Lost and found

Rose walked towards mark during recess and shyly waved. Mark saw her and waved back.

"Annyeong park Rose!" Mark grinned, making Rose's heart flutter.

"Hello, mark." Rose shyly answered.

"You look prettier than before. Nice hairstyle!" Mark said, patting Rose's head softly. "And did you get your ears pierced?"

In Korean dramas, the guy that likes you would always noticed all the little changes in you, so Rose was pretty satisfied.

"Yeah.." Rose smiled at mark, showing her glimmering shite teeth. Mark smiled back.

"How's your life in America? You were there for two whole years." Rose started walking. Taking a stroll while talking was always her style.

"Pretty good. The people and food there were okay." Mark said. "But I miss my family and friends, like you, back in Korea."

Rose blushed. Did she just hear, like her?

"L..like me?" Rose asked again to confirm that her hearing was not wrong.

"Of course! You are my best friend, and my no relation sister." Mark smiled. "And I trust you. That's why I like you."

"You trust me?" Rose asked. Suddenly, she thought about jimin. What Jimin told her. She blushed at the thought of that. She felt confused.

"I..I have to go now. I'll talk to you later!" Rose lied, smiling as she gave mark a guilty smile. Mark nodded.

Rose ran home. She pounded on the door. 'Mom' opened the door.

"Mom.." Rose hugged her tightly. "I'm confused. Very very very (ioi 😂)."

"So you accepted me after all.." 'Mom' grinned. Rose grinned back.

"Mom..promise me one thing." Rose put out her pinkie finger. "Never lie to me anymore. Whatever worries or regret you have, just tell it to me."

"Okay, my darling." 'Mom' smiled, tears in her eyes. "My darling Rose."

'Mom' settled Rose on the bed. She softly held her hands.

"What's wrong?" 'Mom' asked. "Why are you confused?"

"Mom. Can I tell you something?" Rose said. "I'm confused about two people, two of my friends."

"Is it Lisa, or Jennie? Or jisoo?" 'Mom' asked.

"Never mind. I feel that it's a one person thing right now........." Rose said. 'Mom' smiled.

"Okay. My dear angel Rose."

"And mom, I love you. Thank you for being such a good person to me, although we have no relations." Rose said, and she genuinely meant it.

The next day, Rose went to school wearing her favorite outfit, a bright shirt and jeans matched with high heels. Mark's mouth widened a little when he saw her walking past him with full confidence.

"Rose, you look pretty." Mark said. Rose grinned back at mark.

"You too. You look great." Rose said.

"Can we study together after school?" Mark asked, his eyes full of hope.

"Yeah sure." Rose's heart started beating faster and faster.

Smiling, Rose went to her class. Inside, jimin was already waiting for her.

"Where did you go? And wow, look at your heels." Jimin smiled as he patted Rose's seat. "Come and sit!"

"You are so annoying." Rose rolled her eyes.

"Where did you gooooooooo." Jimin repeated like a baby. Rose started laughing.

"I'm so happy today." Rose said. Indeed, she was as happy as a lark.

Jimin leaned closer to her.

Rose's heart started beating again. Instead of getting faster and faster like mark's, this one beats like a thousand African drums.

"What..are you doing?" Rose muttered.

"You have something on your hair. Looks like a string." Jimin pulled out a string from Rose's hair. "You are very artistic, indeed. And you expected me to kiss you, didn't you?" Jimin smirked.

"Yahh. Don't get mistaken. I already have a crush." Rose said, pushing jimin's hands away.

"Come with me to the wishing well this afternoon, after school. Promise me you'll come? I need to talk to someone about my family matters. You are the only trustable person I could think of." Jimin pleaded. His eyes resembles that of a lost child, desperate.

"I'll think about it." Rose answered. It was her second time being confused over two guys, again.

In the end, Rose whipped out her phone to dial mark.
