A Rosekook series in the 'slice of life' genre.
Jungkook and Rosé are married but only on paper. With Jungkook's heart fluttering somewhere else and Rosé's faith in this marriage faltering piece by piece, both find themselves tied to each other by...
When I opened my phone, a notification of a message from an unknown number appeared on my phone. I clicked on the notification to view the message. The message was an audio file. I clicked on it without a second thought and the thing I heard turned my whole life upside down. The voice in the audio was Jungkook's. He was badmouthing about me and comparing me to his darling Tzuyu. I listened for a minute or so and then turned off my phone and sat still. I didn't know what to feel or how to react anymore. By then, I knew who the sender of this audio was...Jungkook's loving wife of course. My stomach began to churn and to make things worse, I was in Jungkook's room. The very of being in his room made me loathe myself. It felt like a heavy weight had been placed on my chest. Suddenly the door opened and Jungkook's mom came in. She smiled at me and seeing her smile with such nonchalance only made me feel more suffocated in this house. But, she was no way at fault. So, I feigned a smile and tried my best to maintain my composure. Suddenly, she said something that made me freeze.
JK M: Rosé, I am so delighted to see you after such a long time. How have you been?
Rosé: I have been doing pretty well.
JK M: Rosé, may I say something.
Rosé: What is it, eomma?
JK M: I know I might be asking too much, but I would love to have a grandchild running around the house. Did you and Jungkook decide when you are going to have a child? Jungkook is always busy with his work and I think having a child would let you be more preoccupied as well. Don't you think having a child would be wonderful?
Rosé: Eomma, I haven't thought about it as yet.
JK M: Ahh! Rosé, you and Jungkook both should start thinking about it. I don't know why my foolish boy hasn't still thought about it. I'll have to give him an earful.
I just nodded in response.
JK M: Rosé, why do you look so absent minded today? Did something happen? Are you not feeling well? Usually you have so much to say when I am here.
Rosé: Ohhh Eomma! Mianhae! I am a bit tired today. I guess that's why I am not able to be myself today.
JK M: Ohh! Then, you should rest for a while. I will talk to you during lunch. And I have a surprise for you. I am sure it will light you up.
Rosé: As you say, Eomma!
When she left, I sighed and wondered what I should do next. I did not know staying in this house would make me so suffocated. I just could not take it anymore.
At lunchtime, Eomma again made Jungkook carry me downstairs to the table where the food was immaculately set. I am a big foodie but today, seeing the delicious food made me more sick. And the fact that Jungkook carried me downstairs also contributed a great deal to my sickness.
JK M: We are expecting guests today! They should be here any moment now. Let's wait for them.
Jungkook: Who is coming, Eomma?
JK M: You'll know.
After a moment, the doorbell rang. Jungkook went and opened the gate and in came the last people I wanted to see...MY PARENTS! I never want them to see me like this. They'll know immediately that something has happened. But now, there was no turning back.
Jungkook: Anyeonghasseoyo Ahjussi and Ajumeoni!
Abujae and Eomma greeted Jungkook back and then sat down and asked me how I was doing. I gave them the warmest smile I could afford to feign and then informed that I was in good health and that I got hurt accidentally due to my foolishness when my parents inquired about my foot injury. Then we all sat down to eat. I quitely munched on my food while Tzuyu fawned over Jungkook's mother's words, trying her best to captivate her future mother-in-law with her charms. Everyone laughed and conversed except me. When I was asked a question, I tried to answer laconically or just with a nod.
Rosé F: Jungkook, thank you for taking such good care of my daughter. Knowing my daughter is under your care keeps me at ease. I am greatly indebted.
Jungkook: Ahjussi, I should thank you for always being there by my side and helping me out in the company. It would never have been possible without you. If someone is indebted, then it's ought to be me!
Well, I should mention one thing. Even though Jungkook has no respect for me, he actually has a lot of respect for my Abujae. If I wasn't my abujae's child, me and Jungkook in a marriage would have been impossible. I wish my Eomma and abujae had been blessed with a better daughter. If they had been blessed with a better daughter than me, they would never have to feel disappointed cause in a few days, they would know about this divorce thing. And then, I bet my Abujae especially would never want to see his worthless daughter's face again.
Eomma and Abujae had some work, so they left right after the meal and apologized as they couldn't stay longer. Before leaving, Abujae handed Jungkook an invitation to a formal party. Jungkook's face lit with excitement as he read the card.
Jungkook: So, we can finally fix the deal with them, ahjussi?
Rosé F: I believe so. You have worked on this project for such a long time after all. They invited you to the party. You can go and finalize the deal tomorrow and then you and Rosé can enjoy the party. I wanted to personally give this to you and congratulate you for your upcoming achievement. This will be a great accomplishment for the company. I will also be there at the party. I'll see you both soon. Mrs. Jeon, please accompany your son to the party as well. I hope to see you tomorrow as well.
JK M: Ohh! I would certainly be there to see my son's accomplishment. You do not have to worry about me missing the party, Mr. Park.
In the evening, a nurse came and did the dressing. Unfortunately, I had healed faster than I should have. Now, I will have to attend the party tomorrow.
Next Day....
Jungkook POV:
It's the moment I have been waiting for so long. The deal with the Kims will be finally be fixed. This would mark a huge milestone for my company. I dressed up in the finest tuxedo in my wardrobe. I sat at one edge of the bed and examined some of the documents as I heard the door creaking and out came Rosé from the washroom, dressed in a black backless dress which barely covered her thighs. Her hair had been left untied, possibly in an attempt to cover her back. I never saw her in such a dress before. She never wears such attires so I kept staring at her for a while in amazement. However, without exchanging a single glance, she scurried out of the room as if I never even existed in that room. It did piss me off but I just let it slide. I went to the car and drove it in front of the house. I nonchalantly called out eomma for coming out quickly but little did I know I would be left stunned the next second. Eomma came out accompanied by not only Rosé, but Tzuyu too! She had been dressed in a beautiful bodycon that highlighted her figure in the most attractive way possible. But it wasn't the time to fawn over her. I didn't want her to tag along because of my Eomma but she probably schemed something to come along. I really wish she let me breathe for a while from all this drama.
However, this was only the beginning of what hell was about to break lose within a few hours time.
