Something About Her

Chapter 21- Right Here, Right Now

Seoul, 10:45 am

Giddy. Utterly surprised but mostly, giddy. The sight of seeing her closest friends who are about to meet in person for the first time since she can only imagine after how long, left her utterly surprised and most definitely giddy. It was like watching a romantic teenage movie, unfolding right before her cat eyes.

Jennie can no longer hold her mouth open, with eyes shooting, taunting giddy daggers towards Rose and Jisoo. The smile and giggle she cannot possibly hide anymore as she eyes the raven beauty behind her- completely drained out of color, as if drained lifeless, with eyes wide and an expression of absolute surprise and nervousness.

"Oh... My...Gosh...Rosie!!! You're here... I... I think I better give you two some privacy... Yeah! I should definitely do that right now... So, Rosie, I'm so happy to see you, but oh my gosh, okay let's catch up later, yeah? Chu... ladies... laters, lovies!", and just like that, Jennie gave the fastest side hug to Rosie as she exits Chu's office, leaving one last gummy smile to her bossy unnie.

As they were left alone, Rosie decided to break the impending silence.

"Hi... I uhmm, sorry... is this a bad time?" she asked, obviously worried that her unannounced arrival may have caused anger to Chu, given the horror written all over Jisoo's face.

I knew it! This was such a bad idea! Lisa, I swear to God I'm going to-

"What? NO...Never! I'm... I'm just surprised and totally caught off guard."

That response made the blonde lose her tight shoulders. She smiled as she released the breath she was unconsciously holding.

"Ughh... Pe-please... Come in" were the only words Jisoo can say as she slowly walked towards the blonde who swiftly made her way in, closing the door ever so lightly, her eyes never wanting to look away from the shorter beauty in front of her.

With awkward and unnecessary fidgeting, Jisoo finally made her way right in front of her- the one that she's been loving all these years, the one she's been waiting for to see, hold and feel.

"Hi... You're here. You're really here. I can't believe you're really really here." Jisoo can't help but reach for Rosie's hand, still unsure if all of this is real.

Seeing her like this made Rosie smile more, as she adjusts her hands with her, squeezing, holding back firmly.

"I'm here. I'm real. This is real... Hello, my Chu."

And just like that, Chu released her hold as she slowly pulled the love of her life into a warm embrace. Rosie cave into the warmth instantly, making her hug tight as she could possibly can.

"God knows how much I've missed you, so so damn much."

"God knows how much I've missed you too, equally much."

"I'm so happy you're here. Finally... you're here and I can feel you. This isn't me imagining things, right?" Jisoo asked, still hugging the blonde.

Rosie giggles as she slowly pulls away a little, just enough to see her Chu, who's hands still clasp together at the blondes back, never wanting to let go.

"No, you're not imagining things, Chu. Right here, right now, I'm here... For you... For Us."

That brought the brightest smile that Jisoo can muster. Her cheeks turn red as fast as lightning. Her eyes glisten, happy tears threatening to escape. But she held it back from doing so. She studied every feature of the woman she was holding. Her eyes, her cheeks, her nose, her ears, her hair, her lips, her everything. She was completely mesmerized by the mere sight, by the mere warmth and the over-all presence of her Chaeng, right here, right now.
