Chan is in love with....!!

{Days were going smoothly.Now Chan En-Woo(chan) is now the part of their friend circle. Few day before the match—}

Lisa Jennie Seulgi was sitting near the basketball court watching some boys including Jimin and Chan En-Woo doing practice.

After doing practice they came near the girls. Seulgi wiped Jimin's sweat, casually wiping his neck with a towel.

Seulgi:- You will surely win Jimin.

Jimin pulled her near him and said," Sure dear."

A girl named Nayeon came and gave a water bottle to Jimin.

Jimin took the water bottle from her and said,“Thanks dear!”

Nayeon blushed watching Jimin flirting with her with his eyes.

Rosé entered and Chan noticed her. Before he could reach her Chanyeol stepped infront of her.

Chanyeol:- Hey Rosé!!

Rosé:- Hi!

(She was about to leave but Chanyeol held her hand, She tried lightly to free herself from his grip but failed)

Rosé:- What happened!! What do you want??

Chanyeol told her to come with him, He forced her so she went with him.Chanyeol took her to first row.

Jennie:- Why does he always hold her hand like this!!

(She rolled her eyes)

(Chan sat beside Jimin and Seulgi)

Then they all started playing, Rosé was sitting in front and she had bring a water bottle. Irene her neighbour who was in section D came to her and sat beside her.

Rosé:- Unnie! How was your art project??

Irene :- It was good Rosie!! And I have given your name.

Rosé:- Unnie!! You mean(Her eyes widened slowly then she exhaled dramatically) No-ooo!!

Irene:- Rosé you are so good at dancing, Just you are shy!! It's ok I have given my name too and, You will be coming to my house today for practice.

Rosé nodded.Lisa jumped in their conversation and said,“Hi! I think I didn't disturb you.”

Rosé:- Not at all Lisa come!(She shifted making space for her to sit)

Lisa:- I had heard your conversation. Sorry!!

Irene:- It's ok Lisa! Nice to meet you. (She moved her hand forward for a handshake and Lisa was shockingly looking at her and then she did a handshake)

Irene:- Rosé had told me about you and your more friends.

Jennie entered:- Ya I am Jennie.

(They all started chatting, They were laughing and talking but then Irene told them about the dance competition, So Lisa also decided to go but Jennie refused as she and Jisoo were anchors for the basketball match so they were already busy)

Irene:- Okay come to rosé house! And I will pick you from there!!

(Lisa nodded)

Rosé got up, adjusting her sleeves slightly as she stepped forward.

Lisa and Jennie were still talking, completely lost in their own world.

Suddenly—

“Lisa!!”

Someone shouted.

The ball came flying fast—too fast to react.

Rosé didn’t think.

She just moved.

Stepping right in front of Lisa.

For a second, she didn’t even realize what she had done—

But before the ball could reach her—

Chan appeared.

Quick. Precise.

He stepped in front of her, one hand instinctively pulling her slightly back while his other arm took the hit.

Thud.

Lisa froze. “What the—”

Rosé blinked, her breath slightly uneven.

Her eyes went straight to his arm.

“You got hit.”

Chan rotated his wrist once, like checking it, then looked at her.

“You were about to.”

The words were simple.

But the way he said it—calm, almost casual—made it stay.

Rosé didn’t reply immediately.

For a second, she just looked at him… like she was trying to understand him.

Then she looked away first.

“You still got hit.”

Chan’s lips curved slightly.

“If that bothers you,” he leaned just a little closer, voice low but playful,

“you can fix it.”

Rosé paused.

Lisa whispered dramatically to Jennie, “Did he just assign her a task??”

Jennie smirked, “Looks like it.”

Rosé rolled her eyes lightly, but there was a small shift in her expression.

“Wait here.”

And she walked off.

A little distance away—

Seulgi leaned closer to Jimin, her voice soft, almost teasing—

“They look… good together.”

Jimin’s hand tightened around the ball.

Just for a second.

He didn’t look at her.

Didn’t react.

Just bounced the ball once—harder than before—and walked past like nothing reached him.

Seulgi watched him go, a faint smile playing on her lips.

Rosé came back with a small first-aid kit.

“Hand.”

Chan raised an eyebrow. “You’re fast.”

“Don’t talk.”

He gave his arm anyway.

Rosé held his wrist carefully, applying the medicine.

Her touch was light.

Careful.

Not because she had to—

But because she didn’t want to hurt him more.

Chan noticed that.

“You’re this careful with everyone?” he asked, watching her.

Rosé didn’t look up.

“Only when it’s my fault.”

A small pause.

Chan looked at her for a moment longer than needed.

Then smiled faintly.

“Then I don’t mind.”

Lisa coughed loudly, “HELLO???”

Jennie laughed, “Ignore them, continue.”

Rosé glared at them, “Shut up.”

But she didn’t stop.

After finishing, she stepped back.

“There. Done.”

Chan glanced at his arm, then at her.

“Not bad.”

Rosé took the medical kit and was about to leave then a junior girl came while sobbing in tears.

she said,“Can you help me Unnie!”

Rosé quickly put medicine on her wound and gently rubbing her thigh were it was hurting.

She smiled and asked her to relax.

Rosé finished helping the junior, closing the first-aid box again.

“Take care next time,” she said softly.

The girl nodded quickly and left.

Rosé stood up, brushing her hands lightly, then picked up the box.

For a second, she looked around—her eyes moving quickly, almost checking something.

Then without saying much to anyone, she quietly moved toward the side, near the window, like she wanted a little distance.

Not obvious.

But not normal either.

Chan noticed.

His brows furrowed slightly.

It wasn’t fear exactly…

But it wasn’t comfort either.

Like she didn’t want attention.

Like she was avoiding something before it even started.

He watched her for a second longer—

then looked away.

A little later—

Chan walked over to where Jimin, V, and Jungkook were standing.

Jungkook smirked immediately, “Hero entry, huh?”

V added, “Saved two people at once. Impressive.”

Chan rolled his eyes lightly, “It wasn’t that deep.”

Jungkook laughed, “Yeah? Didn’t look like that.”

Chan leaned back casually, hands in his pockets.

“It was just timing.”

V tilted his head, watching him carefully. “You’ve been looking at her a lot for ‘just timing’.”

Chan didn’t reply immediately.

For once—

he didn’t brush it off.

His gaze shifted slightly toward Rosé again, standing near the window, a little distant from everyone.

Then back.

“…She’s different.”

Jungkook smirked wider, “There it is.”

Jimin, standing nearby, heard it but didn’t react much—just took a sip from his drink, like it didn’t concern him.

V raised a brow, “Different how?”

Chan exhaled softly, but there was a small smile now.

“She doesn’t try to get attention… but somehow it stays on her.”

Jungkook nodded, “Hmm… true.”

Chan continued, more quietly this time—

“And she notices things. Small things. Even when she pretends she doesn’t.”

V smirked, “You’ve been observing a lot.”

Chan didn’t deny it.

“…I like that.”

Jungkook grinned, “Oh you don’t just like that.”

Chan looked at him, calm but clear.

“I like her.”

There was a brief silence—

then Jungkook let out a laugh, “That was fast.”

V shook his head, amused, “You’re serious.”

Chan didn’t smile this time.

“Yeah.”

Jimin shifted slightly, finally speaking, but casually—

“Do whatever you want.”

His tone was normal.

Too normal.

Like he didn’t care.

But he didn’t leave either.

Just stayed there.

Listening.

Jungkook leaned closer to Chan, teasing, “Should we tell Yoongi hyung?”

Chan scoffed lightly, “You want me dead?”

V laughed, “He’ll actually hit you.”

Jungkook added, “He treats her like his sister.”

Chan smirked faintly, “Then don’t tell him.”

Right then—

Yoongi walked in.

All of them went quiet instantly.

Jungkook cleared his throat, looking away.

V straightened.

Even Chan looked away like nothing happened.

Yoongi glanced at them once, suspicious but calm.

“What?”

Jungkook shook his head quickly, “Nothing.”

Yoongi narrowed his eyes slightly… but didn’t push further.

And just like that—

the moment ended.

But not really.

Because for Chan—

it had already started. 👀🔥
