🌹 — ROSES is the first KOREAN LANGUAGE full album by LEE JANG-MI, released on august 9th, 2019 by YG ENTERTAINMENT. it consists of TWELVE tracks, including the title track “BELLA DONNA.” released to much acclaim and commercial success, the album was seen as one of the best debuts in the industry, and it was the MOST SUCCESSFUL debut album by a female soloist under YG in south korea until the release of ME in 2023. however, it remains the most successful debut album by a soloist under YG internationally.

🌹 — TRACK LISTING !

SHE ! PRE-RELEASE SINGLE

BELLA DONNA ! LEAD SINGLE

ROUGE ! B-SIDE

ANYTHING BUT

GOING, GOING, GONE

LIKE THAT

DIFFERENT

UP THE WALL / 벽 위로

BY THE PHONE (AGAIN) / 다시

ROLL

YOU AND I

SAY THE WORD

🌹 — COMMERCIAL PERFORMANCE !

once pre-orders for ROSES began shortly after the release of “SHE,” the album was quick to sell. within the first week, it surpassed 700,000 pre-orders. within two weeks, it cracked a MILLION pre-orders, becoming the first album by a female soloist to reach such a milestone

“SHE” itself was just as much of a success. it debuted atop the SPOTIFY daily chart, and with over 200,000 units sold, it debuted at number one on the BILLBOARD HOT 100, becoming the first korean language track by a female soloist to top the chart. to JANG-MI’s surprise, it also topped the GAON chart, and won FOUR music show awards. the song remained atop the BILLBOARD chart for FOUR consecutive weeks, while it remained atop the GAON chart for THREE

ROSES saw further success upon its release. within its first week, it sold over 1.5 MILLION copies worldwide, becoming the highest selling album by a female k-pop soloist until it was surpassed four years later. it topped the BILLBOARD 200 with over 300,000 units sold, and also topped charts in japan, the united kingdom, france, germany, the netherlands, australia, and the the philippines. as of 2023, ROSES has sold over 7 MILLION copies worldwide

the album’s lead single “BELLA DONNA” managed to surpass the success seen by “SHE.” with a little over 300,000 units sold, it topped the BILLBOARD HOT 100, remaining there for a staggering SIX weeks. it topped charts in countless other countries, including south korea, where it debuted atop the GAON chart and remained there for FOUR weeks. it became the MOST STREAMED track on SPOTIFY within its first twenty-four hours, and would end up winning NINE music show awards, including a TRIPLE CROWN on M COUNTDOWN

following the release of “ROUGE” as a single, it was quick to replace “BELLA DONNA” on the charts. remaining atop the BILLBOARD HOT 100 chart for THREE weeks and atop the GAON chart for TWO, it won TWO music show awards. it fell into the top ten after its tenure on the charts, but after gaining traction on tiktok, the track rose to a surprising number two on the BILLBOARD chart. additionally, upon the album’s release, every track on it ended up occupying a spot on the ITUNES chart. it also garnered numerous awards at end of the year award shows, including ALBUM OF THE YEAR at the MAMAs

🌹 — CRITICAL RECEPTION !

as expected, ROSES was met with immense critical acclaim. like JANG-MI’s previous works, this album saw the most praise for her vocal performance and lyricism, as well as for the album’s production. as most of the tracks were written, composed, and produced by JANG-MI, many critics claimed that it added to the album’s more personal subject matter when it called for it, making it much more “raw”

receiving a 90 on METACRITIC, this album became one of JANG-MI’s most critically acclaimed albums to date. critics and fans alike fell in love with the richness of its production, as well as for the nuances in her lyrics and the more “gothic”and elegant concept in an industry where girl crush was becoming the norm. many claim that a standout track is “ROUGE,” as its production is a “feast for the ears,” and the lyrics discussing a toxic, failed relationship are some of JANG-MI’s best. other favorites include the pre-release track and the lead single, as well as “ANYTHING BUT,” “LIKE THAT,” “UP THE WALL,” “BY THE PHONE (AGAIN),” and “SAY THE WORD.” the use of R&B in the tracks is seen as one of JANG-MI’s signatures, and the public was pleased to see that it was utilized in her first korean album in addition to more traditional sounding pop

the last track is especially a favorite, as it’s more vocal heavy ballad that was written and composed by JANG-MI in a mere thirty minutes. it discusses the feeling of abandonment, desire to be loved, and confusion that she hadn’t been able to shake for over two decades, which came with the sudden experience of being ripped away from her biological parents before she even got to meet them. critics constantly praised this track, calling it the rawest and most personal one on ROSES

the public ate up this album, claiming it was one of the best debuts in the industry and expressing astonishment that such rich, nuanced production came from YG, especially in its more recent years. although TEDDY PARK handled a lot of the album’s production (alongside MOONSHOT and SHINSADONG TIGER), JANG-MI had complete control over the creative direction, composition, arrangement, and she would constantly give her two cents while in the studio, which explains the album’s depth and diversity. by the end of the year, ROSES was listed on the rankings of many publications and was lauded across the world

🌹 — STYLING !

the styling was so distinct this era, but still very cohesive !

there were flowy fabrics and lighter colors used for “SHE,” shades of red and flower motifs for “BELLA DONNA,” and lace + gothic elements for “ROUGE” ! there was also some corsets used here and there, especially from vivienne westwood

a lot of mirror palais and dior used too sjiwjs like yg went all out for her !

her makeup was very put together for “SHE” and “BELLA DONNA,” featuring soft eyeshadow in shades of pink, red, silver, or white. there were lots of sparkles used, as well as pearls, bows, or flowers around her eyes ! there was this one stage where a lot of pink blush was used on her cheeks, and for “BELLA DONNA,” her signature was red lipstick !

the makeup for “ROUGE” was dark all over, with heavy, smudged eyeliner and colors such as dark purple, dark red, and black. the sparkles were more minimal, but rhinestones were used around JANG-MI’s eyes, and sometimes, her mascara would be done in a way to make it look like she’d been crying ! there were crosses painted around her eyes, broken hearts painted on her cheeks, the whole nine yards !

the styling for her music videos was also insane ! it was so princess like for “SHE,” with lots of florals, corsets, and dresses used ! “BELLA DONNA,” of course, had a lot of cut outs, rose motifs, and shades of red, while “ROUGE” was a combination of the two !

the budget was crazy too bc there was archive mugler, vivienne westwood, dior, and chanel all over the place ! and ofc, JANG-MI had a hand in the styling, as well, bc she put together over twenty outfits for her music videos !

the fashion girlies were eating her looks up, though ! like she truly looked incredible

🌹 — ERA HIGHLIGHTS !

although she was exhausted due to release of her english album earlier in the year, jang-mi had so much fun during this era !

prior to the album’s release, some pretty unique teasers were released !

we got four posters that looked like they were ripped straight out of a vogue editorial, two concept videos (titled “ROSA” + “SPINA”), a moving poster (!!), and a highlight medley in the form of live performances !

the music video teasers were also incredible bc they truly looked like a movie

now buckle up bc a lot happened after the album’s release sjhdjdk

thirty minutes before the release of “BELLA DONNA,” there was a countdown livestream held, and it was so funny bc her staff intentionally chose questions that would annoy her sjiwjsjsk

they even chose questions that she answered already and jang-mi was yelling her head off ! she was tired y’all

at the end, she was asked to give a spoiler, and she almost danced to the entire chorus of her song BSMSJD her staff were all “that’s too much !” and jang-mi was sitting there cheesing

had to get her revenge !

following the music video’s release (which got 70 MILLION views within its first twenty-four hours !), jang-mi was everywhere !

all over korean television, doing a thousand magazine interviews (her puppy interview with buzzfeed is a fan favorite always !), appearing on radio shows, and she even got herself a lil vogue korea cover !

her running man episode was so good ! she was absolutely hilarious, and all the yelling she did gave knetz a new meme sjdksh

she was also on when mom’s asleep ! the promo was serious !

and oh her showcase, y’all,, jang-mi had a crowd of 30,000 at gocheok sky dome,, that many people for a SHOWCASE !

it was fun and it was your typical showcase, but then she found out that her family and her boyfriend came,, oh girl she cried like a baby,, and reportedly, they all took a picture backstage, but we simply never got it

jang-mi wants to protect the identities of her family, and that’s okay !

afterwards, we got a lil live performance on youtube ! it was like tiny desk but not really, and oooo girl that video went so viral

we know jang-mi can sing, but she hit a whistle note during “UP THE WALL” and practically parted the red sea

the band renditions were also so good ! till this day, fans are still begging yg for a live album skjdkdj

at the end of the year, she was a headliner at new year’s rockin’ eve ! she hadn’t been since 2016, so ny rosies were thrilled

girl the labelmate support was strong !

jang-mi was making tiktoks with blackpink almost every day ! when she did the #RougeChallenge (which was HUGE) with lisa the world truly stopped

and girl she and jennie became THEE duo in kpop that year ! just two mothers mothering like

the girls even showed up to jang-mi’s showcase !

and it was too sweet bc they literally trained together ! like at that point they hadn’t seen each other in four YEARS, and then they literally reunited after they both found success like how prophetic is that !

those girls were jang-mi’s best friends when she was a trainee like </3 the reunion was everything truly

and omg the jangtan interactions !

they were crossing paths all over the place like skhwjdjd and they already met during the amas in 2017 so ! they were sat next to each other at award shows, they took pictures at new year’s rockin’ eve, and their tiktok pages were FULL of each other for a good two weeks MSNKJSJS

and she and namjoon clicked ! they were discussing literature every time they saw each other

jang-mi also had a few japanese promos ! she was on the cover of vivi (with a lil rockstar concept going on !), and ofc, she was also all over japanese tv skiwjsj held an album press conference there, too !

all in all, an incredible debut ! jang-mi had to rest for the next 5 years, but the public loved her and she truly made waves <33

Send a 🌹 + a type of flower(s) and Aphrodite will deliver a bouquet of flowers to the muse of your choice!

Mmm, can I… would it be okay if I did two? Doom hasn’t celebrated before and he doesn’t really know but… maybe a bouquet of roses and some pie? He likes apple pie I’ve noticed…

And Alpha, he might be busy or working but… well maybe just a small bouquet of pretty flowers for him. I’ll… I have a gift for him to drop off too!

— Jangmi @clubwnderland

Aphrodite nodded quickly with a smile as she wrote out the woman’s request. “Of course doll!~ You can ask for as many as you like.” She smiles with a small chuckle at her words. “I can ask Di to make you an apple pie as well, he’ll gladly make you one. He’s a much better baker than me.” She snorts a little. “Just roses for that one? Do you want a little card with it too?”

She nodded her head writing down the rest. “I’m assuming you’ll like me to deliver both to each or would you like me to deliver them to you and you give them yourself?” She hums before looking up and smiling. “Any flowers this Alpha of yours likes? Or any message you’ll like to give with them?”

[★] 𝐉𝐀𝐍𝐆𝐌𝐈’𝐬 𝐅𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲.

| layouts are made by twice-jangmii

— father

— name : yang jin-seo

— birthdate : january 17, 1976

— nicknames : appa , daddy , pa ; annie, jj, sunshine

— contact name : dad 💗 ; My Sunshine!

| since birth, jangmi was always a daddy’s girl. she was always beside him, wherever he went. he taught her almost everything she knows to this day. whether it be about the world, life, basic school education.

| as a kid— and even now— she spent a lot of time with him in the kitchen. they always cooked together and he taught her all of his secrets and tricks. sometimes she’d stay inside when her siblings went outside to play.

| her father was once a gym fanatic and most of the time, he’d take jangmi with him. she just looked at the equipment, sometimes running her hand across certain things out of curiosity.

| when her dad left for the military when she was about 5, she was devastated. before he left, he gifted her a beige wool blanket that smelled just like him, for when she couldn’t sleep.

| whenever he got off from work, no matter how tired he was, he’d take jangmi and her siblings for a stroll in a quiet side of San Diego. sometimes they’d stop and get ice cream or funnel cakes. he’s a family man so he’d often surprise them with trips to different states or even countries.

— mother

— name : kimberly “kim” elena jane-yang

— birthdate : july 26, 1977

— nicknames : mama, mommy ; annie, jinseo jr.

— contact name : Mom ❤️ ; JINSEO JR. 🌹

| jangmi may be a daddy’s girl, but she’s still very close with her mom. they’re still in touch just like they used to be when she was younger.

| just how jangmi cooked with her dad, she baked with her mom. they even used to sell some of their goodies and eventually made a little bakery down the block from their home. jangmi would go home and work at the bakery after school. it was called ‘kimmie rose’s goods’ — named after jangmi and her mom (jangmi = rose)

| jangmi’s mom was a actress and model before she was born, so she’d often go to work with her and was exposed to the industry at a young age. everyone on set of whatever movie her mother was in fell in love with her. they would always bring goods whenever she came.

| jangmi and her siblings often played with the props that were on set. she used to play in her mother’s makeup— which would cause her mom to freak but she also couldn’t help but snap pictures of jangmi with the lipstick all over her lips and blue eyeshadow messily drawn on her eyelids.

— sister

— name : alexandra amora yang

— korean name : yang ha-eun

— birthdate : june 13, 1997

— nicknames : alex, lexi ; anna, pabo

— contact name : Lexi ✌︎︎ ; Pabo ❣︎

| jangmi and alex have been close since she was born. at first alex was scared because she had another sibling but she got used to it, just like when their brother was born.

| alex used to allow jangmi to play in her makeup after attempting to fight with her about it. after her mom explained that as a kid , she was bound to get in it, alex finally allowed it.

| whenever jangmi goes back home or alex visits korea, they always end up doing some type of dance cover whether it be kpop or freestyling together.

| alex befriended twice when her sister debuted and they usually have mall dates with some of the members when alex visits.

| alex has always been very protective over jangmi because she’s the youngest and that’s just how she is with her family. she doesn’t let anyone trash talk them or anything. and she’s always been supportive of jangmi, especially when she debuted.

— brother

— name : adrian amyas yang

— korean name : yang jae-jun

— birthdate : september 29, 1999

— nicknames : ian, aj ; boo, annie

— contact name : AJ ✪ ; boo❣️

| just like alex and jangmi, adrian and jangmi have always been close. maybe a little closer than her and her sister. when she was born, he was still really young but he was so excited to have another sibling. he shared everything with her— his toys, food, etc.

| when jangmi was about 3, her and adrian dressed as boo and sully from monsters inc. for halloween, which is where he got her nickname. and cause she’d follow him around and was much shorter than him.

| jangmi’s favorite memory is when her family visited australia and adrian taught her how to swim. she actually almost drowned that day but it’s her favorite memory because her brother was able to swim up to her just in time. she continued to cry out of fear but after that, he held her for the rest of the time that they were at the beach. it’s also where she met skz’s felix!

| her brother has a platform with his friends and is in nsb (north star boys) so he’s very known. a lot of onces didn’t know she had a brother at first but when they figured out, they gushed over him. he’s always receiving compliments from his sister’s fandom which makes her happy but also cringe at the same time.

‘annie, can i be adrian’s dog???’

‘O.o what-‘

Chenle, dying of laughter: You did NOT. D’you think she could tell the 马 from 嬷?

Lily: Wouldn’t be surprised if she didn’t, that old horse-face.

Jangmi, to Kun: What’s happening? Why are they laughing like that?

Kun: You should just go inside. It only gets worse from here.

Hi dear¡! ♡

Can I request the reaction of Youngbin, Zuho and Hwiyoung when they notice that s / n (girlfriend) is not wearing a bra under the coat and they feel needy when they realize it? Please?

[Sorry for my English]

- Jangmi 🌹

Youngbin: He would probably notice it when you guys making out on the sofa. He could be surprised but turn on. He'll smirk without breaking the kiss. “Not wearing bra, huh? You know what turns me on”. Then he would move his hands to your hips and start moving on his lap. Before that, he’ll probably take off your shirt and throw it to the side. He’ll moan and tell you how good you look without bra.

Zuho: He’s a bougie man. He could notice it on the business party where he decided to take you because you beg him so much. He’s also so busy to look what you gonna wear for a party. He would finally notice it when you would sit just in front of him. He’ll get a little bit nervous because that's so wrong to get horny at a business party. He won’t probably take long to excuse people who were there and take you to the bathroom to fuck you rough in front of mirror.

Hwiyoung: This could happen when you’ll visiting him at night practice in the company. He’ll be alone and you just want to spend some time with your boyfriend. That's not your fault that you grinding on his dick on the practice floor. He’ll flip you and move to take your shirt off and could see family view on your boobs. He’ll definitely smirk and get even hornier than before. He would come from behind you and start fingering you in front of practice mirror.

thank you so much for first request 🫂💗

Wonder with Jangmi — @clubwnderland

[WONDER]: unable to comprehend how incredible the receiver is, the sender decides to simply cup their face in their hands and marvel at them instead.

Haneul giggles quietly and blushes when Jangmi cups her face with her warm, soft hands, "whatcha doing Mimi?" Haneul asks her quietly to not disturb the quietness of the moment.

Hello Darling!

How do you think SF9 would be when being friends with benefits?

- Jangmi 🌹

hmmm

I hope this is what u meant!

Youngbin-I think he’d be down to have a friends with benefit if there’s a mutual attraction and if he feels good in your company. Like it’s not just the sex and that’s it, but also random talks, often getting food together, basically just friendly things. I don’t think he’d contact you on a daily basis and although the relationship is still very friendly and not entirely about sex, but when you contact eachother it’s usually for those obvious reasons. A lot of aftercare.

Inseong- I think he’d be a friend. Like, a fwb to him would be A FRIEND **with benefits**, so first and foremost you will have a friendship and probably connect through the same humour. There is zero embarrassment between the two or you and he’d be completely fine with the both of you seeing other people yet still keeping in touch (as friends).

Jaeyoon- to be quite honest I don’t think Jaeyoon is the type to have a fwb, I think he’s more of the type of serious relationship or just one night stands no inbetween. I honestly think if you were to be friends with benefit he would limit the friendship to a certain level but still be friendly.

Dawon- I’m confident he could maintain a good fwb relationship without developing any feelings and managing to have the best times. With him it would feel like as if you were a couple or dating, because you’d be friends and he’d be super open about everything and shows you sides he doesn’t rly show others, yet without the romantic love. So basically just hanging out, doing fun things, getting drinks, and having sex whenever you felt like it.

Rowoon- he seems like a busy guy that can’t maintain a relationship due to lack of time so I think he’d be down to be fwb but he’d be very picky about who. (ex. someone who respects him, someone he’s attracted to, and someone he doesn’t have many mutual connections with or any at all). He’s quite secretive about his love life so unless you had an apartment with no roommates he would end up booking hotel rooms.

Zuho- I think quite similar to Sanghyuk and Inseong, but in a more laid back chill way? Being fwb with him would mean chilling whenever and keeping up with eachother, having deep talks and having sex here and there. Unlike other members I don’t see him as someone who would hide your friendship and would introduce you to his friends.

Taeyang- yeah I don’t think he can do it without developing feelings and getting frustrated in the end so he would rather avoid it and I think he connects intimacy with romantic feelings, like it comes together for him. But if he were to have a fwb it would be someone who he trusted and respected (and vice versa), someone who would let him make them feel good and someone who would want to make him feel good. Basically, someone who craved sexual intimacy and nothing more. Lots of aftercare, would check up on you every now and then, would care about you but doesn’t want to be too close in order to avoid developing feelings

Hwiyoung- I don’t see him looking for a fwb because he would feel embarrassed being “normal” friends with the person he has sexual relationship with. I think he feels more comfortable where he feels loved. Same as taeyang, he wants to avoid unrequited love,so maybe this isn’t really for him. I think if he were to have a fwb he would be a little embarrassed about establishing it at first and would need a lot of reassurance about you wanting the same thing. I think he would be friends with you and have very deep and intellectual talks with you. Basically like a close intelligent friend + sex.

Chani- I think he’s similar to Rowoon, and I think having a fwb helps him grow his confidence in bed. I think he would like it to be someone he knows and communicates with. I think he’s opinionated and would want to try various things and wouldn’t mind voicing it. He would consider this person to be a friend and treat them as a friend as well, but the sexual relationship is something that stays between them two only

Rose

Seulgi X Taeyong

bonus part for You Are My Queen in celebration of SeulYong's duet Rose🌹

Seulgi loved to walk through the castle rose garden. It was her favourite out of the others in the castle, she would just sit around and admire the different coloured roses planted by Taeyong's mother, sometimes even pick out some to decorate their bedroom.

This was one thing she noticed was different between her and her King husband when they first met. During the time they'd spent together, before Taeyong had confessed that is, she'd walk him through the gardens and talk about the flowers to help distract his mind. Though now she realised he never actually listened to whatever she said, he was only distracted thanks to her voice, another thing that had attracted him to her.

And now after a year since their wedding, he still had no interest in the flowers. He'd only smile seeing her happily decorate roses around their bedroom, and only used them for their petals when he wanted to have a romantic night with her (bath or bed didn't matter).

They sat in the garden, Seulgi sitting against a tree reading a book while Taeyong laid his head on her lap relaxed, eyes closed while he listened to his wife's soothing humm, a habit she had when reading in full concentration. It was practically a scene taken from a fairytale, just so calm and peaceful, unrealistic for a King to be able to live in.

"Can we name our baby Jangmi?"

Taeyong's eyes opened in a split second and he immediately turned his head to look at her tummy. Seulgi laughed hard at his sudden reaction and hit his arm lightly. "I'm not pregnant yet. I mean in the future, I want to name our baby girl Jangmi."

Taeyong sighed and laid back relaxed, his heart beat slowly going down to normal. "Well that was a little disappointing, I thought you really were and got excited." he pouted before looking at his wife, who was clearly waiting for an answer. He smiled and took her free hand, laying kisses on the back. "I'll love whatever name you give our children. It's your choice entirely, as long as it's not some odd name. Then I should have veto power." the two chuckled before he closed his eyes again, laying her hand over them as extra shade.

Seulgi closed up her book and set it aside, and leaned against the tree relaxing herself as she took in the view of the roses around them. "They're so beautiful..." she mumbled softly, her free hand combing through her husband's hair. Taeyong heard her soft words, an idea coming to his mind immediately as he hid his smirk.

I'll do anything for you my love...

It took only a week and half to finish up the planning. He was the King after all, and even though he never took advantage of his power for selfish uses, Taeyong would have the whole kingdom on their toes if it came to Seulgi. She came first before anything, even if it meant letting go of his position (which she'd never let him do) he'd do it.

And this time the people were shocked to hear the odd request from the King.

"You all have 10 days to prepare a ball, it must be rose themed."

The news spread and immediately everyone was rushing. Taeyong wasn't cruel though, he wouldn't have done such a request if roses were hard to find or not in bloom this season. But they were which made it a lot easier for the people to work and get things done quickly. Seulgi had no clue, and in the afternoon of the day of the event Sooyoung had suddenly appeared with a dress for her.

"But what's the occasion? Why are you making me wear this?"

"Just trust me. We have five hours to get ready, so eat first then we'll start on the hair and makeup for you. Ladies!"

Three maids appeared, one with the two friends lunch, one with a bag of necessities to help get ready, and the other holding the dress Sooyoung brought. They first ate, then got to work right away in getting Seulgi done up perfectly, and after couple of hours they finished it off with a rose headpiece.

"Great! Move along now, and tell the King we're ready and will be down in a bit." Sooyoung instructed and the maids left after bowing.

"Well," Sooyoung turned to see Seulgi standing with her hand on her hips, "will you tell me now what I'm doing like this?" the Queen asked, Sooyoung simply chuckling to herself.

"Just trust me, your highness." she mocked making Seulgi scoff.

They were soon heading down, and Seulgi noticed them going towards the ballroom. It was quiet throughout the hallway that they walked, until they reached the doors of the ballroom and she could hear soft voices murmuring. Turning around she suddenly noticed Sooyoung was no longer with her, raising her confusion even more until she heard the royal announcer's voice loud and clear from the other side of the door.

"Her highness Queen Seulgi has arrived!"

She turned back to the doors as they slowly opened, and could not believe what came before her. Roses. Everywhere. They decorated the upper railings of the ballroom, the other doors around, bouquets at every corner, even on the chandelier. Still processing the sight, she felt a finger push her chin, closing her mouth.

"You'll catch flies love." she heard her husband chuckle as his hands wrapped around her waist from behind, head on her shoulder. "Do you love it?" Taeyong whispered, and only then did she realise there were people in the ballroom too, everyone dressed in colourful rose themed outfits. She peeked behind at him and noticed they were the only ones in red, while other couples matched their own colours too.

Seulgi was in awe. Sure she's seen many roses in the gardens, but this was completely new to her. Pushing his arms off, she turned around and stared at her husband with gleaming eyes. "What's going on?"

Taeyong could only chuckle at her innocence, another one of her attractions he loved. He took her hands and kissed them before putting them on his shoulders as his returned to her her waist.

"I wanted to give you a party. Besides," he leaned into her ear, "it's your birthday."

Seulgi's eyes widened, her hands flying to her mouth as she gasped. She completely forgot her own birthday, and it didn't even occur to her once when she was suspicious of Sooyoung's antics earlier.

Taeyong laughed. "You forgot!" And it was clearly loud enough for the rest of their guests to hear and laugh along. Embarrassed she hit his chest, but he simply grabbed her hands and pulled her into a kiss. Seulgi obviously kissed back, she could never not. They heard some cheers from her friends, pulling away much later. "That was my second gift." he whispered pecking her lips once more.

"How many are there?" Seulgi asked cocking her head.

"Never enough to show how much I love you."

The party began, first with dinner for everyone. Taeyong had invited just his family, her's and their friends, not wanting to make it seem too impersonal. As they finished eating, the cake was brought in, and Seulgi seeing the rose decorations used. But she became soft hearted as the chef announced that it was actually Taeyong himself who made the cake from scratch and looked at him with teary eyes.

Taeyong chuckled again and wiped off a year before it could trail down her cheek. "Now is not the day to cry my queen. Go cut the cake, and we'll dance after."

They did exactly what he said. Soft music played as the chef took the cake away after Seulgi blew the candles and cut a slice. He'd bring it back later for dessert anyways. Servants cleared out space, and all the couples were soon out ballroom dancing.

The royal couple were in the center, Seulgi's hands wrapped around Taeyong's neck while his wrapped around her waist holding her close possessively, a cute manner of his she'd never find a disturbance. The two could only smile as they moved around with small steps, wanting to savour every moment of the night. Seulgi felt so happy, and not just because of the party, but for having Taeyong in her life as here husband. Sure being King and Queen had a toll on her especially since she was never born into this life, but she'd never regret this, she wouldn't want it any other way.

"I have one more surprise for you." Taeyong whispered causing her to chuckle.

"What?"

"You'll see, it'll take a while, but it'll be yours completely."

Seulgi sighed and shook her head as a joke, suddenly leaning her head against his chest as they kept dancing smoothly. "What will I do with you?"

Taeyong laughed and held her tighter. "You'll never stop me from showering you with love. And I give you no permission to leave me, ever."

A smiled fell on Seulgi's lips as she remembered something she hoped he'd love. He would, she had no doubt, but she didn't know when would have been the right time to let him know.

Now seemed like the perfect opportunity.

She pulled out from his chest and looked at him, their eyes locked as she smiled shyly. "How can I leave the father of my child?"

They stopped dancing, Taeyong's legs coming to a halt as she felt his body freeze, eyes wide in shock. "You... Didn't you say you we- weren't?" he stuttered.

"Well yes, I didn't know I was back then. But it turns out I am... I found out yesterday."

There was silence, except for the soft orchestra music and the feet of others dancing, the couple stared at each other quietly. And for once Seulgi couldn't read through her husband.

"Yo- You're pregnant?"

She nodded.

"YOU'RE PREGNANT!" Seulgi felt herself lifted off the ground, hands clutching Taeyong's shoulders tight scared. "I'M GOING TO BE A FATHER!" he screamed as he spun her around in air.

Seulgi was right, he was happy. Beyond happy. Taeyong had wanted a child for weeks now, but he could never being it up her because he felt like he was sticking another burden onto her. He always felt guilty for making her become a Queen when she had no plans to, and despite their love, he knew she didn't want this life. That's why he promised himself to give her everything he has to offer, and never push her into anything he wants that would require her to work on.

That included a baby. He knew it would take a toll on her health and lifestyle to be pregnant and become a mother, he knew he won't always be around with how busy his life is, so he told himself to wait how ever long it took for her to want a baby.

Of course with his screaming all the attention now fell on them, cheers erupting as the crowd made out what Taeyong was so ecstatic about. He finally placed his wife down and held her to help her balance as she wobbled a bit, still in shock from his sudden outburst. He grabbed her shoulder and pulled her in, kissing her passionately.

Seulgi was still a bit shaken from being in air, but smiled through the kiss as she did so back, her hands making way around his torso and hugging him.

They pulled away, not caring about the questions thrown at them as they existed in their own little bubble, just the two of them all smiles as they looked at each other with gazes dripping with honey.

"I love you so much." Taeyong said kissing her again, pulling away quicker. "I love you so much it might kill me." he kissed her again, between each of his sentences. "My queen. My love. My angel. And now the mother of my child. God, how can you make me love you any more than I already do."

They returned back to their room quicker than he had planned, but Taeyong didn't care for the party anymore. He wanted to be with his pregnant wife in their own little world, even ordering the servants to stay out of their room until the next day.

The moment Seulgi started taking off her clothes, Taeyong quickly ran into the bathroom and started preparing the bath, adding in rose petals and bubbles. He went out in time to see her taking off her makeup, smiling as he walked up behind her and hugged her naked body, laying kisses on her shoulder.

"Let's bathe." he whispered, hands now massaging her tummy. "We should do it with Jangmi too."

Seulgi turned her head to look at him, chuckling softly. "Jangmi?"

"Isn't that what you wanted to name our baby?"

"Well yes, but what if it's a boy?"

"It's a girl, I know it is."

Turning around completely she circled her hands around his neck, her face unreadable. "But wouldn't you want a son? To continue as heir?"

Taeyong sighed, he hated that question and mindset. He picked her up in his arms and simply walked into the bathtub carrying her until they were seated against one side. She straddled his lap while his fingers traced down her back, both staring into space.

"I wouldn't care less if it's a girl. Honestly I'd like a daughter more. Besides there's nothing wrong with her becoming the next heir if that's what you're worried about."

Seulgi smiled, leaning her head against his chest as she visioned herself with their child, a little girl, running through the garden. She was chasing behind her as they played tag, and for a second she was missing, only to reappear with Taeyong from behind a tree. She smiled in pure joy, her heart filled with love and happiness of their little family.

"Jangmi will have the best life ever, you're going to be her father after all."

"And you her mother." Taeyong smiled staring up at the ceiling, having similar imaginations as his wife. "God, I can't wait. I want to hold her already."

Of course he didn't hold back. From the fifth month he had an extra room next to theirs changed completely for the baby, which turned out to be a girl after all. And he kept the theme to her name, with a rose themed chandelier, rose vine wallpapers, her furniture being a white which he then had painters come and paint rose patterns over them. As per Seulgi's request, he kept the colour pink.

And once little Jangmi was born, he had the maid do Seulgi's usual task of bringing roses from the garden to decorate their room.

"What's the significance of roses?" he finally asked one day. The couple laid in bed, three month old Jangmi between them shifting around. Seulgi looked at him and smiled.

"Thought you never asked, it's hilarious seeing you obsessed over a flower because of Jangmi's name." she chuckled first before responding. "Different colours have different significances. Pink roses symbolise gentleness, grace, sweetness, joy, appreciation and elegance, how I hope Jangmi will grow up to be." she said smiling at the baby.

"And yellow? That's your favourite colour."

"Yellow roses are a sign of friendship, and red romance."

"That explains a lot." Taeyong hid his face in embarrassment as they laughed at the memory of him giving her yellow roses during Valentine's Day, and Seulgi laughed at him but never said why.

Taeyong turned back to Jangmi, watching as she sleepily sucked on her finger. His smile never left since the day she was born, his hand now gently patting her chest. "From now on I'll have pink roses sent to your room, my beautiful girl. You will grow up seeing only beauty and smelling sweet things."

Seulgi chuckled sleepily. The once uninterested King was now in love with roses.

More specifically, his little rose.

note: Jangmi is the Korean for rose when naming girls
