Rosé sat alone in front of a large mirror, in a room exclusively for her, inside the Belvedere Mansion at LA County, Southern California. It was her wedding day, and she looked absolutely breathtaking in her flowing white wedding dress. She couldn't help but feel sad though, because despite of how grand and beautiful this wedding was going to be, it was far more different than the way she originally imagined it.

She didn't have her father to walk her down the aisle.

A deep sigh escaped her mouth.

It had been a few minutes since Lisa had left to get BamBam, the one Rosé asked to walk her down the aisle. Her friend had been thrilled to be asked and didn't even think twice to agree. Jennie still thought she shouldn't forgive her friends so soon after what they did to her, but Rosé couldn't bear the thought of not having them in her life. She accepted their explanation whole-heartedly and she could see how genuine they were with their promise to pay her back.

The knocks on the door snapped Rosé out of her reverie. Lisa usually just opens the door after knocking, making her wonder who it could be.

"It's open." The bride spoke.

She watched through the mirror as the door opened and was surprised to see who walked in.

"I didn't get a chance to properly introduce myself." Jennie's father, Dr. Kim, started off timidly, taking reluctant steps towards the blonde.

Rosé got up from her chair and twirled around to face her soon-to-be father-in-law. It was weird, being alone with Jennie's dad. This was only the second time they saw each other and the first time that she actually heard his voice. He sounded so gentle; she couldn't believe he was the same father Jennie talked to her about.

What was she supposed to say? The last time she almost got married, she never really got to the point of meeting Baekhyun's parents. This was certainly a new experience to her, one that she never got the chance to practice.

"Uhm, about the last time, sir, I really want to-"

"It's okay." Dr. Kim interrupted before Rosé could finish her apology. He never really blamed her. "That brat." He shook his head, obviously referring to his stubborn daughter. "You can call me Hojin. Or dad. Or whatever is comfortable with you. But please, stop calling me 'sir'. I'm no royal." He chuckled at himself.

Rosé couldn't help but smile. There was something about him that reminds her so much of Jennie. Did the actress even know how much similarities she had with her father?

"I can call you Rosé, right?" He asked.

"Of course. Or whatever is comfortable with you." Rosé mimicked the doctor, making him smile. "Thank you for coming. It means a lot to me, and Jennie."

"I hope I'm not intruding."

"Oh, you're not. I'm glad that you came by. It's starting to get boring in here."

"Do you want me to call Jennie's grandmother? It will be interesting." He joked. His wife, Jia, had told him all about Rosé's first encounter with his mother and he couldn't help but bring it up.

It was an entertaining and amusing story.

"She scared me enough to last me a lifetime." Rosé joked back, half-meaning it.

What, Eunseo Kim was truly scary.

When their laughter finally died down and they settled in a comfortable silence, Dr. Kim continued.
