In Love Since Forever

Chapter 4

There was a lot to do, despite the small number of guests attending this wedding, there were a lot of decorations to put up, and lots of food to organize, not to mention she still needed to finish her Maid of Honour speech, so by the end of the day she was already exhausted.

Lisa made her way up to bed later than everyone else, having stayed up to put the finishing touches on her speech. She slowly pushed the door open, and smiled when she saw her best friend was already fast asleep.

She looked cute, her hair spread across the pillow, her face relaxed, her sleep shirt pulled down over her shoulder, revealing porcelain skin that Lisa very much wanted to press her lips on.

She took a deep breath, and pulled her eyes away, knowing it was creepy to stare like this. She needed to get over this stupid crush.

Or maybe she could get over it if it was just a crush. But it was not, she was head over heels for Rosé and those feelings were showing no signs of going away anytime soon. If anything, they were only getting stronger with every passing moment they spent together.

Lisa grabbed her pajamas and sidestepped into the bathroom to get ready herself. Once back in the room, she only hesitated for a moment before she slipped under the covers on the opposite side of Rosé. It was not like she had another choice of sleeping arrangements and Rosé was right, they'd shared a bed before, and there was nothing wrong with two friends sharing a bed.

Lisa forced herself to relax, but the smell of Rosé's shampoo hit her senses as she burrowed deeper into the covers. She could hear quiet breathing across the bed, and could almost feel the warmth emanating from the body beside her.

She'd give anything to be able to cross that small distance between them, to wrap her body around Rosé's and never let go.

But she couldn't, so instead, she closed her eyes and just hoped sleep would take her soon so she could stop thinking about just how deep she was in with her feelings for Rosé.

isoo looked lovely, waiting for Jennie to walk down the aisle.

Lisa could almost feel her excited energy, Jisoo was looking about ready to run down the aisle to find Jennie if the wedding didn't start soon.

Jisoo's face completely softened just as the music started, that was when she knew Jennie had appeared. A look down the aisle confirmed it, Jennie was also looking captivating as she slowly walked down the aisle, her arm tucked through Jihoon's, who was also her best man.

And Lisa knew she should be watching them, knew her eyes should be on her sister and her almost sister-in-law as they both tried not to cry, but she couldn't help but glance out into the small crowd, her eyes easily found Rosé like they always had so many times since she was standing up here.

Rosé looked beautiful in her dress, her hair loose, hanging around her shoulders, and it was not like she hadn't seen her already today, she'd helped her pick out a dress, they'd gotten ready together earlier, but she looked fabulous and Lisa was having a hard time keeping her eyes off her.

Rosé's eyes met hers, brown and affectionate as she smiled. Lisa's cheeks heat up at being caught, even more so when Rosé nodded her head towards Jisoo and Lisa turned to find Jennie had made her way down the aisle, hand in Jisoo's as they turned to face Jiyong, who was their celebrant today.

Lisa had been there when Jisoo had asked Jiyong if he'd officiate her wedding, Jiyong had looked close to tears as he'd said yes.

Speaking of tears, Lisa had some of her own in her eyes as she watched Jisoo and Jennie say their vows, as she watched them share their first kiss as a married couple.

"You're my wife," she heard Jisoo laugh before she kissed Jennie again and Lisa's heart felt full.

She was so happy they found each other.

Lisa's eyes found Rosé again as Jisoo and Jennie walked back down the aisle together.

An image flashed through her mind, one she shouldn't entertain because it'd only hurt more when it wouldn't come true, but she let the thought sit in her mind for a moment, one where it was not Jisoo and Jennie walking down the aisle together, but her and Rosé instead.

Unrequited love is hard.
