Bodyguard

Chapter 25

Y/N POV

Rose and I got back to my apartment quickly. The walk from the Blackpink apartment to mines was very silent. Rose didn't want to say anything and I didn't want her to feel obligated to say anything so we were just walking in silence. I could feel that she was so sad and I felt so bad. I wanted to hold her hand during our walk just so she knew that she wasn't alone and that I was here for her but not knowing if the paparazzi was around I didn't want to risk anything. Once we got into my apartment I pulled her into my arms. 

"Rose, things will be aright. I promise." I spoke while hugging her. She was holding onto me so tight and I could feel the tears coming out of her eyes all over again. "We will be alright." I added in a whisper tone in my voice. She started to pull back from the hug. 

"How will things be alright? You will be in Australia and I'll be here in Korea. Maybe, I could convince the girls to let you live with us in our apartment. So that you don't have to leave." Rose spoke still in my arms but just looking up at me with tears slowly falling from her eyes. I let go with one hand and was wiping her tears away as they showed up. 

"Babe, that wouldn't be logical. The CEO would definitely know something is up if I just stayed at your place and didn't get onto the plane." I said. "We could do the long distance for a little bit until this whole thing is over. The CEO said that he would rehire me once the world reopens and once you ladies have more work to do." I added trying to show her the bright side. 

"But, to have you that far away from me for who knows how long. Y/N, I just got you back. Why am I losing you so quickly?" Rose sadly said and put her head back against my chest. 

"You aren't losing me. There is no way you could lose me. Rose, I love you. I will be back, I promise." I said rubbing little circles on her back. Rose's head shot off of my chest so quickly. 

"You love me?" Rose asked wide-eyed. We haven't said the word "love" since we got back together. We promised we were going to move slowly, well slowly in the way of saying the "L-O-V-E word" just because we haven't been around each other for so long that we didn't want to confuse love for lust. We both know we have unconditionally love for each other but to actually love each other in this new relationship. It was a different scenario. 

"Yes Rose. I love you. That will never change." I repeated it. A huge smile graced her face and that was the first time I have seen her smile since I broken the news to her and the rest of Blackpink. 

"I love you too." Rose said and I leaned in to give her a kiss. It was a very romantic kiss, nothing forced, nothing rushed. It was a kiss that showed both our emotions on how much we actually love each other. 

"Baby, trust me. We will be okay." I said once I pulled away from the kiss and with one hand cupped her cheek. "I love you and no matter the distance we will be okay." I finished speaking. Rose just nodded her head in my hand and that gave me the feeling that we would be okay. I let go of Rose and held her hand to guide her fully into the apartment now. 

"I need to start packing. Jin texted me saying that there should be boxes on their way to my apartment right now." I said once we fully got into the apartment. 

"Where would you like to start? I'm going to help you." Rose asked and made her way to the photo on the wall of Tony, Rose and I. She just stood there and stared at the photo. 

"I think that will be the last thing we pack." I said coming up behind her and snaking one of my arms around her waist and giving her a kiss on the top of her head. 

"That is what I was thinking too." Rose said turning her head to face me. I leaned down and gave her a little peck on the lips. 

We started packing up the living room but taking our time because Rose would go through something and ask me questions or talk about the old memories that connected with the item. Music was also blasting in the apartment so that we wouldn't be in complete silence but there was definitely an elephant in the room. Rose and I haven't really talked about our relationship just yet but we still had time to figure it out. We skimmed the topic but we didn't really talk about if we were going to actually stay together or to break up but still keep communication or to fully just break up and have no contact. The last option was the one that I was most scared of.
