The girls wanted to be part of this internship that was highly selective. Everyone in the school applied since it would get them out of school early yet it gave them the same credit classes. Nobody wants to stay 12 hours in one classroom every day when you have the option to experience it first hand rather than reading it in books.

Only eight students per school were selected each year. Lisa and Jennie were the ones who got accepted on the first try, Jisoo and Rose, although they got rejected, were not envious of their friend's accomplishments, but were amazed by their achievements.

Let's just say in the day of the results Jisoo and Rose ate of a full tub of ice cream and teared up a little.

Lisa got lucky and interned as an assistant for the future Ceo of an Engineer company which goes by the name of Jung Hoseok a 20-year-old. Lisa and Hoseok have a good relationship in terms of working together.

Rose was really bored all by herself in school, she's been in for school eleven hours. who could blame her?

Uninterestedly she read her book, about Cleopatra. All her focus couldn't go to her English assignment. At that moment she had a great idea, an idea that would change her whole life.

Rose put her book back to her bag and put her coat on enough to cover her entire uniform. She sneaked out of school and ran.

She was going to visit Lisa.

Lisa's job site was only four blocks away. She walked four blocks until she got to her job site, Then she realizes she had a little problem with her surprise visit, she didn't know what floor she was supposed to go to. 'maybe this is a bad idea' she wanted to surprise her but she had little info on where she could be located in the building that consists of 20 floors.

She tried opening the door of the entrance and she couldn't get in. "yup this was a bad idea" she spoke to herself. People that worked in the building had a special key card to get in and obviously Rose didn't have one, She tried and tried to open the door with all force but the door didn't budge.

"Did you forget your card?" she heard someone from behind ask. She turned around her eyes met a tall gentleman with a smile across his face. He laughed, Rose unsure of his questions and laugher. He apologizes "Oh I'm sorry, it's just that I saw you struggling all the way from my car"

Her cheeks turn to a pink tone showing her embarrassed impression in front of a handsome guy she felt attracted to. "Oh ... you.. saw.. that"

He nodded. She slaps herself mentally.

He puts the key in the sensor making it turn green. He opened the door for her "there you go" he smiles. Rose walks into the building, "thank you".

Since he looked young, Rose had a feeling he might be an intern of a university. She remembered that Lisa told her that there were some interns that came from a university or from high schools.

"Are you an intern by any chance?" She asked.

"kind of" he answers, walking off to the elevator. He puts his hand in front of the sensor of the elevator so it won't close "aren't you getting in?" he questions. At that moment Rose didn't know what to do, she doesn't know what floor Lisa was located. Shit shit shit shit

"oh yea" her legs walked faster than her mind did. "what floor are you going?" the first thing that pops in her head. "I'm going to the cafeteria"

"same" she snaps at him. shit shit shit. He raised an eye brown then suddenly gave an amused grin appear. "you seem nervous, are you alright?" he lowers his head to get to her height, Rosie's cheeks become red like a tomato. She never had this feeling before, her heart kept jumping up and down and there was no remote control to shut it down. "so handsome"

shit shit "Did I just say that out loud?" she falls to the ground and hides in one of the corners of the elevator. All she hears is a loud chuckle.

Let's just say, after that event, Rose went directly home and didn't even get the chance to see the cafeteria or Lisa's face.

The feeling of embarrassment still remained throughout the rest of the day. 

January 15, 2016

The sun came down and it was getting late. Rose was waiting in a cafe near Lisa's job site. She sips her coffee with her straw. "Wow, it's still hot?" Spoke to herself, burning her tongue. Lisa had to complete her internship hours of the day and Lisa was her ride, so she had no choice to wait for her.

Might as well do homework.

Rosie pulls out her phone and started to play games on her phone.

Took a bite of her melon bread, and concentrated on her game. Her player was running through the jungle looking for precious jewels.

She was so into the game the citizens turn around and to see who was the girl making inhuman noises "yasss" "yehet" "holy"

"Hey gorgeous"

She looked up and follow the sound of the voice. It was a teenager, who was too tall for his own good. "Thanks to you, you just made me die" she smiled forcefully of his sudden wink attack. "Well I am someone to die for" he started pulling a chair to sit with her.

"I highly doubt it" she raised an eyebrow mumbling to herself.

"Whatchu say?" He snaps, tapping the table with his fingers. "Nada" she shrugged.

She sips her coffee one more time "why so lonely?" He asked, "I'm waiting for a friend, so scooch mooch" sometimes being by yourself in a cafe this late at night was a problem. "Honey-"

"Dude I'm not going to fix the boner in your pants" she admitted looking at his pants.

"I will rather make it worse" she kiss the air and raise her eyebrows while tilting her head "ehh"

He rolled his eyes and gave up on the stubborn little girl and eventually left to his friends that were laughing at him for coming back empty-handed. 

Rose went back to play her game. "I need to collect all these jewels" as quick as he left. She completely forgot about her coffee and played until it got cold. She looked over her shoulder and realize that Lisa's building lights were getting dim one by one. "Time to go home" she shakes her wrists as excitement.

She stretches out her arms and closes her eyes while she yawns. "Hey" she heard someone say. "I told you I'm not going to fix -" she stopped talking when she opens her eyes it was the same guy she met yesterday. "your boner?" She finishes her sentence and he raises an eye brown from confusion. "Boner?" He wonders.

Her cheeks starters to heat up. "n-no-noo" "there was this ... guy... that kept bothering me and I assumed it was you"

"I like that song too, by Apink right? Rosie... no need to explain yourself..." she froze on her seat. "Whut?"

"How do you know my name! Cause" she got interrupted "Rosie don't you remember me, it's me" is that why her heart kept fluttering yesterday? Even now, heart kept fluttering as it was met with nostalgia. Did her heart remember something? The last time her heart beat this fast was for...She stoop up and puts his bangs to the side to have a better recognition. "Hoseok?" "Hoseok."

"You came back! you're actually here?" 

* Flashback *

All of the girls family were high middle-class citizens except for Rose. She wasn't as lucky as her three best friends because her parents didn't go to college. They had little income but she wasn't ashamed of it because she deeply cares for her parents and loves them even though they can't give her everything she desires.

The last one to join the group of friends was Rose.

Her brother and her family moved from Australia to Seoul. Her parents could no longer afford to live in Australia since her parents income wasn't enough. The reason why they were in Australia, to begin with, was because Rose parents were deeply in love and their parents didn't approve of the relationship, so they decided to ran away to Australia without much thought, without any money so both of them never studied due to the lack of income.

Her father had an old friend in South Korea that gave him a good job and he gladly accepted it and thought it was time to come back to their homeland. The family was exceptionally grateful for this opportunity.

Because finding a good place to live was hard to find, her Father was ready to decline the job, but his friend offered them a place to stay at his older Sister basement until they were able to find a better place. 

It was supposed to be temporary, living there.

Nobody noticed that the Jeon family moved into the neighborhood mostly because they had nothing to move in with, but a suitcase in their hand. The Jeon family sold all their belongings in order to buy plane tickets and have some leftover for rent/food.

When they moved in, they were pleasantly surprised that the location of their new home was in such a well-off neighborhood. For a basement, it pretty damn big.

Jungkook and Rose were really humbled so whatever they got it was considerate a gift from God.

Apparently, the owner was lonely older women that was barely home due to her job and didn't mind them staying over. Especially when she was told that the family had bright kids. She thought the house would gain some light from them.

She wasn't wrong, but she wasn't right either. 

When the famous carnival came to town, Rose's mother got an offer to work there for 2 weeks. While their mother was working, Jungkook and Rose volunteer in the carnival after school ended. Everyday.

Rose noticed three pretty girls from her school came to the carnival religiously.

She licked her ice cream, with her brother next to her. "You own me 5,000 won" Jungkook smirked, she squinted her eyes to see if that was really the 3 same girls. She sighs loudly and took her 5,000 won from her pocket. Rose bet that they will only come 4 out of the 7 days but no they came seven out of the seven days just like Jungkook predicted. "Here you go" she smacks the money in his hand and gave her ice cream another lick.

"They sure love the carnival!" He expressed.

"How did you guess that they come all this week?" She asked curiously.

"It's because I asked."

At that moment she stops licking her ice cream. "bad bunny"

"Why don't you talk to them? They are actually really nice" he admits. Rose had a hard time making friends back in Australia due to the fact that they kept moving. Transferring to new schools, making new friends only to leaving them behind killed her inside. That's when she decided that she wasn't going make friends again. 

She actually wanted to be close with them, they hang around with two boys Namjoon and Jimin a lot. 

Jungkook would tag along with the boys and sometimes with the girls. While she spends her hours in her room designing an outfit for special occasions.

The Ferris wheel announced that they will do a final turn and Rose flew like the wind; out of the things in the carnival she loved the Ferris Wheel, she always took it before she went home. She used her V.I.P pass as a volunteer to cut line and make it on time to be one of the last one.

"That was close." She thought.

She notices who she cut in line, who she took their spots from.

It was those three girls.

They looked frozen. "There's always next time" one of them mentioned.

She knew how they loved this carnival so she decided to do something she wouldn't usually do but it was the best decision she made. "This cart fits 4 and I'm only one, and it appears that those 3 girls are together, let them in! If they want" she stated to the owner of the ride.

Happily, the girls accepted.

Her heart was trembling, she didn't dare to look at them instead she stares outside, a view she wanted to see. It was quiet and awkward, but one of them decided to break the silence. "It was very nice of you to let us join you" Jennie declared. Rose nodded like a wobble head which made the girls giggle. The girls were curious of her, especially her ginger-haired.

"you're Jungkook's sister, right ?" One of them asked. "Yea... I am" it almost came out as a whisper. *Rose have some confidence*.

She was intimidated by them, they realize that and decided not to bother her. "I'm so excited for the Circus to come tomorrow" the tall girl explained, squeaking like a wild rat. Actually, that's offensive to the wild rat. She thought.

"I want to touch the horses"

"there's a horse coming?" another one asked.

"Actually it already came, it recently had a baby" Rose responded. All the girls were shook. "Did you get the chance to see the baby too?" she nodded and she swears that they scream for a solid minute. "You're so lucky, is it tiny?"

"It's tiny and cute"

For a solid minute, they scream in a very high pitch. "I'm even more excited now!" The girl with a bob cut exclaimed. At this point, all of them forgot about the view the Ferris wheel was offering. Rose wonders how high could their pitch go!

She smirks.

"Would you like to see the horses?!" She calmly said, holding up her volunteer card.

Let's just say someone almost called 1-1-9 thinking some little girls were getting killed at the top of the Ferris wheel. 

At least not yet.
