signed fate

< 13 >

YG gatherings were quite rare, but if they happened there was no way anyone would miss them. At least the chairman kept an eye on those who dared not to show up. Every artist in YG would be there while Yang Hyunsuk makes an announcement. Some of these events even included some trainees.

Lisa remembered still remembered the first time she was part of a gathering, it was the time she didn't debut yet. Her, Chaeyoung, some other female trainees and male trainees were there. The gathering revolved around finding Back Up dancers for Taeyangs Ringa Linga. Normally searching back up dancers wasn't made a big deal of, but her sunbaenim was so eager to find YGs hidden jewels, that he ordered all the other YG artists to search with him. Lisa could still feel that day deep down inside her, it was like auditioning for the second time. Luckily, she became part of those who were allowed to appear in the MV.
The experience was unforgettable, she would never forget it, even though she wasn't the center of the MV. There was something about the day, on which they shot the MV, that would never fail to amaze her.

That day was more than just stepping closer to her dream, it was the first time she felt her heart beat that fast.

So special.

Ever since that day, Lisa loved YG gatherings and wanted to be part of them all the time. However, those gatherings became rather rare. Since the drug scandal of Lisa's sunbae, Park Bom, YG seemed to hold a grudge against gatherings. Appearently, he was only up for meeting the Big Bang members.
Other than that, he became stricter in terms of label mate relationships, which none of the artists understood. Seungri was probably the only one, that helped them to keep a low profile while meeting each other. If he wasn't present, there would be a high chance of most friendships not existing.

Although Lisa enjoyed meeting all those amazing people through the gatherings, the past years made her love for those meetings turn into something less pleasing.

She didn't like them anymore, to be exact.

"Come on, Lisa, at least try to look like you have fun", Chaeyoung, who was standing right in front of her, said and pouted like a child.
They were in a huge room inside YG and waited for the other ones to arrive. The room had a very long table standing in the center, long enough for all artists to have a seat.

The members of Blackpink decided to sit next to Lee Hi, who was seated rather in the back.
Jennie and Jisoo were both closest to her, which was why both of them decided to sit right and left next to Hayi. Chaeyoung and Lisa were seated next to Jisoo.

"I'm trying my best", Lisa exclaimed sighing and smiled lightly. There was something missing and without that something, her naturally energized spirit seemed off.

Suhyun, Changhyuk and many more artists of YG were already there, all of them waited for the chairman to arrive.

But there was one thing that peaked Lisa's interest and perhaps the interest of all the people present. All of the Big Bang members were absent, not even Seungri was there and he was part of the gatherings all the time. Normally, they were the first ones to arrive.

"Seems like the iKON members won't come as well", Jisoo started to talk to Hayi and earned a thoughtful nod.

iKON.

Lisa's began to feel a lot more uneasy, which was noticed by Chaeyoung. She put her hand on Lisa's in reassurance.

"They are fully packed with schedules in Japan and most likely back in a few days", Hayi replied and sighed heavily. Jennie and Jisoo immediately sensed that her sigh was not one of exhaustion, it sounded desperate. Everyone in YG knew Hayi wished for nothing, but a full schedule and more regular comebacks. Despite this being every artists wish, Hayi was one of the most desperate ones. Jennie leaned towards and hugged her affectionately, Jisoo chose to rub her back.
