Rosé was stunned. I know she was not expecting this. "Jennie, if this is a prank, I don't like this" she said seriously. "I wish this was a prank..but" "Tell me Jennie, did your parents found out about us? Aren't they happy about me? I can tell them about my family status. I can-" "Stop. Rosé, they did not find out about you. They never even thought about finding out my relationship." "Then tell me, why?" Her eyes started to water. Its breaking my heart to see her like this but I have to do this.

"They want me to marry the daughter of their friend, the daughter of the woman who saved me. They wanted to help them by merging our companies together, and that includes marriage." "How about me?" The saddest sound of her voice made me sob. I don't want to leave her either. "There was no choice. I wish-" "Maybe, if they wont find you, they can find another way. We can run away Jennie, we can hide from them." "Rosé, they are still my parent. I cannot defy them. I am so sorry. I love you but we have to let each other go. Please hubby. I cannot bear to see my parents sad. They would always remind me how she died because of me. My conscience cannot take anymore of it."

"Ilove you so much Jennie. You know Ill do anything for you, anything but this. But if there' no other way, I guess I have to let go, right? But you won' make me stop from protecting you in the future"she stood up with dejected eyes."I'l always be your bestfriend, but for now I have to be alone. I have to process everything"with that, she turned to the door and left. Good thing there were no other customer other than the old man in the counter, or everyone' eyes will be on me.

I went home that day with my heart broken and my head spinning. I would never forget how devastated Rosé was hearing the news. My heart clenched when she thought that running away would solve anything. I wanted to drink and dance the night away. I wanted –

rinngg..rinngg.. I immediately look at my hone, hoping it was Rosé to tell me everything will be okay, but.. "Bunny.." I answered as I try not to let her hear how my voice trembles. "Jen..I've heard about what happened between you and Rosé" Nayeon said with a sad tone.. She's my bestfriend. The one who knows everything about me. My friend since diapers. She's a year older than me and is in the same University with Rosé. "'ll be there in like 20? You need something? I'll drop by the nearest convenience store." "Just some beers? I think I needed some drink." "Alright."

We talked and cried all night. I told Nayeon everything about my parents plan – about how Ill get married to Lisa in less than 2 months. I told her how my heart was broken into pieces like sand. I told her how Rosé tried to plan running away from here. She was heartbroken for me too, but all she can do is to be there for me. And that is enough.

A month passed by and I never heard from Rosé. I tried to contact her brother, Chanyeol, but he said she doesnt want me to know anything, that I need to let her heal. I also found out that she transferred school overseas. From then, I knew I cant do anything about her decisions either.

Will you still rescue me when I need you, Rosé? Will you still be waiting for me forever like you said?
