Voice (Rosé x reader)

Chapter 8

Jisoo POV
I stood at the side of the student plaza as I waited for Y/N. A pang if jealousy and sadness hit me as I watched them talk to each other. Rosé than nodded towards me as she told Y/N something. I quickly avoided eye contact and before I knew it, they were walking towards my direction.

"Hey Jis. Do you mind if Rosé walked home with us today?" She asked, giving me her puppy eyes whenever she asks me for something she wants me to agree to.

"It's fine." I smiled back. "I just remembered that I needed to go collect something from our teacher." I told them as I slowly backed away.

"Then we'll go get it first before going back." Y/N replied, following me.

"No, it's alright. The teacher said she wants to speak to me as well." I shook my head as I pushed Y/N gently back. She pouted and I felt my heart melt. "I'll be fine." I smiled before ruffling her hair.

"Okay then. Call me when you reach home." She replied and I excused myself from the duo.

Sighing, I walked slowly towards my locker to grab my bag. My heart feels like it weighs a ton and there was a lump in my throat. Swallowing thickly, I felt tears building up at my eyes before I furiously swipe at them. I waited for five more minutes before leaving the school.

I plugged in my ear phones and hit the shuffle play button. "Let's not fall in love" by Big Bang started playing as I walked slowly back home. Not caring nor noticing what was going on around me, I crossed the road. And that's when I heard someone yell, "Hey! Watch out!"

Y/N POV
I'm with Rosé, holly crap. My heart started to race at a thousand miles per hour as I walked side by side with Rosé. The awkward silence between us was heavy since none of us knew each other well. After racking my brains hard in order to think of a subject to break the ice with, an idea clicked in my mind. Music.

"I like music too." I mentally face palmed myself once those words left my mouth. Way to break the ice Y/N.

Rosé smiled before she replied, "me too."

And silence enveloped us once again. "Actually, I wanted to be an artist." She told me.

I cocked my head to the side before facing her in confusion. She chuckled softly before continuing, "my dad told me to start taking vocal lessons because I kept singing, or rather screaming, at the top of my lungs as I play the guitar. I studied arts before coming back to Seoul." I nodded slowly, absorbing the information as the sky began to darken.

"But our family can't afford vocal lessons, so my mother coaches me instead."

"She must've been very good."

Rosé laughed, and I felt my heart swell in happiness. "Of course. I wouldn't have been able to reach the high notes." I felt my cheeks flush in embarrassment at my dumb statement as we continued down the streets, which was surprisingly quiet except for the occasional cars that whizzed passed us.

"You said you liked music right?" She said, turning to look at me. I nodded in reply before she continued, "maybe you can do a duet with me someday."

My heart started to pound when I heard the statement. "N...no. I can't- I mainly play the piano, or keyboard, but I can't sing." I laughed nervously.

"Oh. That you can play while I sing."

"Really?" I grinned with childlike excitement.

"Yeah, it gets boring sometimes to sing solo. It would be nice to have someone to perform with." She smiled back.

We walked in comfortable silence, the only sounds of our shoes crunching against the ground. As we continued walking, I realised that we were walking nearer towards my apartment. "You live there too?" I asked as I pointed towards the building where my apartment was located in.

She looked towards the direction where I pointed to and nodded. I bit my lip to prevent myself from smiling too wide. She lives where I live!

We both walked into the elevator and pressed our respective floors. "About our duet, we will discuss about it sometime soon," she smiled. I nodded, trying to mask my eagerness and excitement before we bid farewell. Rosé asked me to perform with her.
