Break Free

Josh's POV

"Babe, stop worrying. It's only been two days. Besides, Rosie is clever. We all know she can handle herself." I told Samantha as I watch her sad looking face while we video call each other.

She's currently in the US with Jessie as they try to look for her friend Rosie.

I'm not even sure what happened but Rosie runaway. If I can call it that way.

She basically packed a few of her things and left the house.

She did leave a note about not looking for her but her parents were worried so they contacted Samantha and another one of her friends.

Samantha immediately flew straight to America with Jessie accompanying her.

Thank God, Yohan agreed because he and Jessie are supposed to celebrate their anniversary in a few days.

However, the panic look on Samantha's face made Yohan agreed on Jessie's pleading that she accompany her unnie. Besides, Yohan is like Samantha's best friend.

Initially, Samantha wanted to either have me accompany her or her younger brother, Jake but we can't. We have a tour scheduled for the whole two months.

I turned around when I heard the door opening.

I am currently inside our tour bus.

Yes, we have one like of that with that famous boyband and I am so in love with it especially when I saw the kitchen.

At least I would be able to have good food while away from my girlfriend, Samantha.

My brows furrowed when I saw an exhausted looking Jason and Jake.

"Hey, Jake!" I called the man who had basically caused a little trouble earlier.

The whole staff were in panic after they found out that the youngest sneaked out alone after our concert.

And the fact that we are unable to contact him again after his phone call with Jason got disconnected made a huge chaos not only with the members but the whole management.

"Why? What happened to my brother?" Samantha cried in panic after he heard the noise around me consisting of the members scolding him.

Yeah, I almost forgot that I am talking to him.

"Well, Jake sneaked out earlier and he was almost mobbed by some fans." I informed her and Samantha's eyes widen.

Oh God, I miss this girl so much.

"Is he okay? Hey, Josh! I told you to look after my brother!" she started scolding me and I cannot help but chuckle.

She really looks so cute and adorable.

"I am taking care of him. He is our youngest member, of course I'll look out for him." I told her.

My eyes furrowed when I realized that Jake seemed lost as he stares at the space in front of us.

"What's his problem?" I asked Jason but the other just shrugged his shoulders.

"I don't know. He's been like that since I found him. He must be shocked." Jason responded.

"Hey, Jake, where did you get that coat?" Vash asked confused as he stood in front of the youngest but Jake did not even budge from his seat.

In fact, it seems like he did not even hear what Vash said.

"Hey, Jake, are you okay? Are you hurt somewhere?" Haiden asked as he come near Jake.

I looked at him, concerned at how he is acting.

"Hey, Josh, can you show me Jake? I want to make sure he is alright." she asked me and I lifted the laptop from the table and headed straight to Jake.

I sat beside him as I tilt the camera towards his direction.

"Kookie-Hey, are you okay?" I watch as she asks her younger brother. She calls him Kookie.

Sometimes I get so jealous how Samantha can drop me like a potato when it comes to Jake.

I keep on forgetting that he's her younger brother and they just recently made up after a few years of not talking with each other.

However, I know that Samantha loves me. We've been through to a lot for me to be bothered by her unconditional love to her younger brother.

And he's family. You don't get jealous with family.

"Hey, Jeon Jake!!!!"

Jake flinched as he heard the voice of her sister.

Vash snickered from afar while Jason shook his head.

Yohan must he on his bed or maybe talking with Jessie over the phone.

Haiden and Rome were sitting side by side just right across us.

Our managers are still outside. I think they still need to fix some stuff before we head to our next destination.

"Noona!" Jake muttered as his eyes landed on the screen in front of him.

But he still looked shaken up for a bit. I noticed something pink on his right hand.

"What's that?" I asked and he looked down only to be lost in space once again.

"Oh my God. What's with him? And why is he wearing a girl's coat?" she pointed and that's when I noticed.

My nose scrunched when I realized something.

"You indeed smell like a girl Jake. What happened to you out there? Did some girl do something on you?" I asked chuckling but his eyes suddenly widen at my statement.

"Hyung, I think I need to rest." he muttered before standing, heading straight to the back of the bus where our beds are located.

"That shithead did not even bid goodbye to her noona." my eyes widened at Samantha's words.

"I said no more cursing!" I told her and she covered her mouth.

"Oops?"

I shake my head in disappointment but a smile still escaped my lips.

Our bus was situated right across the bus stop. I guess it's already past eleven and there are already few cars on the street.

"Haiden hyung, isn't that Jake's jacket?" My eyes snapped to where Rome is as his body twisted while he stares at the girl across us where the bus stop is.

"Whoa, that's Jake's! Hey, Jason, isn't that Jake's favorite jacket? Vash, come here!" Haiden exclaimed as he stood up calling the other two.

I also stood up curious.

"Was Jake robbed by that girl?" Vash exclaimed and Jason hit him on the shoulder.

"Stupid! Can't you see how skinny that girl looked? How can she even do something to our Kookie?" he stated as a matter of fact.

My attention focused on the girl who is checking something on her hand. It looks like a camera.

The light coming from the lamp post reflecting towards her making her strawberry blonde hair visible.

Why does she look familiar?

"But she looks so pretty." Rome muttered and Haiden swatted his hands away from the window.

"Hey, she might be a killer or stalker. You'll never know." I chuckled when Rome rolled his eyes on him.

"Are you actually checking out some girl while video calling me?" Samantha snickered and I resisted the urge to laugh at her.

Samantha never get jealous.

After I announced to the world that I love her, her confidence boosted really high.

Too bad I can't take back my words because it is true that I love her so much.

"s**t, she saw us staring!" Haiden panic as he moved back ending up tripping on Vash's feet.

Haiden's butt landed on the floor and Jason was doubling with laughter.

When I turned my attention back to the girl, my brows furrowed as I clearly saw her face.

My eyes widen at the realization.

No wonder she looks familiar.

"Samantha, what is the color of Rosie's hair?" I asked in disbelief.

Samantha looked at me confused before rubbing her chin.

"The last time we video called each other, I think it was strawberry blonde. Why?"

My eyes widen at her statement.

I quickly moved the laptop to the window showing the girl outside.

"I can't see anything Josh. What are you doing?" she screamed in frustration and Vash moved a little.

Samantha sometimes is weird and the guys had a trauma before when we lived with her in one roof.

Shoot. What should I do?

I stared back at the girl across us and my eyes widen when I realized that she's starting to walk away.

Without even thinking, I ran towards the door and hop out of the bus. My feet were fast as I run towards her direction.

" Rosie!"

Though unsure if it's really her, I decided to try my luck by calling her name before she walked even further.

I was so sure that's her. I've talked to Samantha a lot of times when she visited her friends in the US and there are few instances when her friends greeted me.

Though it was all so brief, I can still vividly remember how they both looked.

"Rosie!"

I screamed once again and she turned her head towards my direction. She stopped from her tracks when she realized that I'm running towards her.

I was so caught up to chasing her, I didn't notice my manager following.

I was panting when I reached her location, the laptop still on my hands.

I bent a little as I try to catch my breath.

Damn, this girl walks so fast.

"Josh oppa?" she asked and that's when I confirmed I was right.

"Josh, you fucker. What are you doing?" Samantha's angry voice took over.

Still out of breath, I quickly gave the laptop to Rosie.

I swear my eardrums cracked at Samantha's screaming.

"Hey, Rosie!!!!" she was crying.

I looked at the girl in front of me and smiled when I noticed her smiling at Samantha.

But the glint of sadness did not come unnoticed to my sharp eagle eyes.

"Unnie..." she whispered.

"You....did you know we've been looking for you?" she asked.

I saw Rosie hung her head a little. She seemed to be holding her tears.

"You know I can't stay there now unnie." she whispered, her voice shaking.

"I know. But you can't just leave alone. I'll go with you."

I listened as they spoke with each other. I turned to my manager and nodded apologetically.

I'm so glad that Samantha is working for Healing Heart Entertainment and our managers know her.

"I'm fine unnie. You don't need to worry. I can handle myself."

"Do you have any idea where you want to go?" Samantha's voice softens. It is obvious how much she cares for her friend.

"I don't know. I'll go where my feet will lead me."

I heard Samantha sigh.

"Your mom is so worried about you."

Rosie started sniffing.

She's crying.

"I know. But I can't go home now unnie. I really can't." she muttered.

I wonder what happened?

"How about this? The boys are currently in a tour. You can hop on their bus and explore the places while they are doing their concert. You don't have a specific destination anyways, right?"

My eyes went wide open at her statement. I looked at my manager who also looked so confused.

"No. It's fine. I can manage." she said abruptly and I don't know if I should be scared or not. The sound of Samantha's voice earlier was stern. It basically meant she's not taking No for an answer.

But why do I feel like something wrong is about to happen?

"Rosie, you don't have a choice. It's either you get on that f*****g bus or our friendship will be over." she stated and that's when I realized that the discussion is over.

What Samantha wants, Samantha gets.

I've learn about that not long after we started our relationship.

Not that I'm complaining. I will give her the world if I have to.

"Wouldn't I be a bother?" Rosie asked my heart skipped a beat when I heard Samantha call my name.

"Hhmmm?" I asked as Rosie handed back the laptop to me.

Samantha's beautiful face greeted before me. No matter how much she frowns, her beauty is still breathtaking for me.

"Do you have any manager with you right now?" she asked seriously and I knew better not to ask any more questions.

I handed the laptop to my manager before turning to Rosie.

She was looking at the ground as she wipes away her tears.

The girl before me seems so vulnerable. Very far to the happy chipmunk that I first saw on video call.

"Rosie, it's nice to finally see you in person. I'm Josh by the way. Samantha's boyfriend and one part of VOELEVARD." I smiled as I offered my hand on her.

She lifted her face and smiled at me before accepting my handshake.

"It's my pleasure to meet the famous Worldwide handsome Josh, and Samantha unnie's boyfriend."

I chuckled at her words.

"Let's go?" I asked her as I guided her back to our bus, leaving our manager talk with Samantha.

That discussion had been over after Samantha suddenly turned on her work mode earlier.

As we come nearer the bus, my eyes caught the other four members gawking at the window.

I smirked. I wonder how they would react once they find out.

Before we can even hop inside the bus, she stopped abruptly making me halt as well.

"Is there a problem?" I asked.

She looked concerned for a moment before speaking.

"Are you sure it's fine?" she asked and I can't help but smile at her.

"You're Samantha's friend. Of course you're more than welcome to stay with us. Don't worry about it. Besides, it’s dangerous for a girl like you to be outside at this time. And it's getting colder." I told her mustering the sincerest smile I can offer.

She seemed to relax for a moment before hopping on the bus with me.

As soon as we enter, we found Jason, Vash, Haiden and Rome sitting stiffly beside each other.

Soft chuckles escaped my lips.

These guys looked like some idiots.

The door suddenly opened and Yohan came. He looked confused for a moment after seeing Rosie but he just shrugged his shoulders before taking a seat.

Unlike the other four, Yohan seemed relaxed.

"Oh right, this is Park Rosie, Samantha's best friend." I introduced.

Rosie greeted them and bowed.

The boys all stood up bowing while Yohan just nodded.

Before I can even tell anything, the room from behind swung open revealing a half-naked Jeon Jake with just a towel hanging loosely on his waist, a few drops of water dripping down from his body.

"Jason hyung, did you see my bag?" he asked while drying his hair with another towel, not noticing an unfamiliar presence before us.

I gulp. I turned my attention towards the girl and I raised my eyebrows once I realized that he was staring at Jeon Jake like he is some food.

Interesting.

"Ah, Jake ." Jason called our youngest member’s attention, unsure how to proceed.

"Yes?" Just right after he answered, Jake's eyes landed on Rosie's direction and his eyes widen.

When we thought Jake, the ever shy member of Voelevard, will run as fast as a train to hide himself, he did something a little surprising instead.

"You!" he said pointing to the girl, his eyes the widest it has ever been "How can you just walk away like that after kissing me?"

Uh-oh

Haiden gasped loudly.

Rome dropped his phone while Jason and Vash hugged each other in shock.

Yohan straightened his seat finding the scene before him interesting.

I glanced at the girl in front of me and noticed that she is still staring at Jake.

Wow.

"Why? Don't tell me you didn't enjoy it? You were moaning like crazy."

My jaw landed on the floor at her response.

The boys' jaws soon followed.

This is getting really interesting.
