Just For Now | Book 1

Chapter 4

ROSÉ

I must've fallen asleep the whole ride when I felt Jisoo tapping my shoulders. I blinked twice just to see if it's really her and I'm right.

"Sorry to bother your sleep, but it's time to eat dinner" she smiled and held my hand I don't really expect this happening but her hands are really soft that I could hold on to it my whole life.

Even though it's really my plan on having this dinner, she led the way and paid for everything. I told her not to but she refuses to listen to me, we got to the seat where I reserved for the two of us. The view is really pretty the wind blowing gently, the waves making this peaceful appropriate sound, and the sky covered with stars and a big bright moon.

"what are you gazing at?," her voice was heard, asking me this question that made her eyes look up at the sky with me too.

"the stars and moon, it's really pretty" I said and looked back at her. Our eyes met but she avoided, maybe I'm making her uncomfortable.

JISOO

It's nice being friends with Chaeyoung, but, I can feel something different from her actions right now. It's not like her, we've been hanging out these past few weeks but she never ever! acted like this.

"the stars and the moon, it's really pretty" she said. And looked at me, our eyes met and I can definitely sense something is off, I avoided her gaze and fake a smile.

I don't wanna be rude at her, and this whole thing is making me uncomfortable. But what can I say, it's always yes because somehow I can't say no. Duh.

"can I tell you something later?," she asks me, okay now my strange feeling is getting stronger "sure" I forced myself to smile hiding my cringiness inside.

After eating, she told me to follow her and walk around near the shore. She cling her arms around mine and started to talk.

"have you ever fallen inlove with someone?" she asked. Oh... dear...

"yes, why you ask?," I don't like where this is heading. "how does it feel?"

"great,–" she cut me off "how can you say it's great?, other people can't have the person they like to be with them." we stopped walking and sat at this blanket facing the shore. I'm really speechless.

"b-because.. uh.. my mother! yes my mother told me she liked my father back then, and when she confessed to him. She was so happy cause my father like her back." that's just literally a story I made for 20 seconds, my father and mother's love story was far from these couple. It's really hard.

"that's a great story, I can tell" she giggled. "but I'm asking you.. have you been in a relationship before? or now?"

I am all chill on the outside, but in the inside I am panicking half my life! I feel my sweats wanting to come out, luckily there's fresh wind all over the place. C'mon Jisoo just say no!

"n-no.. not at all" I smiled.

"but do you like someone?" I feel like I'm betraying Jinyoung right now... fawkkk
