07 : drowning in 7 feet

07: drowning in 7 feet of water is just as dead as drowning in 21 feet of water.

• i promised
i promised myself not to
slip into old habits
cause heartbreak is savage
and love is a bitch •

"GOSH, the breeze is killing me." Lisa shivered as race cars pass by them. "Who did you went out with?" Rosé asked after remembering what happened yesterday. "I'll tell you when I'm sure. No ring huh," Rosé wasn't sure with Lisa's tone.

"Did you set me up? You could've told anyone else to pick up me up but you specifically asked for Jungkook? So what's the catch, Lisa ?" Rosé crosses her arms over her chest as she eyed Lisa. "Honestly. I'm shocked that you really let him go. I kind off expecting you to stay."

"What do you mean? We didn't have any future together! He's gonna get married soon. He's with her and you're expecting me to stay? Am I his mistress while he's expectant to have an heir with Tzuyu? What did you expect me to do Lisa ?"

"I didn't mean it like that. He was fighting for you, he is willing to sacrifice his future for you. And don't you act as you've never questioned his loyalty? What I'm really questioning in your relationship is your loyalty. It makes me questioned that if you ever really love him in the first place. I think you only like the idea of him."

"You know what? I didn't come here today to—"

"-GUYS, let's just calm down okay." Jisoo approached them after she had taken her car for a spin. "Um, let's go for a spin, shall we ?" Jisoo tosses the keys to the girls. Lisa took off first before Jisoo went to Rosé side. "You okay ?"

"Yeah, yeah." Rosé exhaled. "No actually." She switched on the engines. "I need this." She offered a small smile before she hit the gas. "You know that Lisa meant well for the both of you. She just hoped that maybe you'll stay for him."

"So what? We didn't work out cause I wanted out of the relationship? So it's my fault now? Gosh!" Rosé felt tenser than ever. She doesn't understand what they're trying to say. Did Jungkook even suffer after they broke up? He'd looked completely fine to her.

"I didn't say that." Jisoo paused. "I'm just saying that you've been saying that you're the only one suffering so much. Tzuyu's suffering too. She's feeling guilty—"

"AS she should."

"You know that's wrong, Rosie. Jungkook is suffering too." Jisoo's face was stern and Rosé knew she was angry with her. "All I'm saying is you've been blaming Jungkook only for your broken relationship when you should be held accountable for it too."

"Oh, so we're comparing our sufferings now? I was dead from drowning in 21 feet of my own suffering—"

"So what? Jungkook's been drowning in 7 feet and he's pretty much dead too. Someone who drowns in 7 feet of water is just as dead as someone who drowns in 21 feet of water," Their car came to a halt as Rosé hit the brakes. They have arrived back at their starting point and Rosé felt tenser than ever.

"You know what, this is what I hate about you guys. You guys are the cause for every trouble I've suffered and you guys are like well we're in trouble too, we're suffering too. This wouldn't happen if I didn't meet you guys. You know sometimes I wished I didn't meet you guys." Rosé didn't believe what she said but it was too late to take it back when she saw Jisoo's face.

"FINE" Jisoo slammed the doors and they could see Lisa running towards them. A few steps away was Namjoon who looked worried at his girlfriend outburst. "We'll gladly fuck off from your life then, don't speak to any of us again since we've been the source of your problem."

"Jisoo! Just like that? Our friendship meant nothing to you ?" Rosé shouted back at Jisoo who was slowly walking towards a concerned Namjoon and Lisa. "No, our friendship meant nothing to you Rosé, it didn't even worth any penny to you as you wished you haven't met us all."

"Jisoo," Both Namjoon and Lisa looked worried and wondered what happened to them. "I'll call you soon Lisa, raincheck for the dessert place you wanted ?" Jisoo smiled at Lisa. "Don't worry about it, take care." Jisoo nodded and pulled Namjoon.

Lisa ran to Rosé who looked stunned. "What the fuck happened?" Rosé brush the hair that was being blown to her face. "I just need to be alone for a while. Don't mind me." She slightly pushed Lisa out of her way before heading towards her own way.

"You okay ?" Namjoon brushed her hand softly as they've been quiet for the whole ride back home. "N-no," Namjoon noticed the way her voice wavered as she tried to hold back her tears by biting her fingers.

"Do you want to talk about it ?" He asked again as he brushed the locks out of her face, her eyes were threatening to spill, her breath hatching as she exhales. "N-no," This time her eyes closed as sobs followed her after.

Namjoon unbuckled his seatbelt as he pulled Jisoo closer to his chest, caressing her hair slowly as her sobs continued to grow louder. "It's fine, you're going to be just fine. It's a bad day for both of you, not a bad life."

ROSÉ slowly walks towards an apartment that she knew to well, a bottle of wine on her hands as she unlocked the door, she notices the dust that was covering the empty shoe rack. It was his apartment and Rosé hasn't stepped in ever since they broke up.

Rosé took a chug of the drinks as she removes her shoes, somewhere she wished that he was there in their bedroom waiting to give her hug and just caress her but that would be wishful thinking.

She flicked the switch on and she saw a figure sitting at one of the dusty couches in the living room. The man walks in silence as he approached her hands, taking the liquor away from her.

"Rosé," He softly said but Rosé just pushed through him as she sobs into his chest, she knows he was unwilling to hug her back and that's when she knew they were completely over and Jisoo was right.
