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...
After eomma had left, there was dead silence in the room. Neither me nor Rosé dared to utter a single word. Rosé sat on a chair nearby and scrolled through her phone, not glancing at me even for a split second. I did not know what to say to her either but the silence submerging the room was killing me at this point, so I decided to make the first move.
Jungkook: Rosé....if you don't mind, can I inquire about something?
Rosé put down her phone and stared at me and said hmm with an unreadable expression.
Jungkook: Why did you come back?
Rosé: I just came here to help out Mrs. Jeon. She has been really nice to me....
She paused and was about to go back to what she had been doing but she spoke again
Rosé: I understand that you don't like me so I'll try my best to stay out of your way. You wanted a divorce right...please get the papers ready. I'll sign it. I came back only to repay the kindness your family has shown mine through all these years. I'll leave after my goal's been accomplished. Please don't assume that I am forgiving you...I gave our marriage a thought over and over again and I came to one conclusion that I was just too naive. I don't think I can ever continue being in a marriage with you. My foolishness has just led me to tarnish my dad and my family's respect and integrity. I tried my best and put all my effort into this marriage. I even tried my best to love you, but an ignorant person like you will NEVER EVER understand the extent of my emotions and what I had to go through. You exploited EVERY possible way to show me my worth and made me feel awful about myself. You never even TRIED! You never tried making things work while I suffered and made myself believe you'll see my efforts someday. I may lack the finances, the influence and all that shit that you have but still, despite my inferiority, I now realize that I deserve someone better. I just cannot continue to torture myself through living with someone who never ever considered me a human, let alone showing a bit of affection. You only know how to play with people's feelings. I was such a shameless woman to have kept on persisting my way through this toxic dead relationship. I feared the moment when I would have to walk out of this marriage and how disappointed my parents would be, but now it doesn't bother me anymore. I wish to start my life anew and this time I'll NEVER be independent and won't waste my tears unnecessarily...I always wanted to make you hear my side of the story someday and I guess now that I've vented it all out, I will not have any regrets when I'll be starting a new life.
Tears built up at the corner of Rosé's eyes as she spoke, however she immediately wiped them away. Her countenance screamed confidence, resolve and fearlessness as if she was a whole different person. I was flabbergasted after hearing all that she had to say to me. My chest felt like it was shattering into a thousand pieces as she spoke. A fit of rage overcame me at the reconnaissance of all my past actions towards her. I felt embarrassed at myself and could not look her in the eye anymore. I stayed silent for a while, reluctantly searching for words that I should say in response to such an unexpected confession she had just thrown my way.
Jungkook: Rosé.....can we start over? I know I have no right to even utter these words, but I still want a second chance. I wish to treat you the way I should have treated you all along.
I said desperately. Rosé was taken aback by my response and astonishment was prevalent on her face. She sighed and after a long pause, she retorted
Rosé: Jungkook, I am afraid I can NEVER love you again. WE ARE OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
