"B Y E! B Y E! B Y E! B Y E!"
Oh wow, the crowd is really going wild tonight! Some of them were singing the lyrics of 'Soldier' and 'Strangers', these guys are really loved by all of the people around the world and they really deserve all this. In fact, they deserve this more than anyone else. Yojan and I have witnessed how hardworking these guys are, we can see how much love they have for music and also for their job. They put love and sincerity in everything they do, and I think that's really sweet. And of course, they would not have gotten this far if it weren't for their fans all around the world! They have been very supportive of the boys since day one and I'm one of them, Yojan is too. I mean, who could ever not love these dorky yet beautiful men?
"We love you, Before You Exit!!!"
Yojan and I exchanged glances then muttered, "We do, too." As we giggled together, we heard the boys yelling altogether. They must have finished their prayer and decided to go out there to not keep the fans waiting. Riley winks at Yojan with a cheeky smile while Yojan rolled her eyes on him, followed by Connor and the rest, the crowd had gone even more wilder. But Toby stopped right in front of me, he rubs the tip of his nose and slowly walks to me.
"You can just watch from here," he whispers with a smile.
"Is that okay?" I asked as he nods his head up and down. "I'll be right here then, with Yojan."
Toby smiles once more before disappearing in front of me and jumped to the stage. Fans have started screaming at the top of their lungs, jumping on their feet as they sing along with their favorite band. Yojan laces her arm around mine, nudging me a little bit so I looked at her. "I know, I know.. isn't Riley so handsome?" I teased and she playfully pushed me away as I laugh.
"I'm not like that, but I won't deny the fact that my boyfriend is looking so very handsome tonight." She chuckles, "Anyway! What's up with you and Toby? You have been acting like lovers! Is my ship finally sailing, huh?" Yojan teases while raising her eyebrows up and down at me with a snicker.
"Cut it out, it's not!" I replied. "Toby just thinks of me as a friend.. or a student of his still, because he was my teacher before right?" I giggled.
"Enough of that, it's already all in the past! What I'm talking about is the present here, are you and Toby dating? I mean he never looked at you that way ever before, Evette. It was a bit unusual that Toby hugged you like that, doesn't he usually let go of you right away?"
Yojan is right, why haven't I noticed that? Toby does not hug me as tight and long as that before. Did he miss me that much?
"Could it be.. Toby likes you too?!" Yojan squeals.
"That can't be!" I exclaimed, then returned my eyes on her with a face as red as an apple. "Too?! How did you know l-"
Yojan was wagging her index finger in front of me with a smirk on her face. "I knew it from the start," she mumbles.
"What?"
"That you like Toby." She smiles, "Oh come on there's no use hiding it from me! I'll eventually find out anyway. Asking Toby in guiding you on how to be a proper lady, that's all just a lie and an excuse to get close to him. You fell in love with Toby at first sight, just like how I did with Connor years ago."
"Why didn't you tell me anything?"
"Because you're too in denial." Yojan rolled her eyes on me and crossed her arms above her chest. "Even if I tell you that, you will not believe me. You won't admit it to yourself that you're in love with Toby, perhaps you had been hurt several times before and that scarred you. Maybe that's why you suppressed your feeljngs for him, you were afraid of getting hurt. Especially since Toby had a girlfriend that time," she adds in.
