My Rose- Jaehyun- NCT

32.

Yuta's POV.

I've spent these last couple weeks continuously beating myself up about what happened. I didn't want sympathy, I just wanted her to know I was sorry. Jaehyun had avoided me, but I didn't expect anything else. My heart hurt to know that I've not only destroyed the relationship between me and Rose, I've destroyed mine and Jaehyun's too. Nevertheless, we still worked hard. Both of us would never let this get in the way of our dreams. We talked when we had to talk and didn't bother each other when we didn't. I could tell that his relationship with Rose had gotten stronger, and I was slowly but surely getting over her. It had always been hard for me to lose people ever since Jiwoo broke my heart. We met in high school. She was popular and I wasn't, so she got dared to fake date me. Eventually she 'fell in love' with me. Ironically that was straight after I told her I was training to be an idol at Sm Town. She used me as an accessory that she could show of to people. She went behind my back and cheated multiple times. The whole relationship was abusive. She fucked me up, but in my mind she was still perfect. And although it's no excuse for what I did, it played a massive part in the reason. Not too long after I debuted, I broke up with her. My contract didn't agree with dating so I let her go. And I haven't regretted it.

That night I had been drinking; my mind wasn't thinking right. The past couple weeks of thinking had made me realize that Rose reminded me of Jiwoo. Not in a negative way. I knew I needed to talk to Rose and at least try to apologize. I didn't expect her to forgive me, but I needed to try. I jogged out of the dorm and called a taxi. "Take me to the Wang tea room please"

Rose's POV

I had begun to think about quitting my job. These early shifts were beginning to get me down. 'Maybe I could work at Jaehyun's company?' I quickly shook off the thought, knowing that we'd end up getting caught. The idea of me ruining Jaehyun's career still haunted me, but his love was so addicting. I could stay with him forever and I'd never get bored. His cute giggle would never become annoying. I could poke his sweet dimples and run my fingers through his hair for the rest of my life. He really was the one and I didn't have any plan to let him go.

I was at the back of the café wiping down tables when I heard the café bell ring. I quickly rushed to the till. "Hey welcome to the Wang tea room. What can I-" My words froze as I looked up to see a miserable Yuta. Dark bags hung under his eyes and his hair was messy. I wanted to run away, but my feet were stuck to the ground. My mouth was hung open as he spoke. "Can I please explain?" His voice was filled with sorrow. I nodded slightly. After all, what's wrong with hearing him out?

We had been talking for hours. He had explained everything about Jiwoo and if I'm being honest, I truly felt bad for him. His pain reminded me of my pain with Taeyong. "I promise I won't make another move on you. I respect your relationship with Jaehyun and I wish you the best." A small smile spread across my face as I gave him a small hug.

"I hope we can still be friends Yuta" His eyes lit up.

"Id like that"
