"Rosette!" She heard a familiar voice as she returned into the building she once called a second home. She ignored the female for a moment before feeling an urge to stop and greet her. "Hi Ariana." The female was taken back by the sudden change of stature of the female. She seemed more confident and herself. "Your memories....it came back?" The female smile brightened as she engulfed her friend in a tight hug.

"How'd you know?" She whispered on her shoulder and Ariana eyes welled up as her embrace tightened. "I can see it. Trust me, it's noticeable." She pulled away with a smile which faltered a bit after seeing an undetectable emotion hidden behind Rosette's eyes. "How have you been?" She questioned as they walked, she continued "I'm sorry for not checking in as frequently, life has been so fucking crazy." Rose scoffed mentally before speaking. "Tell me about it, I've been well. What about you? Any guys in your life?" Rose slickly asked her.

Ariana went quiet for a moment. "Um, no. No, not really." Rose chuckled "not really?" Ariana laughed shortly "I mean I am dating but it's nothing major...you know?" Rose stared at her with a straight face before smiling softly. "Understood. I have to go meet some people. See you around." Leaving before Ariana could have any additional comments she waltz her way to her studio. "Fucking bitch." She mumbled. "Who shall that be?"

Rosette flinched at the male voice and turned to see her friend and long time producer, Teddy. "Just some female shit." She mumbled and he stood up with wide arms. "How you doing beautiful." He hugged her softly. "Better than before." He smiled "great to hear." She stared at him for a moment as he spoke but interrupted him. "Better than before." She looked at him and smiled. "I think I just found my album name."

"I think she knows." The first four letters was all that hit Jaebeom to get his attention. "What?" Ariana panicked. "Her memories came back and she started grilling me.." Jaebeom paused her. "Her memory??" He stared at her and went to bolt out of the room before Ariana stopped him. "You're really leaving?" She commented softly. "I just want to see her."

Ariana stared at her lover and bit her lip. "See, I told you. You would leave me for her once she got better."  "Ariana.."  "We've been through so fucking much this past year Jaebeom!" She raised her voice a bit.  "It's Rosette, Ariana! Shit, part of this situation is caused by me! Our affair, it made him snap and I was involved! I'm obligated to make sure she's okay. How do you think we even got here??"

"Fine." He stared at her. "Didn't you want her to get better." He commented and she nodded. "I did....I do, but I'm scared...shit, Jaebeom, I feel guilty. She was sick and out of it and I'm in the man she sacrificed so much for bed!" The air fell quiet. "Do you regret it?" He questioned and she looked her in the eye. "I never will, but I think that question is mainly for you." He looked away for a moment. "No..I don't."

Approaching him, she smiled softly before leaning up and pecking his lips. "Okay....I believe you." She held his cheeks and looked him in the eye. "Just.... just, hold me" she whispered into her ear. "Before you go..." She kissed down his neck and trailed her hands down his torso. "Ari..." She shushed him softly before colliding their lips together.
