haru café
after classes, 12:45 pm

rosé's pov

after classes, i walked directly to the café just like the same routine. i greeted jihoon who's already wearing his apron uniform. "hey jihoonie." i said and waved a bit while reaching for my apron that is hanging at the clothes' rack. "annyeong noona." he replied while smiling.

"sunmi unnie isn't here yet?" i asked while tying my hair into a low ponytail and sanitized my hands. "she was here earlier but she forgot something in her dorm." he explained as i just nodded.

i heard the a person call at the counter and i immediately stood up, "yes sir." i said and didn't gave the person a glance yet. "sir my ass park chaeyoung." i looked up and saw jimin oppa, i grinned and spoke. "what's your order mochi oppa." i said in english.

"one choco flappe pleaseu." i heard him try hard in english, but yeah he did well. "coming right away, to go?" i asked as he nodded and gave his payment before waiting at the other side of the counter.

i gave the small paper with oppa's order to jihoon and he started making the frappe. after 5 minutes jihoon passed me the frappe from the kitchen and i went to the small cabinets where the straws and tissues are.

after getting one each, i gave it to oppa and thanked me as he went on his way out of the café.
not too long, i heard a chatter coming from the door and i stood up at the counter waiting for the to arrive here to order.

"hi rosé." i heard taehyung greet as he smiled a little, "hi sir, what can i get for you today." i replied while glancing at the people behind him. after he stated his orders and i wrote it down, he gave me his payment and i gave him his change.

"here jihoonie, that's many than usual." i said as he whined a bit, well he got no choice. "wassup party peeps." i heard sunmi unnie greet and i saw her wearing her apron and i passed the paper to jihoon.

"you better help jihoon over there, he's already whining." i said as she laughed at what i just said. she made her way into the kitchen and went inside. let's go evening shift.

gwangju bus stop
same day, 10:45 pm
rosé's pov

after we closed the café, i bid my goodbye to my workmates and i am now waiting for the bus here in the bus stop. 

im sure in 20 minutes it'll be here, the usual bus ferry time is at 11 or earlier.
i accidentally glanced at the street near buamdong-gil alley, where i witnessed a murder and where chae was murdered.

wait.

maybe she was killed because she also witnessed a murder the day she went there?

that makes a point, i have to say this to lisa or any of the ace's members. i played with the zipper of my bag and i didn't feel the wooden keychain that was supposed to be there.

wait, didn't it fell at the alleyway? like the same day i also witnessed the murder

they keychain where my name, "chaeyoung" was engraved.

what the hell? also the red velvet cake, i dropped it there at that alleyway. son chaeyoung's fave cake is also a red velvet flavored. doesn't it makes sense that-

i snapped at my thoughts when i heard a horn across me and realized that it was the bus i have been waiting for. i quickly hopped in before it can drive pass me, i tapped my card and gladly, i found a seat.

i reached for my bag to get my earpods and my phone and connected it. i opened my spotify and played the sickick's mind games, i felt my phone snooze and saw someone message me and i quickly clicked it.
