"It's their song," si Yoongi na katabi ni Jennie ang sumagot kay Jisoo. "You Were Pretty, it's like a natural phenomenon."
"Ha?"
Yoongi leaned closer so the girls could hear him. "This..." he gestured the crowd in a circle. "... always happens when they perform this song. The guys get their phones and display a picture of their ex-girlfriend to sing the lyrics of the song. As if they're seeing them in person," he explained clearly.
"Ano ba meaning ng kanta?" singit ni Lisa na nakikinig pala.
"It's about a guy who can't move on. Reminiscing the memories of his failed relationship, good and bad. I like it. It's pretty good."
Nagulat si Lisa, Jennie, at Jisoo dahil iyon na yata ang pinakamahabang sinabi ni Yoongi sa kanila. He even smiled.
The band started playing and soon enough, mas lumakas ang boses ng mga lalaking sumasabay sa kanta.
Lisa poke Jisoo's side. "May ex pala si Jungkook?" di makapaniwala niyang tanong. Jisoo shrugged dahil wala rin itong alam.
Sunod na tinusok ni Lisa sa tagiliran si Jennie. "Diba sabi mo NGSB si Yoongi?" bulong niya. Mukhang hindi rin alam ni Jennie kung anong isasagot dahil sa nakakunot nitong noo.
Nagka-ex siya? But I remember when I first met him, he told me he's never been in a relationship before. Iyan ang nasa utak ni Jennie habang nakatitig kay Yoongi na seryosong kinakantahan yung picture ng babae sa phone niya. "Nagsinungaling ba siya sa'kin?"
Dahil si Lisa ang pinakamatangkad sa kanila, siya yung may pinakamalaking chance na makita kung sino yung mga nasa picture. Tinutukan niya ng mabuti yung cellphone ni Jungkook. She got a glimpse but she doesn't know who it was. Mahaba ang buhok nito at may bangs din katulad niya.
She gave up finding out who it was and focused her eyes on Yoongi's phone. Hindi niya na kinailangan tumalon-talon dahil medyo malapit ito sa kanila. And it seems like he's not doing an effort to hide it. Pinaliit ni Lisa ang mga mata para maklaro kung sino ito. Pamilyar ang suot nitong damit. She squinted her eyes even more. Nang masigurado niya na kung sino, her jaw dropped in shock.
It was Jennie. It was her the night when she ran away on her eighteenth birthday. Lisa was sure because she was wearing the exact same clothes when she returned home the next morning. They all waited for her after her ex-boyfriend snitched.
Sasabihin niya na sana sa kaibigan ang nadiskubre kaya lang nagmamadali itong may tinawagan. Kay Jisoo nalang sana niya ito unang sasabihin pero nakapako naman ang tingin nito sa gilid ng stage.
"What are you doing?!" malakas na sigaw ni Jennie sa kung sino man ang nasa kabilang linya.
