    Years ago, Bobby used to be one of the most famous k-pop idols. Playing with his band XYA, he was making millions. But well, soon the industry started talking a toll on him. Barely one meal a day, hours of training, pressure, tours and albums- it was overwhelming. He felt so trapped, more than ever.

    The only reason he stayed for next year was you. Two of you definitely had a thing going on. You were equally famous as him. But he chose freedom over you, he left the group and retired as a k-pop idol. Leaving the traumatizing experience behind.

    It took him some time to live normally and cast out of lights of paparazzi. He slowly but surely began to sleep, work and eat normal. Feeling more freedom than ever. And eventually, he found a new job- he became a manager for a k-pop band. To be exact- Huntrix. A group containing three girls- Rumi, Zoey and Mira. He treated them nothing like they treated him in industry. They were allowed to rest, chose when to preform, eat normal amount of food, train as much as they thought was enough. And yet, they were top group in the world. Everyone loved their music, and Bobby was one who took care of it all from behind.

    Few days ago, the whole group got invited to a party hosted for all the celebrities, taking place in Seoul. Bobby was included too. So four of them came today, he made sure to put on best clothes. The party was great, it was definitely something luxurious. Almost looking like a gala. The three women were somewhere talking to other artists.

    Bobby was standing by the wall, simply taking in the surroundings. It was nice to take a break from all the work. It all was nice until he spotted a familiar figure in the crowd. Was it…you? Everyone knew you too, now working as a solo artist- but still making big money out of it. Bobby kept looking at you, damn, it’s been years. He hasn’t spoke with you ever since he left and was sure every one from the group felt now bitter about him. To his unfortunate luck- you were standing almost next to him. And well, you saw him. The surprise on your face was something worth remembering. He wasn’t even sure if you’d recognize him- he changed. But damn you did.

    „Long time no see?”

    He said, his tone purely awkward. He wasn’t sure how you felt about him. He left the group exactly when two of you had feelings for eachother. But he hoped you understood why he left. Why he chose different path. And that you would want to still be on good relation.
