Worth the Shot - JENLISA collection

solo (T)

behind the scenes but in taglish? :)

"And to my girls... Jisoo, Rosé and Lisa. I love you three so much. Thanks for supporting me all throughout," I finished my speech by thanking my members. "Really felt like a shining solo with your support. Mahal na mahal ko kayo."

I was trying so hard to contain my tears because it's my first win as a soloist, and my members are backstage, patiently waiting for my encore stage to end.

Napatili ako at hawak sa dibdib when a loud bang welcomed me back to my dressing room.

When I recovered, I glared at my members and staffs who are all grinning at my startled face but I pouted seeing the cake Lisa is holding and the confetti's falling down on the ground. They were cheering me, some were filming.

"Congratulations Jennie unnie!" niyakap agad ako ni Rosé. They were all clapping, congratulating me.

"Iiyak na 'yan!" pang-aasar ni Jisoo.

"Iiyak na 'yan" sumabay si Lisa, tapos paulit-ulit nang sinigaw ng lahat. Mga pasimuno talaga.

I squeezed my eyes shut to get rid of the tears, then laughed, "I hate you all! Masisira make up ko hindi pa tayo nagpipicture lahat!"

"Inendorse mo tapos hindi mo alam na waterproof 'yang make up mo?" biro ni Jisoo.

Tawang-tawa naman sila.

"Make a wish muna, Jen," pabulong na sabi ni Lisa, smiling warmly at me.

Ngiti mo na 'yan, e. Syempre wala na akong ibang mahihiling pa.

Charot one-sided nga pala 'to.

So I closed my eyes and made a wish.

Ikaw.

"Galing mo kanina..." nakangiting sabi ni Lisa habang paakyat kami sa dorm namin, "Unnie."

Actually, since it's my solo debut I'm still busy with my promotions while the three are on rest these days, kaya sina Jisoo at Rosé umuwi sa family nila. Only Lisa will be staying with me in our dorm, kahit na kakabili niya lang ng sarili niyang unit sa mas mataas na floor.

"Thanks," my cheeks heated up with the way she's looking at me.

"Okay na sana, but I was the last one na pinasalamatan mo sa speech mo," she jokingly whines, "Who knew I'd lose rock paper scissors over Rosé?"

Natawa ako. "Minaliit mo kasi, e. Okay na 'yun, at least special kasi last."

"Sabagay," she wraps an arm around my shoulders as the elevator opened. "Pero seryoso. Proud ako sayo, Nini."

My throat dried up.

"T-Thank you rin, ah? Ang aga niyo pa gumising kanina..." my heart was beating so fast as we walked to our dorm, nakaakbay pa rin siya sakin.

"Anything for you."

And with that, she opened the door to what made my heart speed up even more.
