Black Rose (Rosé X Male Reader)

Chapter 7 (Whispering Past - Part 1)

(Y/N)'s POV

After that day, the day I confirmed my obliviousness, the day I realized everything, the day... I said goodbye to her...

I never thought that day would happen. I never thought that every bad thing that I thought of Rosie... it was all nothing but the truth.

And I was oblivious enough to be fooled like that... guess I was a stranger to her after all.

Hell... I knew I shouldn't had peeked under her business. Why did I even do that anyway? We weren't a close friend, right?

I couldn't say that it wasn't affecting my daily life too... I lost my appetite, I was lack of sleep, I got tired easily, and my job... wasn't really helping me.

And here I was, in the middle of recording, and I had to put on fake expression with stormy heart.

"Alright, it's good enough. Good job for today, people." The director announced. We finished recording as everyone loosened up from the stressful tense. But me, I didn't even feel loosened.

I sat on the chair with these problems in my head... I put my hand on my head, hoping it would ease my head as I could feel someone sitting next to me.

I turned to my right and turned out, it was my director. At that time, I didn't know whether he was going to throw a lecture at me for the first time or whatsoever. "Young (Y/N)?" The middle-aged man took a gulp from his water bottle. "You don't look too well."

"I know... I'm sorry, I'll make it up for today... I-" He suddenly held my shoulder with concerned face.

"Young (Y/N), calm down... I'm not here to scold you or anything." Uummm... okay, I guess? "You seem off, for these few days. I didn't sense the same emotion as the other days."

Well, can't say he was the first to ever notice that. I could say many people talked behind my back because of my sudden change.

I wasn't the type to bring people into my problem. So I had no intention on showing my true face... and he was the one to brought it up...

Couldn't expect less from an acting trainer. He was an expert of emotion, after all... "I-I'm sorry... it's been hard for this few days, I had this problem with my friend... and..." I didn't finish my sentence and buried my face on my palm. Hell, I didn't even know why I talked to him about my problem...

Maybe it's because he's...

And apparently, he understood the state I was in and didn't ask another question. "I'm sorry for you, young man." he patted my back, in hope of calming me down. I just nodded in response, not caring whether it helped me or not. "Should I give you advice, everything in this world is breakable. Nothing stays forever." I looked at him with riddled face.

"What are you getting at?"

"Nothing stays forever. Not even your problem." My eyes a bit widened, amazed by his words. Maybe people were right about old men that had a lot of... big-brain thought... "Go home, get some rest. Take a few days if you have to. I want to see you in your old self."

I just nodded and head out to the front door. Nothing last forever... does that mean... we're not gonna last? "(Y/N)!" Jonathan came from behind me and put his arm across my shoulder. "How are you doing?"

This time, I didn't even bother smiling... I felt too tired. Nothing last forever... I didn't have any idea about where that word brought me... it sounded so good when you combined it with the right sentence...

Yet if it was about me and Rosie...

It felt so true. I didn't even know how long my smile would 'last'. So, before he realized something odd, I thought it'd be better to spill the beans.
