Don't show up, don't come out. Don't start caring about me now. Walk away, you know how.
Lily poked at the bag of fish with a curiously sticky finger. You had told her to stop, lest she stress out the fish, but telling a four year old to do anything only yielded a 45% positive result.
You were barely in the house 10 minutes before your phone rung. You made the mistake of answering without looking at the caller ID.
"Hello?"
"Hey, Y/N." Rosé's voice is soft, a lot less accusatory than Jennie's was. That was something you greatly appreciated.
"Hi, Chae."
There was a pause on the other end. Then, Chaeyoung started to frantically whisper something to someone else. You raised an eyebrow, but before you could question anything, she spoke to you again.
"Let's meet up for coffee."
You feel as those you don't really have a choice, "That sounds...nice."
Lily is happy to spend some time with her babysitter, while you go out. You assumed she's a bit tired of just you all the time. And surprisingly, that doesn't make you feel bad.
The coffee shop is some out of the way hole in the wall. You're not sure how Rosé found it, but you're glad she did.
You laughed as your companion sat down in front of you. The four years hadn't changed much of anything, other than maybe her hair.
"Why are you laughing at me? Do I have something on my face?" She's wearing a mask, so even if she did, you wouldn't be able to tell.
"No. It's just funny to see you without your gaggle of managers, and screaming fans."
Rosé hummed and took a sip of the coffee you had ordered for her.
"Yeah, we've been let off the leash so to speak. It's great."
You nodded, then frowned.
"So, Jennie told you."
"Told me what? That I have a neice that I knew nothing about?" Chaeyoung doesn't seem mad, maybe a tad disappointed but she does well to keep it off of her face.
"...Yeah. Did she tell anyone else?" You're trying to be subtle, but you've never been very good at that.
"You mean did she tell Lisa? I'm sure she overheard. Jennie doesn't whisper." Chaeyoung shrugged.
"I'm so sorry. I didn't mean for any of this to happen. I wanted to stay, I really did, but then I found out I was pregnant and I didn't want to ruin anyone's career with the inevitable scandal that would have been. So I left." Your hands wrung in your lap.
"I'm not the one you should be apologizing to."
"I already told Jennie-"
"I'm not talking about her."
"Then who?"
"Her." Chaeyoung pointed to behind you, toward the entrance of the cafe.
