When You Love Someone ~ Jirose/Rosemin

20

Roseanne Park, Age: 30

I was alone on the roof of the building, just thinking about my future and past. My heart was pounding outside of my chest when I thought of Jimin. When someone tapped my shoulder it was Jimin. He offered me a Banana milk. I looked at him as it took me back to that day at the park. This time, I was not pregnant.

"Hakuna Matata," He held his milk for a cheers. I shook my head at him saying that and bumped our cartons of milk. We finished our milks while looking at the horizon together.

I went back into my office when Mrs. Song stopped me. She gave me the phone and said it was Mr. Who. My soul left my body and my hand started to shake as I held the phone.

"Yes, this is manager Rosé speaking," I said into the phone with my Australian accent. Mr. Who shared an interest in visiting our store and asked to make a time for him to visit. Then he hung up. I told everyone the news and everyone celebrated. I rushed to Jimin's office and screamed in his face that I could do it. Everyone clapped for me then Jimin put his arm around me while everyone was cheering. I kindly brushed it off.

We had a company dinner later that day. Everyone was there including two special guests, Lisa and Seulgi. Jimin sat at the front of the table while Lisa sat next to me, and Seulgi across from me. Lisa and I caught up and kept my secret close. Jungkook was clueless as ever.

Seulgi introduced herself to everyone once Jimin left to attend to a phone call. Everyone was talking then Seulgi called my name. She asked if we could talk somewhere quiet. I squished Lisa's thigh to signal I will be back.

I told Seulgi to follow me and I led her to my office.

"Let's just say I am worried about Jimin," Seulgi flat out told me.

"Why don't you tell him if you are so worried," I suggested.

"Jimin... has some bad memories. Chaeyoung! That was the name of the girl that ruined his life," Seulgi described the events.

"Why are you telling me this?" I said 'confused'.

"You remind me of her a lot. She was a bitch," Seulgi said coldly.

Even after we 'made' up, she still hated my guts. After the fight, and after Jimin, she still wanted me dead. Lisa said that Seulgi would remain by Jimin's side all that time. Seulgi just proved Lisa's point.

"It is a lousy love story, want to hear it?" Seulgi asked to recount my suffering.

"No, you do not have to. You said it was a lousy story anyways," I didn't want to hear the story again.

"I heard she ran away to the US or somewhere," Seulgi got on my last nerve. I slapped her. Lisa and Jimin walked into us. Lisa was holding in her laugh and Jimin questioned what I was doing to Seulgi. Lisa saw it in my eyes, she grabbed me by the arm and leads me out. We were on the roof as I cried into Lisa's shoulder.

"It's alright my chipmunk. My sweet little Rosie," Lisa comforted me. "Hey! You got this! Mr. Who is coming soon! You did that! Keep your head up, your crown is falling, queen!"

"I love you Lisa," I said between my sobs.

"I know," She giggled.

We hugged one more time before we went back into the office. I went to my desk when I saw someone following me. It was Jimin again. I sat behind my desk to study my notes when Jimin asked one simple question.

"Do you know Seulgi well? She is my friend and what happened yesterday."

"Are you asking why I slapped her?" I said not making any eye contact.
