Rosé POV

The day Jimin and I parted inside the van as he personally sent me to the airport was probably the hardest day of my life.

The night before our flight, I promised myself that I will not cry when we leave but the moment I saw the sign of the airport, the amount of tears that I shed is nothing compared to that when I cried the whole night when I binge-watched my favorite Netflix series.

My heart ache like it's being prick with a thousand pieces of needles. Small yet deadly.

It took me a great amount of courage, words of comfort, persuasion, and a whole lot of promises for me to step down from the van to head inside the airport.

If it isn't because we only have a few minutes left to head inside, I wouldn't. If I didn't notice how tired Jimin had look, his eyes drippy from lack of sleep, I wouldn't budge from my clinging desperately in his arms.

He was so understanding and sweet even though I'm being all grumpy.

The image of him cupping my face as he tries to make me feel at ease is still vivid in my mind.

The whole trip to the airport consisted of me, leaning on his chest while his arms are wrapped around my body.

He was brushing my hair which sends shivers all throughout my system while he hums the melody of Serendipity close to my ear.

I know I was being childish and inconsiderate but I'm getting a sudden surge of emotion that I can't explain.

I know this isn't any different from when we were away before but this time, both our agencies will be releasing their statements for our 'supposed' break up.

I don't care what they tell to people but even though I said I'm okay with it, deep inside, I am affected.

"Chaeyoung-ah..." I turned to my side as I heard Lisa's voice. She smiled at me and I'm sure it's her way of reassuring me that everything will be alright.

My members, they have been nothing but a sweetheart. They've tolerated my behavior even though I, myself know that I am being too much.

I really need to make up for my shortcomings.

I'm starting to be a burden and I don't want to drag my members down.

The airplane just landed and we're now getting ready to step outside.

Fourteen long hours had passed and I'm now back in Melbourne. I know I should be happy because, in a few moments, I'd soon be seeing my family but I can't help but be sad.

I caused a great ruckus back in Seoul and I know I'll be stuck in here in a few months.

I felt a hand brush a few strands of my hair to my side as Jennie fixes the black mask that I was wearing. She then made sure that my cap is tilted downwards to keep my eyes from showing. It's still puffy from all of my cryings.

I am so sure my ugly looking face earlier had been plastered all over social media. With my eyes red, my face bloated from all the crying and my unstable state when I walked down the airport, I doubt it'll get a pass from all our fans who witness how unusual I looked.

It was a good thing that our flight schedule was unknown to the fans so only a few people saw us but then, a few fans saw us while onboard our flight.

After all the crying that I did, I immediately fell asleep during our flight.

The image of a tired Jimin crossed my mind.

Stupid, Chaeyoung. Why did you have to act like that when despite lack of sleep, he still offered to bring you to the airport.

Jimin had a shoot and their schedule was packed. He just headed out to bring me to the airport even though he is in the middle of a recording. It was a good thing that the members had individual takes so he was allowed to step out for a bit.

I should have asked him to take a rest instead of acting like a child.

I bite my lip in frustration, disappointed with my own actions.

Just how much can Jimin take? I'm afraid that at this rate, Jimin will get tired and leave me.

"Park Chaeyoung!" Jisoo unnie pouted as she tries to get my attention.

I was so out of it that I didn't even notice that we've reached the Arrival area.

"Ne? I'm sorry unnie." I apologized.

She gazed at me in understanding and before I knew it, I heard a familiar loud squealing coming from the other side.

"Chaeyoung imo!!!"

I turned around and saw my niece running real fast towards our direction. She was running too fast that I'm prepared for the impact but before her body landed on mine, I raised an eyebrow as Lisa intercepted her hug and lifted her up.

"Ji Hyunnie!!! Lisa Imo misses you so much!" she equally squealed.

"Wow, you two really matched, huh." I chuckled, amused at the sight in front of me.

Of course, everybody knows that Lalisa Manoban is more of a child, a prankster, and an aegyo queen when she's not in the stage.

Soon enough, my parents appeared including my sister

My mom then pulled me into a hug and I felt her body shaking. My arms wrapped around her body as I smell her familiar scent.

"My baby... I miss you so much. I'm glad you're back." she whispered and I felt my shoulder dampen a little, a sign that she's shedding some tears.

My Dad soon moved forward and engulfed us both in a hug.

"Aww, I wanna join..." I heard my sister complaining and soon enough, we're doing a hugging party at the airport.

"Imo, where's my samchon?" Ji Hyun asked and we all break out from the hug. By now, Ji Hyun is already down on the floor while Lisa stood by Jennie and Jisoo unnie.

I stoop down up to her level and cupped her beautiful face.

She looks a lot like me before so people are confusing me as her mom but now, she's starting to look more like her own mother.

"Ji Hyun, samchon in not with Chaeyoung imo because he has something important to do." the smile on her face faded and he looked at the ground avoiding my gaze."

Sometimes I wonder what Jimin did make Ji Hyun love him this much.

"But he told me he misses you and he'll visit you anytime soon, okay? So don't be sad. Anyways, your other aunts are with me right now and we five will have a lot of fun!" I cheerfully exclaimed and I felt relieved when the playful glint on her eyes came back.

I quickly stood up as my knees started to wobble.

"Are we going to play house?" she clasped her hands adorably.

She really looks so cute.

Lisa answered for her and the two started playing with each other, with Jennie and Jisoo unnie occasionally messing with her as we head outside of the airport.

A few fans have seen us and started taking photos.

"Lisa, I love you!"

"You look amazing as always, Rosè!"

"Jennie, you look so beautiful!"

"Jisoo, your bangs are adorable!"

"Rosé, we love you and Jimin!"

My heart almost stopped when I heard the last word of one of our fans.

Jimin

It hasn't been a whole twenty-four hours but I'm starting to long for him.

Can I really survive for six months with this?

As we rode inside our van, my mom stared in my direction and I gave her a smile.

"I'm fine Mom. Jimin and I will be fine." I assured.

But our fans, I know they will be devastated once the article came out.

Without even realizing, a few of our fans started gathering beside our van and as we move farther away from them, I can't help but mutter the words I am unable to tell them.

"I'm sorry..."
