"blackpink jjang!" hoseok hyung exclaimed as the emcee announced the winner for this week. of course, with their most awaited comeback, it was impossible for them not to get an award from it.

"how you like that!" jin hyung sang. we all laughed in unison as he danced the final parts of the choreo. i wonder how jisoo noona puts up with him. beats me.

they were performing their encore stage, and i just can't help but to admire her so much. my girl lalisa has grew a lot ever since they had debuted in the industry. it's as if she doesn't mind her haters anymore, and it's a good thing i am thankful for. atleast now, she knows how to love herself and pay no attention to those who keep on bringing her down.

numerous things have changed, yet i am still captivated by her everytime she goes on stage. big eyes, small nose, and of course her pouty lips.

i remember as if it was only yesterday, when i got to see her up close when the award show ended. with the help of bambam of course, who hadn't had any choice but to just stay in my arms so that i would have enough seconds to wait and stare at her face.

i remember denying what i felt for her, and brushed it only as admiration. for years, i would just flirt with random girls and make up various excuses to stop talking with them.

i was a flirt to the idols' eyes, an innocent boy to some. the moment i got curious about lisa, i immediately asked her number through bambam, in an attempt to flirt with her. i was so sure that in a matter of weeks, i would drop interest as it was the norm for me. yet, she proved me wrong.

she was different from the rest, i couldn't pinpoint back then what made her stood out. but now, i knew that she was different because she was real. she's unfiltered, authentic, and unique. i can't just tell one reason as to why i fell for her, i just know she's different in so many ways. and i am lucky enough to be the man who walks beside her, and change my whole perspective in love.

i always thought i wouldn't be capable of loving someone, always feared the notion of love, yet she made it seem so easy.

the night i insisted bambam to trick lisa into coming with him for a night at the arcade, was the time i knew my feelings for her were growing. i could have stopped it from developing any further since im scared to love, yet im even more terrified of walking away from her.

it took months and months before she officially became mine. we faced lots of struggles along our relationship, but she was the one who encountered more. armys would bash her whenever shippers would post moments of us, and for a moment, i thought, what if i lay lowkey for a bit?

i did reconsider it for a few times, but she's not the type of girl that i should be ashamed of. it's our relationship anyway, and i am there to protect her. so as time passes by, i became more confident of showing my love for her. thai greetings, matching rings and outfits, indirect captions, similar gestures; name it all. i've done everything, and only those who choose to turn a blind eye are the ones who don't believe in our love.

"i'd say God bless you, but it looks like he already did," jimin stated out loud, peaking through tae's phone. "what the fuck is that shit, bro?" he continued in between laughs.

tae immediately locked his phone and put it in his pocket. his cheeks reddened as the other hyungs teased him.

"nugu sijyo?" jin hyung asked.

"no one."

"so you're over tzuyu now? time flies huh." yoongi hyung commented.

"or it's still her, we can never tell."

"whoever that person is, let me remind you that you are not getting her with those cheesy pick up lines of yours!" jimin stated.

"you should tell her things like, imma treat you right, but both the t and r are silent." he continued.

"or i was gonna take you to the movies, but they said no snacks allowed." namjoon hyung interrupted.

"this is why you have already a daughter, hyung." i said, causing him to raise his arms in defeat.

"what you all have stated were nasty, perverted pick up lines! always start with something innocent," jin hyung said, "for an instance, how about you know what's the last thing i do before i sleep? that's right, think of you." he continued.

"isn't it closing your eyes?" yoongi hyung answered, emotionless.

"i would never understand how jennie stops herself from smacking your mouth all day."

"same thoughts with jisoo putting up with your bullshits." he replied.

"STOB IT!" jin exclaimed. we were now all laughing, but it was hoseok hyung who laughed the loudest. "hyung, its STOP! S-T-O-P!"

"ya, jhope! stop teasing me! atleast i'm not someone who got smitten at a fan the during fan meeting!" laughter filled the room. ah yes, the girl wearing a flower crown. i wonder if she and hyung even got to text each other.

"alright everyone, back to taehyungie's loveshit. to sum up my point, stop with those cringey shits. aside from the fact that me and my chipmunkie are going strong in our relationship because of my not so innocent pick up lines, look at jungkook and lisa now! if i hadn't snatched his phone the first time he and lisa texted, and didn't type the words how are you going to scream my name then, do you think both of them would be happily eating each other up til now?" jimin stated. no shit sherlock.

few minutes later, when the giggling died down a bit and the topic shifted, tae headed towards my direction.

"jungkookie, congrats!" he said. "for what?"

"nothing, it's just that, i love how your relationship with lisa strengthens as months pass. you even met each other's parents now, and both of them are supportive of your love."

i flashed a smile, and mouthed the words thank you.

"since i am starting to like a new girl now, which i will tell to all of you when the time is right, i would like to confess something." he said, making me a bit nervous as to what he was about to admit.

"i kinda had a crush on lisa, ever since i got to see her perform on stage. i never intended on stealing her from you though, just wanted to tell you that i admire your girl so much to the point i had an innocent crush on her back then." he said.

"honestly, i felt happy when some people ship us and points out our similarities. but that was before you and her became official. once it did, i brushed off the idea of me and her."

i patted him on the back and let out a chuckle. "you think i didn't know?" i asked, while giving out a smile.

"mwo?"

"aish, of course i would sense it if someone likes a girl i happen to like as well. you know, competitive senses?" i answered. "but i never had any hard feelings on you, taehyungie. because it's you. i can never hate on you."

he smiled as he realized that i wasn't mad on anything he said. it's all in the past now, why would i hold onto it? plus, how can no one really be smitten into lisa? my girl is a complete package!

suddenly, the door bell rang and i walked towards to open it. there revealed lisa, in his oversized shirt and sweats, holding our son — leo, in his arms. how i wish next time, it would be a baby.

"hi baby!" she said, with excitement overflowing in her voice. she probably saw the comments circulating in the media about how people admire her stage presence and all. now, that's my girl.

she said her greetings to my hyungs and told them that the other girls were still in the van, or probably on their way towards our room by now.

we headed towards my room, and she lied down on the bed, with leo wandering on the floor.

"you were wonderful," i told her, as she slips her arms around my neck, lifting her face for a kiss. i grinned at her and put my arm around her waist.

"so, what horror movie are we watching today?" she eagerly asked.

"hm, you know what's more terrifying than that?"

"what?" she asked.

"the thought of losing you."

a sound was suddenly heard, and we saw how the books fell down to the floor. it seemed like leo was messing with it.

in an instant, lisa picked her up and started kissing him. "i guess even leo disliked your pick-up line." she jokingly said.

"bad cat." i said, with my face acting like i was hurt.

"ya, how could you say that to our son!" she argued.

"what if we just make a son right now." i replied as kiss her on the cheeks. she jokingly slapped me and laughed. she then turned on the tv and started searching for movies in netflix.

"come on, lie down with me. it's been a long day for you, performing non-stop with your comeback." i said. she put leo down once again, and buried her face onto my chest, as i gather her in my arms.

it then started to rain. i looked at the woman inside my arms, and thought, this is the woman i'll be marrying someday. the woman i'll say my vows to, have my kids with. settle down and grow old with. the woman whom i'll spend my last hours in life when im 110 years old, in her arms.

and with every drop of rain that hits the window, i can hear my heartbeat whispering her name. she is the air in my lungs and the words i speak. she is my whole world.

i choose her. and i'll choose her over and over and over again. without a pause, nor a doubt.

"i love you." she whispered as she raises her head a bit so she could see my face.

"i love you more, jeon lalisa."

in a heartbeat, i'll keep choosing her. i always have and always will love her, back to the moon and stars, forever.

THE END
