SUMMER LOVE | CHAENNIE VERSION

CHAPTER 21

"You might get sick, J," Roseanno said when they get into the car.

He turned on the heater in the car.

"I don't have anything to wipe the water on you."

"It's okay, love. That was fun," Jennie answered him.

Both of them are wet.

"Milan is cold and you get wet. We better get back to hotel as soon as possible."

Roseanno start to drive the car back to hotel.

"Drive slowly, Rosie," Jennie said, she caressed Roseanno's hair while Roseanno is driving.

"I love to be with you and I love rain."

Roseanno smiled hearing what she said, he took her hand and hold it on his chest.

"You always know how to make me happy, J. Even my parents, they never understand me like you did," Roseanno implies a sad smile, "they never want me to be who I am now. I haven't talked with them since I choose to study in art and photography. They want me to be a doctor."

Jennie patiently listened to him, "I never visit them since they told me to study abroad. Last summer, when we extended our holiday at Jeju, I thought I'm ready to met them. I plan to catch a flight with you to Seoul once. But end up with flight back to LA right away, you know that. I still remember my dad arguing with my mom and how they obtrude me with all they want. My cousin, Allicio, kept telling me about their condition. What the point of having a married life with child if they made their child depressed, grows under their willing?"

"Not all the people like that, Rosie. Maybe your parents just did it wrong. Sometimes you have to see from their point of view too."

"I understand. Ah, let's not ruin this moment with that. As long as you are here, I don't care about the less."

Roseanno kissed her forehead. They are stopped by traffic light. Jennie understand that Roseanno doesn't want to talk about his parent anymore, so she didn't try to ask Roseanno anymore. They arrived in the hotel and went to their room.

"Dumpling, go take a bath first with warm water, I'm afraid you will get sick," Roseanno told Jennie.

He is unbuttoned his shirt because it's so wet, also his pants.

"Okay. I won't take too long," Jennie said and went to the bath room.

Roseanno sat on the couch, he closed his eyes, deep inside he misses his parents, but he doesn't want to face them if they wouldn't accept him. He never have a happy family since he was kid, so it's okay to be alone. He always be alone before, but now he has Jennie.

"Chipmunk, I'm done," Jennie called him, that's make him awake from reverie.

"Yes, love."

He stood up and went to the bathroom without saying anything to Jennie.

Jennie just done drying her hairs when Roseanno come from bathroom, he stood up behind Jennie and touched her shoulder.

"You are terribly beautiful. I always wonder how it would be if we never met. I think I will living my dull life."

He smiled while looking though Jennie's eyes in the mirror.

"I don't know how to face dark night if I don't have you as my star."

"Don't you realize J, you are the sunshine that makes the star shine. The star cannot shine by itself without sunshine. Without you, I just dark and died in the space."
