The Pastor's Daughter [BLACKPINK ROSÉ x FemReader]

CHAPTER 2: Cliché Encounters

You are back at the cafe not too far down the road from your church. The streets are bustling with people heading off to their lunch break, most staring down at their phones as they wandered through crowds. The cafe itself is swarming with people coming in and out, both floors almost completely packed - except for a two-seater couch you found that was recently vacated by a couple. You make yourself comfortable, set your things down, and think about getting an iced coffee. This is the eighth time you had come here, and you're hoping to see Roseanne again; honestly not sure if you should refer to her as Roseanne or Chaeyoung. 'Would calling her Chaeyoung be weird since she still hasn't actually given me her name on her own accord?' You still haven't addressed her by her name, and you still haven't had a chance to have a proper conversation with her. Not that you're starting to lose hope or anything, but you really want to be friends with her.

Getting up to order your usual, you're met with a body gently colliding with yours. "Oh- I-I must not have seen you. I'm so sorry!" You quickly smoothen out your outfit; luckily nothing fell or spilt from the collision. You look up quickly, smiling apologetically, and then smiling wider when you see that it's Chaeyoung. "Oh, hi again."

Chaeyoung unconsciously smiles when you recognise her. "No worries, it's my fault." Because in a sense, it was. She was trying to make her presence known to you, but she wasn't sure how she'd do it until you got up and bumped into her anyway. There's a bit of a pause, Chaeyoung looked a little reserved again as she held onto her own arm. "Um... were you just about to go order?"

"Oh, um, yeah! I was just- I mean- I was on my way to do so until I bumped into you. Sorry again..." You give an embarrassed smile, shut your eyes for a moment, kicking yourself. You never stumble over your own words like this. You hear a short giggle escape her lips before she covers her mouth. You open your eyes to look at her, admiring her smiling eyes. From all the times that you've seen her until recently, she'd always been reserved, frowning in some way, and unwilling to stick around unless she absolutely had to.

"Would you like something different or your usual iced coffee with ice cream?" Chaeyoung shyly asks you, hoping she didn't come off too... forward somehow. You're a little shocked, she had only taken your order about three times, but she must've had a keen ear whenever you ordered.

"My usual would be great, thank you..."

"Sit tight. I'll be back with it soon, Y/N." And with that, Chaeyoung walks away. 'Hold on. I've never actually introduced myself to her before.' You pulled out your book and started to read, the question still sticking to your mind during the first few pages. You were almost done with it and really wanted to finish it off today before you met with the girls at the park. 'Only 125 more pages, Y/N. You got this!' You quickly immersed yourself in the world in your hands, not realising Chaeyoung had actually set your drink down in front of you a few minutes later. She noticed how focused you were on your book and didn't want to disturb you and pull you out of it, so she took a mental image of you instead. She wasn't sure why, but she was completely entranced by you. She had met up with Jisoo the other day to catch up on the many years it had been since they last saw each other as children in Korea, and couldn't help but ask about you.

"Okay, now that I've gotten my chicken skewers, tell me. What are you doing in Sydney? I thought you were in Melbourne." Jisoo started picking at her food, drooling at the mere smell of it before stuffing her face completely, making Chaeyoung laugh.

"Yeah, I was. My entire family moved to Sydney about seven years ago because my dad wanted to start a new church here." The two girls were sitting on a bench beneath a tree that was looking out at a beautiful lake. The grass was at the perfect length to sway with the wind, the ripples in the water were something straight out of a meditation that had you feel calm at the sight. The sky was clear with not a single cloud in sight, and the sun was due to set in a couple of hours. There were a few families out having a barbeque, kids running to and from the playground. It was picture perfect, and Chaeyoung couldn't help but think about spending some time with you here. Before she can get any more attached to the idea of you, she had to find out more about you before she hurt herself as she did in the past. But she can do that later; she wanted to catch up with her friend first.
