Chapter 33: Chapter 33

Rosie's POV

"I can't believe you and Lisa would be coming at the same time," I heard Samantha unnie squealing and I chuckled at her reaction.

God, I miss this girl.

"I haven't talked with Lisa for so long," I told her before pulling her for a hug.

She just fetched me at the airport and apparently, Lisa's flight will arrive any minute too.

It's funny how the three of us will end up being together again. Additionally, I can't wait to meet Jessie.

It took me two days to settle everything, my passport, my flight, until contacting Samantha unnie who, the moment heard my voice showered me a million of scolding and I took them all since I know it was my fault.

I feel so stupid for forgetting that my mom has her number, or maybe I was just scared to reach out to her because I wasn't sure how to face Jake again.

After telling her that I would visit, I told her to keep this a secret with the boys. And thank God she agreed.

Now, Lisa, I didn't know she had plans on visiting. It has been so long since we last talked and saw each other.

Technically speaking, these sudden turn of events are turning into my favor.

"Wait, how did Lisa end up coming over?" I asked confused. "You invited her?" I asked which isn't impossible. Samantha unnie had been inviting us to visit ages ago and we're just too busy to accommodate her request.

"I don't even know." She chuckled, ecstatic about the fact that we'd soon be bonding with each other. "She just said something about surprising someone here in Korea," she added and I raised an eyebrow.

"Did she got herself a boyfriend or something?" I pulled out my new phone and checked the time. "What time did she said her flight will be arriving again?"

Samantha unnie checked her phone as well.

"It has landed, let's go and wait for her in the arrivals area," she said before pulling me towards the same direction where I came from earlier.

While on our way, I noticed a few people giving us some glance. And then I remembered, Samantha unnie is quite famous being Jake's older sister and Josh oppa's girlfriend.

My eyes widened after remembering Josh oppa. I halted in my tracks, my eyes focusing on her. She stopped walking after being pulled back since she was pulling me by the hands.

She stared at me with a questioning look, "Why?"

An exasperated sigh escaped my lips, my insides churning as nervousness once again started to take over.

"Please tell me you and Josh oppa are back together," I whispered and the glint in her eyes changed, I ended up biting my other hand with my teeth.

I felt so bad. How did I forget to ask about her relationship with Josh oppa when it had started to be messed up because of me and Jake?

"Unnie..." I whispered nervously, her face stern and somehow, I felt apologetic for asking her now.

My heart almost dropped on the floor after her face suddenly breaks into a cheeky grin before chuckling.

"We're back together. I love that idiot too much breaking up with him almost killed me," she stated and I can't help but hit her by the shoulder.

"Unnie!!!" I faked-cry. "Why are you so mean to me?" I pouted, my other hand clutching at my chest.

She smirked at me before pulling my hand again so we can meet Lisa.

"And this Thai girl, she's only meeting us because she has a boyfriend?" I snickered.

"Unnie, hello, can we ask for a photo?" a shy teenager came towards us, her cheeks blushing while the girl who seemed like her little sister hides behind her.

"Of course," Samantha unnie smiled kindly. I guess she's used to have people asking for her photo.

"Is she your friend unnie? Can we also take a picture with her? She looks so pretty," she added and my mouth formed an "o" shape at her compliment.

"It's okay," I shyly declined. I'm not used to these kind of attention. Plus, I'm not someone famous anyway.

"Tsk, come here," Samantha unnie pulled me a little and I almost shrieked in shock. The girl's little sister chuckled and we all stared at her in awe.

"Aww, you look so cute," I cooed before crouching a little, offering my hands so I can lift her up. She looked at her sister for a moment as if asking for permission and when her sister nodded, she happily hopped over me.

"Hi!" I greeted her and her toothy grin showed, both Samantha unnie and I cooed at her cuteness.

"What's your name?" I asked while brushing the locks of her hair to the side.

"Ji Eun," she answered before lunging her arms to pull me for a hug. My heart melted at her action and I was sure we heard a few people squealing at her cuteness.

"How old is she?" I heard Samantha unnie asked to the teenager. She looks pretty by the way and judging by her looks and physique, she maybe around sixteen or something.

"She's four. We're just waiting for our parents. Their flight got delayed," she stated before we saw a few people coming out from the gates

"Oh, their coming. Let's take a picture, shall we?" Samantha unnie offered and after a few shots together, the other two bowed before us.

"Ji Eun! You're so cute, I hope I'd see you again," I muttered before giving her a peck on the cheeks.

Not long after, they were waving goodbye towards us after their parents arrived.

"Unnies!!!!" Samantha unnie and I both turned around at the sound of Lisa's familiar squealing.

"Lisa!!!" I whisper-shouted excitedly as both me and Samantha unnie run towards her for a hug.

We were jumping up and down as the three of us hug each other. It took us a whole five minutes before we can calm down.

"Lisa, you got taller!" I nudged her by the shoulder and she just rolled her eyes. Her hair was longer too but her bangs stays the same.

"You got prettier. Do you have a boyfriend?" she raised her eyebrow at me and my cheeks blushed in instant, Samantha unnie's faint laughter can be heard behind us.

We were just waiting for the car to arrive.

Once it arrives and our luggage were already loaded at the back, the three of us ended up talking non-stop while on our way to God knows where.

"Jessie is such a sweetheart. The two of you will surely love her," Samantha unnie excitedly told us and I can't help but smile.

I had spoken to Jessie over the phone a few times when Yohan oppa used to video call her on the bus.

"By the way, I'm sure the boys already knew you're here Rosie. I don't even know why but their fans always tag my photos to their account as if I'd be missing any minute," she chuckled.

"Oh right, I heard you stayed with them on their tour bus. How was it?" she asked a little too excitedly.

"Huh?" I asked confused. The car halted in front of what seemed like a hotel or apartment building, and we all hop down the car before following Samantha unnie as she headed straight to the elevator.

While inside the elevator, I can't help but remember Lisa's words earlier. I turned my attention towards her.

"Hey Lisa, how did you know I stayed with them?" I asked confused, the sound of the elevator opening can be heard.

Lisa looked a little nervous as she avoided my glance.

"Well, someone close to me told me about it," she whispered but I heard her loud and clear.

Does Lisa know one of the boys? I asked myself.

Soon enough, the three of us were standing in front of the door and my heart started beating rapidly.

Is he inside?

Just the thought of seeing him again makes my heart want to burst. I am so excited but scared at the same time.

What if he doesn't want to see me?

What if I took too long and he's now angry?

I didn't even notice that Samantha unnie already had the door opened and the two already entered.

With my heart beating loudly, I slowly followed them inside.

The first thing I noticed is the messy surrounding and the two people cuddling on the bean bag facing the door.

Jessie and Yohan oppa was sleeping while hugging each other, they look so adorable.

Jason, who was sitting on the couch saw us first.

"Oh," he mumbled, unable to utter the right words. I'm not sure if it was because of me or because of Lisa whom he hasn’t seen before this.

Due to Jason's reaction, Rome and Vash soon followed his gazed only to show the same reactions.

"Where are the others?" Samantha unnie asked as we all move forward towards then.

My eyes wandered the room. The place was huge, enough for seven boys to fit in.

But then my eyes are searching for someone.

And as if on cue, Josh oppa emerged from what it seems like a kitchen, followed by Haiden oppa, who for some reason looked shocked as his face turned pale the moment his eyes landed on us. And then there is that someone I had been dying to see.

Jake

He didn't notice us but because Haiden oppa stopped walking, Jake almost bumped into him, making him follow the other's gaze.

And then our eyes locked.

He looked shocked for a moment.

I felt like my surroundings stopped, and only the two of us were standing in here.

He looked at me as if he has a lot to say.

But before I can even speak, I was startled when I heard someone screaming out his name.

"Jake!" Lisa screamed happily before rushing and engulfing him in a hug. Jake's eyes widened.

Everything happened so fast and the sight of Jake in Lisa's arms feels like someone just slapped me straight in the face.

Right, Rosie. You took too long.

With that, I turned around and rushed outside the door not minding the continues call of everyone.

I need to run.

Once again, you messed it up. And this time, it was entirely your fault.
