BLACKPINK futureV2

The rehearsal hall smells like hairspray, coffee, and toddler snacks. The sound techs are setting up, the moms are stretching, and in the corner — chaos reigns. Sora adjusts her sunglasses (plastic, pink, crooked). “Judges, take your seats!” she announces in a dramatic voice she definitely learned from her mom’s dramas. Jennie’s twins scramble into their chairs, giggling. Noah’s already coloring on his score sheet, adding hearts and stars. Lisa peeks over from the stage. “Alright, Mini Blinks, you ready?” Nari bangs her juice box on the table. “SLAY!” The music starts. Rosé twirls, her voice rising like sunlight. Lisa spins, hair whipping. Jisoo hits her pose with perfect poise. Jennie flips her hair and gives the judges a wink that sends Jae and Nina into shrieks of laughter. Sora taps her pencil on the table. “Hmm. Good synchronization. Nice energy. But… Mommy Jennie cheated — she winked.” Jennie gasps dramatically, hand over heart. “You can’t call me out like that!” “Minus points for bribery attempts,” Sora says solemnly. Lisa snorts. “She learned that from me.” You hold your scorecard close, pretending to deliberate. Every eye (and tiny eye) in the room turns to you — the final judge. Rosé grins from the stage. “No pressure, sweetheart. Just… my entire confidence depends on you.” The music fades. The air hangs thick with laughter, suspense, and crumbs from a crushed cookie. Sora leans forward. “Okay, [your name] — what’s your score?”
