"Yah! What are you doing?!" I shout, catching their attention and making them stop

"J-Jisoo" I hear Chaeyoung stutter out and she hides something behind her back

"Seriously, Rosé? Beating a kid up, during school, with rulers?" I ask her, my voice cold like ice

I see her gulp nervously and the girl they were hitting, scrambles away.

"I thought you knew better than that" I tell her and walk away

I walk to the rooftop and she follows me.

"Jisoo! Wait!" She yells

I get to the rooftop and she's right behind me.

"Wait, I can explain" she says with a frown

"What is it?" I ask her

"She was talking shit about you with her friends...and I just got angry so I started hitting her and her locker was open and there were some rulers so Lisa grabbed them and we started beating her up and I couldn't stop an-" she rants on and on, but I cut her off

"That's still not a reason to beat someone up. To teach her a lesson, you need to talk to her. Bullying is wrong, Rosé. No matter the reason, you can't just go around bullying and beating people up. Be civilized about it and talk to her. She may not listen, but some day something will happen and she'll understand. I don't want you to ever beat someone up like that again. Do you understand?" I ask her

She gulps and asks, "But then why did you hit Jennie's ex-boyfriend?"

"I-...T-that was just because he had a knife and he was gonna hurt you and Jennie. I just lost control...Do you understand, Rosé?" I mutter and ask her seriously

"Y-yeah. Sure. Whatever"

"Good" I smile, but the frown doesn't leave her face

"Why are you still frowning?" I ask her

"Can you please call me Chaeng again? I don't like when you call me Rosé" She pouts

This side of her...I've only seen it once

"Awww, my Chaeng is so adorable" I say and pinch her cheeks, making her blush

"Yahh! Don't do that!" She whines and smacks my arm, making me laugh

"But you told me to call you Chaeng" I tell her

"Yeah! Not pinch my cheeks" she glares at me and rubs her cheeks

"Sorry, you're just so cute. I can't handle it" I playfully grin

"I'm not cute! I'm cool and scary. I rule this school" She argues

"Well, you don't rule me," I say and lean in closer to her face

"I rule you" I whisper and she pushes me away

"Stop getting so close!" She yells and I laugh at her reaction

"Why didn't you go to class?" I ask her, once I'm done laughing

"...I didn't feel like it" she mumbles

"Why?"

"Stop asking me questions" she says and walks inside

She's really cute

I smile and follow her. We walk to class and when we go in, people start murmuring and gossiping. Jennie and Lisa both turn to look at us curiously. We sit in our seats and the teacher continues the lesson.

"You okay?" I hear Lisa ask Chaeyoung and I see Chaeng nod

"Why'd you come in with her?" Jennie asks me, her voice a little too bitchy.

"Can I not?" I ask her and she flinches

"Sorry Jendeukie" I apologize for being rude

"No...it's my fault. I shouldn't be jealous" she says in a barely audible voice

"I thought you were over me"

"...No. Not yet" she mumbles, but it's comprehensible

Chaeyoung glances at Jennie and Jennie looks back at her. I feel hatred through their stares and I gulp at the tension.

What happened between them that made them like this? Being in between them gives off such a dreadful vibe.

"W-well, it's okay. Take your time to get completely over me" I tell Jennie, trying to cut the tension

She keeps gazing at Chaeyoung as she speaks, "I will."

I place my hand on Chaeng's lap and squeeze it once. She moves her eyes from Jennie to me and I try communicating with my eyes. It seems to work because she looks away and then I remove my hand and turn back to Jennie.

Rosè P.O.V.

Holy shit, she's right.



She does rule me. She just gave me a look and I immediately understood and obeyed her. What am I thinking?! This isn't like me...I won't let her rule me.

I keep quiet and put my head down.

Gosh, I'm so tired. I couldn't stop thinking about what Jisoo told me about Lisa and Jennie...and I couldn't stop thinking about her either.

I hear laughter and I look up to see Jisoo laughing and Jennie smiling.

Even if they're in bad terms they're still close. What sense does that make?

"Why do you keep glaring at Jennie?" Lisa whisper-asks me

"Huh?" I ask in confused voice

"I thought you were starting to like her, but I guess I was wrong. You've been glaring at her a lot today" Lisa explains

"I haven't"

"You don't know how to lie. I literally saw you"

"I wasn't glaring!" I hiss at her

"Then what?"

"I just...I don't know" I struggle

"See?" she raises her eyebrow and I stay silent

"Now tell me why you're glaring at her" she continues

"No"

"Tell me"

"Just shut up"

"Tell meee"

"Then tell me what's going on between you and her"

"Okay, fine."

"That's what I th- wait what?"

"I like Jennie" she nonchalantly says

I saw this coming, but I don't believe it...No, it can't be. Lisa likes Jennie. What if something wrong happens...again? What if everything repeats itself? I don't think I'll be able to handle it.

"I know you hate her, but I really like her and I-"

"Shut up!" I yell loudly, shocking everyone in the class

"Chaey-" Lisa starts, but I run out of class before she says anything else.

I'm afraid...
