8 Years [ENGV]

#19

YG ENTERTAINMENT and FNC ENTERTAINMENT would like to clarify the rumors involving JISOO [YG] and Jung Hae-in [FNC]. Their lives are private, and they do not want to expose their relationship at the moment. The child seen with them is a girl in the process of adoption. We wish happiness to the family that they are both struggling to build and ask that you respect the privacy of the artists and the child.

JISOO

The news that Hae-in and I were having a child spread quickly, obviously it would not be a secret for long, especially after the dinner where some fans recognized us. YG soon issued a statement making it clear that it was an adoption process, which calmed things down a bit.

Despite this, I felt lighter, happier and more complete. My life was moving towards a solid structure. Hae-in and I were fine, Hae-ji was happy, her psychologist did not call our attention to anything and told us that the adaptation process was going well — Everything was fine.

Being with the girls also did me good. The group might have been on hiatus for a while, but our friendship and complicity never changed, we seemed like the same young dreamers in search of a dream.

"Why didn't Lisa come?" Suzy asks when we enter a clothing store in the winter mall. "And so did Haein?"

"Hae-in had a meeting with FNC in the morning and will pick up Hae-ji from school later." I answered. "I don't know about Lisa."

"She's up to something." Rosé says with half-closed eyes. Suzy stops, looking at a thick gray coat. "When we were in the dorm, when she was with someone, she always disappeared."

"Who could Lisa be with?" Jennie asks. She was still in the hospital and couldn't leave even if she wasn't, so she talked to us via video call, because she refused to stay out.

"I don't know, but she's seeing someone." Rosé says, with her eyes still half-closed and looking at the same coat that Suzy was looking at before.

"Is there a problem with her seeing someone?" Suzy asked, a slight jealousy dancing in her voice.

"It is if she doesn't tell." Rosé says, looking at a white wool sweater. "We have a pact, neither of us can date if we don't go through the BPDA." Suzy frowned.

"And what's that?"

"BlackPink dating advice." Jennie answers, I was holding the cell phone where she was participating in the meeting.

"Did I go through that?" Suzy asks, curious this time.

"You did." I answered. "Twice. When she was interested in you and then when you got back together." That made Suzy laugh.

"The first time, you weren't approved the way." Jennie says. "It was still 2016, Jisoo and I thought you were pretty, but we told Rosé that you probably didn't like women."

"Wait!" I turned the phone to me. "So there were 3." Rosé put the sweater aside and turned to me with her eyes wide open, a surprised expression on her face.

"That's true!" She pointed at me and smiled nostalgically, then looked at her wife. "You went through the board three times; when I saw you at the awards ceremony, when we first talked and when we got back together. I forgot we talked about you when I saw you at that awards ceremony."

"And of those three times, you were approved twice." Jennie said. I turned the phone again.

"I'm glad I was approved then."

"The only one who didn't go through our board was Hae-in." Rosé looked at the sweaters again, this time picking up a black one. "Jisoo was with him before BPDA existed. In fact, the board exists because of him." I felt Suzy's gaze on me and just shrugged. Rosé looked at me accusingly. "You were always with Hae-in, and we barely saw you." Remembering when I could barely be separated from Hae-in made me excited.
