Scars

Chapter 11

Rosé's POV:

Today was the day of the first elimination before the actual tournament. Due to this event, all the classes had been canceled and replaced by Defense Against The Dark Arts lessons. Jungkook and me had been practicing very hard for this with the determination to win the tournament.

He hasn't opened up to me yet. I'm not forcing him to because I know he needs time to tell anyone about this. Whatever it is, it must've been horrible for him.

I went to the girls' dormitory and looked around. Then I saw Jennie's bed, she was still sleeping soundly. I giggled. I took a cup and filled it with cold water. Then I went back to Jennie and poured it right into her face. A few seconds later, I was running for my life.

"Chaeyoung-ah, I'm gonna kill you!"

"Today is the first elimination of the tournament!"

Fortunately, she stopped chasing me when she remembered. She froze for a while. Suddenly my phone blinked, I had gotten a message.

Good morning Chae!
Are you nervous?

A little bit
How do you feel?

I feel like pulling out every tree from the forbidden forest and throwing them after you

Why me?? I didn't do anything!

Because someone's cuteness is killing me ;)

This boy really knows how to make his way into a girl's heart...

I'm gonna ignore what you just said

Do you want me to pick you up?

I looked behind to see Jennie smiling at me sheepishly.

"Say yes! What are you waiting for?"

Sure
I'm at the girls dormitory, you can wait outside of the common room

Ok
-                                                                   -

As soon as I put my phone away, Jennie told me to sit down. What was she up to?

"Close your eyes."

I did as I was told. She was quiet for quite a long time. I could only hear the voices of all the other girls talking excitedly, when she clapped her hands in satisfaction.

I hesitantly opened my eyes and saw myself in the little mirror Jennie was holding. I was shocked. This didn't look like me at all. I looked ... pretty for the first time in my life.

"So, what do you think?" she asked.

"What have you done to my face? I look so different."

"Well, I gave you a little glow-up. Don't think you can go and see your soon-to-be boyfriend with those dark circles around your eyes!"
