Eyes Closed (Chaelisa)

Chapter 6

Rosé POV

I woke up feeling excited today. Today was the day of our concert. We worked hard for this and I'm excited to sing the song that I prepared for Blinks.

We were all a bit nervous but the moment we heard the Blinks shouts and saw that amazing sea of pink (lighsticks) we felt our bloods boiling from excitement. I was happy.

Our performances all went without a hitch. Now it's time for my solo stage. I started walking to my designated spot carrying my electric guitar. This guitar was given to me by a Blink and I was really happy to receive it. I immediately started trying to learn how to play the electric guitar. I can now finally show them that I can play the electric guitar.

I took a deep breath and felt that I was a bit nervous. My hands were a bit sweaty. Before I started singing, an image of a person sneaked into my head. It's her again, Lisa. I opened my mouth and began to sing.

"I, I know where to lay
I know what to say
It's all the same
And I, I know how to play
I know this game
It's all the same

Now if I keep my eyes closed she looks just like you
But he'll never stay, they never do
Now if I keep my eyes closed she feels just like you
But you've been replaced
I'm face to face with someone new..."

Did I just, did I just sing "she" instead of "he"? I gotta correct this. I sang "he" correctly on the latter chorus part of the song. I hope they don't notice I used "she" on the first chorus. This is her fault, her face kept popping up in my head and I couldn't get her off my mind.

I left the stage and saw Lisa looking at me. She was preparing for her solo stage so the staff were helping her finalize her look (clothes, make up, etc). Her face was directly looking at me and I felt like she wanted to say something and that she was waiting for me to come over. She didn't say anything but that's what I felt like. It must be because we've been bestfriends for years now and we can understand each others thoughts and feelings without talking. I put my guitar down and went over to Lisa.

"Lisa, dance your heart out. Okay? Show them what you're made of." I smiled at her.

She looked me in the eyes. It felt like eternity but it must have been about 3 seconds in reality.

"Chaeng-ah, you were amazing. I knew you'd do great. That was my favorite out of all the performances you did." She smiled back.

I felt a blush starting to take over my face. So I tried to hide it by being playful. I jokingly hit her in the arm and say "Thank you Lisa".

One of the staff comes to tell Lisa that she's about to go on stage. She jokingly hit my arm to and tells me "Wish me luck!" before she runs off to her position on the stage.

I walk up to Jisoo-unnie and Jennie-unnie who are preparing for our next set of performances.

"Pasta Rose! Your song was perfect!" Jennie-unnie says and hugs me while Jisoo-unnie nods her heads in exaggeration.

"Aniyo aniyo, thanks unnies. I hoped the Blinks like it too." I say.

"I'm sure they will." Jisoo-unnie reassures me.

As we were preparing, we were watching Lisa's performance through the tv placed backstage. I could only say that her performance was perfection. Lisa was showcasing her talents and I could see how effortlessly beautiful she was. Her dancing was graceful yet sensual. We were happy from the bottom of our hearts that she could finally showcase her dance. We knew that she had always wanted to dance but she was never given the opportunity, the dances for our songs were to easy for her. I hope Lisa is happy too.

<concert continues>

The concert is finally over. It was tiring but we really had fun. Tomorrow we'll hold another concert here again. I'll make sure I'll sing correctly tomorrow otherwise it might be too obvious.
