Roses Are Equal To Diamonds

My Idol Romance

It was two days after meeting Jaden that I was able to get Ji Oppa to meet him. I know that being gay in Korea is like how it was in the 50's and 60's in America. It is a don't ask, don't tell situation, or as I like to put it "an unofficial taboo." Luckily, Ji Oppa is more open to it than most people who aren't from America.

We were spending the day shopping for more clothes and also picking out shoes to wear while I'm trying on wedding dresses tomorrow. Jaden and Ji Oppa had really hit it off when we started shopping. Jaden knew all the stores and what brands were sold where and what places had the best prices, so Ji Oppa was more than happy to follow. I swear, by the time we had been out for an hour, I already had at least three bags of designer clothing. 

"Tori, you should really try on some of this Chrome Hearts stuff. It looks like it would be a good brand for your style" said Jaden, handing me a few hangers that had different Chrome Hearts clothing on them.

"Oh, trust me, Chrome Hearts is a favorite in our company. Everyone has their clothing, but I don't know if we have any of this. Go try it on and then we can make an outfit for what looks good" said Ji Oppa, pushing me back into the dressing room I just came out of.

I tried on the tank top and leather jacket while leaving on the black jeans I had on. Surprisingly, I looked good in it, but it reminded me of CL in the Can't Nobody music video. As I walked out, Jaden was smiling and Ji Oppa was looking me up and down. If I didn't know better, I would definitely say he was checking me out.

"You would think that you would look like CL, but you don't. We're getting it" said Ji Oppa, going and paying for it without a second thought.

I went back in the dressing room to change into my own clothing, and walked out to find that the two guys had left to look around some more. It had been this way all day, so I've gotten used to it. I walked around the Chrome Hearts section to see a tee-shirt that I remember Bae Oppa saying he wanted another one of. I picked up the shirt and smiled remembering how I loved to steal these shirts from him when I could. It will be a good present for when I get back, so I went and bought the shirt without the guys noticing.

"Tori, Jiyong said that you two have to head back to the hotel now" said Jaden, coming up to me when I was about to look around some more.

"Oh really? Well, I guess I will have to see you before I leave in a couple days" I replied, hugging him back.

"Of course, I will come see you off at the airport. I have to head out for a class anyway, so I will talk to you later. It was nice meeting you. Bye" said Jaden, walking out of the store.

"He was interesting. I never knew a gay person before, but they seem like really cool people" said Ji Oppa, walking to the car that was waiting on us outside.

"I'm just happy you two get along, but why did we have to go shopping again? We went with TOP Oppa yesterday and now I'm probably going to have to buy another suitcase for the clothes that I bought on this trip" I said, drinking some of the water bottle I had gotten earlier.

"Not my fault that New York is one of the best places to shop" replied Ji Oppa, laughing at me.

We continued talking about random stuff and also relying ideas about what type of dress I would want to get. The drive to the hotel seemed short while we were talking, but I was a little surprised to see more girls outside the door than when we left. I guess TOP Oppa is back from the photo shoot already.

We got out and walked into the building while security held back the people trying to get to us. As we walked into the lobby, a manager came up to us saying that people had been coming in and dropping off presents for us while we were gone. Ji Oppa told them to send all of them to his room and we continued on our way to our hotel rooms.

"Do you really have to check over everything I get? I mean, I'm a big girl. I can handle a little hate every now and then" I asked, a little tired of being protected.

"We will go through them together, okay? I just don't want you keeping them a secret anymore" said Ji Oppa, waiting for the elevator doors to open as we got to the 23rd floor.

The doors opened and we walked out to see that TOP Oppa was waiting in front of the the elevator. I was surprised to see him, but I don't really know why. I think I'm just not used to seeing him blonde. At least, I can start teasing him about being a Korean Barbie doll now.

"Tori-ah, it looks like you got a lot of stuff. Why don't you go put it up and then come to my room for dinner with Ji and I?" asked TOP Oppa, talking as we walked out of the elevator.

"Okay, I will see you in a few minutes then" I said, curious why TOP Oppa was acting suspicious and wondering if it had anything to do with Ji Oppa being jumpy earlier today.

I walked over to my room's door to see that there was a card attached to the door. I put down the bags and pulled the card off the door. As I opened it, I immediately recognized the handwriting.

Naega baram pyeodo neoneun jeoldae pijima baby

(Even though I stray from you, don't you ever stray from me, "baby")


Naneun neoreul ijeodo neon nareul itjima lady

(Even though I forget about you, don't you forget me, "lady")

Gakkeum naega yeollagi eopgo sureul masyeodo

(Even though I drink and don't call)

Hoksi naega dareun eotteon yeojawa

(Even if I briefly meet eyes with another girl)

Jamsi nuneul matchwodo neon naman barabwa

(Only look at me)


I closed the card and put it in my bag. Picking up the shopping bags again, I opened the door to find my room filled with dozens of red, white, and pink roses of all sizes and all thorn-less. As I walked to the middle of the room, the bags in my hands dropped as I saw Bae Oppa standing in front of me with a bouquet of roses. It looked like he hadn't slept in awhile, but I could see there was something in his eyes but I didn't know what it was.

"Tori, I know I've been a jerk and too over-protective these last few weeks. I know that I've probably done everything a person could do that would ruin a relationship, but I'm willing to fight for you. No other guy deserves you... I don't deserve you but I don't want to give you up. I realized I'm like that guy I sing about in 'Only Look At Me.' I became like that because I'm not used to sharing you with other guys just yet, but I promise if you will take me back, everything will change. I won't be bothered by it anymore. You can go hang out with guys if you want and that I will be totally fine with it."

He came closer to me and put the bouquet in my arms while I saw tears come to his eyes. I was shocked by his actions but I couldn't think of anything to say to him. He got down onto his knees in front of me when he started talking again.

"I'm sorry for being... being the person I've been for the past couple weeks. I'm sorry for everything I did and said these last couple weeks. Please, just don't go to another man until I have a chance to fight for you. I'm on my knees begging for another chance to just fight for your attention. Please just don't turn away from" said Bae Oppa, wrapping his arms around my waist and crying into my stomach.

I smiled hearing him apologize, realizing that no matter what this man did... I loved him with all my heart. I put the bouquet down on the bed beside us, and then started petting his head with one of my hands while the other rested on his shoulder. He continued to crying into my shirt while I started to comfort him. To tell the truth, I've never really seen him break down like this before, but I couldn't do anything but comfort him right now.

"Tori-ah, please. Just tell me that you haven't moved on already" said Bae Oppa, looking up at me.

Instead of answering, I put my hand on his cheek and bent down so we were facing each other. I looked into his eyes and saw that he finally had the breakthrough that was needed and all his honesty was put into his words now.

"How can I move on when you own my heart?" I asked, not giving him a chance to answer as I kissed him.

He kissed me back and hugged me closer to him. I rested my head on his chest as he my back. We stayed that way for what seemed like hours, but it was interrupted by Ji Oppa and TOP Oppa coming in and gasping at the room.

"I knew YoungBae said he could impress her, but I didn't think he would go this far. How much did all these roses cost? I know it can't be cheap considering these all look like they were cut today" said Ji Oppa, inspecting the roses while starting to put my new clothes in the closet.

I smiled while the three guys started talking and joking around again. We ended up cleaning all the roses up and putting them on the table ready for when maintenance brings us some vases of water. All of us ate dinner in my room while watching TV. It was funny hearing Ji Oppa and Bae Oppa trying to explain what is happening on the shows to TOP Oppa, but it was better to just be in Bae Oppa's arms again without all the fighting. 

"Tori-ah?" asked Bae Oppa.

"Hmm?"

"You know that I love you more than anything, right?"

"Not as much as I love you" I replied, starting to joke around with him.

"No, I love you more" said Bae Oppa.

"Oh Dear God, please. I thought you two weren't going to fight any more" shouted Ji Oppa.

I ignored Ji Oppa and leaned up to kiss Bae Oppa. In the background, Ji Oppa and TOP Oppa were telling us how disgusting our PDA was and were making gagging noises.

"We're in love with each other equally. That better?" I asked, snuggling into him more.

"Yes it is, love" said Bae Oppa, wrapping me in his arms and making me feel safe and warm again.
