09 | The Rotten Rose

"What's your ideal type?"

You almost choked at his question, luckily you are not drinking anything or you'll be spitting it in his face.

You looked at him, "yah. Jungkook—ah, why are you asking me this kind of question?" You laughed as you flipped the pancake

Jungkook's yes went wide, what am I suppose to say to her? I'm only 4 years old and I already know those kind of stuff? Oh my god, why am I so dumb? What if she finds out that I am actually a teenage bo—

"Noona!" Jungkook's thought were cut off by a brown haired boy who happens to ran towards you and hugged you, tightly, Jungkook stared at the boy, almost glaring at him but the boy just stuck his tongue out, pissing Jungkook even more

"Noona, what are you cooking?" He asked innocently while looking up to you

You chuckled a bit and turned around, "aigoo, my cute little Taehyung, is awake already? And to answer your question, noona is making us pancakes," you smiled and Taehyung beamed happily as he showed you his box smile, you just giggle and pinched his cheeks before going back to the pancake and finally finishing making the pancakes.

"So what do you guys want to watch?" You asked as you sat on the sofa, it was currently 12:30 in the afternoon and you guys finished eating lunch and had nothing else to do but watch a movie till you go to your work.

"Power puff girls!" Taehyung beamed as he continued jumping around

"No, noona I want to watch nemo, because I wanna cruise like him (the pun)," pouted Hoseok you just sigh, and was about to do the debate on what you should pick when Jimin ran up to you

"Noona, I wanna watch doremon." He said

Jungkook then went to sit on your lap, "noona, I'm sleepy," he said softly making you smile,

"Noona, we don't wanna watch a movie anymore." Namjoon spoke which made you look up to him in surprise

Your eyebrows knitted together automatically,"Why?" You asked

"They said they want to ask you questions, probably wanting to know you more." Namjoon said and you just nodded your head, Jungkook on the other hand was not sleepy anymore

"Okay, what do you guys want to ask?" You asked and look at them

Hoseok threw his hands in the air,"noona have you ever gotten yourself a boyfriend?" He asked as he sat down next to Jimin who is sitting on the carpet

You nodded and bit your lips, the flashbacks flash through your mind once again, yes you did got yourself a boyfriend, and he is your first love and your first heartbreak, "ne, I already got one." You said and smiled at them bitterly

"Where is he?"

"I—We broke up a year ago, Taehyung." You said, you were in the verge of crying right now, but you held it in while you clenched both of your hands, they stared at you probably shocked and they knew you are still broken from the heart break that you received and as much as they wanted to slit Hoseok and Taehyung's neck, they just apologetically stare at you

"You guys probably want to know what happened right?" You laughed, and yes, as much as they are sad to hear about you having a broken relationship, but they still want to know why you broke up

You just simply smiled, don't cry, (Name),"well, we started off as friends, It was the in the middle of first year, one day I came to school and everyone were whispering about the new transferred student, girls say he is handsome and dreamy, almost like a prince that you'll see in a Disney movie while guys say he is nothing but a jerk or something, at first I didn't pay much attention to those since I don't give a freaking hell out of his existence—" you paused for a second and took a deep breath before finally continuing it, "well everything went down when I reached homeroom and the new kid was assigned to be seated next to me, at first I didn't paid any attention towards him, but he was really persuasive and after so many rejections, I gave him, thinking of it as just something that isn't 'harmful'—"

"But obviously I was wrong, I ended up falling deeply in love with him, it was the happiest yet saddest thing I ever felt, why? Because from then on, I knew that when he came to my life, sooner or later I'll be broken, again. But what hurts the most is that I was right, my senses were right, I shouldn't have fallen onto his trap, I should've know that he'll end our relationship with a once beautiful flower, a rotten rose."

You sob, as you said those last words, it was a heartbreaking scene when they saw you cry but they couldn't move but just stare at you with guilt built up in their eyes, Hoseok gulped as he heard you sob again, you covered your eyes with your hand and continued crying

Yoongi was still eager to find out everything, and what makes him more confused is about the rotten rose, what is it about? He asked himself, "Rotten Rose?" He blurted out and you stopped crying and wiped your tears

You gave then your bitter smile, flashbacks run through your mind, you remembered it again, the day that you found a rotten rose, "He gave me a rotten rose, it was after the day we shared our first kiss, our first kiss that I knew I fell in love and felt butterflies in the pit of my stomach, after that day I woke up with the blazing sound coming from my door bell, so I quickly went down and opened the door, just to find a rotten rose on the door step, the rose that I gave him when we started as friends, it was a token of friendship that we started and it is the symbol of our ending." You bit your lips, you don't know where all of this words were coming from but all you know is that you are hurt, still hurt.

"Why did he gave you a rotten rose?" Namjoon asked, he is the smartest of them all but he still can't figure it out why he gave you a rotten rose.

You smiled softly, you didn't actually get it that fast, "Well, it has a message that he can't write, a message that he can't say out loud,"

"At first I thought the rotten rose symbolizes our fallen relationship, with it being a rose; beautiful and sweet just like our relationship, but one day it started wilting just like our relationship, and sooner it's petals fall off, and finally it completely rot, just like how our relationship ended," you said sadly, your voice is monotone and it made them feel even guilty than before, because by just looking at you, they know that you are already dying inside.

"But I was wrong," you said which caught them off guard

You smiled, "The rotten rose does not symbolize our relationship, instead it tells you why our relationship ended that way." You said and breath out, "rotten rose, it's so random to give anyone a rotten rose when you're ending your relationship with them right? But that rose means that he is dying, just like the rotten rose, his heart rots that day, day by day it wilted until it died just like his heart, he gave me that rose because it reminds him about the love that we shared, and it also reminded him how we are going to end—rotten. That's why he gave me that." You explained

You smiled, "he is so random, and I love him for that, he gave me all his love and I also gave him mine, he said it was the best gift that he had ever received in his entire life and that he didn't even expect to feel how to fall in love, and he was happy to feel it." You said, a tear escaping your eye as it rolled down your cheek

"I loved him— so much."

It was deadly silent and Taehyung wanted to know who is that very lucky and special person in your life, "noona," he called out so you looked at him and hum in response, he smiled awkwardly at you,"noona, What's his name?" He asked

You smiled, "His name is Baekhyun, Byun Baekhyun."
