### Episode 14: "The One with the Candy Hearts" (Featuring a Private Chat Between Rosé and Rachel, and Following the Original Plot)
---
**Opening Scene: Central Perk**
The episode opens with the gang hanging out at Central Perk. It's almost Valentine's Day, and the conversation quickly turns to everyone's plans for the big day. Monica, Ross, Chandler, Joey, Phoebe, Rachel, and Rosé are all seated around their usual spot, sipping coffee and sharing their thoughts.
**Rachel:** (sighing) "Another Valentine's Day where I'll be spending time with... me. Maybe I'll buy myself flowers this year, just to make it less pathetic."
**Monica:** (teasing) "Come on, Rachel, it's not that bad. You could spend it with us—unless someone's planning a secret romantic getaway with Rosé, huh?"
Monica laughs lightly, but there's a hint of curiosity in her voice. Her subtle crush on Rosé is still there, as is Rachel's, though neither of them wants to openly admit it. The group chuckles, and Rosé, ever calm, smiles at the playful banter.
**Chandler:** (sarcastic) "Yeah, well, if anyone wants to spend Valentine's Day with me, I'll be at home—probably reorganizing my sock drawer or eating an entire pizza alone."
**Joey:** (grinning) "That sounds pretty great to me. You got room for two?"
**Phoebe:** (nodding) "I don't mind being single on Valentine's Day. I'll probably just light some candles, do some meditating, maybe write a song about how love is overrated."
The group laughs, and Ross jumps in.
**Ross:** "Well, at least you all have plans. I've got a date with my paleontology lecture slides."
**Rachel:** (teasing) "You really know how to sweep a girl off her feet, Ross."
As the conversation continues, Rachel's eyes flicker to Rosé, who is quietly sipping his coffee. She's been thinking about the embarrassing moment when she accidentally walked out naked in front of him last week. It's been on her mind more than she'd like to admit, and part of her wants to talk to him about it—privately.

**Scene Shift: Monica and Rachel's Apartment, Later That Day**
Back at the apartment, Monica is busy in the kitchen, preparing for a Valentine's Day dinner she's planning to throw for the group. Rachel is sitting on the couch, flipping through a magazine but clearly distracted. She can't shake the memory of that moment with Rosé and the awkwardness of it.
**Rachel:** (sighing) "Monica, do you ever, like, obsess over something embarrassing that happened to you?"
**Monica:** (laughing) "Uh, yeah. Have you met me? What's on your mind?"
**Rachel:** (hesitating) "It's just... that thing with Rosé last week. You know, when I... walked out of the bathroom."
Monica smirks, knowing exactly what Rachel is referring to.
**Monica:** (teasing) "Oh, that? Yeah, I think you left quite the impression on him. He's probably still recovering."
**Rachel:** (groaning) "It's not funny! I was mortified, and now I feel like it's this weird thing between us. Every time I see him, I can't stop thinking about it."
Monica shrugs as she continues chopping vegetables.
**Monica:** "I wouldn't worry too much about it. Rosé's not the type to make a big deal out of stuff like that. Besides, it's not like he hasn't seen a woman before."
**Rachel:** (mumbling) "Yeah, but still..."
Rachel stands up, pacing around the living room, clearly unable to shake her embarrassment. After a few moments, there's a knock at the door. Rachel's heart skips a beat, and she quickly straightens her clothes, knowing it's probably Rosé.
**Monica:** (calling out) "Come in!"
Rosé steps into the apartment, as calm and composed as ever, holding a small bouquet of flowers. He smiles warmly at Monica and Rachel.
**Rosé:** "I thought I'd bring some flowers for the dinner tonight. Just a little something to brighten the room."
**Monica:** (smiling) "Aw, that's sweet, Rosé. You're too good to us."
**Rachel:** (nervous) "Yeah... flowers. So thoughtful."
There's an awkward pause as Rachel glances at Monica, clearly wanting to talk to Rosé privately. Monica, sensing the tension, raises an eyebrow.
**Monica:** (teasing) "Well, I'm going to run to the store real quick. We're low on... everything."
She gives Rachel a knowing look before grabbing her jacket and heading out the door, leaving Rachel and Rosé alone in the apartment. Rachel takes a deep breath, trying to muster the courage to bring up the embarrassing incident from the previous week.

**Scene Shift: Private Chat Between Rachel and Rosé**
Rachel sits down on the couch, and Rosé takes a seat across from her, placing the flowers on the table. Sensing that Rachel wants to talk about something, Rosé remains calm, his usual serene demeanor putting her slightly at ease.
**Rachel:** (nervously) "So, um... about last week."
Rosé raises an eyebrow, curious but patient.
**Rosé:** "Last week?"
**Rachel:** (laughing awkwardly) "Yeah, you know... when I, uh... walked out of the bathroom. You saw me, uh, not exactly dressed."
Rosé nods, a faint smile playing on his lips as he remembers the moment, though he remains composed.
**Rosé:** "Ah, yes. I didn't think much of it at the time. You seemed more surprised than I was."
**Rachel:** (blushing) "Yeah, well, I wasn't exactly expecting company in the living room. I guess I just... felt embarrassed. And it's been kind of stuck in my head ever since."
Rosé leans forward slightly, his voice soft and reassuring.
**Rosé:** "You don't need to feel embarrassed, Rachel. It was an honest mistake. Things like that happen, and there's no reason to dwell on it. I didn't see anything, really."
**Rachel:** (relieved, but still teasing) "Well, that's not entirely fair, is it? You're the only one who got a peek."
Rosé chuckles, his calm laugh putting Rachel at ease.
**Rosé:** "If it makes you feel better, we can call it even in some other way."
**Rachel:** (laughing) "I'll think of something."
There's a comfortable silence between them for a moment, the tension from the past week dissipating. Rachel feels a lot lighter now that they've talked about it, and she realizes that Rosé's steady and gentle nature has a way of making even the most awkward situations feel less daunting.
**Rachel:** "Thanks, Rosé. I really needed to clear the air."
**Rosé:** (smiling) "Anytime. I'm glad we did."
As the conversation winds down, there's a knock at the door, and Monica returns from her grocery run. She takes one look at Rachel and Rosé, noticing the lighter mood between them.
**Monica:** (teasing) "Did I miss something?"
**Rachel:** (grinning) "Nothing you need to worry about."

**Scene Shift: The Double Date Disaster**
Meanwhile, Chandler and Joey are preparing for their own Valentine's Day plans—a double date that Joey set up, which Chandler is not excited about. At the restaurant, things quickly go south as Chandler finds himself completely uninterested in his date, while Joey flirts relentlessly with both women.
**Chandler:** (muttering) "I don't know why I let you talk me into these things."
**Joey:** (grinning) "Hey, it's Valentine's Day! Love is in the air, man!"
**Chandler:** (sarcastic) "Yeah, love and the distinct smell of desperation."
As the date goes from bad to worse, Chandler tries to make small talk with his date, only to realize they have nothing in common. Meanwhile, Joey's charm isn't working as well as he thought it would, and the dinner quickly turns into an awkward mess.

**Scene Shift: Monica's Apartment**
Back at Monica's apartment, the gang has gathered for Monica's Valentine's Day dinner. Despite the awkwardness of the day, everyone seems to be enjoying themselves. Rosé is seated next to Monica, while Rachel sits across from him, and there's a noticeable ease in the air.
**Phoebe:** (cheerfully) "You know, this is actually kind of nice. Who needs a date on Valentine's Day when you have friends?"
**Monica:** "Exactly. We can celebrate our friendship and have a great time without any of the romantic drama."
**Rachel:** (grinning) "Speak for yourself. Some of us still like the romance part."
**Rosé:** (teasing) "Romance isn't reserved for one day a year. Sometimes it's more meaningful when it's unexpected."
Monica and Rachel exchange glances, both feeling that familiar pull toward Rosé, though neither is ready to fully acknowledge it. As the evening winds down, the group laughs and chats, and despite the ups and downs of the day, they're all happy to be spending it together.
