Hard to love : A haesoo love story

Bonus: Coming out

Hello, 

I am sorry I didn't reply to your comments. I was working very hard on this chapter. 

This is a bonus chapter for one of my readers @ANerdyDude. I was trying my best to publish it all end of June but I couldn't. Happy Belated Birthday!!!! I wish you a lifetime of happiness, health and success 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 Thank you for you constant and unwavering support. 

I had to split it in a few parts because it's too long otherwise. 

I won't make you wait too long between part. 

Enjoy!!!!

"Why the fuck would you do this to me tonight? You know how tough tomorrow is going to be!" Jisoo shouted.

"That wasn't the plan, but you found it. What did you want me to do?" Haein shot back.

"Hide it better" Jisoo replied.

"I put it in the pocket of a hoodie, in the back of the closet!" Haein defended himself.

Jisoo just glared at him.

"You know what, I can't deal with this now!" Jisoo said as she stormed into her bedroom. Haein didn't follow her—they both needed some space to cool off, and he didn't want to push her even further.

But when Jisoo emerged just five minutes later with her overnight bag in hand, he hurried over and asked, "Where are you going?"

"I can't be here tonight! I'm going to Rosie's" Jisoo replied firmly.

"Can we at least talk about this?" Haein pleaded.

"There's nothing to talk about!" Jisoo snapped back.

"What do you mean there's nothing to talk about? We've been together for four years and practically living together for three of them. I know the timing sucks, but I at least deserve an answer!" Haein insisted.

Jisoo didn't say another word, instead choosing to leave the room without so much as a glance back. She found herself at Rosie's place sooner than she thought possible, unsure of how she even got there. What the fuck happened to her night? All because of that stupid kimchi!

Tomorrow marks Blackpink's 10th anniversary, but it's also their farewell concert. They extended their contract by three years back in 2023 because they had unfinished dreams as a group. Now, though, each of them has carved out their own solo career. In fact, they've all released more solo music than group albums. One of them even starred in an action-packed drama that premiered last year. It's hard to imagine how they'll pull themselves together for the concert since today's rehearsal was a tear fest. They always knew this day would come, but the experience has brought them so much, and they had the privilege to end this chapter on their terms. Even though their careers may be taking different paths now, their bond will remain unbreakable.

After getting back from rehearsal, Jisoo craved some Ramyeon but realized she was out of Kimchi. She didn't want to bother Haein, who was on a call, so she figured she'd just steal some from her parents' fridge. She quickly showered, threw on her PJ's and grabbed the first hoodie she found – it turned out to be Haein's. It didn't matter; she was only taking the elevator.

While walking, Jisoo casually slipped her hands into the hoodie pockets. To her surprise, her hand brushed against a velvet box that shouldn't have been there. Stopping dead in her tracks, she opened the box and froze. In disbelief, she held what appeared to be an expensive engagement ring. It was incredibly beautiful – not overly flashy, exactly the type she would have chosen for herself.
