It was the end of the day at school. Nobody has heard or seen Taeyong the rest of the school day. Everyone was a little concerned about him but just decided to leave him alone. His friends have learned to just let the young man be since he's gone through a rough time.
Jaehyun and Rose went straight to the park after school to just take a walk together. It was still wet from the rain and the smell of it was in the air. They both didn't care. The two of them loved going to the park and being outside in the beautiful nature.
"My hair is still damp from this morning!" Rose said, touching her hair. Jaehyun laughed and looked down at his shoes.
"Yeah, my shoes are still wet too. My eomma will get mad at me for it but I don't care-It was worth it." He said, looking at Rose. She turned to look at him, both blushing and smiling. Jaehyun suddenly stopped and grabbed Rose's hand.
"Look, I have something to tell you," said Jaehyun, nervously. "Rose, I was wondering if you would-"
"Is that Taeyong?" She interrupted, pointing to a man laying down on the wet grass by a tree. Jaehyun looks over to where she's pointing and sighs.
"Yep.." Rose runs over to where Taeyong is lying down at, letting go of Jaehyun's hand. Taeyong had his hands behind his head with his eyes closed, humming some tune. Rose bends down and taps his shoulder. He opens his eyes and looks at Rose. He jumps and sits up immediately, not expecting to see her. Rose giggles.
"What if it rains again, huh? You'll get all wet and cold." She says, sounding concerned. Taeyong rolls his eyes.
"I'll be fine. I like the rain anyway." He replied, lying back down.
"You ran out today, how come?" She asks. Taeyong takes a deep breath and sighs deeply.
"Just needed to be alone for a while, somewhere where nobody would think I would be at. I certainly did not think hard enough." Taeyong says, making Rose sigh.
"We were all worried about you, even me." She replied sincerely. Taeyong scoffs.
"I doubt that." Rose turns and looks at Jaehyun who was standing next to her. Jaehyun looked a little disappointed. He was planning on asking her out but his chance got ruined.
"Oh yeah, what was the thing that you were going to ask me?" She asks, pleadingly. Taeyong opens his eyes, looking at Jaehyun. Jaehyun clears his throat and shakes his head.
"Ah.. It was nothing- Don't worry about it." He replied, swallowing the lump in his throat. She shrugs and looks back at Taeyong. He had a smirk plastered on his lips.
"Well, I have to go now before my appa gets worried." She says, walking over to Jaehyun and giving him a hug. She waved goodbye to both Taeyong and Jaehyun. As she walks away, Jaehyun runs his hands through his hair and groans in frustration. Taeyong snickers.
"Didn't get to ask her, eh?" Taeyong asks, sitting up. Jaehyun rolls his eyes.
"Why do you care? You're not the one asking her out." He replies with a harsh tone in his voice. Taeyong chuckles and stands up.
"I don't care, I'm just observing." He says, crossing his arms. Jaehyun sighs.
"This is harder than what I thought it would be." Jaehyun sadly said. Taeyong's anger and "jealously" was gone and he was having fun teasing Jaehyun. I'm somehow glad he hasn't done it yet, but why?

"Homework time!!" Mark said, coming into Taeyong's room with textbooks and packets. Taeyong rolls his eyes and sits down at his desk. Mark sits next him and opens the math textbook.
After 3 hours of helping with homework, Taeyong sits back in his chair and puts his head back, covering his face with his hands. Mark pats him on his back.
"Good work today, hyung." He says, standing up and walking away with his textbooks. However, Taeyong calls him back.
"Mark, can I ask you something?" He asks shyly. Mark turns around and smirks, setting his stuff on his bed and sitting down next to him at his desk.
"Why am I feeling so... angry? and even... jealous? I haven't felt this way in a very long time." He says, twiddling his thumbs.
"SoOoOo.. This about Rose, eh?" Mark asks, bumping into his shoulder a little bit. Taeyong scoffs.
"Ya! I don't know. I really don't know what's happening or what I'm feeling. What if I'm not even upset about her or... my jagiya." He says, looking out into the window.
"Look, Taeyong. Whatever is going to happen with you or with our friends or in our lives, I'm sure all she wants is for you to be happy even though she's not here to make you happy." Mark replies. Taeyong looks at his brother, tears are filling in his eyes.
"She was the only one who made me happy. I only trusted her. Only her. I'm not ready to let go. Not now."
"And you don't have to let go. At least not now. It takes time. All the happiness she gave you can help you find and build stronger happiness. You just have to let it." Mark says, patting his brother on the back. Taeyong chuckles.
"You're younger than me yet your advice is so much better than mine." Taeyong jokingly says, smiling while a tear rolls down his cheek. Mark laughs and stands up, walking towards the door.
"Oh and Taeyong," Mark said, stopping at the doorway and turning to look at his brother. "You must fight for your happiness."

"Thank you for helping me out with dinner, sweetheart. I didn't realize how much I've messed up the recipe." Mr. Park says while washing the dishes.
"Of course, Appa. We're lucky that the internet always has recipes." Rose replies, smiling to herself and she does her homework on the table. Suddenly, her phone vibrates. It was a text. She's not allowed to use her phone while doing homework but decided to open it anyway. The text was from someone she would NEVER imagine asking her this.
