Rainbow

Chapter 23

Rosé's POV
I was surprised when Jisoo unnie asked Seulgi oppa to be friends with her. Unnie is not the type who initiates to be friends with anyone. She even declined it when she knew that person liked her or that person looked like a bad guy.

But unnie acted contrary to her normal even though Seulgi oppa seemed to like her and have a bad guy look because of his shoulder-length hair. But I think he's kind. And I think I already saw him somewhere.

Seulgi oppa and Jisoo unnie were talking to each other since we were waiting for our order until we started to eat as if they were old friends. Their talk just interrupted when Hae In oppa asked Seulgi oppa.

"Do you have practice tomorrow, Seulgi?" Hae In oppa asked.

Seulgi oppa nodded, "Yes, hyung. But it will be in the afternoon."

"When is Redpink's concert in Japan?"

"It will be on Saturday and Sunday next week." Seulgi oppa answered after he swallowed his food.

"Wait." Jennie unnie chimed in with her palm raised in the air. "How are you involved with the Redpink group?" She asked Seulgi oppa in confusion.

"Oh. I think hyung didn't mention it to you. I'm a member of the Groovy dance crew under SG Entertainment. And our team will be one of the backup dancers of Redpink in their concert in Japan." Seulgi oppa answered.

"Really? That's why your aura is like a dancer. Are you close with any of the idols from SG Entertainment?" Lisa asked interestedly.

Seulgi oppa nodded, "I am friends with Redpink members, Moonbyul noona, and D.O. hyung. But I have good relationships with other members of Wawa Girls and Boys' World, and also AXE group."

"Are the other members of Boys' World hard to approach, so you're not friends with them? Like Mr. Park Chanyeol, for example." Lisa asked and glanced at me with a teasing look.

Lisa softly laughed when I nudged her discreetly. My members knew I was dating Chanyeol oppa, but our managers didn't know. And I don't have plans to say it because I'm sure they will tell me to break with him because we still have a dating ban.

Seulgi oppa chuckled, "It's not that they are like that. It just happened that I and D.O hyung's personalities just clicked. And idols, including you, are not obligated to be friends with their backup dancers. Also, Chanyeol hyung is a good person and treats me and my team nicely."

We nodded at Seulgi oppa's answer. After a while, I looked at him in surprise, and I think the blood on my face left me while looking at him when I realized something. Oh, crap! I think he's the one who saw me and Chanyeol oppa together when someone took a picture of us!

And I confirmed it when Seulgi oppa chuckled when he saw my reaction like he read my mind that I only remembered him now. But my nervousness was gone when he gestured like he was zipping his mouth with his hand and gave me a reassuring smile afterward. Now I understand why he said what he said before.

"What's with your face, Rosé?" Hae In oppa asked.

I looked at Hae In oppa and thought of what to say when Seulgi oppa answered for me. "She just realized I'm more handsome than you, hyung." He looked at us after. "Anyway, if you remember, I'm the one who asked Joohyuna for your sign." I sighed in relief when he changed the topic.

"Are you referring to Irene unnie?" Jennie unnie asked.

Seulgi oppa nodded, "Oh, yes. Her."

"So you're that person. I remembered that time when Irene unnie asked me for our signature when we met last time. She said it was for a friend of her. And I think you're really her friend because that was the first time she asked me that favor." Jennie unnie said.

"Really? I think Joohyuna was affected by my acting before." Seulgi oppa chuckled.

"Why Joohyuna? Are you older than her?" Jisoo unnie asked.

"No, she's older than me. Joohyuna means Joohyun plus noona."

Jisoo unnie nodded. "Do you like her?" She wiggled her eyebrows playfully.

Seulgi oppa nodded, "Yeah. As a friend."

"I don't believe that. Irene unnie is pretty and many boys like her."

Seulgi oppa chuckled, "Yes, I admit she's pretty and has a good personality too. But actually, the one I liked in the Redpink group is Wendy."

"What is the thing that has Wendy unnie that doesn't have Irene unnie?" Lisa asked.

"They're both pretty and kind. Maybe because of Wendy's swag? I don't know. Because you know, sometimes we can't explain why we like that person even though the others also have what they have. Like for example, Jisoo and Jimin noona are the same pretty, but hyung likes Jimin noona." Seulgi oppa looked at Jisoo unnie. "Please don't be mad at my example." He said and scratched his head coyly.

Jisoo unnie laughed softly, but I knew she was hurt. Me and our other members knew that she liked Hae In oppa. "Why would I be mad? That was a good example. You're correct. I'm pretty."

"Yes, you're pretty. You're actually my second crush in idols. Oh shit!" Seulgi oppa covered his mouth again in shock. "Why did I say that?" He talked to himself and messed his hair in frustration. I saw Hae In oppa shake his head and continue to eat.

Jisoo unnie laughed, "Don't worry. Many people confessed their feelings to me."

Seulgi oppa looked at her in embarrassment. "I hope you won't feel awkward towards me because of what I said."

Jisoo unnie smiled. "I won't. I promise."

Seulgi oppa sighed in relief. "Thank you."

After we ate and talked, we decided to go home. We were only waiting for Hae In oppa in the van after we bid goodbye to Seulgi oppa. Hae In oppa is still outside, talking to his cousin about some matters.

"Unnie, why did you ask Seulgi oppa to be your friend?" Jennie unnie interrogatively asked Jisoo unnie.

"Honestly, my first intention is because Seulgi oppa is related to oppa. And I wanted to be close to him to know more about oppa." Jisoo unnie answered.

"Like, you're just using him?" Lisa asked.

"It seems like that, but not in a bad way. But you know what, even in the short time we were with Seulgi oppa, I felt like he was my friend for a long time and already felt comfortable around him even though he said he had a crush on me." Jisoo unnie said and laughed.

"Are you not mad at him for his example earlier?" Jennie unnie asked.

Jisoo unnie shook her head. "I admit, I was hurt at what he exampled because it's true. But I'm not mad at him."

"Perhaps, is there a chance that you will like Seulgi oppa?" I asked.

Jisoo unnie was about to answer when we heard a motorcycle horn and saw Seulgi oppa drive away. After that, Jisoo unnie shrugged and answered before Hae In oppa entered the van.

"Maybe."
