RosĂ© woke up early in the morning due to the excitement of traveling back to LA after the last time she went there for Coachella as a member of Blackpink, but this time she was going as Roseanne Park maybe for work but also for enjoyment. Her excitement couldnât be contained inside her, she was oozing energy, this showed in her step as she was skipping throughout the halls towards the bathroom while humming, filling the dorm with her energy while all the other members were still in Morpheus arms.
After having a shower and getting dressed, she made her way back to her room once again humming, on the way she passed Jennieâs room (her travel mate) and saw that the cat-eyed girl was still sleeping instead of getting ready for their flight. She ventured inside Jennieâs room with an objective in mind waking her up without getting hurt which wasn't an easy task.
She tiptoed thru the room towards the bed, once she reached her destination Rosé proceeded to try and ease Jennie out of her slumber by gently shaking her body, but this proved futile as Jen just turned her body to the other side to avoid the disturbance.
Seeing that being gentle wasnât the answer RosĂ© took out the big guns and started poking Jennie all over her body and repeating over and over âJen wake up. Jen itâs time to riseâ, increasing the volume of her voice with each repetition.
After a couple of minutes of being poked, tickled, and having her ears bleeding by the volume, Jennie decided to wake up to stop the harassment being imparted to her being. âUghâ moaned Jen âStop the harassment Rosie, Iâm already awakeâ mumbled while stretching to get rid of the sleep on her extremities.
By the time the clock marked 9 oâclock both girls were ready and just waiting for their manager to come and pick them up to take them to the airport, their other members were still presumed asleep oblivious to the ruckus caused by RosĂ©âs last-minute preparations for the trip.
The sound of steps kept getting louder coming from the direction of the rooms, soon after two sleepy bodies emerged from the hallway and took a seat beside them on the sofa immediately snuggling against their bodies before breaking the silence that had made its way into the room.
âHey Jendeukie, ChaengâŠâ a yawn interrupted Jisooâs sentence âwhen are you going to leave?â, but the question made Jennie to shake her off her arm and put a pout on her face, âAre you telling me to leave alreadyâ shot back Jen with hurt clear on her words.
Jisoo was quick to reassure her that wasnât the case and cuddle the cat-eyed girl, âIt isnât like that Jen, I just want to know how much time left I have to snuggle with the cutest girl before you have to goâ she finishes her statement with a kiss on her forehead, action which bought a gummy smile on Jennieâs face.
âYouâre such a sap Chu, but theyâre picking us up around 9:45, so we have a bit more than half an hour worth of cuddles leftâ replied Jennie snuggling closer to Jisooâs body letting go a little hum of content but their moment of relaxation was interrupted by a gagging sound coming from their younger friends.
âOh gosh, guys, thereâs innocent eyes present and you are being so X-ratedâ retorted Lisa and covered Chaeâs eyes, the latter reacted by doing the same action to Lisaâs eyes, after a couple of seconds of silence they erupted in laughter making Jennie irritated by their antics, but soon the four were laughing enjoying one of their last moments together for the foreseeable future.
The next 30 minutes flew by so quickly and the four had watery expressions, caused by the departure of half of their team. The younger ones were the most affected, not wanting to let the other go, they had to be pried from each otherâs arms by Jensoo one pulling Lisa into the house and the other pulling RosĂ© towards the elevator.
The ride towards the airport was filled with quiet sobs coming from RosĂ©âs being, Jennie ended up cuddling the aussie in an attempt to calm her down before arriving at the airport so as to not rise gossip from the fans or paparazzi that they would encounter. Fortunately, RosĂ© was able to calm down as they arrived at the airport, but as an extra measure for their security, the girls were escorted privately thru the facilities to avoid all the commotion.
After being checked in they were guided to a private waiting room to rest while the plane was ready for boarding, they decided to spend this time drinking some cold beverages from Starbucks and some light snacks for Chaeng since all the crying drained her energy.
Posterior to having boarded and the plane taking off, both girls proceeded to go back to Morpheus' arms due to the longevity of the flight they had just got into.
Three hours into the flight Jennie woke up thanks to the sound of crying coming from somewhere within the walls of the plane, she adjudicates it to the toddler she saw boarding after them prior because she couldnât do anything she tried to fall back asleep, but her brain registered the cries more thoroughly, recognizing them as coming from the seat beside her more specifically Chaeyoungâs seat.
This realization made her get rid of all the slumber from her body and analyze the situation, getting concerned as her brain finally woke up fully, turning to assess the situation and stop Chaeyoungâs cries. âChae, are you okay? What happened? Why the tears?â utter the Korean girl trying to see if RosĂ© had any visible injuries but the search was null, but this got the Aussieâs attention who still had crocodile tears pouring from her eyes.
Chaeyoung kept sobbing but tried to express the reason for her tears, âU-unnie âam sca-scaredâ said while rubbing at her eyes and plastering a frown on her face, this swamped Jennieâs heart with worry, so she questions as to the why of the fear, âP-panes sca-scady ânnie, no wanna be he-heweâ.
This information was new to the Korean since RosĂ© hadn't mentioned it before on their other flights, the only thing left to do was to comfort her due to her inability to get them off the plane at the moment, so she hugged the Aussie and started rocking both of their bodies side to side while muttering words of comfort âEverythingâs going to be okay Chaeng, nothing bad is going to happen to you while Iâm hereâ.
The only response coming from Chaeyoung was a muffled âPwomise unnie?â followed by more force being put into their embrace as the plane hit some turbulence, âI promise Rosieâ was muttered before a kiss was placed on Chaeyoungâs forehead, melting most of the worry that was suffocating her.
Jennie kept rocking both of them, but a thought kept plaguing her mind, why was Chaeng acting like this all of the sudden, she was quite childlike as much as Lisa but at the moment she resembled more a toddler than a carefree young adult.
Posterior to 40 minutes of reassurance Chaeyoung let go of Jennie and resituated on her seat once again but never letting go of her hold on her unnieâs hand, afraid she was going to disappear magically and leave her all alone on the scary plane where all the mean adults go throw mad expressions her way.
The only reason for Chaeyoung being seated on her own seat was that over the intercoms the crew had announced that it was mealtime, and of course, she canât miss that important time of the trip, which also happened to be the only enjoyable moment of the whole flight so far as she could think of.
The food that was served by the crew appeared so yummy in Chaeyoungâs eyes, they were given bulgogi with rice, dongchimi noodles, and bibimbap, with their choice of drink that could range from imported wine, champagne, cola, water (plain and sparkling) to even some juice. When the kind stewardess came to give them their drinks, she was quick to make her doubts present, âDo you hafâ beew by âny chance?â said Chaeng tilting her head.
âYes Miss, we have different brands, such as: Hite, Terra, Cass, Kloud. Which one would you like?â
Hearing this made Jennie turn her head quickly towards the stewardess and order the drinks for both of them, âMiss can we have some cola for me and a juice for her, please and thank youâ told her Jen with a smile as to not appear even ruder, but of course Chaeng made her discontent know to Jen, âBut unnie I want beew foâ da kimchiâ whined the Aussie while crossing her arms. Trying to reason with Chaeng prove to be harder than imagined, âRoseanne Park, youâve got two choices either juice or cola. Choose one or youâll be drinking water and not having dessertâ she told her, but Chaeyoung wasnât having it and whined again âBeew, I wanâ beewâ wailed while kicking her legs and flailing her arms.
âPark Chaeyoung thatâs enough! This is your last chance, choose either the juice or cola. And apologize to the kind lady for your attitudeâ finished Jennie while providing a look that meant there wasnât any room left for discussion. Sensing that Jennie was serious, she turned to the stewardess and asked for her drink âCan I hafâ a stawbedy juice pwease Miss, and sowwy foâ making a ruckusâ she finished with a small bow to better express her apology.
âItâs all forgiven yeobo, just listen to your Unnie next time, ok?â said sweetly the stewardess while giving them their respective drinks.
âNow behave Chaeng, I donât want to have to scold you again,â told her Jennie while starting to eat the food in front of her, from the corner of her eye she noticed that Chaeng wasnât touching her food but decided to ignore it for the moment in order to eat. When she finished her food, she took notice that RosĂ©âs food was still intact and asked for the reason, ââam not hungwy unnieâ answered with a wavering voice the younger girl. Knowing she was surely lying due to her never saying no to food Jen proceeded to scoop some food from Chaengâs plate and offer it to the girl with a silly voice âThe food train is coming! Next stop Chaengieâs mouth! Choo-chooâ, that made the Aussieâs spirit to lift, so she allowed Jennie to continue feeding her between giggles on account of her unnieâs silliness.
With their food finished and their tummies filled both girls laid back into their seats to relax and digest their food better, the relaxing moment didnât last for long as Chaeyoungâs long-forgotten fear resurfaced due to not having a distraction anymore, luckily her unnie was beside her to keep her grounded and prevent the bad thoughts away. But even if Jennie was beside her the fear was still present and they were barely entering the second third of their flight, many things could happen on the remaining 7 or so hours of the flight and those thoughts would just not leave her alone, fogging everything else.
Jennie sensing that RosĂ© would surely have another crying fit if she didnât do something quick proceeded to grab her and move her into her own seat to have a better grip for a hug in order to calm down the already shaking girl who was just seconds away from letting the waterworks free, in the time that took for RosĂ© to calm down enough to have her full attention Jennie kept thinking in what could they do so she wouldnât have her head on the plane and the scariness this carried with it. The solution she was able to come with was for both of them to watch a movie together. They'd do this while cuddling on her seat so Chaeyoung could have her mind on the movie but at the same time be able to have contact with her body to reduce the stress and anxiety.
âHey Chaengâ called Jennie in a soft voice, âwould you like to watch a movie with unnie? You can choose it and weâll even cuddle while watching it, how does that sound?â she asked while keeping rubbing circles on RosĂ©âs back, whose face and whole body was buried against Jennieâs chest trying to get all the possible contact and warm out of her unnieâs body. Her response came a few seconds later in the form of a tiny nod against her chest and a pair of curious eyes looking at her, she went ahead and reposition both of their bodies with RosĂ© between her legs and her back pressed against her chest. All this so they would be in a comfier position to start their movie watching, once both of them were comfy enough Jennie put play to Chaengâs selection, âBeauty and the Beastâ.
At the last few minutes of the movie Chaeyoung finally lost her battle against sleep, Jennie noticed about halfway that the Aussie was nodding off but kept fighting against it in order to keep watching the movie, once she was sure Chaeng wouldnât wake up if she moved her, she laid her down on the seat and situated herself next to the sleeping girl's body and cuddle her before she too joining her off to dreamland.
They slept throughout the rest of the flight only waking up to have their next meal before the landing of the plane. Once they had arrived at LAX (Los Angeles International Airport) and gather all their things they were taken to their hotel where they proceeded to get cleaned up after the 12+ hour flight they had just experienced. With RosĂ© still acting âtoddlerishâ the ordeal proved to be quite hard for Jennie, who had to get Chaeyoung showered and with clean clothes, before she was able to do it for herself, once it was Jennieâs turn to take a shower Chaeng started acting out again.
âNO âNNIE, NO GO. âTAY WIF ROSIEâ exclaimed the younger girl while tugging at Jennieâs arm towards the bed making her sit down, if it were any other instance she wouldâve indulged RosĂ©, but she felt grimy, tired and really needed the shower to help relieve the stress from the trip so she made a deal with RosĂ© âHey Rosie, how about you choose a movie to watch while I take a shower?â, but the response wasnât the one expected, âNO, no wanna see ânother movie. Wanna be wif unnieâ whined the blonde while making puppy eyes and pouting.
âThe pouty face wonât work this time, Rosie. But how about this, you choose a place to go or activity to do together while I take a shower and the rest of the day, Iâm all yoursâ after getting an exciting positive answer she went to finally take her shower.
When she got out, she found a Rosie jumping from excitement, literally jumping on the bed, who had the amazingest coolest funniest plan for the day, her words not Jennieâs. Apparently, her plan included going to Disneyland to meet all the princesses and eat so much ice cream; she persuaded her to drop the visit to Disneyland under the premise of Lisa and Jisoo, being sad and feeling left out, this amazingly make her agree right away, so they settle for going out for ice cream and a visit to the Disney store instead, as their plan for the day.
The rest of their trip overseas turned out amazing, doing so many different things and meeting lots of amazing people, with Rosie regressing (as Jennie later found out was the right word to describe it) when they were together and had a bit more privacy.
Soon it was already time to get back to Korea, this time with a fully adult RosĂ© due to the anxiety of going back home to Lisa and Jisoo with a new facet of her discovered. Jennie was feeling just like RosĂ©, anxious after what Lisoo could think about this new phase of her and Chaeyoungâs relationship.
The flight back home was both uneventful and smooth, the time seemed to be on double speed because after they knew they were back in Korea waiting to be picked up and taken back to the dorm. The ride back home was the most nerve-wracking of their lives as they were anxious to see their friends once again, once they arrived and got their respective luggage they went to their apartment at a snail pace, trying to postergate their arrival as long as they could.
As soon as Jennie and Rosé put a foot on the threshold the anxiety melted away for the moment, being replaced by excitement at seeing their friends once again after 3 weeks of them being overseas.
âMandu! Pasta! Welcome back to Koreaâ said Jisoo hugging them, but RosĂ© got out from the hug quickly as she felt Lego rub against her leg just as Lisa came forward too, âWelcome back Jenâ said the Thai while giving her a quick hug.
Hearing Lisa speak RosĂ© turned her head quickly in the direction of the voice before yelling âLALISA!â and running towards Lisa, seeing this, Lisa yelled back âCHAEYOUNG!â, getting herself ready for the oncoming hug and posterior jumping from both parties emanating joy at getting their best friend back.
âIt seems they both missed each other a lot donât you think so Jendeuk?â said Jisoo throwing her arm around Jennieâs shoulders, âYeah, there were times where I thought Rosie would die without her buddy. But she seemed to enjoy herself back in LAâ answered Jennie snuggling herself further in Jisooâs embrace.
âNow that you mention it, how was your time there? Did you have lots of fun? And more importantly, did you miss me lots?â smirked Jisoo at the last question, but the response made the anxiety resurface in Jennieâs body, âIt was awesome and well spent our time there, we sure had lots of fun, and of course I missed you lots, who wouldnât miss your cute snores⊠But I need to talk to you about something that happened at the time that we were there. We realized something about one of our younger membersâ expressed Jennie with worry in her voice.
