[Complete] The Rose That Changed My Life [Rose x reader]

13. Advice From the Wise

Y/n POV

     "Yeah that's me." I replied as he moved the hood off of his head.

     "I just wanted to apologize for how Soojin acted when he went to your office to get our remix track for a testing. We don't condone the way he acted and treated you." He said as him and the one in white bowed ninety degrees to me. "We are honestly considering going to Mr. Yang to either get him replaced or removed. He's like that with us as well, and we're getting tired of it. It's gotten worse since he's been with Rose. We don't know if he's like that with her or not, but definitely treats us like we aren't worthy of being in the group with him, and I'm the leader of the group."

     "What's your name?" I asked as he straightened up with a shocked expression.

     "My name is Kim Leemin." He said seeming to be a bit embarrassed.

     "You'll be a great group leader." I said as his face twisted into surprise. "You came out and apologized for something a member in your group did, and you're taking action to rectify the issue to keep your members safe. That's hard to do. Just do what you think is right."

     "Thank you, Hyung!" He said bowing once again at ninety degrees.

     "Get up, man." I said laughing and he stood up. "Here, take this and get you and the group something to eat."

     I handed him some money from the envelope that Mr. Yang had given me. His eyes lit up and he carefully and slowly took the money.

     "Minus the dick head that is. Consider this celebrating your freedom from him." I said with a smile.

     "Yes sir! Consider it done." He said with a smile. "You're a good guy y/n, and that remix was absolute fire."

     "Get outta here. Go celebrate." I said as him and the one in white smiled and took off.

     After they were out of sight the door to the venue opened with only Rose coming out of it looking rather bothered. I guess Soojin went out another door because he was nowhere to be found. We all began walking to the shuttle to go eat.

     "Chaeyoung." I said only loud enough for her to hear causing her to stop and turn around. "You okay?"

     "Yeah, I'm fine." She answered with a smile that clearly showed she wasn't okay.

     She went to walk away but I grabbed her arm softly before she could walk off. "Are you sure?"

     "Yes, I promise I'm okay, Y/n" She said with a smile.

     "Okay, but if you need help don't hesitate to ask." I said with a serious face.

     "Here I thought you hated me, Y/n." She giggled out.

     "Chae, I don't hate you." I said softly, "I just don't want to bother you or any of the other girls."

     "It's okay, Y/n. Don't worry so much about it." She said as she turned and caught up with the group.

     I stood there for a moment and took in a breath. "Hey, Raven."

     "What's up?" he responded turning around and walking back to meet me.

     "Here," I handed over the envelope with the money in it. "I'm gonna go for a walk and be alone for a while."

     "You don't want to join us?" He asked a bit confused.

     " I would, but I think I need to be alone for a while." I said shoving my hands into my pocket.

     "Well, here." He said pulling money out of the envelope and handing it to me. "At least take some money and get yourself something to eat."
