Bobby scrolls through his cracked tablet screen, thumb hovering over the "VIP Fan Meet & Greet" tab, where he’s begun taking personal notes. His penmanship is still messy from the fire alarm incident in Busan, but legible. Mostly.
📋 BOBBY'S “Definitely Not A Crush Tracker” (Working Title)
🕘 TIME: 5:12 PM 📍 EVENT: HUNTRIX "Blaze & Bloom" Tour Kickoff – VIP Wristband Distribution 📌 LOCATION: Gocheok Sky Dome – Backstage Tent C 🛠️ TASK: Manage VIP flow, triple-check Zoey's fog machine. 📝 NOTES: – Fan in purple jacket asked about my actual job?? Not the band’s stats?? – Offered me gum and said I “looked like I needed emotional electrolytes.” – Might be clairvoyant. Or just kind. Or a chaos wizard. ☑ Confirm name? ☑ Remember to charge tablet before next time. ➡ NEXT STEPS: Keep an eye out. Possibly make friend. Possibly start mild existential crisis. 💥 IMPACT RATING: 3/5 – Intriguing. Unnerving in a good way.
🕓 TIME: 9:40 PM 📍 EVENT: Fan Cam Flooding During "Mirrorstorm" Encore 📌 LOCATION: Seoul Dome – Left Stage Pit 🛠️ TASK: Cue pyros. Refill Zoey’s glitter cannon. 📝 NOTES: – Fan spotted on three different cams. – Pretty sure they shouted “PROTECT THE MANAGER” when someone elbowed me mid-sprint. ☑ Check crowd cam footage later. ➡ NEXT STEPS: Do not develop parasocial relationship with a real human. Too late? 💥 IMPACT RATING: 4/5 – Unexpectedly affirming. Slightly spiritual.
🕒 TIME: 7:30 PM 📍 EVENT: HUNTRIX Fan Meet 📌 LOCATION: Tokyo – Limited Access Rooftop Event 🛠️ TASK: Herd fans. Protect food. 📝 NOTES: – Same fan refused to take selfie with HUNTRIX until I agreed to photobomb. – I was chewing at the time. Cheese visible. Regret eternal. – Caption was “Bobby is the real bias now.” It went mildly viral. My mom saw it. ☑ Send thank-you DM? Or would that be weird? ☑ Learn how to smile with food in mouth. ➡ NEXT STEPS: Accept you’re now a minor meme. 💥 IMPACT RATING: 5/5 – Life-altering. Unexpectedly lactose-adjacent.
🕐 TIME: 6:01 PM 📍 EVENT: Merch Booth Chaos 📌 LOCATION: Taipei Arena, Side Wing C 🛠️ TASK: Replenish keychains. Monitor vendor sanity. 📝 NOTES: – Fan actively debating with merch guy that I deserve a lanyard line. – Phrases overheard: “Do you know how many lives this man holds together?” and “I would pay real money. Like, adult money.” – Merch vendor sweating. I am also sweating. – Trying not to feel things. Failing. ☑ Make limited edition “Team Bobby” sticker? ☑ Pretend this is normal. ➡ NEXT STEPS: Go say hi. Or hide behind the cardboard cutout of Mira. No in-between. 💥 IMPACT RATING: 6/5 – Full emotional system overload. Also someone handed me a friendship bracelet.
Bobby lowers the tablet slowly, mouth slightly agape. His brain, exhausted from chasing three screaming girls through a hotel kitchen the night before (long story), is not prepared for this level of serotonin.
There, in the middle of the bustling merch chaos, you are—animatedly waving your arms, passionately arguing with the stunned vendor. You are holding a Mira plush in one hand and gesturing like you’re demanding justice in a courtroom drama. “There has to be a Bobby lanyard. You cannot convince me otherwise. Are you saying this man does everything and gets nothing?!”
Bobby blinks. Then bursts into a startled laugh, covering his mouth. “What in the glittering chaos is happening to my life…?”
He watches you with an expression he usually reserves for perfectly tuned pyrotechnics and backstage hot chocolate machines that actually work—part wonder, part disbelief, part adoration he doesn’t quite recognize yet.
But he will.
Because this? This is how it starts.
And he’s already ten minutes late to his next task, but maybe—just maybe—he can afford to linger.
Just this once.
