- Rosè
We reached the bar...
A bar that is a little friendly with their customers.
People are not doing some kind of scary things, everyone is just sitting on their tables, drinking while chit-chatting with their companions.
"Chaeyoung-ssi, what do you want for you?"
Tzuyu called and asked for my drink.
"Maybe...vodka? Vodka cranberry."
I answered and she nodded and talked to the bar tender.
Moments had passed and I keep myself busy with my phone. I keep scrolling through social media, though I am not this active on it, I still kept myself focused on it.
I can feel stare...
I am sure it is Jungkook, he is just across me, I can sense his eyes looking at me.
And that bothers me a lot.
I don't want to cause an issue...
If these people around us got drunk, no one will ever be aware of what they are going to do.
If he got drunk, no one knows...not even me knows what he will do.
"How many years habe the two of you shared?"
It was one of the nurses' question.
"One year."
Tzuyu answered with a shimmering smile.
"Ohh, pretty strong."
They cheered and of course, I smiled just for them to think nothing.
Few seconds...
Our orders were served.
I took a sip, didn't mind them for a lot of seconds.
I looked at the liquor in front of me.
I stared at it for so long that I didn't get to hear everyone calling me...
"Chaeyoung-a."
At last, Chanyeol tapped my arm, and I gave him a questionable look.
"Everyone is asking you if you have a boyfriend?"
Jennie eonnie whispered and tapped my knee.
They know what I would feel about the question...
But I seemed a smile and answered...
"I used to have..."
But my eyes can't lie, and it landed down in my lap.
"Tomorrow is supposed to be our fourth anniversary."
They looked at me pitiful, I caught their eyes the moment I lifted my gaze back to them.
"What happened?"
One of the nurses asked.
A weird chuckle escaped my lips...
I can sense the worried eyes of the people who knew about the real story.
"Do you really have to ask? What if she still not m...."
I cut the one nurse who is concern about my feelings, I laughed and said it was nothing.
Then I answered...
"His parents doesn't want me to be with him. His family hates my family. Our family are enemies through everything, fame, business, money, company and anything else. And he had forgotten me due to a partial amnesia, it's the unusual story but...that's what happened."
I looked at the person who asked, a pathetic expression is formed on his face.
He nodded and everyone felt so devastated for knowing what happened.
"It has been a year, don't worry, asking is totally fine."
I tried cheering them up with that but no one's emotion faded.
"Now I underatand why from the start, you're looking so intimidating."
One commented.
And I just laughed at it and nodded.
Then...
Unexpectedly, my eyes turned to Tzuyu who is looking at me intently while holding Jungkook's hand.
As if she's examining my thoughts and soul.
I smiled at her and I heard Chanyeol's sigh.
I tilted my head to where the three ladies are, I showed a smile but they shook their head, disagreeing to what I am showing.
They hate it...
They hate it when I am being pathetic, when I am pretending to be fine.
I also hate it...
But what's the other option rather than this?
I am broken, that's it...
I am in agony, and I haven't lifted myself up to the happiness yet.
They continued talking to each other...
And I continued pretending to be okay.
Everything turned to be normal for the following hours...
Until that hour came...
When everyone is drunk already, except Chanyeol, me and Jungkook.
"I think we all had enough."
I opinionated.
"You can go with them, I'll go home on my own."
Referring to the three ladies, I demanded to Chanyeol.
His brows furrowed...
Yet as he saw the images of the wasted three ladies, he knew that he can't refuse at all.
"Go with me us first, then I'll walk you home."
He demanded.
But I shook my head and proposed that...
"I'm tired and want to go home. I can go on my own, you can leave me. Just take care of them."
Pointing at the three, I proposed.
"I'll go with her."
I suddenly felt my stomach twisting that moment I heard his voice butting in.
"What?"
Chanyeol wanted him to clarify.
"We have the same way going to our village. I may walk with her."
He answered with grateful tone.
"But Tzuyu."
I muttered.
"I'll let her sleep on her grandma near our village."
He answered and shaped out a smile.
My eyes wanted to shut...
But I avoided just not to show any emotion.
"Jungkook...baby..."
Tzuyu is busted.
"Let's goooo."
Tzuyu is really wasted.
"Let's go."
My instinct worked that time and all I can do was to follow it.
I stood up, motioned that I will go and gave a last look to Chanyeol who will take care of the three ladies.
Jungkook stood up and carried Tzuyu at his back.
"Jungkook!"
I squealed as he dragged my thigh and pulled me to ride his back.
"You're so light, I love carrying you."
He commented and all I had done was to give him a kiss behind his ear while he was carrying me all the way from work to home.
The memory just flashed...
And if I am not strong enough, I had bawled in tears already.
We walked in a normal pace...
I don't want to take it slow, I don't want to see him carrying another woman, and I dom't want his shoulder to get stiff.
"Please, slow down."
Until he pleaded.
"Sorry."
I apologized, without looking at him.
I can't look at him...
I can't.
We continued...
No words at all.
The silence was only cut off by the wasted woman at his back.
"Babyyyy."
She whispered.
I heard him pecking kisses on Jungkook.
As a response, Jungkook just cleared his throat.
Few more steps...
"Can you please rang the doorbell?"
He wished which I did as we reached the gate of a house.
Jungkook stared at me, I can see him at the corner of my eyes.
Until someone went and.opened the gate.
I turned my back and immediately took steps away.
"Oh, Jungkook...is that Tzuyu?"
Probably a maid, asked.
"Ahh, she drunk too much. I have no car for today so I really can't get her to her house. Can I trust you about her?"
Jungkook is such a gentleman...
And it's breaking me...
Because his chivalry is not for me anymore.
"Don't go..."
Tzuyu mumbled as a man who seems like their security, took her from him.
"They are pretty rich as well...
No wonder why his parents will be willing to be their daughter-in-law."
Once Tzuyu had taken by the butler or security, the maid smiled and bowed before closing the gate.
Then, his head tilted to where I am standing...
I felt nothing, I felt numb and my lips just mumbled...
"I'll go now."
He looked at me blankly.
His fist are balled but not too much.
It feels like he is guilty.
I took steps...
And left him there.
I was about to let my tears out...
But I felt a warm hand grabbing my wrist and stopping me from walking.
I couldn't move...
I couldn't even face him...
And all I did was to hear his words...
"I'll walk you home..."
