Rosé POV

"Where are we going?" I asked Jimin as he pulled me from the girls after the festivals.

My manager didn't even stop him.

Sometimes, I was thinking if our manager doesn't care or she just trust me. Surely,  everyone knew we are on a dating ban but my secret escapades with Jimin doesn't seem like important to them.

Or, does YG Sajangnim told them I'm allowed to date?

Impossible.

I shook my head away from the thought when Jimin pulled me inside a room and gave me a paper bag.

"What's this?" my brows furrowed.

"I asked for your change of clothes with your manager." his cheeks blushed.

"You were talking with my manager?" I asked confused.

"Yah, well, I had to ask for their permission since you won't be going home tonight," he added as he scratches the back of his head.

I raised my eyebrows at him.

"And why are you deciding on where I will be sleeping,  Mr. Park?" I said,  my arms crossed.

"It's my Mom's birthday tomorrow. And she wanted to see you," he said and I almost choke on my saliva

"It's your Mom's birthday and you're just telling me that now?" I asked in disbelief. "I don't even have anything for her!" I said in a panic.

He can't possibly ask me to meet his Mom on her birthday without having anything to give.

I mean,  the fact that I wasn't even aware that it is her birthday made me want to kill myself.

The birthday of my in-laws should be one of those things I shouldn't be forgetting.

What am I even doing?

"Relax, it's still early. We can head down to a boutique and buy her a gift." he chuckled.

My nerves calm down a little.  He has a point. It's still early anyways.

"Okay, but where am I going to change?" I asked him.

It was literally just an hour after the festival and I was still on my performance clothes.

I was actually surprised how he was already on his casual jeans,  black button-down shirt and sneakers.

The fact that he was wearing his cap backwards and a bit of his platinum hair was showing makes him a thousand hotter on my eyes.

"Ahm, you can change in the corner,  I will check outside," he said as he bit his lower lip. "Or I can just stay here,  you know,  watch you and all," he added and I hit his shoulder lightly before I pushed him out of the room.

We were still inside of the venue and I wonder how he was able to find a vacant room in here.

He should have told me earlier so I could have changed in our dressing room, saving him from all this bother.

Once he is out, I opened the bag and pulled out the clothes.

My brows furrowed.

This isn't mine.

But I decided to wear it anyway.

I chuckle a bit after I realized that Jimin brought me black ripped jeans, with a black button-down shirt. Thank God he decided to bring me white sneakers instead.

This isn't some kind of coincidence.

Did he want us to wear a matching set of clothes or something? Coz I swear it's a little old fashion but then I won't deny that my heart flutter.

At least it isn't some kind of couple shirts with some prints on it.

I tucked the front of the shirt and pulled the black cap on the bag.

I quickly fold my clothes and put them back on the paper bag.

Once I was sure I look decent enough, I opened the door and Jimin was standing right in front,  guarding like a mad dog.

I swear this guy is too protective of me. But then I appreciate how he always makes sure I am safe.

He smiled once his eyes landed on me.

"As always,  my wife is so beautiful," he muttered as his hands landed on his chest like he's lovestruck.

My cheeks flushed red.

"Stop it. Someone might hear you." I stare at the ground unable to handle the loud sound of my heart beating.

This little tease. He's so determined to kill me, huh.

He took the bag from my hand and grabbed the other.

But then I stopped him.

"We don't have a mask." I pointed out.

It's still a little early and if we're going out to buy something for his mom,  we have like eighty per cent chance of being seen without our mask.

He turned around and grabbed both of my hands.

He looks at me in the eyes and I felt like my world stopped for a moment.

"Do you trust me?" He asked,  his eyes soften and again,  I was mesmerized by his beauty.

"I do," I whispered.

He pulled my cap to fix a bit of my messy hair. I thought he would just put it back but before he does,  he pulled me closer to kiss me on the forehead.

That was so fucking sweet.

My cheeks turned red and I felt my body getting hotter by the minute.

Why you, Park Jimin.

I looked around and noticed a few staffs looking at our direction so I pulled him outside.

I pulled my hat downwards to at least hide my face but then I realized that his was actually backwards, his whole face showing.

He is practically glowing. A super effective way to grab attention.

I stopped from my tracks and faced him.

"Are you not going to fix your cap?" I asked him.

"Nope." he said popping the "p" at the end. He sighs before he faced me.

"I want to be honest, babe. I wanted us to be official so I don't really care now if people see us. And the truth is, Bang Pd and your YG Sajangnim already talked and they said they're okay for us to get official." he stated,  a little nervous at my reaction.

My mouth went wide open, unable to grasp the new information that I just heard.

"Are you for real?" I exclaimed.

"Yeah." he chuckled.

"But everybody knows that Blackpink is in a dating ban," I muttered.

"I know. But they agreed. Well,  probably because of our "real" relationship that's why they agreed. So, if you're okay with people knowing about us, hmmm..." he bit his lip in anticipation.

"I mean,  I'm totally okay if you're not ready. I won't force you. Plus,  I know we both will get a lot of hate because of these, so I would understand. I am totally fine with whatever your decision." he added. His hands spread in front of me stating his point.

I closed my eyes for a moment.

Am I ready?

To be honest,  I would love for us to be official and I appreciate the fact that he asked me about it.  At least I know he's ready to be really committed to me.

And once we became official, maybe I will no longer have creepy guys follow me.

I almost shiver after remembering how that emcee had grabbed me by the arms earlier.

It was a little awkward on stage because it was so obvious that he was trying to flirt with me.

I didn't really want for Jimin to come for me because I can protect myself but I am glad that he did because that guy was a total creep.

Besides, if we go official, at least, people will be a little less shock once they find out that we are married. Though that might be known after ten years I guess.

Because we can't admit to people about that now. Both of our groups will suffer.

So I've decided.

I opened my eyes and stared at him.

"Thanks for allowing me to decide. And thanks for these clothes by the way." I stated and he smiled.

I pulled my cap a little higher,  enough for me to see the front of me clearly since his cap is facing backwards anyways.

I grabbed his hand and have it intertwine with mine.

"Let's go?" I asked and his grin widens, realizing what I meant, as we walked hand in hand outside the venue,  ready to face the judgement of the world.

As long as he's with me,  I will be ready to face the world.
