Eyes Closed (Chaelisa)

Chapter 3

Rosé POV

The rehearsals went well today. We are very excited for tomorrow's performance. We can finally see our Blinks.

After rehearsals, Jisoo-unnie went up to me and said "Chaeyoung-ie! We'll celebrate today and you can't skip this."

"Yes unnie. I just wasn't feeling that well yesterday but I'm excited today. Let's eat a ton of good food!" I said while jumping up and down. The though of eating food kept me giddy.

"It's good that you're feeling better. Let's eat lots Rosie." Jennie-unnie hugged me and smiled.

"Unnies don't leave your precious maknae behind!" Lisa chimed.

"I don't think we left our maknae, she's right here beside me." Said Jennie-unnie while pointing at me.

"Yah! Yah! Yah! I'm the maknae Jennie-unnie." Lisa was pouting.

Me and the unnies kept laughing while teasing Lisa.

We headed straight to a Japanese cafe and as usual ordered a lot of food. I was in a really good mood since I'll be able to eat a lot so I was dancing and humming along to the cafe's music. I saw all the members smiling at me so I stopped and asked "Wae-oh? (Why?)"

"You're just too cute. And we're happy seeing you happy. We were worried about you yesterday." quipped Jennie-unnie while Jisoo-unnie and Lisa nodded in agreement.

I was really touched when I heard that. I knew that they really loved me.

"Ehhng, You guys are too cute and sweet. My heart is fluttering right now." I said with a bit of aegyo.

We happily went on our dinner, talking about how excited we are for tomorrow's performance.

Today was a happy day and my heart and stomach was full.

...

We arrived back at the hotel by 9pm. We wanted it to be an early night since we will be performing tomorrow.

"Jennie-unnie don't sleep yet. Let's play first! Come on Chaeng-ah, let's play with them" Lisa put an arm around Jennie-unnie.

"I'll pass, I don't wanna be too tired and noisy. I want to be in my A game tomorrow." I opened the hotel room and waved goodbye to them.

"Good night Chaeyoung-ie, see you tomorrow. Fighting!" Said Jisoo-unnie and Jennie-unnie in unison.

...

I went inside the room and showered. I was thinking about all the things that have been happening lately. I've been feeling all this weird emotions and I couldn't put my finger on it. What are these feelings?

Why did I cry when I sang Eyes Closed? I mean I didn't cry when I was practicing alone and even today I didn't cry. What was different when I cried yesterday? A thought suddenly popped into my head, Lisa's happy face when Jennie-unnie hugged her. I frowned at the thought, why did I suddenly think of them, it has nothing to do with them. I decided not to think about it anymore since I kept drawing a blank as to why I cried yesterday. I just knew for a fact that my heart hurt. An unbearable feeling welled up inside my chest when I was singing Eyes Closed.

I didn't realize I took a long time in the shower. After finishing cleaning myself up, I went to my bed and applied a face mask. I remembered that I've been living with the unnies and Lisa for years now and I treat them as my family. Looking back to the old memories I was stupidly smiling to myself. I missed the old times.

I started singing Officially Missing You, i felt that it was appropriate to what I was feeling right now. Missing my trainee days when everything was hard but fun.
