CHAPTER 52

He fills a place in your heart you never knew was empty.

Break

"I suggest you should take a break."

Break. That would be a good opportunity. With my current situation, I think I couldn't risk to face the media and most especially the fans. I know I got a lot of explaining to do but it'll be more exhausting to answer all their whys right now. It'll be too dangerous.

"There's no need for you to give them an explanation. The legal team will take handle the press release."

"Ne." I gulped and tried to crook a smile.

Sajangnim took time to read my expression but my blank face did not gave him the opportunity.

He sighed. "I don't mean to come up this way but as of now, it'll be the best option to ensure your safety. I suggest you'd deactivate all your SNS account to avoid all the hate spam. Any words coming from you might be used against you."

Without any words, I nodded like a robot. Taking in all the words and programming it to my head.

I'll keep my silence. My urge to speak up was slowly fading. Or I'm slowly losing my courage to speak. I am more determined to keep this all for myself. It's nothing new and I've been like doing it for years.

People threw rocks at things that shine. Instead of trying to clean my name I chose to shine.

I'm afraid if I'd speak whether it's good or bad still people won't listen and chose whatever they want to believe. It's a cycle one way or another.

"Your group has been hiatus for a year. With Jisoo's blooming career on Hollywood scene, Lisa's piled up major modeling gigs, Rosé's Solo tour.. and your successful second solo album last year.. I'm afraid this scandal would take toll all your future solo project plans as well the group project plans. You're supposed to be working your next group comeback starting this June but I guess it'll be move again. We'd try to die down this whole mess before the year end Awards would start to kick off."

I held my belly out of words to speak. What will I'm going to do? I don't think I'd be able to attend year end awards with my current situation. I can't imagine performing with my swollen belly!

Of course, I wouldn't dare. It'll be a shame and there's no way I'd bring a reason for BLACKPINK's downfall.

I should think something else to buy more time before our group comeback plans. I need.. I need to think a solution to my problem as soon as possible.

"Why not push Jisoo unnie's first solo album this year as well Lisa? I think it'll do good since Jisoo unnie has been gaining advance supports from the West after her successful Fourth Dimension movie." I bit my lip trying to conceal my nervousness.

"That would be possible. Rosé's second Solo tour will take off by September. But that would left you out to attend the awards."

"I'm fine with that. I'm planning to extend my vacation plan.." that way I could probably think clearly and have aa solution before it'll broke to the public.

It may upset everyone but this is the least I could think would be the safest option. To hide or to runaway.

Sajangnim stared at me more, weirded with my sudden plan.

"I hope you're not hiding something this time that could ruin you." His words made me more anxious to gulp. "Because the last time you did that, it almost ruined you six years ago."
