The Orientation

📍 Incheon University
⏰ 7:36AM
🗓 March 26th, 2020

All students were in the General Assembly Room (GAR) where they will have their orientation for senior high school. The seating arrangement was randomized so Chanyeol chose to sit somewhere randomly too, where less people stayed in that row, and so followed Sehun and Suho. In a few minutes into the discussion, Chaeyoung and her friends, Jisoo & Jennie all came into the room and chose to sit next to the 3 young men. Chaey chose to sit beside Chanyeol which had Suho fighting for the urge to ask Yeol to change seats —tension could be sensed between them.

"So, how many years has it been?" Chaey started the conversation, provided that nobody was listening to the guest speaker.

"Three." He responded, unsure and quite scared that he must've appeared to be cold to her.

"So I'm guessing you've gotten yourself a girlfriend." Chaey tried to look positive and less awkward, but had no idea that she made the conversation even more awkward.

"No, I'm guessing you've gotten yourself a boyfriend." Chanyeol tried to seem positive as well, but couldn't help the hurt inside him ignite.

"Oh... No, no, no, Chanyeol-ssi, I'd never think of having a boyfriend ever again." Chaeyoung seemed to despise the fact that she'll have to marry someone someday and have a family of her own. Having the feat of loving someone again, always brought her down.  Chaeyoung seemed to be so down nowadays, after Chanyeol left her with only a letter as goodbye. She felt herself just shatter, in search for another man, worthy of her own heart. It was all useless in the end, she couldn't find the perfect one.

"What makes you think that way?" Chanyeol tried to act innocent, and optimistic, despite the fact that he'll always be the angry giant whose heart had softened because of Chaeyoung.

"I just don't think I'm ready for it. Scared rather.." Chaeyoung stared at the ground, still heartbroken about the past, yet taken aback by the sudden comeback of her favorite angry giant.

"Well, how about you? how's your life going? Please tell me you're not the same giant as before." She teased. "Of course I'm not. What was the old Chanyeol like anyway?" Chaeyoung looked very hurt, for the fact that Chanyeol was so desperate to leave everything behind, even their close friendship. "Well, he was alone, angry at the world, but then I just gained the bravery to speak to him and he was just fine. I remember all the women from school were all over him."

"Really?" Chanyeol looked her in the eyes, as if to tell her that he still hadn't moved on. Chaeyoung looked away and focused on the guest speaker, still rethinking and reminiscing on the old memories she had with the angry giant she once new before. Until so much just happened 3 years ago, leaving her in such an empty and depressing state. Coming back after 3 years, you could say that Chaeyoung has changed a lot. She had this little nickname, a stage name to be considered.

She was able to make a name for herself and eventually started to take on her major course of music. She was just as talented as ever, except now that she's showing much more than she has shown before. People called her The Great Rose, very hero-like but she was just like one. Chaeyeon had the tendency to be sensitive especially in certain things that involves things that she really hates. Other people call her Rosie because of her English name after her birth in Auckland, New Zealand which was Roseanne.

Despite the many successes in her life, there was always this one person she missed every single time she performed in music school recitals, especially in Guitar duos. She hated missing people, it had always taken up her weak side. What more if she gets into a relationship? Roseanne could not handle relationships, and could not stand her sensitivity. This is why Chanyeol felt the guiltiest, the day before he left for Tokyo.
