Eternal Devotion of Manifest/Chaennie

Chapter 25

(Surprise you assholes!!)

It was fate that brought Rosé and Jennie together. In her previous life, Jennie loved Rosé so extremely that she somehow recollected even the slightest elements about her.

Rosé's face appeared in Jennie's dreams, so deeply etched in her memory that even her breath seemed to recall the taste of Rosé's gentle exhale. Rosé died in the agony of Jennie's detachment. They both fought to be with each other, yet nothing worked, especially when others endeavoured to come between them.

They died, and now fate has knitted a new spell, bringing them together once more. This time, Jennie openly shows her love, while Rosé's upbringing compels her to deny her feelings for Jennie. Destiny has reversed their roles, forcing them to face each other's past life challenges. Will they end up together, or will chronology repeat itself?

"Be careful, Rosie!" Jennie clamoured, her voice laced with concern, as Rosé precipitously took off her helmet, barely unclasping it in time.

Rosé flashed a wide smile, her eyes lighting up as she spotted her friend. "Jisoo!" she called out, waving her hand eagerly and running towards the entrance of the building.

They had exclusively arrived at Jennie's family firm, the sleek, modern dark structure looming tall with reflective glass panels catching the sunlight. The manicured grounds were squeaky clean, with carefully arranged flower pathways and neatly trimmed hedges lining the path to the entrance. Jennie's sport bike gleamed under the sun, an attestation to her love for speed and freedom.

Jennie observed Rosé run off, her heart sinking. She had hoped to use this ride to work as a chance to show Rosé her love, but once again, Rosé seemed to be detouring her affections. Jennie's hands tightened around the helmet she was holding, feeling a pang of heartbreak and a wave of insecurity wash over her.

She glanced towards Jisoo, who worked as an intern in the company. Jisoo was a bright, energetic presence, always eager to learn and full of enthusiasm. Seeing Rosé run to her with such elation left Jennie feeling even more sidelined.

Rosé reached Jisoo, and the two friends embraced, laughing and chatting animatedly.

Jisoo was sipping coffee on her lunch break after taking a walk, "Hey!" she could not help her tone because Rosé was still her friend.

Rosé drew back taking Jisoo's coffee cup, "Coffee? Without me?" she smiled sipping the espresso. "Damn, it's good"

"What are you doing here? Don't you have wife to take care of? And her siblings" Jisoo crossed her arms narrowing her eyes at Rosé.

Rosé sighed, "I'm worried about you. Did they do anything? I mean, did anyon—"

Jisoo burst out laughing, "How can you think anyone could do something to me? And even if they tried, they wouldn't be safe for long."

"Ohh... I'm scared" Rosé smiled consuming the coffee.

Jennie discerned a twinge of vexation mixed with despair. She took a deep breath, trying to push down the frustration that was bubbling up inside her. It hurt to see Rosé so efficiently distracted, her affection seemingly directed everywhere but at Jennie. While Jennie cannot comprehend how hard Rosé was trying to contain her feelings for her by distracting herself from Jisoo.

Taking a moment to compose herself, Jennie walked towards the entrance, her steps heavy. She compelled a smile, not wanting to show her susceptibility. Inside, she was a whirlwind of emotions—love for Rosé, hurt from her indifference, and a gnawing fear that she might never be able to break through the walls Rosé had built around her heart.
