continuing story..

"Jimin!" Rosé exclaimed happily, about to run up to the love of her life who was at the other side of the road, when suddenly, she stopped in her tracks to see him run up to an unfamiliar person "huh?" she was a woman wearing a pink floral patterned hoodie with denim jeans, and was definitely not anyone she knew, which made her suspicious. who the? she paused to watch him kiss the women's cheeks, take her hand, then walk away to wherever, leaving nothing but a heartbroken Rosé in the middle of the streets.

she witnessed a crushing sensation inside her head, feeling sadder than ever. she felt her eyes getting hot once again as tears kept streaming down her face along with feelings of deep distress and sorrow. "Jimin..i can't believe you.. you had been meeting up with a women behind my back this whole time?!" she wanted to say it loud and clear for him to hear, feeling the urge to cry louder too.

she heard the sound of her heart breaking, crumbling down a into thousands of pieces. ugh.. she pressed her lips together tightly, unable to speak any more words. she couldn't bare it any longer seeing him with another woman that should've been her, and could only think of running off to somewhere where she won't be suffering anymore, or be feeling this much pain. and of course, she did exactly as her heart commended. "ah–" when suddenly, she tripped on a rock and fell, hurting her ankles as well as cutting her knee a bit, leaving her helpless on the ground.

arriving home with a broken ankle, puffy red eyes, messy hair and a bruised knee for her parents to worry over wasn't an option, therefore she decided to drop by her friend's and sleep there. once she arrived, she clicked on the doorbell and waited for her friend to answer.

"oh, Rosie! whacchu doing here?" she asked happily as her face lit up to see her dear friend Rosé in front of her door step. however, her smile soon disappeared, replacing a worried look as she noticed Rosé in a terrible condition, "oh my god, what happened? how you get this much injured?" she quickly pulled her in the shelter, "I'm okay, don't worry about me." said Rosé, her voice trembling. "no, you're not!" her friend held Rosé in her arms and patted her forehead gently, "you have a fever too??" she panicked.

she brought Rosé to her bedroom and gave her some hot tea, "relax, okay? how are you feeling?" she said calmly, taking her hand.

"I'm feeling fine."

"oh, that's great to hear. anyway, I'll let you sleep on the bed,"

"no no, I can sleep on the floor–"

"Rosie stop being stubborn, your condition would worsen."

"alright.."

Rosé's POV.

it was already midnight and I couldn't even sleep a wink the whole time, everything I could think of was Jimin. Jimin this, Jimin that.

my eyes felt dry after hours and hours of crying as I kept getting flashbacks of him walking with that woman. who is she to him? is she his new girlfriend or something? I knew Jimin wouldn't do that to me, maybe he just needed something to went his anger and sadness on after what happened, but, I still couldn't help but wonder if they might be a thing. for sure I could've relieved my stress at least a bit if I was able to drift off to sleep somehow, but sadly, no. I couldn't.

in the end, I gave up trying to sleep and stood up from my bed to look around the dark lightless room. "I.. I don't think I wanna keep going." I mumbled to myself before rubbing my eyes, feeling tired of crying all night. I wiped off my runny nose from a tissue, then headed outside to find the lake in front of her house shimmer in the light emitted from the moon. although I would've taken the time to admire the breathtaking beauty of the scene while admiring the silver full moon shining above the sky, I certainly wasn't in the mood to do that tonight.

meanwhile, with Jimin

it was the dead of night, and coincidentally, he wasn't able to fall asleep either. he decided to go on a stroll near the infamous bridge which was quite popular among lovers, photographers, and people who admire beautiful lake sceneries in general. he found a quiet spot near a café – and speaking of which – he got a warm drink that seemed to perfectly fit the mood, but mainly to relax and try to forget his breakup.

"Rosé.." he whispered to himself, imagining how it'd feel to watch the lake together with her. although it was heartbreaking for him, and had been crying for the past few hours, he took the breakup calmly afterwards and managed to keep his mental health stable. "I still love you, I can't just forget you." he sighed before clutching his chest as his heart started to ache thinking about her.

"why'd you do this to me?"

back to Rosé (Rosé's POV.)

when I saw the beautiful lake below the bridge, I had a sudden strange feeling. weird. I thought, slowly walking towards the bridge, eventually reaching high enough to see the lake clearly when I look down. I wonder, how would it feel to drown? my mind overwhelmed with all sorts of thoughts, even suicidal ones, making me scared. I was sure I might be going insane.

I climbed up the metallic bar, "if Jimin doesn't love me, then what's the point?" I said to myself at the sight of the moon reflecting on the blue water. when suddenly, I felt my feet slip, gasp– I reached out my hand to grab the bar, but missed, resulting in falling down to the water after a few seconds of what seemed like floating in the air. my heart pounded fast, everything happening as fast as a lightning bolt that I couldn't even get a second to think straight.

I felt the water splash loudly as I fell, and when I finally found a way to open my eyes, I couldn't see anything clearly as my vision started to get blurry, eventually going pitch black afterwards.

end of Rosé's POV.

at the exact same moment, Jimin came out of a shop just in time to find Rosé standing on top of the metal bar, making him flinch to find her there in that position. "what the fuck–" he didn't bother completing his sentence as he ran up to her in panic and shock. the drink in his hand fell on the ground as well, causing it to splash everywhere, "watch it, you moron!" a person yelled.

however, none of that was his concern, Rosé was Jimin's top first priority and he couldn't care less about the drink, nor whatever the people around him were saying.

"Roseanne you fucking idiot." he mumbled before jumping straight into the water as well, risking it all for her.

splash!
