Embarrassed
Twinkle slowly opens her eyes…she starts wondering where she is…she scans the room and finds Jacob staring at his phone…she asks him what happened to her…
"You fainted…now that you're awake I'm leaving"
"wait...let me come along with you..."
"let the IV finish and come find me in my cabin"
and with that without looking back Jacob leaves the room...
twinkle wondering how to pass time... she opens kukuchat and cupidadmirer is online...she texts him...
SB: hey there...
CA: hi...what a surprise...you texting me first...
SB: don't be dramatic...
CA: what are you doing? isn't today supposed to be your first day of your new project?
SB: yeah...long story short... some other project got cancelled and the client I'm working with is upset...the last thing I remember is how I'm hungry and heard that he hasn't ate anything as well...so I was taking two lattes and four donuts and rest is kind of blurry and then I fainted and embarassed myself..and I guess he's here the whole time... I finally thought he's sweet..but he left me alone and spoke to so coldly... such a jerk... I get it he's upset but he doesn't have the right to treat people that way...
CA: zzzzzz
SB: ??
CA: if this is the short version I think I'm gonna sleep for couple of days if I heard the original story...
SB: not you too...
CA: sorry how's your health...
SB: I'm about to finish my IV drip... I'm gonna go back to his cabin...ask me one more time politely and if he doesn't listen...
CA: then what??
SB: I'll grab the latte and donuts and go to my room and start working on my own...one who doesn't listen to others have no right to eat other's donuts... especially when they're heaven...
CA: gosh are they that tasty...you make me wonder where you are ...
SB: see I can tease you... anyways ttyl...
twinkle heads back to Jacob's cabin...jihun gives her worried look but not to discourage her..he gives her a thumbs up...she nods and then gently knocks Jacob's door...
she finds Jacob busy looking at a pile of files eating donuts she bought him...
"enough of looking at me...better get started working on this next album"
"but what are these files"
"concepts suggested by the employees"
"you let your employees decide it?"
"I'm running out of ideas twinkle"
"isn't it why you hired me?"
"then go ahead and hit me up with your best shot"
"I've heard all your music till today... I get it that you're trying to help people heal through your music but"
"but?"
"your last album...who chose it for you?"
"one of our producers suggested it"
"were you happy doing it?"
"why does it matter... I gave them what they wanted..."
"but did you give them whole heartedly? here look...all the comments from your fans say that it's not you... it's not your style...we want you back..."
"what am I supposed to do?"
"show them who you are...express yourself through music...show your imperfections, insecurities...show them that you're no different from them..."
Jacob sits still lost in thought...
"Jacob??"
"but that would make me vulnerable "
"it's ok to be vulnerable and show that you're...but what's not ok is to sit and do something others want... it's your music ...your fans and your life Jacob "
"yeah whatever...you can leave now... I'll decide the theme and let you know tomorrow...go home"
"why do you always have to ruin things...anyway I'm out of here"
she grabs a donut before going...she closes the door and Jacob giggles at the way she just took the donut ...
I guess my heart is right...she did really push me out of my mind and actually made me think straight for once...
to a new beginning...
