IN LOVE – Bobby Scenario
Inspired by In Love by Bobby.
Her day started quite bad as she had a lot of work to be done. She was shuffling throughout the office to settle her loads of works. She had to finish the report by today and it was not her fault that the report had to be done last minute. The person who was in charge for the report suddenly was out of reach and there was no one that could do the report perfectly other than her. Her boss was quite the perfectionist and he had seen her performance in making reports before thus he trusted her to do it. Her day that day was a hassle as she started it with a headache and a period pain! And here she was, in the office finishing the report that was not related to her at all. What could be worst than this thought her.
While she was doing her works, her phone suddenly lighted up, notifying her that there was a message from someone. She picked her phone up to check on the message. ‘Tonight. Don’t forget. You promised.’ was written on the screen. She sighed as she looked at the pile of papers on the table and smiled when she pressed the home button on her phone as a picture of her and him was displayed. Him. He was the only person that could turn her world upside down. He was the only person that could make her feel thousands of emotions. He was the only person that could make her smile even just by looking at his face.
Before she got the message, she was actually planning to not go, but she had promised him. After she got the message, she felt that he really wanted her to go. Maybe her absence would make him disappointed and no she did not want that, she did not want to disappoint him. Even when she was busy, she could do it if it was for him.
Yesterday, he told her that he would be singing at this one restaurant owned by his friend. His friend asked him for a favour to go and sing there, and he agreed as he did not have the heart to refuse him. After all they were quite closed. He kept on telling her to come to the restaurant at 9pm and she just nodded as she was watching her favourite drama at the moment. But that did not stop him because all he wanted was her promise . And she did it, she gave him her promise.
“Can I bring someone though?” asked her.
“Sure. Who will you bring?” responded him.
“Erm maybe Jongsuk? He is into watching people sing,” She replied while chewing some gummy.
“Sure, don’t be late,” said him.
Time passed by pretty fast as she was finishing her works. It was already 6pm when she had finally finished the report. Phew, she felt as if loads of burden just left her body. She decided to text Jongsuk to ask whether he could join her or not. After like moments later, he replied her by saying yes. And thus she decided to finish what could be finished before packing up to leave the office.
7pm. She was already inside her car on her way to Jongsuk’s apartment. She was so tired at that moment until she did not realize that Jongsuk had been knocking on the mirror for awhile.
“What were you doing? I have been knocking for a long time you know,” said him.
“Sorry, I was daydreaming,” replied her lethargically.
“Dang, you looked tired as hell. Are you okay?”
“Yeah I am fine. Do you know that we are going to watch Jiwon sings tonight?” asked her.
“Yeah, cannot wait to meet him. It has been a long time since I last saw him,” said Jongsuk excitedly.
The ride was pretty quite and not really smooth since it was a peak hour at that time. People were busy on their way to return to home from work. Luckily she decided to go now or else she thought she would not make it on 9pm. The restaurant was not that far, but the traffic had the power to make it seemed far.
8:45 pm. She had finally arrived at the restaurant. The restaurant was so unique as the design and decoration of the restaurant were pretty similar to a bar. You could feel yourself at a bar at this restaurant as it was the theme of the restaurant. A western restaurant with a classic bar’s design. Had she been to a bar before? Heck no, she just watched it from television. The owner or known as Kevin greeted her and Jongsuk. He assisted them to their table, oh it had been reserved. She did not know, and it was at the front, near the stage. ‘Must be Jiwon’s doing,’ monologued her.
As soon as she sat down, the waiter came to their seat and asked for orders. She quickly ordered and so did Jongsuk. After a while, a microphone’s sound could be heard. It was the MC.
“Welcome to La Train. Tonight we will be having someone, quite famous I must say. He will sing and entertain us with three of his songs. I now welcome Bobby to the stage!” shouted the MC. Plethora of hands clapping could be heard inside the restaurant.
The moment she heard his name, she felt very happy although she could not deny that she felt very weak and tired at that moment. She had used too much energy for that particular day. Her subordinates were too much, asking for unpaid leave without even finishing their works.
He started his performance by singing one of his songs which was called I Love You. She was enjoying his song while eating. Jongsuk on the other hand looked so excited as he sang along from the start until the end. She never knew that Jongsuk was into his songs this much. Heck? Since when did Jongsuk become like this? Thought her. After he finished singing I Love You, he started to sing the second song which was called Rest Your Bones. This was one of her favourite songs. She could see him staring at her directly until she felt like his stare could make a hole on her head. She felt uncomfortable by the way he looked at her. It was not that she hated it, it was just he was looking at her! Only at her in that crowded place. What if people noticed? Thus, she avoided his gaze by lowering her head and continuing eating and playing with the food as her appetite was slowly decreasing.
“Look up, he is looking at you,” said Jongsuk to her.
She then looked up, she could see his expression. Did he look disappointed? She was not sure. Did he look upset? She was not sure either. But she could say that he did not look okay. As the song ended. Here came the last song, and yeah it was one of her favourites too. In Love. She loved this song so much . Perhaps one of the reason was because she was in love with the person who sang this song? Yeah she thought so. She decided to look up as he never performed this song live before. However he said something before singing that song.
“I am singing this song for someone special tonight. Dear someone, this song is for you.” He said while picking the guitar up.
You never knew how I feel baby
When you kissed me you driving me crazy
Oh you made my life complete
Oh yes you do
She was speechless. No words could be uttered. No words could describe the way she was feeling at that time. He was looking at her. Particularly only at her. What the heck was he thinking? Was he trying to tell the whole world that he was hers. Was he trying to let the world know that she was his? She did not know what he was thinking at that time. All she knew was she was scared, scared of the public, scared of rejection. People did know about his status, that he was taken. But by whom? The world did not know that. She was not ready and he respected her for that. The song was coming to an end, and never in a second his gaze moved onto something else. It was like his eyes were glued to her, only her. She could feel that people started to notice the way he was looking at her was not just a pure coincidence. It was a sign, a hint by him. He was trying to tell something. His performance was not finished when the song ended. She was wondering, why the heck was he standing and holding the microphone if he was already finished. To her dismay, he stood up and said something that was so hard for her to process.
“My special person is here tonight.. I think some of you guys may notice who is that person, well maybe. Do you guys want me to reveal who she is?” asked him.
A loud cheers of ‘yes’ could be heard inside the restaurant. Myriad of the audiences were looking forward to his special person. But then he said,
“Sadly, she is not ready yet to be exposed, I really want to expose her to the world though. There are thousands of time when I really wanted to upload our pictures on my social media account but I could not do so. So my special person, are you ready to be exposed tonight? If you do, give me a smile and I would go to you. But if you don’t, you may glare at me, I don’t mind. You are my queen. I respect you as always.” said him, hopingly.
He was hoping that she would smile but he knew that would not happen. She was not the type of person who would agree on something like this without discussing first. He knew, she would be so mad. He knew she was mad at that moment. But, he could not do it anymore, he could not hide her forever from the spotlight. She was too precious, too special just to be hidden in his life. He knew he could get hurt by doing this, but he was okay, he respected her. It was not like he could not predict the outcome. It was so obvious that she would just glare at him for doing this.
She was taken aback by his words. She felt like her soul was already gone. The words that he spitted out was too much for her to accept. She did not know how to react. Should she smile? Or should she glare at him? She did not want to hurt him, she did not want to make him upset. She knew that his doing was selfish, but she was selfish too. All this time he had always respected her decision. He never said no. And she thought that this time, it should be her turn to respect him. He had sacrificed too much. She knew that whenever she said no to him regarding this matter, he was actually hurt. He tried to hide it, but he failed. She could see it. She knew that sooner or later, people would know. So what was the difference? It was just the matter of time. Thus she decided to flash her smile to him.
He was taken aback. Did she just smile? What was he supposed to do? Should he go to her? Heck yes he should go to her. She was smiling at him! He could not believe his own eyes. Was he hallucinating? He was sure he was not. He needed a confirmation for this. What if he was wrong?
“My special someone, are you smiling? I need confirmation,” he said through the microphone.
There, she smiled again. She flashed her smile at him. He could read her eyes! Her eyes were telling him to come and get her. Without wasting no time, he walked to her. She smiled and took one of his hand, showing people their intertwined hands.
