I was her first, she was my last.

Chapter 36: Slow

Third Person POV 

This is it, Rosie thought. She will finally see Jisoo again after the longest time of not being together. She heard from Lisa that Jisoo and Soojoo called it quits because Jisoo was hesitant of everything. It made her think "What if its because the person I love, still loves me?".

She wondered if it was worth giving it another chance, a final chance. If they work out, then that will be her end game, she will never let go of Jisoo again... and if it doesn't happen, she won't regret not trying. 

Rosie POV 

"Ma'am, we have arrived at the destination" She was caught in a trance 

"Oh, Thanks sir! Im sorry." She says to the uber driver as she makes her way down

She walks to the front door, and it takes her a while to finally get the courage to ring the door bell. But she does it.. she finally does it. 

The door opens and to her surprise.. its Soojoo.. 

"Rosie...? Hold on let me get Jisoo." Soojoo says 

"Oh.. no need. But it was really nice seeing you. You don't have to tell her I passed by." Rosie says as its obvious that she is about to cry 

"Too late." Jisoo says as she is standing right behind her 

"I'll leave you two alone. Thanks for letting me use your car, Jisoo. I'll see you soon." She smiles as she makes her way out 

"Hey Rosie, come in." Jisoo says 

Rosie walks into the house, and its like nothing changed. 

"Its been a while, what brings you here?" Jisoo asks in almost a cold voice

"I don't know." Rosie says 

"You don't know why you went to my house?" Jisoo lets out a faint laugh 

"All I know is that when I heard that you and Soojoo ended things, I wanted to be there and hug you. I know it sounds like im pouncing at the opening but I swear its not that. Look, Jisoo. I love you, I never stopped. I was hurt, eventually I have forgiven you for that night, it took me longer to forgive myself for letting you go. For letting you end up in someone else's arms. So I went here to see if we still have something worth saving. But I see that I am too late again." Rosie says 

"What makes you say that? Because Soojoo answered the door? She was only here to borrow my car. We stayed friends." Jisoo explains 

"Oh.. so does that mean.." Rosie is interrupted 

"Look, when you left, you didn't hear me out. She came into my life and I thought I finally found happiness again. But during the time we were together, I still knew in my heart that it was you I loved. But seeing you right here in front of me, brings back all the pain you gave me when you left. Like it was so easy for you to make the decision to let go. I messed up, theres no excuse for that. I thought she was you at the time, and you were there. But that does not change the fact that it happened, and I hurt you. But you hurt me too. You left me when I needed you the most. I would have been okay to stay friends if you couldn't forgive me, Rosie." Jisoo said almost crying  

"It never would have worked. I can't.. I can't just be friends with you Jisoo." Rosie said 

"I don't know if I can give it another chance.. but I also don't know if I am willing to let you go again." Jisoo says 

"Then take my hand Jisoo. Lets take it a day at a time, and if one day you make up your mind and not want to be with me, I will understand and walk away for good. But for now, give me this chance to change your mind." Rosie says 

Jisoo smiles. She grabs Rosie's hand and says "How can I say no to you?" and she leans in for their first kiss in so long 

"Slow?" Rosie smiles.. "Slow." Jisoo responds
