Cannes Aftermath

Happiest Girl

Jisoo tucked Rosie and Jennie into her bed. They were both out cold after such an emotional exhausting day. She couldn't seem to stop their tears.

They had talked, cried, talked then cried some more. Jennie may have broke a few things.
Jisoo's mind wouldn't let her sleep, so she took a pillow and a blanket and went to sit on the couch. She needed a little time and space to think.

She ran the last few weeks through her mind multiple times. She couldn't place it, she wanted to find the moment she must have so obviously missed. She thought the four of them painted a perfect picture.

Had they left Lisa out? Had they made her feel unloved or as if she wasn't a part of this? This is why Jennie wanted to talk more first. She should have listened to Jennie. "You're not the one at blame Unnie." Rosie's hoarse voice causes Jisoo to jump slightly. "What are you doing up? You look exhausted, you should go back to bed."

The younger girl ignores her and sits down. "The truth is, she saw something that wasn't there and instead of talking, she overreacted and ran, like she always does."

Rosie continues, "I'm tired of always waiting and being the one doing all the chasing."
Jisoo knows Rosie doesn't mean it, but she also knows that she has never seen her as devastating upset as she was earlier. Rosie actually physically slapped someone. Not just anyone, Lisa.

As if reading Jisoo's mind, Rosie spoke again. Her voice sounded so sad, "I should never have hit her though."

That was also something they were going to need to talk about, because she knew none of them were okay with physically abuse, of any kind. But right now, there are more pressing things to consider.

"How did things get here?" Jisoo hadn't meant to say that out loud so she is shocked when Rosie replies.

"Lisa acts all cool and confident, but deep down, she doesn't really believe in herself. She knows she can dance and sing but she can't seem to grasp that there might be someone or someones that love the real her and not just the image she projects to everyone else."

Maybe the girl could read minds.
Jisoo has to admit, that was pretty deep and pretty true when it came to Lisa.

"I think deep down she knows how we feel, she is just so use to building walls to protect herself that she can't handle when things get real. And trust me when you two had sex, things got really real."

Jisoo knew that Rosie knew they had been together but wasn't sure how much Lisa had shared about it with her.

"I knew I should have paid more attention after that. She only usually lets me see that side, the completely unguarded and vulnerable side, but you blew right past all her walls. You gave her something I couldn't and I think she realized that she doesn't have to look outside of the apartment to get everything she wants and needs anymore."

Rosie pauses to catch her breath before continuing. "Instead of making her happy, like it has the rest of us, it made her feel trapped. What if she admits how she feels and we reject her? So she started to see things that weren't there so she could justify building up those walls again."

Wow Rosie really did see through people didn't she.

Loving, caring, beautiful, kind...
Jisoo's thoughts are interrupted by Rosie straddling her and pressing an aggressive kiss to her lips.

Jisoo's body reacts before her mind and she eagerly kisses the younger girl back.

After several moments of passionate kissing, Rosie's hand slides down over top of Jisoo's breast.

Jisoo's brain finally kicks in and she halts Rosie's hand and dodges her next kiss.

Rosie whines and opens her eyes. They are still puffy from all the crying earlier. Now they looked confused as well as sad.

In order not to cause any more
miscommunication today, Jisoo leans forward and presses a soft kiss to Rosie's lips. "As much as I want to do this, like really really want too, I don't think either of us are in the right mood to make this as good of a memory as it could be."

Rosie looks her in the eyes for several seconds, before she climbs off Jisoo's lap and leans against her.

Jisoo is glad that Rosie seems to understand. She lifts her arm and lets Rosie rest fully against her. It isn't long before she is snoring softly on Jisoo's shoulder.

The girl is so exhausted that she doesn't even flinch when Jisoo's phone rings. Jisoo looks at the caller ID and picks up without saying a word.

"Unnie?"
