Amber's POV

"(yawn) Ugh!" I whined loudly as I suddenly heard people screaming from outside

   "Miss Liu! Can we talk?!"
      "Amber! Let's talk!"
  "Can we interview you?!"
         "Yah! Miss Amber! Let's have a talk!"

  I swear...that was the worst part of my morning.
  Being wake up by all those paparazzis and reporters made me feel dizzy as I also felt that my couldn't even stand up properly 

  I opened the TV and saw news of me and Krystal on every channel, "Amber and an unknown girl dating?"
  "Is Amber dating a girl?", "Who is this mysterious girl?", "Is Amber lesbian?", "Amber Liu dating a trainee?"

  What should I do now? 

  As my mind begun to being drowned by thoughts,Krystal flew in my head, "Right...I should tell her about this as soon as possible"
  But as soon as I came to her,she didn't know anything about this...she begun to ask me different questions until I told her to open the TV
     
  My heart rage was unstable and I didn't know what to do...then I finally found an idea to protect her, "Maybe...we should stop seeing each other for a while" I calmly suggested while not daring to look at her eyes
  She suddenly dramatically turned to me and frowned, "W-What? Did you r-really said t-that?"
  I slowly nodded and piped "It's just going to be for a short time-"
  But then,she unexpectedly burst out all her tears from her eyes and whined, "Short?! Like when you stayed in a state of coma for almost years Amber?! Don't you still know how I felt?!"
   I gulped while looking at her saddened eyes, "I-I almost w-wanted to end i-it Amber...If you didn't make it,I-I just-" she fell on her knees while crying her heart out, "I d-don't want to l-lose you like that...again" she sobbed

   That moment I felt...weak.
   I've never saw her so...vulnerable,she was another Soojung

    I leisurely bent myself down and roughly grabbed her arm, "Stop crying Krystal" I firmly said 
    Her eyes widened at my sudden action and I began to feel her shaking a little bit, "K-Krystal. It's just going to be a few months"
    I tried to smile to comfort her and hugged her tightly as I'd hug my own life, "I-I'll miss you Soojung-ah."
    I rubbed off her last tear again from her eyes and kissed her and as I stopped my self,I finally chirped "For now,I will stay quiet about this situation and-"
 
    *Chu~*

    She nodded and suddenly stole a kiss from me, "I will miss you too dork"
     

    As I walked away from her room,I felt my legs weak but this is just the right thing to do

   I began to pack all my things but suddenly my phone started to ring, "Hello?"
   "Hello? Hyung! It's mee~" a recognisable voice whined on the phone, "J-Jongin-ah!" I replied back
    "Why did you call?" I asked...It's weird that he is calling me. He rarely calls me these past days
    He coughed a bit and groaned "I saw some news of you and Krystal on TV. You two are everywhere even on the news paper"
   "What are you two doing now?" He asked worriedly as I calmly replied, "We will not see each other for a while"
      
Krystal's POV
    After Amber left my room,I wanted to go back home and rest for a bit but that means that I have to stop training...
    I called Jessica unnie and quickly asked if she could pick me up, "Before I pick you up Soojung-ah,I saw the scandal about you and Amber. What's happening?" She questioned
    "I'll tell you later unnie,can you come now?" 

  My feet leisurely ambled outside my room as I locked it and made my way to the elevator where I familiar back met my eyes
  I walked forward and saw who was it 
  She didn't looked at me straightly but I felt her stealing some looks at me

   *Ting!*

   The elevator finally arrived and Amber went in first without even saying a word

    Silence.

Amber's POV
   *Thump!Thump!Thump!-*

    Damned it stupid heart! 

   My hands began to sweat at the thought of Krystal being next to me...I have to try harder and ignore her but my heart wouldn't listen to me
    I just wanted to hug her....tightly and never let her go but this situation isn't easy for both of us

    "I only have 1 floor left to talk to her" that's what my heart was saying but meanwhile my mind was saying another thing,"Ignore her.Ignore her.Ignore her.Ignore h-"

     
     I lost it. My heart won over my mind

    With a quick movement,I tenderly pecked her sweet lips
    At first it wasn't nothing. Just an innocent kiss, but her arm travelled around my neck almost when unexpectedly...

     *Ting!*

     "Ground floor"

      Oh .

      Why now?!

    That moment I didn't want to stop,but I had to.

    I let go of her, adjusted my clothes and my hair thengot ready to get out stealing a last glance from her before I slowly disappeared into the crowd of reporters and paparazzi 
     

      I.am.going.to.miss.her.

      Damn
     

Krystal's POV
    My eyes saw Amber slowly disappearing...I decided to not use the main door and just get out of here by using the emergency one where I got surprised by my sister already waiting outside, "Soojung-ah! Here!" She waved at me

     She started the engine and began to drive me home

   The ride was quiet, she didn't ask me anything about this situation when suddenly when we almost arrived at home...."Soojung, can you tell me what's happening?"

    I heaved a sigh before finally tell her what's actually happening between me and Amber, "Well, basically...some paparazzis and fans always saw us together and they started to create some rumors about us dating."
    She raised an eyebrow and eyed me intensely. Her facial expression was really confused as she said "But that's the truth. You are dating,right?"
    I nodded and gulped, "Well...yes but this situation is kind of difficult. It might affect each other's careers-"
   She rolled her eyes in frustration and loudly breathed out annoyingly, "That's so stupid. If you love each other, why should you separate once again?"
   For a moment,I felt like....she was right. But I didn't say anything, just thought about what she said
   She looked at me for a second and continued "But that's your decision...do what you feel, okay?"
   I nervously nodded but in the meanwhile I was thinking about something really different...

     
    "Omo?! Is that our daughter?!" Mom said to Dad after she heard our steps getting closer 
     My dad's eyes widened while his expression changed, "S-Soojung-ah??"
    His face was surprised but he shrugged it off and welcomed me with a big and comforting hug while mom looked at us warmly, "Awww...look at them Sooyeon-ah~ this is just like a real family"

Jessica's POV
     Mom suddenly decided to break the warm vibe as she asked, "By the way baby, why did you come back? I thought you were training" 
  
   She still doesn't know anything

    I coughed out loud trying to push away this weird situation by roughly interrupting their conversation, "Eehmm! M-Mom? Why don't we leave Soojung so that she can rest?"
    Mom nodded and smiled while accompanying her to her room

    Now, it was just me and my dad who was staring at me suspiciously, "Tell me Sooyeon, what actually happened? Why did Soojung come back? Is there something wrong?"
    "E-E-Hmmm-mmh" I stuttered as I rubbed the back of my neck, "Jessica Jung Sooyeon. Tell.Me."

      Damn it...in the end, I got caught 

       
    "...so that's what happened? Just because of the netizens?" He asked in a serious way
    I nodded as I chirped, "Y-Yes...but please dad, don't get mad at Amber. She didn't do anything, they just need time-"
    "I know Jessica, but I think that you really are right."

      . . .

Amber's POV
    It's been like....... 3 months since I last saw Krystal
  
    We didn't have any contact also because Lee Soo Man didn't want it.

   "Yo Amber, what are you doing here alone?" Key asked while passing by the practice room 
   He sat on the floor with me as we both eyed ourselves on the wide mirror of the room, "J-Just.......(sigh) thinking."
   "Krystal right?" He confidently said while sighing too
   I nodded while tightening my fist as I slowly curled up myself when suddenly I felt my shoulder warm, "Yo Amber, just wait okay? Until Lee Soo Man PD-nim allows you to finally reveal your relationship with Krystal"
    

     "I think you're right"

PS: sorry for making you wait so long but I've truly been too busy uhuhuh🙄
