ROSE

To say her mum was shocked to see her would be an understatement but she had taken one look at her daughter and just hugged her. After that she's made a cup of tea for them both and sat her daughter down.

" whats wrong?" She asked .

Rose's mum was even shorter than Rose standing just under 5ft , she was in her early 50s and cuddly , well that was how Rose's niece described her. A cute way of saying over weight. With her white wavy hair pulled back in a bun she reminded Rose of pictures of Mrs santa clause.

She tried really hard , she didn't want to tell her mum anything yet , she hadn't even seen a midwife, she didn't know if everything was okay even, so she just shook her head slowly and fought back the tears. " I'm OK mum , " she said wearily , " just been a rough few weeks, with Christmas round the corner I got homesick and wanted to see you "

She even managed a smile and took hold of her mumd hands across the little table.

Her mum patted her hand and said " you know I don't believe you right ? " but she smiled and said " you'll tell me when you're ready "

She took a sip of her tea, her mum really was the best in the world, she's raised her and her sister alone since forever, she was also the strongest women she knew..

" do you want some lunch ?" Her mum asked , Rose shook her head, she'd left Seoul at 8pm but because of the time difference it wasn't even lunch time here at home. She was aware she'd barely eaten in the last couple of days but she was too exhausted, she unconsciously held her tummy as she made a mental promise to do better tomorrow.

She told her mum she was going for a nap and found comfort in the fact her old room was exactly as she left it . Including a large poster of Rm left over from her uni days . Looking at his smiling dimpled face all the tears she'd held back apon seeing her mum fell and she had to hug her face into her pillow so her mum wouldn't hear ..

Her sleep came eventually but not soundly , her dreams plagued by Rm.

Once Suga left, he grabbed a note book and sat at his desk. No more tears , just questions he wanted answers to, but one of the very first things he had to do was get rid of his bloody blonde hair. He ruffled it as he said this , he was way to recognisable looking like this .

Suga had said he'd go in his car later to the shops and grab some black hair dye for him. He didn't even want to wait until he could see a stylist .

Secondly, find out the owner of the gallery where Rose's tea sets were being displayed.

Thirdly go back to her apartment and see if he could gain access

Fourthly go to her work shop.

Her email ?!! He jumped up excitedly , remembering all the information that had been on her business page ..

He typed Rose's tea sets..nothing , confused he panicked for a moment then realised it was Rosa's tea . He quickly retyped and pulled up her email address and wrote it on note pad. He knew he was too emotional right now and he needed to be calm and actually think through what he was going to write, because truth be told what would he say ?

Come back and carry on being my ..what ? ..this stopped him for a moment, everything he'd ever said about no girlfriends still stood true, plus in the next few years they all had to do their military service, could he really be ' hi Rose , be my girlfriend, go through all the media hell that they were bound to get and then say by the way I'll see you in 18 months ' she'd be on her own surrounded by media vultures and wicked netizens that believed he belonged to them and Bts alone.

He banged his fist on the desk causing a little figurine to fall and land in 2 pieces, he swore and picked the pieces up and threw them in the bin.

He came back to his desk, his head was pounding, he looked at the clock where was Suga with the dye ?

He didn't want to waste any of today , he felt blessed with his brothers, they were all doing other things today that didn't require him , so he needed to get as much done today as possible .

He gave up trying to answer the question of what to say when he found her and concentrate on finding her first.

He knew her address so using his computer it wasn't difficult to find the the estate agent in charge of selling it.
He rang them asking for a viewing time .

He ticked that off his list ,

Next he ran into the bedroom and dug out the invitation Rose had given him and he quickly rang the proprietor and made an appointment with her later this afternoon.

He ticked that off the list.

He tapped his pen wondering how he could get access to her workshop .

Every now and then a wave of pain , or despair would come over him but he pushed it back everytime, refusing to believe he'd never see her again , refusing to acknowledge that in this day and age some one could actually just dissappear.

By the time he had to leave to look around Rose's house Suga still wasn't back.

He txt him quickly asking where he was and he'd replied almost immediately saying he hadn't been able to find the right dye and Rm should just book the stylist to come.

This was an annoying setback but Suga hated being seen outside alone the most so he let him off. The stylist could be there in 2 hours which gave him just enough time to view the apartment ,get back , sort his hair and then go to the art gallery.

The emotions where kept in check as long as he was busy .

He grabbed his bike helmet , mask and glasses and set off..

' I will find you Rose.....he thought
