Strawberries & Cigarettes: (Liskook)

Chapter 3 (Three)

My manager drove me at the shooting site where the survival show was supposed to be shooting. And as soon I stepped outside my car,I was greeted by the director himself with his other staffs.

"Welcome to our company,Lisa!" He welcomed me cheerfully "We're very grateful to have you in our show!"

"Thanks for inviting me" I politely bowed at them and they followed my action.

"Thanks to YOU for coming!" He said.

Finally we walked to the makeup room for a quick touch up and when the makeup Unnie was done with her work,I was called by other staffs to tell me about the concept of the show.

Soon I was told that I had to surprise them when they were practicing on their practice room. They weren't aware of my special appearance so that they can surprise them. The trainees were told that they had to shoot their dance practice and their usual routine. And honestly,It was a very exciting idea.I mean what would be more exciting and special than meeting your favourite celebrity.

And just the like the plan,I hid myself near the practice room where the trainees were practicing their dance moves. Even though,I was the one who was surprising them,I was more nervous than them. I can feel my heart beat against my chest and I had to hold my breath in anticipation.

Finally after a minute,The staffs signalled me to enter the room and burst inside with a cheering smile.

"SURPRISE!" I said and the trainees looked back at me, utterly stunned by my sudden appearance.

They stared at me like they couldn't believe of what they're seeing before them.

"Tell me it's not Lisa manoban!" One of the blonde guy spoke finally "Don't Tell me it's THE Lisa manoban! Oh my God!"

"Daebak!" And finally they expressed their surprise together.

"I'm such a big fan of yours!"

"So pretty!"

"You look better in person!"

And the compliments never stopped. However I smiled at them politely and bowed at them for a formal introduction.

"Hello,I'm Lisa manoban" I said "And nice to meet you all!"

"It's nice to meet you too!" All of them said in unison and I cannot help but to smile at them.

"So I'm your today's special guest" I said with a smile and the staff added:

"And today,She'll be the special judge. You have to impress her"

"Daebak!" They said nervously yet excited. I can see their eyes shining with excitement and passion. I couldn't help but to notice the younger me in them. I was also just like them,scared and alone not knowing where to go and what to do. But the only thing that always lives inside me was the passion. It has never died inside me and those shining eyes reminded me of myself.

"But there's one missing, Where's is he?" The staff asked interrupting my thoughts and one of the trainee with black hair answered.

"I saw him in the dorm when I was coming" He said "He was practicing in his room"

"Didn't you inform him before coming?"

"I did. He said he was coming" He replied.

"Cut the cameras please" One of the staff said to the camera man while he looked at the other staffs.

He hesitantly asked "What should we do? Should we inform the director?"

But before the other staff could reply,Someone burst inside the dance practice room.

"I'm Sorry!I was practicing and didn't realise about the time" He said panting but as soon his voice caught my ear,I froze in my spot.

His voice dangerously sounds familiar to the one whom I had always tried to forget with the past. But as I stand there, wondering if it was actually him,My curiosity got the best of me.

And I turned back.

And as soon our eyes met,My heart stopped for a second and I froze on my spot. I even forgot to breathe for a second.

It feels like the time has stopped for a moment around us and only two of us were there. I can hear the heavy but faint breathing of mine as I stared at him in surprise.

Same pretty eyes,same nose,same lips and same him. How could I even forget the one with whom I had fell in love for the very first time. How could I forget the face of my very first love. How could I forget him.

Unconsciously,I gulped nervously and torn my eyes from him before he could.

"Jungkook,You should be careful with time" The staff warned him, interrupting my thoughts and he answered.

"Ne! I will be careful next time" He said and I can hear his footsteps coming towards me. And what I was fearing for,It happened. He straight walked to me and stopped infront of me.

"Annyeonghaseyo,My name is jungkook and I'm a big fan of yours!" He said and I looked up at him. And as soon I did,I saw him smiling at me.

I opened my mouth to reply to him but the staffs interrupted us.

"Jungkook,You'll have enough time for this things!" The male staff said "And because of you,We've to shoot once again from the introduction part"

"I'm Sorry!I apologized!" He said, turning his gaze away from me while I sighed in relief.

But before he went back to his friends,He gave me a quick glance and smile at me.

And the moment he smiled at me,I knew. I knew that the past I was running from will always find me and torment me. It will never let me live in peace.
