THREE YEARS AFTER

ROSE' POV

And here they come! The most trending ship in K-pop world since 2017. JENLISA.
Way back then, ChaeLisa would always came up second in every Blackpink ships. That time, I was so devastated and anxious that no other ships but ChaeLisa will screamed out loud by the fans but their eyes tells what their heart wants and not the people needs to see. They were both in love but they were too oblivious with that. They would deny but I get it. At first they would because of their innocence and their identity crisis. They were in denial but they were curious about what was happening deep inside them.

I was there. Always there.


Being Lisa's twin in the eyes of many for being in a same year we were born, same long blonde hair in 2018 and with a 1 cm height gap, yes we were a twin, But it hits me different when Lisa do things that would made my heart beat in an abnormal state.

Lisa does this not just with Jennie but with any girl she encountered with. She was never a flirt but a gentleMANOBAN was born in a female body. She never noticed how she does things a man do with his girlfriend or wife. She is a sweet, very thoughtful and carefree especially with other feelings. She's our ball of sunshine and our happy virus.  I swear, if Jisoo and Lisa combine, your tummy will ache for a week from laughing with the crackhead duos.

At first, I was mesmerized with her big doe eyes. She has this eyes that will tell you story even without opening her lips. Her face like a barbie-doll especially when she got blonde. But the very first character she caught my attention with was the time when I first met them. Miyeon was still there too but Lisa was very shy and quiet. We never had the chance to bond during my first months there because of Miyeon. She was like a koala that always clings with Lisa. By how they looked at each other, I could tell what was really going on. I have this skills that I am always right when it comes with my instincts. 100%!

I also thought that time that Lisa would always bond with Jisoo but never Jennie. I knew Jennie and each of the members attitude but the way Jennie distanced herself with Lisa and Miyeon are far different on how she interacts with Miyeon alone and with us but very different with Lisa.

At first, I came up with the thought that jealousy were all over Jennie's eyes everytime her eyes gazed at the two and I was right when Miyeon left. Lisa got insane. Like literally insane. She always wanted to be alone but there was something inside me that pushed myself to be with her every single night the other girls will go to their own room. I would go to Lisa's room hearing all her silent cries inside her room door locked. But one night, she left it unlocked and I inhaled all the bravery in the world just to trespassed into her room and become a friend she needs.

As her bedroom door lock clicks, she peeked her head out inside her checkered black and gray blanket just to see who closed her door.

She hide her head again as she started to speak acting like asleep.

"hey Chaeng why are you here? can't sleep?" I heard her sniffed.

"you know it's rude when you are talking under your blanket" I shake my head.

"I'm sleeping and just woke up when I heard my door" she said in a deep voice but it cracks a little.

"yeah right..sleeping with an open lights?"  I chuckle.

"-oh ..I just forgot to turned it off."

"You know we can hear your sobs four nights in a row don't you?" I sat on her bed as she squeezed her body away from me inside her blanket acting like a kid.

"come on Lis! you can talk to me. You need to let it out!" ten silent seconds passed by as she slowly pull down the sheet from her face and stay it on her upper chest to still cover her entire body. She rub her puffy eyes while used tissues all around her body came out.  I stood up and one by one picked the used tissue from her and it made her surprised.

"can you pull me up?" She begged and pouted. cute.

"you look like a duck when you pout" I said then chuckled.

"you looked like a chipmunk when you eat" She fired back that made me visioned inside my head why. She had a point tho.


"come on! ramen will make you feel good!" I offered and her reactions made me giggled inside. She looked like a lost kid who have nothing to do but to obey just to gave her some help.
Poor Lisa.

That very night, Lisa became more comfortable talking about lots of things about herself and even about Miyeon. Did I just said she was the most shy person? I want to take it back. Lisa was nothing but a very hyper person. There is always something funny in every sentence she utter that makes my jaw ache from time to time because of laughter.



It was either Chaonga, chipmunk or Rosie.. That names could be heard everyday from my member's lips. Months passed. Lisa and I became really close. Sometimes we bicker about food but most of the time we argue about our Korean words which she always won and being the pure Korean between us, Lisa never loses when it comes in using proper Hangul words.

We argue, we fight, we bicker, we teased but at the end of the day, Lisa is my best friend and I really love her.

I know about her and Jennie. She really liked Jennie but the she thought Jennie will never like her the way she feels that's why she gave her her efforts and love to Miyeon which the other girl reciprocated in the same amount of love and appreciation Lisa gave.

Lisa came back to life after a week. She begun to joke and teased around again. Jisoo and Lisa became the crackhead duo in our apartment and it was a good sight tho. But that good starts lead her to Jennie again. I have no right to stop them again from being sweet and clingy. To be honest Lisa gave me more time than being with Jennie. But the way she acts around her versus the way she acts around me and Jisoo are far different. We spent time together and I made sure that I will make it extra happy for the both of us. Until one day, I woke up realizing that I am already falling in love with my best friend.

Lisa's little details of thoughtfulness at me, those gentle approach towards me my heart beats in unknown reason at first until those days that Lisa's away and went to her hometown to pay a visit with her relatives, I found myself longing from her presence and touch.

I really fucked up.

I planned to confessed as soon as she got back but a news from the social media hit me like ddu-ddu-ddu-ddu. Yes it hit me hard. It caused me too much pain. Jennie went with her mom to Lisa's place and spend time with them. Wow. And my mind realized that I forgot those eyes, smiles and secret interactions between them.

Lisa and Jennie, despite of all the consequences, all the struggles and bad feedback about their closeness, they chose to ignore it all but spend time together away from the limelight. They chose to listen to their hearts with their innocent minds, unknown with their true feelings towards each other. not knowing they are in love.

But despite the hurt, I chose to stay as the best friend Lisa needs. I know I have a special place in her heart. In fact, I named all of her cats!  Some fans might see it clearly, some people might think it was a fan service but I know deep inside me, I loved Lisa and if it will take me to forever until that love fades, I will remain solid with her; thru ups and downs.

CHAELISA will remain iconic in my heart.





"hey chipmunk! you lost a bit there!" I am startled with Lisa's arms wrapped around my shoulder. "you monkey! you always startled me with your voice!" I complained but she just pinched my cheeks. "ahhhh.. my bestfriend missed me so much" she said and kissed my cheeks.  I get used to with her genuine acts. Her arms around me, kissing my cheeks, hugging me whenever she wants, I like it. No. I love it but not in a romantic way now. I will always be Lisa's best friend forever.

"you're so annoying Pranpriya!"
