Idol Secret Love | Park Chaeyoung x FemReader

Chapter 3: A Comforting Presence

Rosé's Perspective

Life as Rosé was a whirlwind of performances, practice sessions, and public appearances. The idol life had its highs, but it also had its lows. Chaeyoung had experienced countless moments of joy and triumph, but there were days when the weight of her responsibilities felt crushing.

After a grueling rehearsal, she felt emotionally drained. She was sitting in her dimly lit apartment, scrolling through her messages with Reader19. She had come to cherish these conversations as a source of comfort and escape from her demanding schedule.

"Reader19," she typed, her fingers hovering over the keyboard, "I'm feeling down today. It's just one of those days where everything feels heavy, you know?"

She hit send, hoping that talking to Reader would bring some solace to her heart.

Yu's Perspective

Yu received Roseanne's message and immediately felt a pang of concern. She had no idea that the person she was texting was a world-famous idol, so she assumed that Roseanne might be a student facing ordinary problems.

"I'm sorry to hear that you're feeling this way, Roseanne," Yu replied, genuinely wanting to offer comfort. "Is there anything specific bothering you? Sometimes talking about it can help."

Shared Perspective

Rosé hesitated for a moment before typing her reply, grateful for the chance to share her worries with someone who seemed to genuinely care. "It's a mix of things," she confessed. "The pressures of my schedule, the expectations... I sometimes wonder if I'm doing enough or if I'm letting people down."

As she sent the message, Rosé couldn't help but admire Reader19's kindness. It was a stark reminder of why she had created the Roseanne persona in the first place - to connect with someone who saw her beyond the glitz and glamor.

Yu responded, "I understand how that can feel, Roseanne. But remember, you're doing your best, and that's all anyone can ask for. You've achieved so much. On tough days, it helps to focus on the things that bring you joy. What's something that never fails to make you smile?"

Rosé contemplated Reader19's words. She thought about her love for music and performing, about the exhilaration of being on stage and connecting with her fans through song. But there was something else, something she couldn't quite put into words - the comfort she found in her conversations with Reader19.

"You," Roseanne replied, her confession unintentionally revealing more than she intended. "Talking to you always makes me smile, Reader19. You're like a ray of sunshine on cloudy days."

Yu blushed, flattered by the compliment. "I'm glad I can bring a smile to your face, Roseanne. You've brought joy to my life too, even though we've only known each other for a short time. We can be each other's cheerleaders, supporting one another through the ups and downs."

As the weeks passed, Rosie's feelings for Reader19 continued to deepen. She couldn't deny the growing connection, the sense of closeness she felt whenever she spoke to them. It was a feeling she had never experienced before, one that went beyond friendship.

Yu, still unaware of Roseanne's true identity, became Rosie's confidant, a source of comfort and strength during her moments of vulnerability. Chaeyoung's heart was slowly but surely falling for the person behind the screen, and she couldn't help but wonder where this unexpected journey would lead.

Next day

After the turbulent rehearsal, tensions within Blackpink were running high. Chaeyoung knew she had to make amends with her fellow members, especially Lisa, who had expressed her frustration most openly. The pressure of her double life was taking its toll, but she couldn't let it jeopardize her relationships with her bandmates.
