Keep Holding On (Complete)

Chapter 6

"Are you still watching the video of our wedding?" Rosé asked Jisoo whose eyes glued to the computer screen in their office.

"Yes, I want to know the details and tell Mitch our wedding planner. I really like you and Lisa's wedding," Jisoo admitted.

Rosé became sad. Memories of their wedding came up to her mind. She shed a tear.

Jisoo was confused seeing Rosé cried. "Hey, what happened?" Jisoo worriedly asked. Rosé shrugged. "Nothing. I just remembered our wedding preps. I was just like you, happy," Rosé replied.

"That makes the 2 of us," Jisoo smiled. Rosé just nodded and smile fakely.

Rosé can't concentrate with her work. All she can think about was her argument with Lisa. Suddenly Kai arrived in the office.

"Hey, look what I got you," Kai said as he handed a paper bag to Rosé. "Thanks," Rosé flatly said. "Thanks? Just that? Aren't you gonna taste it?" Kai asked while slowly getting the cookies inside the bag.

"I won't," Rosé said irritated. "C'mon just taste it," Kai said while trying to feed her. "I said I won't and you're forcing me?! What are you even doing here?!" Rosé angrily asked.

Feeling insulted, Kai walked away shaking his head. Rosé felt guilty and followed him. "Kai, I'm sorry," Rosé softly said.

"No, I can't forgive you. Unless, you agree to have lunch with me," Kai said smiling as he started to flirt. "I can't, I have to finish the project," Rosé said. "Then let's talk it over lunch," Kai suggested.

Rosé and Kai had their lunch. Kai asked her why she's in bad mood. "Is it your wife? Did you fight?" He curiously asked.

"She is so focus in her work. So frustrating coz it seems we're not in the same page anymore," Rosé confessed to Kai.

"Yeah, I feel you. My wife is like that sometimes. I have my needs, and even how much explanation I did, she really won't understand," Kai lied.

"So, what did you do?" Rosé asked. "Nothing, I just try harder. Sometimes it's really tiring. So hard to be a martyr right?" Kai shaking his head.

"Are you a martyr? Seriously?" Rosé asked and they laughed.

"See, that's my Rosé, a savage one," Kai said. "I'm not yours," Rosé asserted.

"All I'm saying is that if you were. I will never make you cry. I would never take you for granted," Kai said while their faces inches apart and touching Rosé's hand.

Lisa and Irene were in their restauant. "Did you fight with Rosé?" Irene asked as she sat beside Lisa. "It's so hard for me to understand her. I mean, I make it a point to make it up to her with my shortcomings. But even this restaurant, she's jealous?" Lisa asked in disbelief.

"That's tough when you're committed to someone. There's always this demand for your time. Yuck! That's why I don't want to get married. Atleast, if I'm single I can just you know, go to bed with whoever I want, and just move on after that," Irene said while massaging Lisa's shoulders.

Lisa smiled at her. "Thanks Irene for your advise. That's why I don't want to tell you my problems," Lisa said.

Irene got annoyed. "Speaking of problems, what's the plan? How are you going to get the amount we need?" Irene asked which made Lisa speechless.

"Kai, we are friends. Don't ruin it," Rosé reminded him. "Why will I ruin it? I even wanted us to be more close," Kai said while still caressing her hand.

"You're really crazy," Rosé chuckled and removed her hand. "Crazy for you," Kai replied and made a toss of their wines.

Jisoo saw that Kai drove Rosé back to their office and they kissed each other's cheeks. "Hey cousin, that man likes you," Jisoo said when Rosé got inside the office. "Of course not, he's just a flirt. He does it to every woman," Rosé replied. "But, he's not like that to me," Jisoo asserted. "C'mon, stop overreacting. If he really likes me, he won't advise me to make peace with my wife," Rosé defensively said. "Why? Did you and Lisa fight?" Jisoo asked. "What else?" Rosé said irritated and walk away.

Lisa went to her parents' house.
"Have you talked to Rosé that you needed money?" Lisa's mom asked her. "Yeah, she knows about it mom. But I don't want to drag her in this. This is my problem so I need to find my own solution," Lisa said. "But she is your wife. Couples help each other because you are one. You tell each other your concerns," her mom said. "How about you mom, are you like that to dad?" Lisa asked. "Of course, we don't have secrets," her mom replied. "Except for this one mom okay? He shouldn't know that I borrowed money from you," Lisa pleaded. "He will not know," her mom assured her. "Talk to your wife. Do not keep her in the dark," her mom added.

Rosé can't stop thinking about what she and Kai talked during lunch. "My wife is like that sometimes. I have my needs, and even how much explanation I did, she really won't understand. Sometimes it's really tiring. So hard to be a martyr right?" Kai said shaking his head."

Rosé picked up her phone in the table and hesitated to call Lisa or not. Suddenly, Lisa called her phone. "Hon, are you still mad at me?" Lisa asked on the other line. "How about you? Are you still mad at me too?" Rosé sadly asked. "I'm sorry. I really want to make it up to you. Hon, I'm giving you the time that you want," Lisa sincerely said. "Really?" Rosé asked. "How about a dinner in your favorite Japanese restaurant? We can meet up here in the resto. And don't bring your car so that we'll go home together," Lisa said. "But we can have dinner at home. I will help you cook," Rosé said. "No, I want tonight to be really special for us. Just you and me. And we're going to have a long good talk. You like that right? Then I'm all yours," Lisa said smiling. Rosé was so happy hearing those words from Lisa. "Please don't make me wait," Rosé said. "I won't, I promise you," Lisa said and ended the call.

Rosé was already in the Japanese restaurant waiting for Lisa.
"Ma'am can I take your order?" The waitress asked. "No, I'm still waiting for my wife," Rosé said flatly while drinking wine.

Meanwhile, as Lisa was going for their dinner, both of her parents arrived at her restaurant. "What foolishness are you doing?!" Her dad angrily asked which confused Lisa.

Rosé can't take it anymore. Lisa was making her wait again. She decided to leave the Japanese restaurant and coincidentally met Kai.
