Lost and found

Rose woke up and rubbed her eyes. She managed to get just enough sleep to not feel sleepy the next morning.

"I'm going to school, see you later." Rose told her 'mom', without calling her.

It sounded a little rude, but her 'mom' was very understanding and decided to give her more time to sort out her feelings and hatred.

At school, Rose greeted her best friends with her usual bubbly smile. Jennie smiled back.

"Guess who's here.." Jisoo said, rolling her eyes. "The self proclaimed Rose's friend, park jimin."

Rose stared at the figure behind jisoo in shock and Lisa nodded.

"What are you.." Jimin cut Rose off.

"We are friends now, aren't I right?" He pulled Rose's hand. "Come with me."

Jimin brought Rose to a well in the school garden. Inside, it looked very deep.

"This well here, I once threw in a wishing coin, wishing for my parents to be healthy. And it probably worked, because now they own a three storey house. If you wish for something, it might just come true." Jimin said, smiling as he passed Rose a coin.

"Jimin, why are you being so nice to me?" Rose asked. This question was always asked in Korean dramas, and the male lead will always answer, "Because I like you." But of course, Rose didn't want jimin to answer with that answer.

"Because I trust you." Jimin said. "Look, you are the first girl I told this story to. So yeon and the other girls didn't even get a chance." Gazing at Rose's eyes, he quickly changed the topic.

"So...make your wish!"

Rose cut off the stare and started wishing. She wished to see her real mom, and wished to find true love someday when she grows older. Hopefully two years later, as she is 18 years old now.

"That's one long wish." Jimin said, looking at Rose. "And you are not that ugly after all."

"Who said I ugly? And I wished for two things, alright?" Rose snapped.

"Do you want me to grant ONE  of your wish for you?" Jimin smirked. "Is it finding true love?"

Rose looked at jimin blankly. How did he know that? Did he read her mind?

"I..uh.." Rose stuttered.

"Don't look so blank. I know what you're thinking. Not admitting is equal to admitting the fact that you wished for it." Jimin smiled.

"Yahh." Rose slapped jimin's back. "Let's go back to class."

During history class, Mr Choi talked about ancient fantasy. About romance, and many girls sighed with envy. The guys just yawned with boredom. Lulu was reading her textbook which she had read for 10 times again and again.

"Now I want you to pair up. Lisa with Jennie, jisoo with so yeon, taehyung with lulu and...jimin with Rose." Mr Choi announced. Rose's eyes widened. Taehyung pouted.

"Why lulu?" Taehyung kept repeating until Jennie shushed him down.

"I want to partner Jennie!!" Taehyung created a fuss.

Taehyung and Jennie were known as the Gucci couple, and since they like each other anyway, they hanged out everyday.
Taehyung loved Jennie more than anyone. He even rejected momo, the once popular girl that decided to transfer to another school after taehyung dumped her (read my taennie fanfic after I publish the other chapters).

"FINE." Mr Choi shook his head. "Lisa will be with lulu then."

Lisa nodded. She was okay with anyone, because she would just keep on blabbering and chattering to the person, not letting the other party speak at all.

"So. Rose. It's you again." Jimin grinned, like as if he was hoping for it. "You, and me. See? It's fate."

"FATE?!" Rose pushed jimin lightly. "More like a nightmare."

"What?" Jimin felt offended.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to offend you or your loving self." Rose joked some more.

"Look into the mirror. Even a hippo wouldn't like you." Jimin sneered. Rose snuck out her tongue.

"So what? A hippo doesn't like me but you do. Omo....are you a hippo?" Rose joked again.

Jimin turned around, annoyed that a girl could win him in a simple conversation.

"I was just joking. How would you like me?" Rose laughed. Jimin turned around and smiled.

"That's true."

"Students, stop with your work." Mr Choi said. "There's a new transfer student to take momo's old space. His name is mark."

Rose suddenly stopped whatever she was doing and started blushing. It was not that obvious as she tried to hide it. But jimin clearly could see that Rose had a crush on mark.

"Isn't that your childhood friend, mark? You used to like him!" Jisoo gasped. Jennie looked at jimin to see his reaction.

"Mark can sit beside..Ro-" jimin cut off mr choi's sentence.

"He can sit at my sit. The sun is too bright. I'll take the seat next to Rose." Jimin said, looking at so yeon to receive a nod of approval from her.

"He should sit with Rose." So yeon chimed in.

"Alright then, you may move." Mr Choi arranged his glasses.

"Hello Rose!" Mark whispered as he walked past Rose. Rose smiled the sweetest smile she could smile and waved back at him in the most lady like manner.

"Yahh. Do you like him or what?" Jimin asked. Rose nudged him.

"Didn't you hear jisoo unnie?"

"Okay. Fine. I did. But how can he look better than me? I mean like you fall for him but not me?" Jimin said, frustrated.

"I'll fall for you. But it's the falling down on the floor 'fall', and not the other meaning." Rose said, rolling her eyes.

But inside, she felt a little confused. She didn't seem to like mark that much anymore.
