I love you, Roseanne Park Chaeyoung.

Chapter 20: The Road to Recovery

"Jennie! You look stunning! How is Lisa doing today?."

"Jennie Kim! Can you comment about the report on Lisa's recovery?."

"Jisoo! Jennie! Since you are here everyday, do you have time to prepare for Blackpink's comeback?."

"Jisoo! How do you feel about all of this?."

"Jennie! Look here please!."

"Blackpink! Girls! Where is Rosé?."

"Can one of you comment about Rosé's relationship with Lisa? Fans are speculating that they are a couple!."

"Does YG's dating ban still apply to you girls even after 3 years?."

I turned to look to Jisoo before reaching the van, her lips sewn tight in a line and her eyes filled with anger.

She spun around before the door, and I saw her lips part as if she was about to say something.

Uh oh.

This can't be good.

"LISTEN-," she started but was cut off by me pushing her in the van.

"YAH JENNIE KIM! Why did you do that???," she scorned.

I faced her after clicking in my seatbelt.

"Let's not escalate the situation more than it already is. Manager-unnie said she'll handle it, we need to trust her and let her do her job okay?."

She sighed and looked out the window "I hate how you're always right," she mumbled.

"If Lisa saw us right now, she'd say we sound like an old married couple," I giggled.

This caught her attention pretty quickly, she smiled then signalled me to check my phone.

Jichu💕 : Managernim is in the car, so I shouldn't say this out loud

Jendeukie🖤: Ugh, I hate that we have to be so careful around everyone

Jichu💕 : haha ikr

Jendeukie🖤 : what did you want to say that you can't say out loud?

Jichu💕 : I'm...

Jendeukie🖤 : you're...?

Jichu💕 : I'm craving some chimkin

Jendeukie🖤 : wtf, seriously?

Jichu 💕 : haha I'm joking! Well not really, I do want some chicken.

Jendeukie🖤 : ... tell Managernim so he can make a pit stop

Jichu💕 : we'll be an old married couple one day

Jendeukie🖤 : we will??

Jichu💕 : yes, I promise you that.

Jendeukie🖤 : aww, chu. 😍

Jendeukie🖤 : does that mean you're gonna be the one that proposes? ;)

Jichu💕 : yeap, and I hope you'll be the one that says yes.

Jendeukie🖤 : we'll see about that.

Jichu💕 : what do you mean?? HOW CAN YOU REJECT MY PROPOSAL?

Jendeukie🖤 : because you're a crackhead.

Jichu💕 : no I'm not. :(

Jendeukie🖤 : and a baby 🍼

Jichu💕: what??

Jendeukie🖤 : my baby 😘

I giggled before sticking my tongue out at her and winked. She scrunched up her nose and playfully slapped me on my arm.

Chaeyoung's POV

I looked at my phone and the time read "11:32pm" as I smiled at Lisa.

Her nurse had just left after Lisa's routine daily antibiotics dose, and I was about to get up to change into loungewear when I got a call from YG.

I stared at the caller ID for a few seconds before proceeding to stand up and make my way to the toilet.

"Babe, aren't you gonna take that?," Lisa pointed at the vibrating phone just next to her knee.

"Don't worry, it's not important," I smiled back.

As I close the door, I looked at my bag of toiletries and started to take out my skincare products.

As I took then out one by one, I reached and found the prescription slip for anti-depressants.

I went to visit the therapist once, after much persuasion from Jennie and Jisoo, and after the consultation I just never went back.

Before I could finish my thoughts, I heard Lisa calling for me.

"Chaeng? Are you okay in there?."

I wiped the tears that I didn't know were forming in my eyes, and looked in the mirror. Making sure I looked fine before returning to her side.

"Yeah, I'm good baby," I kissed her forehead.

Her eyebrows furrowed, indicating that she was worried although I've assured her.

"Y-your messages..." her hand lifting up to show me my phone.

I glanced over the messages from YG and my managers.

"Why didn't you tell me, Chaeyoung?."
