Rose Gold *A Johnny Suh Story*

*Johnny's Point Of View *

Since we are going shopping afterwards, we decided to put off going to the spot that I am claiming as ours. I was really tired and I had to find somewhere to go for the night.

"Why don't you come stay with us?"

"Stay with you? Are you sure?"

""I'm sure the guys won't mind."

"I think I should stay at a hotel."

"And wouldn't your grandma see that?"

He's right! Fuck.

"I would feel better if you just ask them. At least TY. I would feel better."

"Okay. I'll call him now. Give me a second to talk to him."

I nod, looking over at the stores.

"Hello?"

"My love. How's your day with Johnny going?"

"Dasom, it's fine. Thanks for calling him."

"Of course. I know my sister can be annoying and think that everyone has to bend to her will or else."

"Oh, I didn't notice. I tend to stay away from her."

"Yeah, you should. Gul-Mi has been acting strange lately."

"What do you mean?"

"Like she's always been entitled but the vibe is different."

"Different how?"

"She feels as if she's untouchable. Like if she does anything wrong, she won't be stopped. That's why I think it's best of you stay away from her as much as possible."

"That's kind of hard when we all have to work together."

"My sister doesn't work with anyone. My sister doesn't work, period. So you should be fine. Korea is a big place. And I'll be by your side for anything else."

"Well, I'm glad. But hey, I have to go. Johnny is coming back. I'll see you tomorrow."

"Okay. Love you."

I sat there in silence. That was the first time I've ever had a friend end a phone call with I Love You. I've only gotten hung up on, yelled at, or a simple bye. Never I love you.

"Hello?"

"Hi. Sorry. I love you too."

And the phone call ended.

"Who do you love?"

I jump as Johnny scared me.

"Don't do that," I slapped his arm a few times. He starts laughing, defending himself against my weak his. "You scared me."

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you."

"Jeez."

I push my hair back, holding my heart. It's pounding super fast.

"I was on the phone with Dasom."

"Oh! I'm sorry. Did I ruin your conversation?"

"No. We were off the phone."

"Cool. Taeyong said you can stay with us for tonight. So let's get you some clothes and all that."

"Sounds great! Let's go."

I grab hold of Johnny's hand and walk to the nearest store to find something to wear for tomorrow and something to wear for tonight. Or, maybe, I can just buy some shorts and wear something of Johnny's.
