

Rosie Posie

Ruby Jane

Rosie Posie

Rosie Posie
👀

Ruby Jane
That's not...
Ugh whatever
Just leave me alone
You are irritating me

Rosie Posie
Bahaha I'm just kidding

"She is kinda cute though, but I'm gonna KILL whoever invented that damn beanie like cause what the " she punched in the air to control her frustration, and accidentally kicked the table, and the monolith almost fell and got broke if not her instincts to catch it.

"Okay, Ruby jane calm down, she is just Roseanne, she is my- ugh kill me already I'm starting to feel the damn butterflies again" The studio filled with Jennie's rant about Roseanne to absolutely no one except herself until she barely pulled it together.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

"You wore it?" Roseanne excitedly lifted her in the air when she wore the same dress she mentioned, the red patterned mini dress which was crumpled deep inside her closet, she also wore it because of a different reason, which Roseanne will know about it later.

"Doesn't have anything to do with you, just so we are clear here"

"Doesn't matter, you are so cute, Princess" Roseanne grinned looking up at her, while the latter's hands are wrapped around her neck.

"I know" she proudly flipped her hair with a smile on her but frowned when Roseanne started carrying her to the car. "Put me down, I can walk on my own"

"With those little legs, It would take a while than usual" Roseanne commented, gaining a hard punch on her shoulder.

✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧

"Rosie!" Her voice reached an octave when Roseanne brought her to dinner on the roof of a skyscraper

"Hm?"

"We're on top of the world! Look, I can almost reach the sky!"

Roseanne released a soft laugh. "Yeah, I can see that"

"Oh my god, I can't believe this!" Jennie squealed in excitement once more, as she tried to sway back and forth on the railings while admiring the view being presented in front of her. Roseanne was standing beside her---arms crossed while admiring her reactions instead, her smile so wide it could almost tear her lips apart. This is the perfect view for her;  seeing the tiny girl's eyes sparkle like what seems to be the most beautiful star in the whole galaxy combined. How she looks so free and satisfied just by looking at the shining, bright sky filled with stars and city lights. How her lips utter the most fascinating words one could ever listen to. How she glances at her every now and then with that look on her face that screams joy and gratitude. And how she held her hand while she yelled random phrases at the top of her lungs. It was perfect. So perfect that Roseanne wanted nothing more than to spend the rest of her life living in this exact moment. With Jennie and Jennie only.

But then again she can't.

"Careful," she told the girl softly when she saw her slightly lifting herself from the railings, "You might fall"

"Doesn't matter. You'll catch me anyways, right?"  Jennie giggled, then she glanced in Roseanne's direction to give her a warm smile. "I know you will. You're obsessed with me," she added, turning her attention back to the stars.

Roseanne chuckled. "I mean, you're not wrong."

"Of course, I'm not." she shrugged and Roseanne could only shake her head in amusement.

"Hey, don't you want to eat dinner now? I'm sure you're already starving"

"Alright," she nodded, but instead of stepping away from the railings, she extended her arm towards the blonde, "...but first, grab my hand."

"What?"

"Hand. Grab." she gestured, flailing her arms on Roseanne's face.

Confused, Roseanne still did what she was asking her to, grabbing Jennie's hand with hers.

"Now take a step closer"

Roseanne took one step.

"Closer."

And another.

"Make your steps bigger, Chaeng. I'm not gonna bite you"

"Sorry." Roseanne took another step, but this time, a bit bigger than before, making her face the tiny girl with only a few inches of gap sitting between them. Jennie placed Roseanne's hand on her waist, then wrapped both her own around Roseanne's neck.

"What is this for?"

"Do you hear that?"

Roseanne frowned. "I don't think s—"

"Listen carefully."

She tried looking for that thing Jennie wanted her to hear, and as soon as she heard it, sadness automatically clouded her features. Although, she did try her best to hide it from the brunette standing in front of her, and tried her best to force out a smile. She didn't want to worry her like last time.

The song was playing from a nearby building, the same song that played in Roseanne's car two days ago. And although the song wasn't really that clear to hear, since it came from afar, it was still pretty much audible from where they are.

"I had this dream last night," Jennie started, taking a step closer so their bodies are almost touching, "That I was on top of a big skyscraper with all the stars and the city lights watching me from above. I was wearing a beautiful red dress, and my hair was pulled up in a neat bun. Then someone came to me, asking me to dance, while this song---this exact same song came playing from the background. And it was," she release a content sigh, "... it was just so magical. I don't know how that happened, or why am I suddenly feeling deja vu or something like that, but I want it. I want to experience that moment again." she paused, then a soft, tiny laugh came out from , before adding, "Even if it's with you... the most annoying creature on the planet. "

Roseanne felt her heart drop upon hearing all that. She knew Jennie would sometimes mention past moments in her life by accident, but she didn't know it would hurt so much to remember the special moments they had together. Those moments that she tried so hard to bury deep down so it wouldn't hurt so much as it already did. It was heartbreaking, especially how it reminds her of how awful it was in choosing to forget.

Maybe they weren't that different after all.

Just that she had a choice... and a reason. And Jennie doesn't.

Roseanne tried to mask her emotions with a laugh, then she gently placed her other hand on Jennie's waist, pulling her closer. "I guess tonight's my lucky day, then," she says, leaning her forehead on Jennie's own. Then she smiled, adding, "I get to dance with the most beautiful creature on the planet. "

Jennie rolled her eyes, but then a smile quickly formed on her lips. "Ew. Don't say that."

"What? It's true."

"Well, duh." she said, making them both laugh, "But you saying it makes it invalid and questionable because you're my fan."

"Your fan?"

"Yeah. My fan." Jennie shrugged. "And basically my stalker"

"I'm really not." Roseanne defended.
And before she could even list the reasons why she was not, Jennie already stopped her.

"Shh. We're dancing. No talking now."

Roseanne chuckled softly, watching how Jennie slowly close her eyes. She started swaying them to the rhythm of the music, closing her eyes as well as they both got consumed by the darkness of the night sky.

A year ago

"Hubby, look! It's a puppy star!" Jennie beamed out in excitement, pointing at the sky.

Roseanne went over to hug her from behind, then followed where she was pointing only to let out a short laugh when she saw how the stars were nothing like what she said it is. "That's not a puppy, love. More like a large—"

"Don't you dare finish that sentence, Roseanne Park" Jennie said, covering the blonde's mouth with her hand.

Roseanne couldn't help but giggle. She gently pulled Jennie's hand from and then placed it on her tummy, together with hers, before tightening her hug on the girl. Jennie then rest her head on Roseanne's shoulder, smiling when she felt lips brushed on her hair.

"I don't think I'll ever get tired of being here. Just watching the night sky with me being wrapped up in your arms," Jennie lifted her head to look at Roseanne's face and admired how beautiful you look with the moonlight on her face. "You don't know how much I love spending my nights with you, Hubby." she said, burying herself more in Roseanne's body and loving the warmth and comfort it always brings her.

They stayed like that for a whole minute when a familiar song suddenly played from the nearby building. Jennie was quick to react, pulling herself away from the hug to walk closer to the source of the sound.

"Oh my god. It's our song! Hubby, are you hearing this?"

"Yeah," Roseanne responded with a chuckle, watching how Jennie's face sparked with excitement.

She went over in her direction and then offered her hand to her, saying, "Would the lady in a beautiful red dress care for a dance with me?"

"If you insist." Jennie giggled, taking Roseanne's hand.

Wrapping one arm on Roseanne's neck, and Roseanne placing one hand on her waist, they both started swaying slowly to the rhythm of their song.

"Can you sing for me, love?" Jennie requested in the middle of their dance, and Roseanne happily complied. She rested her head on the side of Jennie's face, then softly whispers to her ear the lyrics of the song.

Baby, I'm dancing in the dark

With you between my arms

Barefoot on the grass

Listening to our favourite song

When you said you looked a mess

I whispered underneath my breath

But you heard it

Darling, you look perfect tonight

✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧

"I hope you enjoyed the dinner as much as you enjoyed inhaling that ice cream."

"Surprisingly, I do." Jennie playfully responded, making Roseanne laugh.

She went on and ate her ice cream while the blonde could only watch her in admiration.

"Stop staring."

"Why not?"

"Because," you're making me blush,... "it's creepy."

"Oh." Roseanne quickly averted her gaze. "Sorry."

Jennie leaned on her seat. "I told you I'd share with you my ice cream."

Roseanne chuckled softly. "It's fine. I'm already full anyway. "

"Don't you want, like... a bite or something?"

Roseanne turned to look at Jennie again. "Okay," she said, leaning forward before opening .

Jennie stared at her in confusion, but then immediately blushed when she realized what Roseanne meant.

"What are you doing..." she almost whispers, pushing Roseanne's face away from her.

The blonde shrugged. "I thought you'd give me a bite?"

"Y-Yeah, but..." Great. I'm stuttering. "I didn't say I'd feed it to you. Go take it yourself," she said, slightly pushing the ice cream in front of Roseanne.

The latter pouted. "But I want you to."

That won't work on me, Park Roseanne.

"Please?"

Jennie rolled her eyes. Then she sighs, "Fine."

Roseanne grinned with her answer.

"Once. Just once," she mumbled, taking back the ice cream.

She scooped an ample amount then shyly lifted it in front of Roseanne's face, which the blonde happily took before grinning once again.

"Thank you." she even teased, brows going up and down that made the tiny girl roll her eyes. "Oh. I spilled some on your hand." Roseanne blurted out when she noticed a stain on Jennie's hand. She grabbed a napkin on the table and then leaned forward to wipe it, only to freeze on her spot when she noticed something else wrapped around her finger.

"Wh-Where did you get this?"

"The ring?" Jennie asked, slightly feeling tingles when Roseanne’s fingers came in contact with hers. Her eyes went down to the ring she was wearing then looked at Roseanne with furrowed brows. "I found it at my house. Why? Do you know who it belongs to?"

"I..."

"Is it yours?" Jennie's face turned surprised.

"No. It's—"

"Cause I thought it belonged to Jisoo unnie. But if it's yours, then..." she was about to remove the ring when Roseanne stopped her.

"It's not mine."

"Oh."

She sat back, still feeling the tingles in her stomach especially now that they were practically holding hands on the table.

"Well, how did you know about it?"

"It's just... she shook her head, chuckling. "It looked familiar, that's all," she added, pulling her hand back and leaning on her seat.

Jennie gave her a questioning look but then decided to just brush it off as she was now examining the ring.

"You know, it's kinda funny how the ring fits me so perfectly," she uttered in a soft voice, ... because my fingers are a bit chubby compared to unnie's. 'Cause, hers are long and slender. And if it really belongs to her, then how come it looks perfect with mine? Not too tight... not too shallow."

Because it isn't even hers. Roseanne wanted to say. But no words came out of .

"Makes me think it wasn't even hers in the first place," Jennie added as if she read what Roseanne had just thought. Then she laughed. "Well, it isn't mine too because I don't remember buying it."

"Maybe someone gave it to you."

"Why would anyone even bother giving me a ring?"  she responded in disbelief. "Unless someone  proposed to me and I happened to forget it."

Upon hearing that, Roseanne couldn’t help but take a deep breath. She can already feel the tears forming in the corners of her eyes, but she did her best in stopping them from falling.

"... although, that's unlikely to happen 'cause there's no way I'll forget it if someone did propose to me," Jennie added with a laugh.

And Roseanne can only mumble a quiet, "Yeah..." before bowing her head and hiding her face from the brunette.

Jennie's face fell in concern. "Hey... you okay?"

Roseanne immediately nodded in response, although her head remained low. "I'm fine, I'm just..." she brushes her face with her hands, "I can already feel my eyes dropping. I think I'm getting sleepy."

"Oh. Do you want to go home now?"

"No. No. It's fine. I think I just... I need to use the restroom to wash my face."

"Do you want me to accompany you?"

Roseanne shook her head, standing up from her seat. "Just wait for me here. I'll just be a minute," she said before leaving their table and walking towards the restroom. Jennie could only watch her in concern.

What happened?

Roseanne locked herself in a stall, sliding until her body slumped on the bathroom tiles. She was controlling her raging breath, tears rolling down her cheeks as she hugged her knees muffling her sob for no one to hear. She laughs at herself sometimes about what exactly she is doing right now with Jennie and herself. It's been a year and...

Her wife doesn't remember her

Going on dates that make her wish every day to be like this, taking her to the studio the first thing in the morning, having lunch, buying snacks for her small bean, playing with her, taking her out every evening, but she knows better, she always will return to an empty lonely reality. Where the love of her life thinks she is an annoying pathetic piece of an attention seeker. A creature that sticks to her like glue no matter what. The lips which uttered more I love you now say I hate you the most.

She took a deep breath to calm down before sliding her phone and calling the only person who can comfort her right now.

"Unnie?"

"Hi, Roseanne"

"Rosie"

"Oh, Jennie is not there, are you back from your date?" Jisoo replied, scrabbling noises were heard in the background and the sound of cats shows that Jisoo is in Lisa's house.

"You can call me Rosie, even if she is here she won't mind, or more like don't remember me" Roseanne shrugged defeatedly.

"Rosie.." Jisoo deeply sighed but was cut off by Roseanne

"No, unnie. I think I'm wasting her time and holding her back from living her life, what's the point? Anyways she doesn't..." She swallowed the lump in before speaking "She didn't remember even after she wore the ring"

"You gave her the ring!?"

"I didn't, she found it somewhere in her house, God, I forgot how beautiful it looks on her" she sniffed and smeared her nose on the sleeve of her jacket. Getting up to get a breather.

"Roseanne, calm down. Don't be so hopeless, she will remember us, we know how hard it is for you to handle it right now, and also know how much you love her, you have to have some faith, Roseanne, she is still your wife. Don't forget that"

"Unnie, But I can't force her to love me-" Roseanne was cut off when she opened the door to find Jennie standing in front of her with a glare on her face which immediately turned into a frown when she saw the tears in Roseanne's eyes.

"And here I thought something happened to you, but Nah, you are just busy chatting with other people"

"Me? Other people?" Jisoo gasped loudly, which is even audible to Jennie. The brunette snatched the mobile from the blonde to see who is she talking to which made her a crying mess.

"What the hell were you talking with her, Jisooni? You made her cry" Jennie snapped defensively

"I didn't say anything, she is just crying about her ex... Uhm"

"You know about her Ex?" Jennie gasped and looked at the blonde, only to find the latter avoiding her gaze.

"Jennie, Look. This isn't something we intended to hide but you should understand her and also us and stop being a baby, Jen..."

"Unnie-"

"Talk to her" and with that Jisoo ended the call.

She gave the phone back to Roseanne, who accepted it with a shy smile and her head ducked low. But tears Are still evident on her face.

"You don't trust me?"

"Huh?" She raised her gaze back in confusion.

"Seems like you don't trust me enough"

"Oh my god, No. You are my first priority and trust, Jen. It's just..."

"It's just what?" Roseanne bit her lips, Seems like Jennie won't leave her alone without a valid answer.

When no further response came, Jennie just rolled her eyes and turned in heels, leaving the blonde behind.

"Why are you so grumpy Jenbear?" She blocked her way with an awkward laugh, but the knot in her chest is twisting her, seeing Jennie in the red dress just make her reminisce about all the memories. She can't keep up the act. So she let the tears fall which made Jennie's eyes soften a little.

Wordlessly Jennie wrapped her slender arms around the blonde in a tight embrace until her composure crumbled down into pieces.

"I'm here, don't cry. I'll always be here" Roseanne froze for a second before she wrapped the brunette in a tight hug in return and buried her face in the crook of Jennie's neck. And stayed still while Jennie drew circles in her back in comfort.

Remember me, wifey
