rosey was always accompanied by at least one of the boys everywhere she went. when she went out on her own, she would always get a call from staff every few minutes to make sure she was okay.
at first, she didn't mind because she appreciated their concern for her. after a few weeks, however, she began to feel like a literal child. like a child who couldn't be trusted alone or proven to be self-sufficient.
her older members, chan, minho, and changbin, were always curious as to whether she changed her bandages and took her medicine.
"i always do." rosey assured them when they asked for the second time today.
"i'm just checking." changbin spoke quickly and exited the room.
"minho just did," rosey mumbled as she drew her sleeves down over her newly changed bandages.
she was always perplexed as to why they were so protective, despite the fact that she had proven she could recover from such a situation and go out on her own.
rosey is now accustomed to the so-called "rules". no going out after midnight, to have a member of staff with her at all times, and to notify staff when she was leaving alone.
the boys were still skeptical of parts of the story and rosey's decisions that night. why she went out by herself, why she wanted to do out by herself in the first place, and who was this friend she claimed to be meeting?
she went out with supervision a few times, but she stayed in the dorms far more than she went out. the company only issued a statement stating that she would be taking a break due to "health issues". the staff did not want any outside sources to learn the truth and they did not want fans find the secret.
rosey dashed across the floor of the living room and into the bedroom next to her own. because of her socks, she slid a few inches as she tried to come to a stop. her body stumbled into the bed, landing softly on the blankets.
she raised her head and looked over at hyunjin, who was quietly laughing at her mistake. she pushed herself out of the bed and sat on the side.
rosey yelled happily, "hyunjin!" as she threw her hands in the air.
hyunjin did the same, throwing his hands up and calling out her name.
"do you have any idea where jisung might be?" she asked.
"he might be in your guys' room." hyunjin said, pointing to the doorway she ran through.
she jumped to her feet and dashed towards the doorway, where she came to a halt and returned her attention to hyunjin.
"thank you; i'll be back later! jisung!" she exclaimed before disappearing.
rosey skipped into the room she shared with the boy she was looking for. when she entered the room, she found jisung on his bed, one hand behind his head and the other holding his phone in front of his face.
"jisung." she called out again as she approached him.
when jisung noticed the girl at the side of his bed, he locked his phone and threw it on the blankets pushed over beside him. he fixed his gaze on her as she sat gently on the side of his bed, indicating that he was paying attention and listening to her.
"could you possibly get me some boba?" she asked nicely, her gaze not on him but on her fingers drawing shapes on his sheets.
jisung sat up and looked at his phone to see what time it was. it wasn't too late, though.
"sure, i can do that; what kind do you want?"
rosey looked at him with excitement and her fingers stopped tracing shapes. she began to lightly clap and responded to his questions.
"the pink one."
"the pink one? are you certain that's the one you want?" he asked.
she nodded and watched as he stood up from the bed. jisung started getting ready and called out to seungmin in the living room.
"yeah?" seungmin responded.
the younger boy approached and waited outside the room, inquiring as to what jisung needed.
"would you like to join me on a walk to the boba cafe?"
seungmin, like jisung, took out his phone to check the time.
"right now?"
"yeah, it's only. . . six something? we'll go get some and return in ten minutes." jisung spoke.
"sure." seungmin shrugged.
before leaving the room, jisung returned his gaze to rosey and patted her on the head. she followed him out and sat next to jeongin, who was watching a drama on the couch.
rosey looked down at her phone, which was lit up, as the two boys walked away. jisung sent a message to her.
"text me if you change your mind."
she smiled and replied simply, "alright!"
rosey rested her head on jeongin's shoulder, placed her phone on her lap, and it was now just a waiting game for them to return.
