My Wish

46. I-I love you!

"I Love you"

Jisoo backed away flustered as she covered her mouth with the back of her hand,

"I-" Words couldn't form as she-

"You don't have to say it back" Rosé says as Jisoo looked at her scared.

"What is- "

"-I love you?" She doesn't know what it means, Rosé stared at her as she studied the girl. She was vulnerable, she looked so lost, and so pained.

"I-" Jisoo left the room quickly as Rosé stood still not moving at all, she never seen Jisoo look so hurt.

Just what did she mean?

Jisoo ran to her room as she locked the door, Her hands clenched the black pants as she felt embarrassed.

What was I love you?

She placed her hands on her face in distressed as she wasn't herself anymore. She didn't want Chaeyoung to say that- call her Selfish but she didn't want to hear that!

"When You say that I become weaker" Jisoo say to nobody but herself,

"I can't love you because you'll be gone, I may not know what love is because it's painful for me." She saw the teardrops on the cold light brown wooden floor,

"I never heard that" Jisoo grips her hair. Her memories as a child vanished but only the deaths remains-

She heard a phone buzz as she glanced to see it was Jeongyeon but she didn't pick up. She looked at the mirror in front of her and could see the same person she once was.

"I don't love you"

It was a nice cool autumn day in the city the next day, Jisoo and Rosé were both painting the mailbox and other stuff too.

"Jisoo, Place your hand here" She could see the baby pink paint on the metal box as it was covered on Rosé's right hand, She could see it perfectly placed.

"Do you wanna try?" She asks

"Yes" Jisoo grabbed the brush and she smoothers a fresh coat of paint on her left, She placed her hand perfectly against Chaeyoung's as the thumbs overlapped on the tip. The black paint  and pink-

"Here, use this to wipe off the rest" Rosé handed her a wet rag from the bucket as Jisoo took it and wiped off the black paint. But before she did that she grabbed it with her right and leaned over to Rosé's face as she placed the left hand against her face causing the paint to leave a hand mark on her face and lips.

"H-hey!" Rosé whines, Jisoo chuckled as she wiped the black paint away. The smell was annoying her senses already, She looked up across from. Them was a white moving truck, Someone new moved in.

"Should we go say hi?" Rosé asks excitedly,

"If you want to? Woah!" Rosé grabbed her hand as they ran across the street.

"Hi! I'm Rosé! I'm your neighbor across" She smiled as Jisoo hid behind her,

"This is my-"

"I'm Jisoo" Jisoo said bluntly,

"I'm William, Nice to meet you lovely girls" Jisoo's eyes twitched as she didn't trust him.

"Will you two like to join me for dinner?" He smiled,

"We don't want to bother" Rosé smiled back.

"It's fine, I like meeting my neighbors" He chuckled, Jisoo lets a low scoff that can only be heard by Rosé.

"Then we'll see you then" Rosé says

"See you at 8, here's my number" Jisoo reminds silent as she stared him down, She swear she saw the hint of red-

"Come on Chu, let's go back" Rosé gestures her,

"Okay" Jisoo stared him down as he smiled before walking to pick up the boxes on the ground. She hated him.

"Why did you talk to him?"

"He seems innocent to me" Rose shrugged,

"We hardly know hi-"

"Jisoo, I get it"

"Whatever"
