Chapter Thirteen: A Group Dates are Fun

Rosé and Derrick were on a group date with Kylie, Taehyung, Jordyn, Karl, Ye Seul, Victor, Namjoon, Chlöe, Hoseok, and Rebecca at Craig's. Rosé was happy to be out with her friends after a stressful few days of the press tour for Blackpink.

The waiter then returns to the table to take their orders. Kylie orders a bottle of Kings Estate, Pinot Gris, along with the Loaded Baked Potato for the table; all four ladies order an Orecchiette Truffle Bolognese pasta dish.

Karl, Derrick, and Victor orders a Barramundi Piccata. Taehyung and Namjoon order a Rigatoni Alla Vodka pasta, Chlöe and Jordyn order a Spaghetti Squash Primavera, and Hoseok order a Meldman's Honey Truffle Chicken.

They continue with a bit of small talk, the conversation light when Chlöe asks Kylie a question.

"So, Kylie, how did you and Taehyung manage to keep your relationship a secret for so long?" Chlöe asked.

"We just told close family and friends. When we had to meet up, we would wear clothes that we already wore before to throw off the paparazzi," Kylie explained to Chlöe.

"That's a smart idea," Chlöe said.

"And how did you two do it, Rosé?" Kylie asked Rosé.

"Like Kylie and Taehyung, we only told a small group of people about us, but as for going out, we attended events with large groups so no one would pay attention to us, but I think we stayed indoors mostly," Rosé answered.

"Hoseok, I hope you're writing all of this down because we need all the help we can get to keep our relationship private," Rebecca said with a laugh.

Hoseok nodded.

"Same, girl, we need it," Chlöe said as she high fives Rebecca.

Namjoon smiled.

"Aside from Rosé and Derrick, who at this table will be likely to get married next?" Ye Seul asked the group.

"Jordyn and Karl, for sure," Kylie answered.

"Yeah, those two for sure, and I think I could see Hoseok and Rebecca walking down the aisle," Rosé added.

Everyone agreed at the table that those two couples could, for sure, get married next.

"So, how's the wedding planning coming along?" Victor asked, looking at Rosé and Derrick.

"What we are wearing is already being made, and we have flowers picked out. That's about it," Rosé answered.

"We're waiting for the season to be over before we plan anything," Derrick added.

"Honestly, it doesn't matter where you get married; as long as you two prepared, then everything should go smoothly," Jordyn said.

"Yeah, when Tae and I got married, we went to city hall and registered our marriage license, then we had a ceremony with our family and friends at a later date," Kylie said.

"The marriage is bout you two; the wedding is just a party for your family and friends, so don't stress or overthink anything when it comes to wedding planning," Taehyung said.

"Agreed," Victor said.

"I say you guys go get married at city hall then have the wedding ceremony after the season ends," Ye Seul said.

"You think we should do that?" Derrick asked.

"Yeah, you guys want to be married badly, so go for it," Namjoon answered.

Everyone at the table agreed and said, Rosé and Derrick should go for it and get married at city hall.

"Do you want to do it?" Rosé asked.

"You were already my wife the moment I put that ring on your finger," Derrick answered.

"Awe," Namjoon said.

"Let's do it," Rosé said.
