If I Can't Have You | GOT7 [SEQUEL] ✔

Chapter Twenty-One

Rose entered the studio as jaebeom played with the sound board. "Hey." She whispered and he looked up at her. "Hi" They both planned to meet today to talk. "I'm not planning on taking too much of your time." She began but he unintentionally interrupted her "I broke up with Arianna." She stared at him and she bit her lip "don't make this hard jaebeom" She smiled softly and nodded.

"I forgive you." She stated as she made eye contact with him. He saw the hope build as he approached her. "That doesn't mean we're getting back together." He paused and she softly laughed off the tears that threaten to build. "I'm sorry for being with Jackson, I never meant to ruin the bond you both had." He shook his head. "No, rosette, I'm sor--" she raised her hand and gave a reassuring smile. "You said sorry enough." She picked up her purse again and he panicked slightly.

"You meant that this conversation won't be long. I never said a word" He stated and she stopped her actions. "Fine. Speak." He shook his head and approached her, she staggered back a bit off reflex but accepted the embrace. "I regret it" his voice trembled. "I should've just waited, you wouldn't have been here. This wouldn't have been our future." His tear trailed down her cheek. "I am so sorry Rose, I really do love you."

They stayed in each others arms as she cried into his chest. She gripped his shirt tightly before removing herself and headed towards the door. She froze for a minute before turning around and colliding their lips together.

He gripped her tightly as memories of their affair in the past resurface. This intimate interaction gave both of them what they wanted, proof. Proof that each party still had that spark and it was confirmed. She pulled away and he wiped her tears, his own fell as he knew what this meant. "Find someone good ok?"

He can tell her words were genuine, but she struggled. "I already found it, I just lost it." He admitted and she nodded then shook her head. "This wasn't.....this wasn't stable." She whispered. She pecked his lips once more "good-bye jaebeom." He didn't release her "it's not goodbye." She didn't fight his word, "then see you later." His grip never left, it softened and she slipped from it. He watched as she left for the last time, he felt this relief that coincided with his heartbreak. Rosette felt the same as she met her next person of interest.

"Rosette.." he screamed out into the house as he made himself known. "Jackson!" She hugged him tightly. "I wanted to speak with you." She sat down and he followed. "I'm leaving." He stared at her and began rambling "is it because of the ultimatum? I'm sorry." She stopped him immediately. "No, no. I need to work on myself." She smiled softly, "I should be apologizing for using you. Using your love and respect for my pleasure, I really did fall for you but I love and care for you deeply but differently."

He pulled her in as her tears fell. "Don't worry about that, I told you to." He joked and she laughed. "My priority is to make sure you're happy and safe. Once you're happy, I am too." She held his cheek. "Why didn't I fall inlove with you? Whoever enters your life, I hope they know how blessed they are to have you." She kissed his cheek and stood up. ,Can you give me a drive to the airport? I'm going back home where my family resides"

Jackson admired her, he watched as she walked around her house to check everything and just reminisce her time there. He helped with her bags as they entered the house. "Sorry for the last minute, but I wanted to make one last stop."

The person Rosette waited for enhanced her anxiety but she knew it was mandatory. "Rosette." She heard the male voice and she looked up. "Anthony."
