The lights dimmed slightly as the roaring cheers of Blinks filled the venue, echoing with excitement. Jade, standing center stage, her microphone in hand, smiled brightly. The members of Blackpink—Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa—stood beside her, their faces glowing with pride and happiness.

"Thailand Blinks!" Jade began, her voice carrying effortlessly over the massive crowd. "I can't believe it's already the end of the second night!" The fans erupted into cheers, their excitement vibrating throughout the arena.

As Jade took a moment to soak in the energy, Lisa chimed in, speaking to the audience in her native Thai, which made the crowd go even wilder. Jennie and Rosé giggled, nudging Lisa playfully as she ended her statement with a shy grin.

"Tonight's been unforgettable," Jade continued, her tone heartfelt. "But before we say goodbye, I have to ask... how did you like The Boy is Mine?"

The arena erupted with deafening screams, cheers, and chants of her name, intermingled with excited cries of "We loved it!" Jade beamed, putting her hand to her chest as if to steady her overwhelmed heart.

"It was so much fun performing it for the first time," she admitted, glancing back at the other members. "But it wouldn't have been the same without these amazing girls standing beside me." The crowd roared again, this time chanting each member's name in turn.

Lisa stepped forward, tossing an arm over Jade's shoulder. "You did so well, Aeri," she said, using Jade's real name with an affectionate grin. "I think Blinks are obsessed with this song already."

"Right?!" Rosé added, leaning toward the microphone. "I heard some of you singing along already—how did you even know the words?"

Jisoo gave a playful shrug. "Blinks know everything," she said in Korean, making everyone, including the audience, laugh.

Jade grinned, holding up her hands to calm the crowd. "I'm so glad you liked it," she said warmly. "It's a song that means a lot to me, and performing it here for the first time, with all of you, makes it even more special."

Jennie, who had been quietly observing, stepped forward with a teasing smirk. "Jade, you haven't told them who inspired the song yet," she said, winking at the crowd.

Jade's face turned a soft shade of pink as she laughed nervously. "Oh, unnie, let's not get into that now," she replied, waving Jennie off. "This is about Blinks tonight!"

Lisa laughed, nudging Jade. "Sure, sure. But you did sing it with a lot of passion."

The members burst into laughter, and the audience joined in, some fans shouting playful teases about Mingyu from the crowd. Jade pretended to hide her face, making the other girls laugh even harder.

After a moment, she composed herself and turned back to the audience. "Seriously, though," she said, her tone more earnest now, "thank you for always supporting us, no matter what. It's your love and energy that makes every performance so meaningful."

The crowd erupted once again, chanting "Blackpink! Blackpink!" as the girls took a moment to wave and interact with fans.

Jade took a deep breath as the crowd quieted down slightly, her soft smile radiating gratitude. She stepped forward, raising her microphone to speak to the sea of Blinks in front of her.

"Blinks," she began, her voice warm but steady, "thank you so much for being here tonight. Your energy, your love, and your passion make nights like this so unforgettable. You've been amazing, and I can feel every ounce of your support, even from all the way up here on stage."

The crowd responded with cheers, waving their lightsticks enthusiastically. Jade's smile grew wider, her eyes glistening with emotion.

"Being on stage, seeing all of you, it reminds me of why we started this journey together as Blackpink. It hasn't always been easy, and we've faced a lot of challenges over the years. But through everything—our flaws, our mistakes, and the times we've fallen short—you've never stopped loving us. You've never stopped believing in us."

She paused, taking a moment to look around the arena, as if making eye contact with as many fans as possible. "Thank you for staying with us, for showing us unconditional love, and for reminding us that we have the best fans in the world. We don't take it for granted, not even for a second."

Turning slightly, Jade looked back at the other members, her expression softening even more. "And to my sisters," she said, her voice tinged with affection, "thank you for being by my side all these years. You've been my family, my strength, and my home. I couldn't imagine this journey without you."

Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa all smiled, their eyes sparkling with pride and love as they reached out to hug Jade. The crowd roared, clearly touched by the heartfelt moment unfolding on stage.

Jade turned back to the audience, raising her mic one last time. "We're here because of you, Blinks," she said with conviction. "And as long as we have you, we'll keep going. Thank you for everything."

Jade took a deep breath, her eyes scanning the crowd of Blinks as she stepped closer to the edge of the stage. The cheers and applause slowly died down as the fans noticed her expression turn more serious. She gripped the microphone tightly, her voice trembling slightly as she began to speak.

"Blinks," she started, her voice soft yet steady, "there's something I need to share with you tonight. First, I want to thank you for all your love and energy, not just today but every single day. You've made this journey so special for us, and I can't express how much that means to me."

The arena was eerily quiet now, the fans sensing the gravity of her words. Jade paused, her gaze briefly falling to the stage floor as she composed herself.

"This is hard for me to say, but I've been pushing myself a lot lately," she continued, her voice thick with emotion. "Some of you may have noticed that I haven't been performing at my best. I've tried so hard to keep going, to keep giving you everything I have, but... my health hasn't been in the best place for a while now."

Gasps and murmurs rippled through the audience, but Jade pressed on, her voice cracking slightly as she spoke. "I've come to realize that if I keep ignoring what my body is trying to tell me, things could get much worse. And I don't want it to reach that point. I want to be here for you, for Blackpink, for many more years. But to do that, I need to take care of myself first."

She took another deep breath, her free hand clutching her chest as if steadying her heart. "That's why, after a lot of discussions with the members and the company, I've decided to take a break from performing with the group until March. This time will give my body the rest and care it needs to heal properly."

The crowd erupted with shouts of concern and encouragement, but Jade's tears began to fall as she smiled softly, nodding in appreciation of their love. "I know this might be disappointing to some of you, and trust me, it breaks my heart to step away, even for a little while. But I hope you can understand that this is something I have to do. For myself and for all of you."

Jade turned to the members, her eyes filled with emotion as she addressed them directly. "To my sisters," she said, her voice quivering, "I know you will fill the stage in my absence. You're all so talented, so strong, and so incredible. Please take care of each other and take care of our Blinks."

The members looked at her with teary eyes, offering silent support as she wiped her tears and turned back to the fans.

"And Blinks," she continued, her voice now trembling, "I know you'll continue to support and love the girls with the same passion and energy you've always given us. Please cheer for them extra loud while I'm gone, okay? And don't worry about me... I'll be resting, healing, and getting stronger for all of you."

Jade's voice cracked as she added, "I'll miss you so much. But I promise, when I come back, I'll give you my very best. Thank you for understanding and for always being my source of strength."

The crowd erupted into cheers and chants of her name, their support echoing through the arena. The members quickly moved to embrace her, offering her comfort as the fans continued to cheer her on.

Jade took another steadying breath, her tears still lingering as she continued to speak, her voice now quieter but full of sincerity.

"And one more thing I want to share with all of you... something that's been really important to me," she said, her gaze shifting to the crowd once more. "I know some of you may have noticed... or heard... and I just want to take a moment to thank you for your support."

The fans' expressions shifted to one of curiosity and warmth, and Jade smiled softly, her heart swelling with gratitude. "As you all know, life is full of moments and decisions that shape who we are. And right now, I'm in a really happy moment in my life."

Her words hung in the air for a moment, as if she was letting them sink in. The fans leaned in, hanging onto every word.

"I want to thank you for supporting me and Mingyu," she continued, her voice full of love and appreciation. "This is a part of my life that I've kept private for so long, but it feels like the right time to share it with all of you, because you've always been there for me. You've supported me, not just as Jade the performer, but as Aeri, the person. And that means the world to me."

The audience erupted into cheers and applause, showing their unconditional love and support for both Jade and Mingyu. Jade's heart felt lighter as she continued, her emotions raw but full of warmth.

"I hope that, just as you love Jade, the member of Blackpink, you'll also love Aeri, the human being. I'm still the same person you've known and loved, and I hope you can continue to support me in every aspect of my life, just as I support you. You are my strength, my light, and I'm so grateful to share this journey with you."

Jade wiped a tear from her cheek, her smile growing stronger despite the tears. "Thank you for being there for me. Thank you for understanding. And thank you for allowing me to be both Jade and Aeri. I love you so much, Blinks."

The arena filled with chants of her name, the fans' voices echoing with an overwhelming sense of love and support. Jade stood for a moment, taking it all in, before she bowed deeply, thanking the fans one last time. As she stood back up, her eyes met with those of her members, who offered her their quiet, supportive smiles, their arms around her, reminding her she wasn't alone.

"I'll be back stronger and ready to give you my all, but for now, please keep supporting Blackpink and keep loving each other, just as you've always done," Jade said softly.

With one final look at the fans, she stepped back, the moment of vulnerability and strength hanging in the air as the night's concert came to a close.

Aeri my baby you don't deserve to suffer
