***R O S É

The first thing I could do to save Chanyeol Oppa from loneliness is to text him random messages and call him on random times according to google and to do that, I need to get his number.. in which I successfully got! Yey~

And now, I am starting to doubt my decision on calling him on 'random' times.

("Hello? Who is this..") because it was Baekhyun Oppa's voice who answer. ("Chipmunk?")

So my name in Chanyeol Oppa's phone is Chipmunk? I bit my lower lip to stifle a smile because his nickname on mine is Yoda.

"H-Hello.." I cleared my throat, suddenly feeling shy because I think I am interrupting their practice or something. "--I'm sorry, I'll just call next time."

I was about to put the call down when I heard Chanyeol Oppa's voice, ("where's my phone??--yahh Baekhyun! Who's calling me? ("Uh.. you're Chipmunk?"--)

Wow.. Baekhyun Oppa's teasing about me to Chanyeol Oppa almost made my lips twitch upward. I heard another muffled sounds of grabbing the phone and then I heard Chanyeol Oppa and his footsteps walking.. maybe away from Baekhyun Oppa.

("Chipmunk.") He called from the other end, ("I'm sorry about that, Baekhyun is often nosy so if he said something--")

I giggle, "Baekhyun Oppa just answered the phone."

("Oppa?")

"Hmm.." I nodded even though he can't see me, "he's older than me right? So I should call him Oppa as well."

("You're voice sounded really cute saying Oppa.") He mumbles that I couldn't quite hear. ("You can call him Baekhyun, and other guys just their name at that..")

"But they are older than me, Yoda. Don't be foolish." I can't help but laugh and heard him sighed deeply.

("Fine. But I am the only one you can call Yoda, okay Chipmunk?")

"You are the only Yoda, Chanyeol Oppa." I answered.

I often called him because I like hearing his voice through the phone and I don't know what to text him if I message him... Late night talks with Chanyeol Oppa, hearing his deep manly voice, seeing his handsome face before I close my eyes to sleep has made my every night wonderful.

I know I am doing this to save him from loneliness but it feels like I too have been lonely all my life until I met him. I think there's a whole new part of me.. that I found ever since I begun to be close to him.

I just don't want to accept that my feelings is escalating quickly.

Even though I know that it's been lingering all along.. it is just beginning to grew stronger than what it felt before.

The day of the most awaited Big Three Company collaboration on SBS Gayo Daejun has come. I really can't believe that this day is finally now!

Wearing a white dress, with my blonde hair curled and my guitar on my lap made me anxious of our upcoming performance. I glance at Chanyeol Oppa who is sitting quite far away from me because Jihyo Unnie is in the middle of the two of us. He looks confident and dashing on his black suit.. I pouted and forgot how to look away from him.

It's like my eyes are magnetic towards Chanyeol Oppa's direction.

And then he also tilted his head to look at me, as soon as our eyes met, he smiled and mouthed. "Angel~"

I gave him a cheeky smile and flip my hair as a respond. "Monster~"

"You can call me monster~" Chanyeol Oppa mouthed again that made me giggle.

And that silly interaction of us help in subsiding my nervousness towards this performance. My Unnies and Lisa are not here because of our busy conflicting schedules for today but they bid me good luck and promise to watch.

Jennie Unnie even extended effort in teaching me her rap line.

I really hope I can give justice to it. I want my members and blinks to be proud of me so I will do my best like the rest of us here.

--and it indeed ended with many people satisfied for our performance. I hugged Jihyo Unnie to congratulate her and she hugged me back.

"Congrats Unnie!"

"We made it, Rosé!"

We giggle at each other and walked towards the backstage as I scan the place to look for Chanyeol Oppa. The spotlight turns black as soon as our performance ended and I even saw Chanyeol Oppa's back retreating to the backstage but then when Sejun Oppa blocked my way to congratulate me, Chanyeol Oppa suddenly disappeared on my sight.

"Maybe he is with his members, Rosé." Jihyo Unnie said.

She gave me a teasing look and I blushed because I didn't even ask her if she saw Chanyeol Oppa but she already knew who I was looking for! Am I that obvious? I can't believe my members are right that I am such a transparent person!

I sighed and give up because I couldn't find Chanyeol Oppa on the backstage, maybe Jihyo Unnie is right that he is with his members.. but I don't have the courage to go towards the exo's waiting room even though that would be a dream come true for my fangirling side.

Jihyo Unnie is with her members now, and Chanyeol Oppa is with Exo. While me? I wished I am with my members too in this moment.. I pouted and just sat on the corner.

[Jisoo Unnie:

You did a great job today Chae<3]

[Lisa-yah:

Waaahhh~ nanananananana~You nailed it Rosééé]

[Jennie:

I'm so proud Rosie-posie, love you!!]

I smiled at all of my members messages, I guess what I searched on google is effective because their messages lessened my sudden loneliness because they are not here with me tonight.

"Want a sandwich?" A staff offered and I thanked her as I accept it.

I'm getting hungry so.. this SBS sandwich would do.  I was watching another performance of a different group when I suddenly choked on my sandwich!

What the--?? I quickly cover my face and good thing no camera caught it!

I know that there are k-pop idols who this thing.. putting paper inside the sandwich with their number on it but I didn't expect it to be on my sandwich!

[Hi! I am awed by your performanceYou are so pretty, please save my number?

-Jungkook, BTS09******###]

My eyes widened because of that.

"Looks like you've got yourself an admirer there.. Chipmunk."

My attention was torn out of the little paper as I look up at Chanyeol Oppa who raises his brow at me with a small taunting smirk on his face. He sat beside me and gave me a bottled water.

I look around and when I realize that we are on the far and dark side of the arena, with no camera.. I grew comfortable and thanked him as I drank on the water.

"I was looking for you.." I told him.

Chanyeol Oppa nodded and stared at me. My face heated as I look away. His stares literally makes all the foods inside my stomach go alive and raised chaos on my entire system!

"So who is that?" He asked after a while and that made me remember the paper.

I looked at it again and read it. "Jungkook.. of BTS?"

I don't really know who it is because I am not interested in other boy groups, I am loyal to EXO.

"Would you.." Chanyeol Oppa cleared his throat, he is almost pouting and I am getting amused by his reaction, "text him?"

What a cute giant he is~

"Maybe..?" I teased him. "I don't know.. but he is an idol so I think he is hot? Don't you think I should give this a try? Hehe.."

"I am an idol too.." I don't know if I heard that right!

"Well.. you shouldn't date a person just because he is hot Chipmunk."

"Then what should I date him for?" I probed.

This side of Chanyeol Oppa is quite entertaining. I like that he is almost pouting, his eyebrows twitching, and how his face would wince but then he tried so hard to conceal it.

"You should date him because you like him." He said.

"But in order to like a person, you should date him. Isn't dating like giving a chance for the other person to prove to you that he is worth liking?" I argued.

His mouth agape, ready to rebute my words and I raised my brow to challenge him. He closed his mouth again and look away.

"Then.. you should date him."

I hummed and grin at Chanyeol Oppa who looks like he has been beaten in a word of wisdom battle. I know he is competitive and I like that about him but it is really fun to tease him, a giant man started acting cute like a child!

I crumpled the paper and stood up to threw it on the trashcan on the corner. I smiled at Chanyeol Oppa who watched me as I walked back to him.

"But it's not like I am going to like him if ever I will date him so I won't." I shrugged my shoulder.

Because how could I like someone else if my heart is already stolen by this giant beside me?
