ROSÉ.
"You really have good hands, Lis!" I told her as i watched her record from my Time Square performance.
It wasn't moverish if there's a word for that. It looks like it was a professional camera was used and from a director itself.
"I was proud of my work too." She smiles.
We're done with each other's commitments so we met in some cafe here in New York.
We have a date.
We have a date.
Yes. It's a date. Lisa asked me for a date and i didn't bother to clarify her and answered yes immediately.
We're on casuals and didn't bother to cover up too much. I don't think no one would mind us here.
"You should. Can i put this in my channel? I mean..in one of my episodes?" I asked.
"You don't need to ask, Chaeyoung."
Our order came and we casually talk each other's work.
"I was thinking of sitting out from my position." She shared.
"Why?"
"It's the overload work and the pressure. I don't really care about the boards but they are stealing my freedom. And i hate that."
"Well, you should think about this a thousand times. You have a goal, right? But if they are too much, then sit out." i replied.
It's not just a company she is holding but a freaking group of companies with branches globally. And with the industry full of men wanting to dominate and never a wanting a woman as their Boss. It must be really hard.
"I was thinking of managing the M Entertainment. And just thinking of how i will manage it and make it grow big is giving me excitement and challenge."
I smiled upon hearing it.
"It's a line you grow love on to. You love dancing, Lisa. You were happy whenever we completed a song lyrics. And that time you helped me in the studio, the smile on your face never left your face. So that's gonna be great."
"I need that reminder." She let out a timid smile.
"Then i will be here to remind you everyday."
"You know.. you're the only person that is constant. Please stay with me forever." Her voice is normal but her eyes are almost pleading.
Lisa, what is happening?
"I'm always here for you, Lis."
She smiled, her eyes goes back to normal bored-looking eyes.
"I'll try to talk it to the Manobans."
We eat in comfortable silence. I had two servings of churros while Lisa had her pancake.
"Lis, let's go to some park. We haven't done it in a while." I said.
"Why not? Rent a bike?" She asked smiling.
"Great!"

After our breakfast, we headed to the nearest park and find some shop renting bikes. We only asked for one. My decision.
I want to hug Lisa.
"Aren't you a little overdressed for this?" I asked as i sit on the back, both legs on each side.
Lisa's almost wearing office suit with white turtle neck under her coat and square pants.
"Nah, this is fine." She replied.
"You're going big, really." She said after a while, using Korean.
"I think not." My eyes are closed as i was filled with her scent.
Lisa uses vanilla scent and i'm addicted.
"You do. Americans are welcoming you with open arms. China can't wait for your chinese release. Accept it."
I sighed. "I'm afraid, Lis. I'm afraid i woke up one day and everything is just a dream."
"I should be the one saying that." She chuckles.
"You are too good to be true, Chaeyoung. It will happen anyway."
"Do you wanna live here?" I asked after a while.
"Maybe visit once in a while but to reside here, no." She replied.
We stopped by to a food stall and she bought us hotdog in buns and soda.
"Same. Maybe if i'm just someone looking for jobs. I'll be choosing to live here." I said.
She cleared her throat as her eyes roam around. After a while, she walked to the news stand.
"You are becoming a real business person, Lis. You are now into newspapers." I joked.
"No, i'm still not interested. There's something telling me to check it." She replied.
"Let's sit there." I pointed a picnic table.
she leaned our bike to a beside our table. I sneak on what she's reading. And as usual, business section.
"Do you know them?" I asked as her eyes seems to linger on a particular subject.
"No, just interested of what he said."
"What is it?"
"Anything you do (a business) will never be successful if you're half-hearted on doing it. That's the message. He just use too much words." She replied.
"Do you believe what he said?"
"No. You can be anything or you can do anything you want as long as you have the drive to do it. Even if the love for it isn't a hindred percent. Hell! I finished Law topping the Licensure Exam being only driven by my hatred."
I left stunned.
"I thought..."
She turned to me. "Sorry for not telling you that. But you do know i hate people. I'd rather play alone than join other kids"
"Why didn't you? I'm your bestfriend."
I am hurt. All along, i know that she wants to be a lawyer.
"I'm sorry. But i can still tell you everything, right? It's not too late?" She said sounding fear of what will i reply and how her eyes showed the same.
"You should."
"So uhm.. should we go back to our Hotel Room? Or what?" She asked.
"Let's buy food." I answered.
