Chapter Twenty Three

Being engulfed by silence for far too long, Rose stops pacing around her upside down living room, and decides to end this. She marches angrily to her sink, which are full of plates that have been left unwashed by the infamous genie, and fills a cup with tap water. She eyes the dirty sink and grits her teeth in utter frustration, walking away from the dirty scene to the drunk man.

She stops in front of his figure, a cup of water occupying her grasp for only a second as she drenches the man with the water, as every piece of clothing is now soaked. The genie's eyes snap open at the impact and goes into fight or flight mode, fleeing from the couch to the ground. He grabs his right elbow and hisses in pain at the impact, but also for the incurring headache he has to endure. Woozi looks at the fairy in agony, then in fear as he sees Rose's expression.

She is fuming in anger, he could swear that he can see literal fury circling around her irises.

"Rose?" Woozi says groggily, a hint of fear laced with his voice, "let me explain—"

"What is there to explain!?" Rose exclaims exasperatedly, "you trashed my house, and almost got us caught by Yeona's brother."

"Her brother, Woozi." The genie looks around the house, grimacing at the sight. He mentally scolds himself for letting himself get this drunk. His eyes also widen at the fact that he has almost put them in the radar. He covers his face with his hand, groaning in pain at his throbbing jaw. Rose stands there silently, controlling herself from the urge to end him right then and there. She licks her teeth with her tongue, preparing herself to yell at him.

"Rose, please. There was a reason why I went." Woozi pleads. Rose stays silent, allowing him to continue further.

"There is something that I have to tell you—"

"You really had the audacity to do something so absurd?! Just to fucking tell me something!? Ever heard of waiting, Woozi!?" Rose hisses, "you almost put us in danger! Felix had to go get your drunk ass, because Hoseok found you!"

"Rose please—"

"No!," Rose yells, tears brimming in her eyes, "I'm sick and tired of you trying to control me and get away with things that are ridiculous! I'm helping you get Yeona for who fucking knows what, so you have to listen to me," Rose seethes.

"Or else, you're on your own." Woozi's eyes widen at her little threat. He narrows his eyes at her sudden wave of dominance, having a certain sense of mixed feelings at her reasoning. He clicks his tongue in disdain, irritated that he has to oblige to her for once.

He groans in pain while moving his sitting position, and stares at her with a spiral of sadness and irritation.

"Fine," Woozi says blankly, "I'll listen."

It was starting to get dark out the longer you continue to walk, mindlessly worrying about your surroundings. You'd rather much enjoy being with the boys, instead your scrambled thoughts,

But, who can stop you?

You were quite the daydreamer. Never realizing that you have completely blanked out. From zoning out during the entire lecture, or when you completely misheard your brother's entire conversation with you, the possibilities of avoiding it, are endless. You attempt to avoid zoning out as much as possible, on the contrary, it just seems to be getting worse and worse as time goes on,
