"I will be quick unnie, don't need to remind me."
Lisa mumbled under her breath as she strut across the busy roads of Seoul, Korea. Jisoo that is on the other line of the phone sighed, worried about the maknae going out alone."You could've went with manager unnie, or me, you know how dangerous it is, right?"
Truth is, Lisa just wants some time alone. 2 years after debuting sure changed her whole life, after the success from the very start of their career, the group BLACKPINK was unstoppable and continues to rise despite the obvious lack of music releases.
When was the last time she went out alone to breathe? Lisa thought. She just want to be free from worry for a while, she convinced herself that the black mask, cap, and jacket she's wearing is enough to conceal her presence.
"I will just grab a snack, please fill me in so Chaeng-ah and Jen unnie won't worry."
"Do I even have a choice?"
From the sound of Jisoo's voice, the dismissal is hinted in it and that made Lisa grin, she won yet again.After cutting the call, she carefully looked around before crossing the streets. Her pace sped up after feeling uncanny. Her senses are heightened whenever she's outside, especially when she's alone, she has to be more aware of her environment; and right now, she's sure as hell someone's following her.
It's no news for idols to have what they call "sasaeng" or obsessive fans. Lisa fancy being Blinks' sweethearts and she loves them with her everything. However, nothing scares her more than being watched by sasaengs, it's one of the trainee nightmares that always kept her awake.
Although the streets are filled with people, it only made her more scared. Lisa felt as if the stalker is cornering her, that's why she did what's the only thing she can think of— she ran for her life.
The horror was visible in her face when she saw someone behind her also running, and even faster than her.
Lisa's limbs may be long but her running is mediocre, she reached the riverside, but she's determined not to stop even though her lungs is already out of air.
"Crap!"
And as the old story goes, Lisa's bad luck out of all times decided to pay her a visit. She stumbled on a root sticking out of the grass, she shrieked as a loud thud was heard after her body met with the ground.She refused to face whoever is trailing her out of fear. Although her ankles seem fine and she didn't attain an injury, her body felt too weak to even stand up. The fright crept to her veins, she should've stayed at home. Her body trembled as the person's shadow towered over her.
"H-hey."
It's a guy.Lisa shivered, how will she be able to protect herself now? Even though her joints were all jellied, she gathered up her remaining strength to stand up and prepared running.
However, she wasn't able to take even a step, the guy pulled the hem of her flannel.
"I'm not a bad guy, I uhh."
Lisa then realized how familiar the voice was. Of course how couldn't she? Her mom and aunt was a big fan, they would play their songs all day in loud volumes. They will also try bringing her to their concerts, but she have to deny their offer because of the rules as a trainee.
But then, he could just sound like him. There's no way he would be here... chasing her.
With that thought she tried escaping, but this time, the guy pulled her by the arm. Lisa spun like a yoyo, there she met the familiar bambi eyes under a black cap. He is wearing a similar flannel, white shirt, mask, and timberland boots. It's no denying the person in front of her is Jeon Jungkook.
It seems like he wasn't expecting that the person she chased was her as well.
"Sunbaenim!"
Out of habit she bowed with disbelief still written on her face."Ah please, just Jungkook."
The guy also bowed a little, flustered by the honorifics since the ginger head was months older than him."I'm sorry, I thought you're an uhh," Lisa felt embarrassed calling the guy a sasaeng that she cannot find the correct term to say. Jungkook immediately understood, with wide eyes and an awkward smile, he pulled his mask down revealing his gorgeous that is although void of makeup screams visual.
"It's alright, I should've called you but the people around might notice me. Anyway, here's your wallet."
Jungkook handed her the gray Pusheen wallet that she didn't even notice she dropped. She accepted them with two hands."Thank you so much sunbae— err Jungkook-ssi, I didn't really noticed."
Her hands were still trembling, how could you blame her? In front of her is someone she don't even know if real. Jeon Jungkook is someone too good to be true that when you face him, you can't help but question if his existence is real."Nice outfit."
Jungkook commented making her blush, although she know there is nothing more to his compliment, it's no shocker how their styles totally vibe.Their fans always speculate about them because of this, but she never really cared that much, but being in front of him makes her feel shy.
"My clothes are just like this all the time, I mean, it's not like I have a diverse fashion sense, but these are my to-go, I don't really think much, but don't think I'm undermining your look— I uhh, I talk too much."She heard Jungkook chuckled, she immediately hid her face with her palms.
"Bam always talks about you, but you seem more amazing in person."
"That guy... I bet he's been saying mean stuff about me, wait til I leak his childhood nude pics."
Words just slip out of her tongue, she didn't even realized she was having a good time with the boy idol. They found a bench to rest while talking about random stuff. For a while, Lisa forgot about her convenience store snacks.
"Lisa-ssi, do you believe in 11:11 wishes?"
"Not totally, but there's no harm in it so why not?"
Jungkook showed his phone to her, 23:11:09, the clock showed. For a moment she was confused, because Jungkook suddenly closed his eyes. She did the same thing with a sly smile she made a wish.
"What was your wish?"
Jungkook asked."It's a secret."
The guy laughed at her silliness, then he looked up at the sky. The moon shone bright that night, and hundred thousands stars were painted on that beautiful night."I wish to always be happy like when I'm staring at these celestial bodies. Looking at the stars does something to my heart."
Lisa can only look above in silence, with an unfamiliar sequence of heartbeats thumping on her chest. The guy beside her was humming a melody that soothed her troubled mind.
I wish for more of these moments to come.
-
The moon looks lonely
Like it's crying in the bright night sky
Even though I always know the morning will come
I want to stay in your sky like a star— Still With You (JJK)
