Scheduled In -CHAENNIE-

Chapter 13

Taeyeon opened the door and glared. "Jennie isn't here."

Rosé chuckled and looked at Lisa, "Did you think Jennie was here?"

Lisa shook her head.

"No, no, she doesn't think that, because she is in our apartment." Rosé pushed her way into the apartment.

"I somehow doubt Jennie would approve of you just pushing your way into her apartment," Taeyeon sassed.

Rosé just chuckled and shook her head. She decided to not pull any punches because Jennie was worth it. "How much did you have to support Charles?" Rosé asked.

Taeyeon blanched and then morphed into anger, slamming the door shut. "My husband did quite well on his own, thank you very much."

"Oh really. So, was he stupid?" Rosé asked.

Taeyeon about snarled as she charged towards the student.

"I'm taking from your response that he was not. In fact, Jennie says he was a brilliant man. He had many awards in engineering and until the day he died supported Jennie being an artist and living her dream. So, I have to ask you, have you ever actually looked at your daughter's art, or have you just immediately dismissed it? I mean, Jennie has said you wanted her to be a doctor, but let's be real. Even if you can't accept it, your daughter is a doctor. In fact, she may have more schooling and awards than you had at 29, while also running her own successful business," Rosé informed the older woman.

"What is the meaning of this?" Taeyeon asked, clearly pissed.

"What is the meaning of this?" Rosé repeated shaking her head. "The meaning is for you to open your eyes. You put your daughter down continuously, make her feel like she isn't enough continuously. Are you jealous? Are you so bitter that your daughter followed your husband's goal for her instead of yours that you need to bring her down? Tell me. Because all you are doing is destroying your relationship with her. Is that what you want? Do you never want to have a good relationship with your daughter? Are you so against her being successful in anything that isn't medicine, that you need to destroy her constantly? Because, that is exactly what you are doing. If you aren't aware of that, here is your wake up call. So, tell me. Are you aware how you act towards your daughter?"

Taeyeon stood speechless

Rosé stared at the woman, who had birthed Jennie, and yet couldn't understand her. She knew Taeyeon needed time to comprehend.

The doctor's face morphed through different emotions. Tears started flowing down her face. Her jaw visibly clenched. "Does she think I hate her?"

Rosé took a deep breath in. "At this point, I wouldn't be surprised. I know she feels like a huge disappointment whenever you talk to her."

Taeyeon turned away from her. "I just... want her to be okay in the long run."

Rosé sighed.

"Art... it seems so..." Taeyeon couldn't seem to find a way to express her ideas.

"Jennie rings other artists in. She is an incredible artist herself, but she brings others in. She gives promising artists a stage to present their art. So, if the wind changes when it comes to artistical ideas, Jennie keeps a gallery with an eclectic supply of artists. Yet you treat her as an idiot when she is doing incredibly well." Rosé shook her head. "It is ridiculous how much you hate on things and can't understand."

Taeyeon blanched at the accusation.

"This is your wake up call. If you don't get off your high horse and realize that Jennie is incredibly successful and instead continue to put her down, you will lose her. You are destroying your relationship with your only child. Jennie doesn't need someone else to support her, she is doing quite well on her own. She is a smart businesswoman and art scholar while also being incredibly talented. So, open your eyes to the wonder that is your daughter and try being supportive instead of belittling," Rosé said, her voice pleading for the woman in front of her to understand.
