Aera

Move Over Cinderella

"Annyeonghaseyo!"

"Blinks, I'm so excited to see you guys!" I talk to the camera with a smile.

We were all currently on the plane before take-off. I got a window seat while I sat next to the oldest manager we have. My members were all in the other rows sitting next to each other.

I was the only one isolated but I was also not complaining. Being a nervous flyer, I requested I sit next to our manager. I don't know why, but I always felt a bit safer and calmer when I had a grown adult next to me on a flight. 

I know if we were going to have a plane crash there was nothing the adult could do for me but it still eased my thoughts to have them there next to me for anything.

Also, I need to stop thinking about us crashing!

"You guys know I hate flying right?" I whisper to the camera while I look around the plane nervously.

"But, here I am!... On a plane!... So I can travel and meet you guys..." I slowly voice out.

Dropping my smile and turning to the camera seriously... 

"pray for me"

...

Turning the camera off I look to my manager, "why are we filming again?" 

"So we have footage for the future project" He states while he makes himself comfy and stretches his legs out.

He also seemed happy to sit next to me because talent always got the best seats on the plane.

"What project?" I ask while I search for my sleeping pills.

"If your movie goes well, we're in talks of a documentary with Netflix" He answers while he begins texting on his phone.

"Hmmm..." I mumble.

Back when I first heard about Netflix wanting me to be in the movie, I was told this would open more doors for Blackpink... I guess this documentary was what they were referring to.

But... if the movie did bad... then that would mean no documentary...

...

Yeah, no pressure or anything... 

"That still months away, don't sweat it" My manager reminds me while he begins closing his eyes to relax.

"And focus on the tour" He adds.

I nod and think about earlier today.

...

We had officially kicked off our "In Your Area" Tour in Seoul.

The girls and I had prepared a lot for it, and to see all the Blinks today singing and dancing was definitely worth it.

Blinks have a way of bringing an uncontrollable smile and flutter to my heart whenever I get to see them happy in the crowds.

...

Sometimes I wonder if we're doing enough for them...

...

It's crazy how much they stream or buy whatever we put out... Meanwhile, all we do is put on a show with a few fan meets...

I don't know...

It just feels like that's not enough.

Reading their comments or secretly going on Twitter, it was always a shock to see how many messages we get from them.

Recently, I've read comments referring to "knights".

It was knights this... or knights that...

I had no clue what this meant or what they were referring to but I made a mental note to ask my members if they knew later on.
