With love, Bobby (KPOP)

5 - To a new beginning

Starting off from the very beginning is hard. Forgetting all the memories you've made with your other half, is nearly impossible. That's what Mark told me yesterday after we had a very long conversation.

He told me to forget everything, live as a different person and try to find happiness with a different group of people around me. It's of no use for me to live in the past and be sad forever. That is not what life should be. You're not going to blank your world out just because of one small thing. You, yourself have to live too. No matter what.

"Miss?"

The similar voice called me continuously until I realized I was holding up the queue. "One shack stack and coke please," I told my order to the young man.

I paid for my order and waited at the side. I was busy scrolling through my phone when someone accidentally banged on my shoulder.

"I'm so so sorry Miss. Are you okay?"

I looked up from my phone. I couldn't believe who it was. Is he who I think he is? No, he can't be. He possibly can't be. Before I realized, the same young man who took my order called for my order and I go ahead and grabbed it. The guy who banged me followed me to the seat available.

"I'm...I'm okay," I muttered and sat down. He took a seat in front of me.

"I'm so clumsy at times. I'm so sorry Miss, I didn't mean to," He apologised.

Right now, I couldn't look at him. I couldn't force myself to look at him because he reminded me of someone. When you tell yourself you want to start anew, there will be a time where your past pops out of nowhere. That time is now.

"It's okay, you can go now," I said. Please take your leave now, I can't bear to see you or even feel your presence anymore.

"You look so familiar. Wait, aren't you the new girl who just enrolled in the university?"

He's in my university? You must be kidding me. "I've always seen you walking with your guy friend around campus. You've been the talk to the campus lately,"

I remained silent, concentrating on eating my food. "So what's your name? I'm Chris," He reached out his hand.

Come on Ashlee, do something! Get yourself together! You can do this! "I'm Ashlee,"

I looked up at him, with large eyes as I saw his face. "BOBBY?!" I said. He frowned at my sudden reaction. "Excuse me?" I closed my eyes and shook my head. This must be a dream right?

"I mean, Chris right?" He nodded. "I'm sorry, I must have mistaken you as someone else whom I know of. I think I have to go now," I left my unfinished burger and drink at that table. I didn't bother to finish it.

From the beginning, I knew he looked like bobby. I thought it was my mind or sight playing around with me. However, when he sat directly in front of me, he really looked like him. At that instant, I felt like crying. All sort of emotions were running inside me. I walked as fast as I could to the apartment.

I didn't care who I was banging into or the crowd that is around me. I just wanted to go home, take a cold shower and forget whatever that had happened just now. It felt surreal.

Just as I was about to cross the road, someone pulled me by the waist. Both him and I fell down to the ground due to the sudden impact. We both looked at each other. "Ashlee! You would have gotten get into an accident if I weren't the one who saved you from the cars!" Mark said, out of concern.

"Huh? What happened?" I asked. Mark got up, pulling me up afterwards. "You didn't look at where you're going silly. What's wrong?"

"Nothing is wrong. I'm just tired, that's all,"

He nodded. "Anyway, the guys and I are going to have movie night at our apartment. Want to join? We have another friend that will be joining us later too,"

"I don't think so. I might be destroying the boys night that you guys might have," I passed. He slung his arm over my shoulder, pulling me closer to him. "Come on. You should loosen yourself up a little. Besides, it's been a long time since all of us hanged out together. I bet they missed you,"

I guess Mark's not going to take 'No' as an answer then. "Fine,"

"Seriously, you're the best," He said. We held hands and crossed the road. I looked at our hands intertwined together. That sudden skin ship wasn't what I had expected. I shooed that thought away as I couldn't wait to get back home.

[BOBBY'S POV]

It is Friday today and surprisingly, Mr Yang gave us a day off. It's the result of a satisfying monthly evaluation that we were tested on. Hanbin suggested that we would go to Lotte world for a day. However, Junhoe and Jinhwan protested saying that they'll be more tired with all the rides. In the end, the members decided to do whatever they wanted individually.

Since I had no plans, I decided to go out and take some fresh air. I decided to head to Starbucks since there weren't that much of a crowd at 9 in the morning. In addition, I could relax a little.

The bell rang as I entered the store. Jieun and Jiyoung, the regular baristas that I knew, smiled and greeted me. "Bobby oppa!" I waved and smiled at Jieun as I approached the counter.

"As usual, toffee nut frappucino," I ordered. "Hyung, you seem super depressed. Anything happened?" Jiyoung asked as he took my order at the same time.

"There's another survival show that I'm going to take part in. Practices are getting much more tougher now and I don't have that much of a rest," I used that as an excuse. The both of them knew that I had a girlfriend, but none of them brought that topic up.

"That CEO of yours is really cruel," Jieun commented. Her boyfriend rolled his eyes. "He's the CEO and whatever he does, it's all about the money pabo,"

Once Jieun finished preparing the drink, she continued, "You don't call putting up a person survival shows after survival shows not cruel?! Something is seriously wrong with you," She pushed his head a little with a finger.

"AISH!" He replied. "You two lovebirds are too cute," I smiled. "Anyway, thanks for the drink. I'll see you both later," He paid for the drink and went to the second level of that Starbucks.

There was a place at a small corner of them room, which is not surrounded by any tables and was just beside the window. I sat down and began sipping on the drink as slow as I could.

Minutes later, steps of high heels could be heard coming up. I looked up to see who it was. A familiar figure turned to my direction. Oh my goodness, it was Katie! "Katie?" I called her out. She looked at me with bewildered eyes. "Bobby? OMO!" She ran towards my seat, being careful of the hot coffee that she was holding on. The empty seat in front of me was now occupied by her.

"It's been a long time since I've saw you!" She said, inspecting my face. "You've gotten much more handsome!" I laughed at her remark. "It's still the same," I replied coolly. "Anyways, what are you up to?" "Well, we're preparing for our final year project. So, I'm pretty busy these days. Have you heard from Ashlee yet?"

I gulped. "I have been sending her e-mails but she hasn't reply to any of it," I sighed. "Have you been talking to her?"

Katie's expression changed when i asked her that. She would have am I right? "Y-Yeah, I've been exchanging e-mails to her. She's doing well," She simply replied. My heart cringed a little when I heard that reply of hers. Why is Ashlee talking to her best friend but not to her own lover? Why is she hiding things from me?

"Is she living alone?" I gritted my teeth while asking. My hand, holding my cup if coffee was about to burst. The anger that I had inside of me, was indescribable.

"She's living with her male best friend, Mark Tuan,"
