Rosie's POV
I turned my back once I heard the door slowly opening. The screeching sound it created made my heart beat rapidly.
Jake, Vash and I just arrived back five minutes ago on the bus, and I headed straight to the room.
The boys are already inside and I heard that their concert won't start until three hours from now.
They just hopped back by the bus to take a rest for an hour before heading back to the stadium to have their makeup done and all.
I can still remember their reaction when they saw the three of us arriving.
Josh raised his eyebrows at the sight of Jake who is carrying all of my shopping bags while Vash was so busy eating an ice-cream.
Yeah, he was licking it like a child.
Haiden and Rome were sneering with each other while Jason gave us a knowing look.
A groan escaped my lips as my eyes caught Jason doing kissing gestures with his hands as he stares at both Jake and I.
I'm just so glad Yohan was just there on the couch, sleeping, so I have one lesser individual scrutinizing us.
Not that he does anyways because whenever he is awake, he is just always busy video calling his girlfriend.
"I didn't know you three were together." Rome oppa muttered and Jason just grinned at Jake who was consciously standing right behind me.
"Oh, you shoul-umpp!" Vash had to catch his breath as Jake hit his stomach with all the bags that he is carrying.
Vash's body laugh forward as he felt the pain surging on his body. Jake grinned evilly at his hyung and Haiden oppa just laughed at the sight of them.
That must have hurt.
I was so sure I both a pair of shoes and it is definitely inside of one of those bags.
"Ahm, I need to go." I mumbled before turning towards Jake as I try to take all my shopping bags from his hands.
However, the lad made a step backward. "Let me just carry this to the room." he declined but I insisted on getting the bags.
"It's fine. Thanks for carrying it for me." My cheeks blushed after seeing his serious expression.
Just remembering how he saw me in my most vulnerable state makes me want to crawl inside a hole and hide from the world.
Why did I even start playing? And why did I actually sing?
The weirdest question is; why did I have to cry in front of those people? In front of him?
I can still vividly remember how he rushed towards me and pull me in a hug.
The crowd gathering us break into a series of applause and I know we had made a huge scene on the music store and thank God he was wearing a mask.
Imagine if people recognized him.
He quickly took me with him but not before instructing Vash to get my bags.
Once I calmed down, I moved away from him, as I realized how he had been almost hugging me like were some boyfriend and girlfriend as we walk out from the string of people around us.
I don't remember when and how Vash got his ice-cream.
I was just so lost about everything that had happened and I can barely even remember how I ended up back on the bus.
The silence in the room made it easier for me to hear the sound of the footsteps getting closer to where I was lying and my inner self decided that it's best to pretend that I was asleep.
I felt the side of my bed shifting from the weight of whoever it is that sat behind me.
My heart started beating like crazy yet every cell on my body was aware who the person is.
My senses might have actually get used to his presence because just his mere scent is enough for me to recognize him
J ake.
Why is he here?
He was silent for a minute before I heard him speak.
"I know you were not sleeping." he started and I grunted internally at his words.
Do you really have to tell?
"You know, I once bottled up my emotions and the result didn't quite get well." he started.
What is he talking about?
My hands move closer to my chest as I listen to my heartbeat.
"So what I'm saying is, it's not my business to ask but I know something is bothering you...."
His voice was so soft I had to stop the urge from turning over so I can look at him.
"However, I want you to know that even though you just met me and the rest of the boys, you can always confide us if there is something wrong or whenever you're ready." he added and I was started with the sincerity coming from his voice.
I felt it. He means what he said. And somehow, I had this voice inside me to listen to his words.
"If you ever need someone to talk to, I'm willing to listen. We may have started on a wrong foot and I know why you feel indifferent about me, but please give me a chance to redeem myself." Soft chuckle escaped his lips after his words.
"Samantha noona told me about it and I can't blame you for seeing me like some kind of shit of a brother. But please know that I love my sister very very much."
My cheeks felt hot at his words and suddenly, I feel embarrassed for judging him easily when I don't even know how he felt and why he came to that decision.
As what Samantha unnie told me before, Jake adores him a lot and he was hurt when he found out that she's leaving.
Stupid Rosie...
"Anyways, you might feel bored while staying here. You can go around the city if you like or you can go to our concert. I'm leaving tickets beside your bed and it's your decision if you'd like to watch." he stated before I felt his weight being off from the bed.
"And I'm sorry if you ever felt angry because of what I did to my sister. I know she suffered a lot because of me and you may have shared her suffering so I apologize."
My heart fluttered at his words.
He doesn't have to apologize. Now I'm feeling so small about myself.
I know unnie had told me that they were okay now but then just remembering how she suffered made me hate him a lot. I tend to forget that it's their life and they are family.
When I heard the door opening, I took a deep breath before muttering the words I've been dying to tell him since earlier.
"Sorry...." I whispered but enough for him to hear. I know he did because I heard him stop from his tracks.
"Sorry for judging you so easily and," I choke on my own saliva as I try to muster every bit of confidence that I have to tell him my next words. "Thank you for earlier."
I wait in despair as I listen to his response.
Say something! I wanted to scream. I should have pretended to be asleep until the end.
After a minute of agony, I sigh in relief as I heart soft chuckles escaping his mouth.
I turned my attention back to him and my eyes landed on his amused expression.
"What's funny?" I pouted, crossing my arms over my chest, a little annoyed at his reaction.
"Nothing. You know what? You look really cute while pouting." he added and my cheeks burned red at his words.
Suddenly, the image of me kissing him full on the mouth came into view and I just realized how stupid I had acted.
God Rosie, that was so embarrassing!
My fingers curled in embarrassment as I tried not to cringed just by remembering it.
He looked at me with a mischievous glint on his eyes before speaking.
"By the way, you look really good on my shirts. If you ever want, you're more than welcome to wear my clothes because I love seeing them..." he stared at my legs for a moment and I notice the movement on his Adam’s apple.
Shit. Why does he look so sexy?
But then I realized that he is still staring so I pulled his jumper down to cover my legs a little, embarrassed at his sudden showing of attention.
"Yep. I definitely like seeing my shirt hanging loosely on your body." he bite his lower lip before winking at me playfully.
I grabbed the pillow on my bed before throwing it on his direction but he just closed the door.
However, I was so sure everyone inside the bus heard him laughing.
Jake, I really don't understand you. One minute, you were kind and all then the next moment, you're all out flirting with me.
I'm not even sure this is a good idea. Is it?
