I'm sorry to I love you | COMPLETED

#6: I haven't tried to kiss you yet...

Chapter Six: "I haven't tried to kiss you yet..."

JUNGKOOK LAY AWAKE that night, the beaming face of Rosé as she passed him her album and her tears, alternating repeatedly his head. The contrast made it even more disturbing. The way she talked to them was as though she was not affected in the least but of course her tears when she thought she was alone, stated otherwise.

He couldn't sleep as his mind drifted off to the girl each time he brought it back. On his bedside table was the Digital album she had given him. He turned on the night lamp and took the album in his hands and noticed something he had not before. She had written him a message next to her autograph. It said:

Thank you Jungkook-shi, for your overwhelming support! Forever grateful and I'll always be rooting for you. Life will never be a bed of roses but I hope you live a life of fulfillment on a personal level as well. Hwaiting!
Love, Rosé

He smiled at the note. It was not generic, it showed her genuinity and care. Despite the short length, it touched his heart. He grabbed his phone, tapping on Rosé's contact. He had sneakily stole Jin's phone to get her number as his hyungs would tease him to no end if they found out.

His fingers hovered over his keypad, typing and deleting his texts repeatedly and finally decided to send his last one.

Jungkook:
Annyeong Rosé-shi, it's Jungkook.
(2) I read the message you wrote

Before, he could finish his third text which was a continuation of the second one, Rosé came online.

Rosé:
Annyeong sunbaenim, which message are you talking about?

Jungkook:
The one you wrote on the album

Rosé:
Oh that one! Did you like it?

Jungkook:
Loved it!
(2) It's been a while since I received messages that hit hard like that

Rosé:
Well, glad you like it sunbae
(2) Not sleeping?

Jungkook:
Nope, not tired. How about you?

He did not want to tell her that he say her cry. Well she did not technically cry since she had wiped the one and only tear and walked over to her chair.

Rosé
I don't normally go to sleep this early

Jungkook:
EARLY? It's like 2am Chae

Rosé:
AHHAHA I know but I am used to sleeping past 2 or 3 in the morning. It's been like that for a long time...

Rosé had not reacted to him calling her by her nickname so he took that as a good sign to be a little informal with her.

Jungkook:
If you don't mind me asking, why?

Rosé:
Well I've always been busy and even though I am a musician, it's like there's never time for music you know?
(2) So at night is when I make time for it, especially for playing my guitar

Jungkook:
Wow, I love the guitar but I suck at it

Rosé:
I'm sure you don't sunbae, maybe you just need someone to help you out

Jungkook:
Hm maybe...
(2) Can I ask you something?

Rosé:
Go ahead!

Jungkook:
I saw a harp at the studio. Do you play it?

Rosé:
Yeah, I've learning for about 2 years now
(2) I haven't revealed it yet as I want it to be revealed as a surprise or something
(3) So shhh please

Jungkook:
Don't worry my lips are sealed

Jungkook smiled as he conversed with her. His fingers were on the verge of cramping up as they went on for probably an hour or two, just getting to know each other. He had to admit, the girl was very likeable. She makes everyone feel comfortable around her and is an amazing listener.

Rosé:
Hey it's 3.45, you should get some sleep kook

Jungkook:
But I don't want to go...

Rosé:
You're adorable but go to sleep
(2) I'll text you tomorrow?
(3) As in today but later, seeing it's past midnight

And that brightened him up. This girl was not even next to him but she effortlessly put a smile on his face.

Jungkook:
I'll keep you to that promise!
(2) Good night new friend

Rosé:
Good night buddy

"PARK FUCKING CHAEYOUNG!"

"What Lisa?" Rosé called out from her walk-in closet where she was changing after her shower.

"Get over here right now!" Lisa commanded, making Rosé roll her eyes as she slipped into a plain pink shirt, tucked into a mini white skirt.

"What is it Lili?"

"Explain, girl!" Lisa said, displaying Rosé's phone.

Rosé looked at the screen which showed 2 missed calls from Jungkook. He must have called her when she was in the shower. What made it worse was that she had saved his number with a little rainbow and heart emoji. She thought of lying to escape the teasing she knew would appear if she told her what was going on but opted for the truth anyway. It's not like they were doing anything anyway. They had just been texting back and forth, getting to know each other.

"We've been talking, what's there to explain?" Rosé said, nonchalant.

"Since when?"

"Like a month or so?"

"WHAT? How can you not tell me that your dating, especially such a popular guy?" Lisa pouted, fake hurt.

"Yah, we aren't dating, we've just been friends. I talk to the other BTS members too." Rosé clarified.

"You aren't dating... yet" Lisa said, her tone becoming teasing.

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"Open your eyes Chae, you know how popular Jungkook sunbae is for not associating himself with girls. If he is talking to you, he must be interested" Lisa explained, getting excited.

"Um no please. He is not interested in me, nor am I in him. We are friends." Rosé explained to which Lisa just smiled as if mocking her.

"Besides, not all friendships turn into relationships" Rosé continued, "I mean, I haven't tried to kiss you yet..."

Lisa scoffed before, handing Rosé her phone. "Whatever you say Chae, but I am telling the unnies!" Lisa shouted before running out of the room, knowing very well that if she stays, Rosé would smack her ass.
