pink roses. || l.ty

four.

Friday finally came along from the long week. Rose kept on talking to Taeyong the entire week, making him mad and annoyed since he was trying to keep his goal of avoiding the girl. The both of them had deals to keep, but were both failing at them.

"Taeyong!" Rose exclaims, running up to Taeyong at his locker. He rolls his eyes and turns his back to her.

"What do you want now?" He asks rudely, walking away. She runs in front of him and stops him from walking away. He sighs and looks down at her.

"I was wondering.. if you want to hang out this weekend?" She shyly asks, looking down and twirling her bracelet. He scoffs, making her look up.

"Never." He replies and walks away, bumping into her shoulder. She runs in front of him again, getting stepped on by his foot.

"This is why you don't run in front of me, eh!" He yells at her. She chuckles nervously. Suddenly, she quickly reaches into Taeyong's pocket and grabs his phone. She turns away and starts going through his phone.

"YAH! GIVE THAT BACK!" He yells at her, trying to get the phone out of her hand. After a few twirls and running around in circles around the hallway, Rose finally stops and hands the phone to Taeyong. He glares at her and snatches the phone out of her hand.

"There you go! I put my contact into your phone. I also memorized your number so I already know what number to text you at. And really? 1995? Is that the best password you got?" Rose says, putting her hand on her hip and laughing. Taeyong rolls his eyes.

"Aish, Stop teasing me." He said, making Rose laugh. He gives her a weak smile, seeing her give a wide smile back. He waves her goodbye and leaves to his next class, which was History. Rose squeals to herself and runs along behind him.

After class, Taeyong scurries out of the classroom rushing his way into the lunchroom. He looks behind him and sees nobody following him. He smiles to himself and quickly sits down at his lunch table. The entire week, Taeyong has been rushing his way to the lunchroom and avoiding Rose so she wouldn't sit with him.

Rose was about to enter the lunchroom when someone pulled her hair, dragging her into a janitors closet. The person throws her to the ground, causing her to crash into a couple of mops and buckets. She looks up, and sees not only one person but two people standing in front of her, glaring at her.

"We said to stay away from Lee Taeyong! Yet, you did the opposite! How stupid can you be?!" Jisoo yells at her, pouring another bucket of ice cold water on her head. Rose had no reaction to the water being poured on her head. After they finish, she stands back up. She looks at the girl's who were laughing at her.

"What a stupid SLUT! No wonder Taeyong is annoyed of you!" Lisa yells at her. Rose could suddenly feel tears streaming down her cheeks. She didn't know why she was crying. She wasn't hurt, so why was she crying?

"Why.. Why are you trying to keep Taeyong away from me?" Rose said as her voice cracked.

"Because we are not going to let some stupid girl be with Taeyong! Oh wait, he already doesn't want to be with you!" Jisoo says, laughing. Lisa crosses her arms and smirks.

"The more you are seen with him, the more you will get beaten up. Understand?" She says. Rose chuckles.

"Beat me up all you want, but I am not staying away from him. He's just a teenager! Doesn't he need a life where nobody controls his life?" Rose yells.

"Oh, hun. We aren't controlling his life. We're helping him not get hurt again." Lisa says with Jisoo nodding her head in agreement.

"I don't understand! What's so special about Lee Taeyong? I get that he's handsome but why must you be so protective of him?" Rose yells at the girls. The girl's jaws dropped and their eyes widened. They were shocked. Jisoo suddenly slaps Rose in the face. Rose gasps at Jisoo's action.

"WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?!" Jisoo yells at her, tears forming in her eyes. Rose was still so confused at what was happening. Lisa starts crying profusely.

"What a filthy, cold monster!" Lisa yells, grabbing Jisoo's arm and running out of the closet. Rose stood there inside the closet, not knowing what just happened. She shrugs it off, squeezing the water out of her hair and leaving the closet.

The hallways were empty which meant everyone was still at lunch. Rose sighs and walks to her locker. She opens it, grabs her backpack and other school items and leaves the school.

Rose slowly walked her way home, shivering from her wet school clothes. Her home was only a few blocks away from the high school.

She finally arrives home, taking off her wet shoes and putting them in a dry place. She sees her dad sleeping on the couch, making her smile. She goes into her room and changes into leggings and a white tank top. She lays down on her bed and takes a nap.

Rose wakes up and sits up on her bed, grabbing her phone and holding it in her hand. She checks the time. 5:30. She was thinking of whether or not to text Taeyong. After thinking for a while, she finally unlocks her phone and calls Taeyong.

{"Park Rose?"} Taeyong says through the phone.

"Yup, its me. So.. Can you hang out tomorrow?" Rose asks. She hears Taeyong sigh.

{"I can't. Sorry, I got better plans."} Taeyong replies before hanging up on her. Rose sighs and lays down on her bed, staring up at the ceiling.

Taeyong lays down on his bed and looks up at the ceiling. He didn't feel bad at all that he rejected Rose. He sighs and puts his hands on his face. He could still feel the emptiness inside of him. Everyday felt as if he was going deeper and deeper into a big, dark hole.

"Why does everyday get harder and harder without you, jagiya?"
