Stay Just a Little Longer

On My Mind

July 2016

Jungkook POV

"Its here! YG posted a new picture of the members of their new girl group! Its finally happening hyung!"

"Lemme see! I wanna see them!"

"Aish these kids! Hey! Stop hogging the tablet Jimin! Let Taehyung and the rest have a look too!"

I wake up to the sounds of my hyung's squabbling. I get up and groggily go to the washroom to wash up.

It's been a few weeks since my encounter with the auburn haired girl. I tried to sneak out every morning hoping to see her again but no luck. I really want to see her again and thank her properly, but it's too late for that now. I sigh and head out to my room to get changed.

I go to the kitchen and see my hyungs fighting over the tablet. It's rare to see everyone so lively. Today was one of those rare days when we get to spend the entire day lazing around. Our manager let us have a free day because of how tired we've been lately.

"What's happening here?", I ask Yoongi hyung. He was eating by himself in the kitchen table, watching my other hyungs squabble as if it was a cartoon.

"They're fighting over the tablet to see the pics YG has been posting about their new girl group."

"Oh? YG is finally debuting them? Why couldn't they just use their own phones to look at the pictures?"

Apparently, my voice was louder than I thought. As soon as my sentence finished, my other hyungs looked at me then ran off to their own rooms, dropping the tablet on the couch. They're probably busy searching the images and looking for any facts about the supposed members by now.

"Well, I guess they were too busy fighting over who gets the tablet to actually think of other ways to look at the picture."

I laugh at Yoongi hyung's savageness and head over to the couch to pick up the tablet. I unlock it and see YG's website. So their new girl group is called Blackpink? I wonder what their concept is gonna be like.

"Ohhh she's pretty!"

I hear Jimin's squeal about one of the members. So I head to his room to see what he's squealing about.

I go inside and see him sprawled on the bed staring at his phone's screen. Beside him I see Taehyung staring at his phone as well, Hobi hyung too.

"She's like a doll!" Hobi hyung exclaims.

I've seen someone that looks like a doll. Her features were exotic, and her physique was that of a dancer's.

"She's so exotic! I don't think she's korean.", Jimin keeps on analyzing the girl's looks and giving his comments here and there.

"Eh? Then she'll be YG's first foreign artist then! She must be really good."

"When is their debut?"

"Their debut MV is set for release on August 8 at 8 pm. So we've got to wait for a few more days until we get to see them sing and dance."

A foreigner? What are the odds? She was a foreigner too.

"Hey Jimin hyung lemme see the picture.", Jimin hands me his phone.

"She's really pretty right?"

My ears muted out Jimin's voice as soon as I saw the picture. The only thing I can hear was the sound of her voice. Its been a few weeks now but I still clearly remember how soft and melodious it was.

She looks different. When I met her she was so shy. As if she was hesitant to speak. But in the picture? She looks so confident, her charisma evident and her swag practically flaring.

I would have kept on admiring her, but Jimin already swiped his phone out of my hand.

"Ya hyung! I was still looking at her!"

"Use your own phone!"

I hurriedly run to my room and see Namjoon hyung on his phone too.

"Finally catching on the the craze huh?"

"I guess you can say that.."

I'm definitely catching unto the craze. The girl I can't seem to forget was a trainee all along. In YG no less, one of Korea's top entertainment agencies. That explains her physique, she must have been training for a long time.

I continue to read her profile, she's from Thailand and has been training for over 6 years now. She's apparently the main dancer for YG's new girl group, and has been dancing ever since she was young to the point the YG CEO calls her a dance machine. She must have crazy dance skills then, to have the acknowledgement of YG's CEO is a huge feat for a trainee.

Her name is Lisa. Lalisa Manoban. That's the name of the girl I've been thinking about lately. I continue to gaze at her picture, I want to meet her. I want to talk to her. Will she still remember me?

"Hey Jungkook, are you okay?"

"Yeah hyung, I am."

Am I really? I can't wait for her debut. I'll finally see her again, whether it's in a video or in real life, all I really want is for a chance to meet you....
