Make It With You

15

*Jisoo*

It's been a week since the incident on my birthday. Everyone is busy with a back-to-back photoshoot and other commitments. Since that event, I noticed that Monique has been avoiding me. I tried to apologize to her but every time I had a chance to talk to her, she always has an excuse that she is busy, with meetings, or something. I understand that everybody is busy, but avoiding me at all cause makes me miserably miss her and makes me sad. Though I always caught her staring at me it is not enough.

Jennie, Lisa, and Chaeng always check on her. Why does she act normal and like nothing happens with those idiots, but when it comes to me, she running away from me? Chaeng sometimes sleeps at her place, Jennie and Lisa as well. Most of the time it was Lisa keeping her company. Every time I asked them how Monique was, they consistently answered me "she's fine", nothing more. I want to know more, I want to know how fine she is. I want my Monique back. I miss her, badly. I sighed.

*Monique*

Monique unnie!? Monique unnie!? Eodiya? (Where are you), Monique unnie!? I heard Lisa shouting, I let out a deep breath before answering her, seutyudio-eseo (in the studio) I shouted back.

Wae yeogie .. tto (why are you here.. again) I asked in a bored tone.

Asidasipi, Monikeu eonni, beullaeg pingkeu membeodeul, teughi jeniwa hamkkehaji anhneundamyeon naega gyeot-e issgo sip-eun yuilhan salam-eun dangsinppun-ibnida. (You know, Monique unnie, if I won't be around with Blackpink members, especially Jennie, the only other person I want to be around is you) said Lisa and wiggle her eyebrows.

Watashi Lisa ni dorehodo fukaku kandōshita ka wa iemasen. (I can't tell you how deeply moved I am Lisa.) I said sarcastically while rolling my eyes at her. Shinaide kudasai. (Don't do that please) I continued.

Nani? (What?)

Kōdo. Sono tappingu o teishi shimasu. (The cord. Stop that tapping.) I said shaking my head.

Lisa sighs. Ame ga futte iru toki, ienomawari de suru koto wa amari arimasen. Toranpu o shitaidesu ka? (There's not a lot to do around the house when it's raining. Want to play cards?)

Bangō. (No) I quickly replied in a dry tone.

Anata wa tanoshī Monīkude wa arimasen. (You're no fun Monique) Lisa said pouting.

I haven't figured out yet how to get my work done with you in the house. I deadpan.

Lisa chuckles, that's a tough one, she said while tapping my shoulder. Where are you going? She asked.

To make myself a cup of coffee.

Where is everyone? She asked.

To my parent's house. Mina is here somewhere probably sleeping. Wait, do you live here now too? You're here almost every day. Do you have your room somewhere in my house? I asked her continuously. She just ignore all my rants and burst into laughter.

What's bothering you unnie? She asked concerned.

It's about my feeling something very good.. and not being able to tell Jisoo about it. I sighed defeated.

You're a genuinely good and amazing person Monique unnie, and Jisoo sees that. All of us are rooting for you and Jisoo to be together. Confess to her already, boss. Lisa chuckles. You'll be great together. She continued.

Just curious, unnie? For how long you've been attracted to Jisoo?

I've been in love with her since your training days. I answered honestly.

Whoa, unnie. That long?

I sigh, yes Lisa that long.

Have you known about us since our training days? How?

Lisa, I am Monique Hastings Yang, that's how. I shook my head.

We went back to my room after that small pep talk with Lisa.

Monique unnie, can I do a vlive here in your room?

Sure, just let me do my work at peace.

I was in my study room when Lisa started her vlive. I smile shaking my head. This girl was full of energy, I mumbled.

Monique unnie, Jennie, Chaeng, and Jisoo are watching my vlive. Lisa shouted.

They are probably bored. I replied. What kind of vlive you're doing? You keep shouting. I looked at her crossing my arms, she just give me her biggest smile.

Monique unnie, Jisoo asks how are you doing. I told her you were drowning from your tears. Lisa said laughing so hard. Suddenly a flying pillow landed on her face, Ouch! It hurts unnie. She complained.

After a few minutes, she bid her goodbye to her vlive and she drags me into the studio. I sit on the floor and ignore her focusing on my laptop.

Excuse me, unnie do you want to see my dancing skills?

I already saw that. I admire your dancing, you have exceptional skills. I said without looking at her.

Unnie, can you watch me for a minute? Lisa said being persistent to get my attention.

Ahhh, Lisa! I yell annoyed.

I have an idea. She said ignoring my annoyance.

What?

Can we dance together then I will upload our dance on Instagram?

No.

Please unnie, you told us that our idea and opinion are important to you. Please unnie. She said in a baby voice.

Ahhh, what did I do in my past life to deserve this? I said and Lisa laughed.

Ok fine, let's do this. Lisa jumps because of joy and hug me tightly.

We practice for almost 3 hours after we polished all the moves I prepare the camera that will record our dance cover.

Alright, let's wrapped it up!

We review everything before she posted the video, it turns out great actually. A few minutes after she posted, the video gathers millions of views and likes.

The power of Lalisa Manoban! I shouted and whistled. She beams at me happily giving me a high five while we are laying down on the floor still breathing heavily.

Lisa left after we eat dinner. Later that night, I can't hardly sleep. Thinking of certain someone. I need to do something about it, I mumbled.
