The encounter
11:25, 29 January 2024Yoongi stretched back on his chair and messed his hair. There's still more to go in the new song he is working on and the time read 1.11 am. 'May be it is enough for today.' He thought. He specifically designed this "mini-studio" in his house, so he could reach out to the equipment whenever he needs. He carefully shuts down everything for the day and left the room. Though he called it night still he is not feeling sleepy at all. Getting a glass of his favourite whiskey, Yoongi sat in front of the TV and switched on. Then he played one of the Award shows BTS attended in their early days. Of course he got himself the copies of all BTS performances in Award shows in Korea and international.
The performance was from 2016. 'We got 2-3 awards, I think. Or how many really?' Yoongi wondered. "Lets see" he rewind the video to see. Then something caught his eye, which he paused. "Oh, the Black Pink! They also got some". Yoongi watched BP performance and then how they received the awards. On receiving the second one, "Hah, this one is fun" he laughed as he remembered 'the infamous speech' of Lisa. He watched as the Thai girl struggled to give the speech in Korean with her unique accent. "Gwiyeoun!" Yoongi always had the same expression since the first time he heard this speech.
But the speech is not the only reason Yoongi remembered the day regarding BP. Now that he think about it, that was the first time he ever really interacted with a Black Pink and with the girl in the screen who made him smile few seconds ago. It was in the middle of award ceremony, Yoongi touched RM's shoulder, "Namjoonah, can I go to washroom for a second or should I wait?" he asked.
"Ani hyung, I think we don't have any nominations for now, you can go if you want." RM replied.
Hardest thing of any award show is not waiting to get an award, but finding the washroom. Backstage is a real battlefield. Organizers, crew, dancers, technical people, everyone running here and there like some ants. Yoongi couldn't walk 10m without bumping on to 4-5 people whom may have no idea about that at all. 'Let me please find a washroom before someone stomp on me' he prayed as look around. When he just saw the gents' washroom sign, someone bang their head on his shoulder hard.
"Ah Jinja!" words slipped as annoyed Yoongi turned around to look at the person. There was a blonde head, rubbing their forehead in pain, and big eyes looked at him. The eyes got bigger when they identify it is Suga.
"Joesonghamnida sunbaenim! Joesonghamnida!" the girl put her hands together and bowed few times.
"Oh, Lisa?" Yoongi was taken back by Lisa's apology. "Ani, ani. It's okay, D-don't apologize." he hurriedly said. That was the first time he saw her this close, and 'she's really pretty', he thought.
"I'm sorry sunbaenim, it's just too crowded, I should have paid more attention." despite his requests, she apologized again.
"No, no. Even I bumped into several people on my way. Just be careful, geuleom" Yoongi bid farewell and left. One word between, two idols from different companies can cause so many problems, Yoongi and Lisa both knew very well the importance of avoiding any such interactions. But no one knew that those big eyes visited him once again in his dreamland that night while he doze off.
Yoongi was in his studio in Hybe, when he got a call. "Yeoboseyo" he answered.
"Oh Sunbae, Give me few seconds, I'll be right there." he grabbed the mask and left the room quickly.
After few minutes, Yoongi entered the studio again with Taeyang of Big Bang.
"Sunbae, please feel comfortable" he showed the Taeyang to seat. "Do you need anything to drink?"
"Aniyo Suga, I'm okay. I'm more excited about your music than any drink. And anyway, how many times I tell you to drop that 'sunbae'. Just call me 'Hyung'. Aren't we close enough?" Taeyang joked.
"No, no. I'm doing it out of habit. I will say 'Hyung' starting from now, okay hyung?" Yoongi replied.
Time went by as they talk about their new song which producing by Yoongi.
"Ah Suga, You have no idea how many people I'm thinking I wish I can introduce you to. But another part of me tells me I should keep you only to me. Am I being selfish? I understand why Bang Si-Hyuk sajangnim is so sensitive when it comes to you. Look what he gave to you. If I were him, I would do the same. Just take it all. Just all!" Taeyang joked looking amazed by the studio.
Yoongi laughed shyly. "Stop it, hyung"
"So Suga, who you have in your mind for female voice of this?" Taeyang sat back and turned Yoongi.
"I think for hyung's voice, it's better to get someone with lower pitch. I actually didn't think about anyone yet other than hyung. What do you think hyung? do you know anyone that hyung talked about just before?" Yoongi winked and giggled.
"Yah, did I talk too soon? Are you hitting me with my own words?" Taeyang joked back. "Actually I have few people in my mind right now. But my problem is if our companies would be okay?" he scratched his chin.
"Hyung, they were okay for hyung and me to work together, right? So they will be okay. We can't ask for anyone from any other companies, hyung. It is going to be too complicated. From our company, I still can't think of anyone that would be perfect for hyung's voice. I don't know much of their talents since I was not in touch lately. And hyung, this is my first individual project since civil services. So I'm bit scared to do much experiments."
Taeyang nodded. "I understand Suga. We will decide the person first. Then I'll talk to our company."
"So who you think, hyung?"
"Lisa"
Yoongi bit his lip. Getting involved with BP in anyway would be a huge problem. "Who else?"
"That's all I have"
"Hyung!! You said you have few people"
"Honestly, few means just one. After I listened to you, I also felt I don't know much people either. I mean not that I worked with. On other hand, I have worked with Lisa, she is so talented, Suga. I wanted to collaborate with her again."
"But hyung, we need a vocalist, not a rapper. And hyung can do the rapping as well."
"Lisa is a good vocalist too. Now she improved so much. And she is someone you should really work with. Suga, internet will break if you two collaborate. Nevermind, I will think about this more and bring a good vocalist. Now, about rapping, I want you to do it. I gave up on rapping long time ago. I'm not a rapper anymore, Suga. And why should I rap when we have the best rapper in K-Pop?"
"Isn't it going to be too much for three people to collaborate?"
"Aniya, You have two vocalists and one rapper. I think it will be perfect. I'm going to bring you a vocalist, as I promised, so rapping is not going to overpower or anything."
"Okay then Hyung, I will trust you on finding perfect vocalist. Bring her hyung, or if I want to call them, let me know. I will contact them too."
"Sure Suga. See you next time then. Is Jimin here? I'll say hi to him on my way."
"Okay hyung, I'll take you there".
