Amber's POV

That night, we rushed to Yuri's house and ate dinner with them. We told Dani about the new tenants in our house informing them about what happened that day. Dani was a little hesitant and i understand her because she's not used to new people, with the exception of Soojung of course. She said she'll try to be friendly with Do-yeon and Shannon since they will be living in the same house and studying in the same school.

Yuri saw the uncertainty in Dani's eyes. I know Dani, she sometimes gets jealous when new people arrive and no one dotes on her anymore. My cousin offered her house since she has 4 rooms and she only use one. She can give 1 room each for the girls and they can take care of the house in exchange. Soojung said she'll inform the girls about it tomorrow.

Dani was clinging to Soojung like a kid when they were alone by the pool. The lights in the backyard reflecting in the water while they dip their feets on it. I talked to Tia and she said she's cool with it because they will have new acquaintances.

I can see how Soojung talks to Dani like how a mother talks to her daughter. Dani is listening to her while looking at her reflection in the water. I took a gulp of my beer and watched them made a pinky promise to each other laughing. The way their face lights up when they laugh.... It's the same. Like Soojung looking at the mirror and seeing herself looking back. I blinked my eyes, maybe it's the effect of beer.

Stupid Amber. This is your second can, you're not even halfway on it.

The similarities are very disturbing. There is definitely some blood bond with these two girls. I can feel it, just by looking at them. Add Jessica and it's complete.

What if it's true? Will Dani accept it? Her being an illegitimate sister of Soojung and Jessica? I need to confirm the questions in my head later with Soojung. We need to sort this out as soon as possible.

We. It gives me a giggly feeling saying We.

We. Me and Soojung.

Wow. It always feels good whenever I use that word describing us, introducing us.

I had a glimpse of her smile and I think I went to heaven just by seeing it. Damn. I got it bad like Yuri.

Even a simple smile can make my knees tremble, a bite in her bottom lips makes my hormones go up in the next level. Her cute pout when she doesn't get what she wants makes my heart warm. Makes me want to envelop her in my arms and just squish her cheeks and devour her puckered rosy lips.

Meeting her changed me. I'm more approachable now, Yuri said. She said I smile more, like real smile and not just for show smile. I learned how to deal with people who wants an autograph from her especially kids. Sometimes I act as the photographer and take their pictures.

Kids. They are cute and cuddly, but when they start to whine and cry, throw fits and tantrums that's the moment I don't like them. Messy, noisy, moody. They sleep, eat, pee, poop, throw up, cry. Uggggghhhh. I can't handle them.

Soojung loves kids. That's one of our difference and I respect that and she too. Majority of her fans are kids and teens same age as our adoptive daughters. Whenever a cute kid will approach her for an autograph and photo she will gladly entertain the kid and even hugs and kisses it. She likes talking to them and playing.

There was one time that we are having a jog in the neighborhood park. She saw some kids playing in the sand box, Soojung approached them and played with them. I just let her play and laugh with the kids while I seat on the swing. I remember what she said before, the reason why she loves kids.

She said she always wanted a dongsaeng since she's the youngest. Because she doesn't have any playmate back then. It was always trainings and studying. Jess can't play with her because she's also busy with school and training. Back in Canada, she sometimes sneak outside their house and go to a park where she can play with little kids. Sometimes she volunteers in orphanages and takes care of them. Her Dad found out about it and prohibited her from coming again in the orphanage because she has to focus on her training.

All she wanted was a younger brother or sister but her parents can't give it to her. Then her mother found out that her Dad had an affair years before.. back when Soojung was still small. Mrs. Jung found out about it after the incident of Jessica running away with Yuri to L.A. and hiding in our apartment with Jackie. That's when their family fell apart, Soojung said. They came to a decision to separate and let her and Jessica live with their mother. Their father lived separately from them but still manages Soojung's skate training.

"Affair...her father had an affair.." I mumbled to myself while watching them chat. Dani stood up from the pool and helped her Soojung unnie stand up. She said good night to us and made her way to her room. Tia was long gone to dreamland tired from studying.

"Hey Johnny...." she teased me with a smirk, wrapping her arms on my neck. I recalled the night she hit on me, our first meeting. I laughed softly and pulled her close to me with my free hand while I lean on the wall.

"I love how you call me Johnny... makes me wanna grow a beard or a goatee." She scrutinize my chin making some drawing with her index finger.

"You know I'm a good artist babe. I can give you a goatee or a beard if you wanted too." I offered her my beer and she took a small sip on it.

"You're a weird artist. You like making monsters and aliens and stuffs. You drew an alien-octopus hybrid with 5 tentacles on my back last week that you slept here. I sported that for 3 days because I can't scrub the marker ink thoroughly." She laughed cutely at my bothered face and cupped my cheeks.

"It's cute and I helped you take it out. I scrubbed your back thoroughly, don't you like it?" She pouted at me looking like a puppy. Arrrghhhhhhh.. I wanna squish you Jung Soojung.

"Loved it. You almost peeled off my skin on the back because of your scrub! Tsk tsk tsk..." I shook my head feigning disappointment. She laughed like a kid clinging on my neck.

She wriggled her eyebrows at me playfully with a scoff "So now you're complaining! Just barely three months in our relationship and you're already fed up with me! Tsk tsk tsk... We're so over.. so over.." She meronged at me and placed her feet over mine asking me to walk around in the grassy area.

We always do this walking in the grass at night whenever we are not that tired from the daily strains of work for me and therapy for her. She will step on my feet then cling her arms on my neck. I will wrap my arms on her waist for support then I will start walking around the grass barefoot while we talk about things that comes in our mind. It's like a slow dance without the music, like our body moves in one motion. Sometimes we just move in circles, walking around the grass.

"We're not over... I'm not gonna leave you.. Sorry but you're stuck with me." She smiled at what I said obviously tongue tied. I know... the 'stuck with me' part was a little too early to drop in our relationship. I just feel like dropping it now, you know...to accustomed her.

"Thank you Amber... For always being with me, in my therapies, in my work out. I know you're getting tired going back and forth just to drive me to the clinic. You also have Dani and Tia to think about. I'm sorry for bothering you babe.." her face inclined to me while we do our slow dance.

I stare at her and saw how the moonlight Illuminates her beautiful face making her look celestial. Her celestial beauty and good heart is a perfect combination making my heart thump faster.

"You're beautiful.." she says, making me blush like a teenager being praised by her crush for the first time.

I wanna say you're beautiful too, that you're a kind girl doing that to Do-yeon and Shannon. That I want her to be stuck beside me til she's fed up. That I will give her everything she wants and everything she needs with just a flick of her finger. That I admire her for being caring to Dani and Tia treating them as dongsaengs. That I hate how she messes up my towel cabinet then smile sweetly at me like she didn't do anything and I hate how she run in her threadmill wearing that very tight fitting running shorts and singlet with sweat running down her body because it makes me think of things that will surely make me break my promise.

I looked into her eyes and it sparkles like the stars in the night sky. All I wanted to say behind all those words are just 3 words.Those 3 words that I can't say before but I express it via actions. If I say those 3 words, it will definitely change the course of our relationship into something more serious. For the first time in my life, I want it to be serious, I want it to last. I want no one else but Soojung.

Our lips met and it always makes me feel giddy tasting that sweet lips of hers. It was like eating mangoes, I know I'm allergic to it but I still keep on wanting more. Her tongue glided on my bottom lip wanting access and i gave it to her, darting inside my mouth meeting my tongue. It was fighting for dominance and mine won making her vow to submission. She it and bit it lightly making me smile in our kiss. She doesn't like losing but sorry babe when it comes to this things, I'm the boss.

I can feel her left hand rubbing my back in sensual circles making me feel hot. Her right hand messing my hair pulling me closer to her. The kiss turned slow, channelling all the emotions we feel for each other. Gentle kiss showing that I love her so much and I'm ready to take responsibility. We broke our kiss panting, our foreheads connecting. Her eyes was watering and it made me panic. Did I do something wrong? Did I hurt her? Didn't she like it?

"Hey... babe are you okay? Did I hurt you?"

She shook her head and pulled me again for a slow kiss nibbling and my lips. She released me again closing her eyes momentarily. I cupped her face in my palm and gave her a lingering kiss. Once we parted I told her what I wanted to say behind those kisses.

"I love you.."

"I love you.."

Both of us saying those 3 words at the same time brought a smile in our lips.

"I'm sorry if it came too late..I wanted to say it once I know that what I feel for you is not just infatuation." She said rubbing our noses together. I pulled her waist closer making her giggle.

"I'm sorry too if I only had the courage to say those words just now. I was busy counting and writing all the reasons why.." she slapped my shoulders playfully laughing softly. "Cheesy Ber...cheesy."

"Seriously though, I wanted to make sure that what I feel for you is strong. That we feel the same for each other. Soojung, when I said I love you, I mean it."

"I know... And I mean it too. I love you Amber.." she smiled at me, that very special smile of hers that is just for me.

"I love you too, Jung Soojung." We kissed lightly, just nibbling and biting each other's lips, playing. We almost fell to the grass when we heard someone spoke from the other side of the fence holding a bottle up for us to see and 3 stem of wine glasses stuck on its fingers.

"Guys, want some wine to celebrate!? I have Cabernet Sauvignon here!"

"Yuri!!!!"

-------------

The following day, we picked up Do-yeon and Shannon at the café and brought them at our house. We told them that they will be staying with my cousin Yuri and she will give them separate rooms. They didn't know that the Yuri I'm saying was the CF queen Yuri.

They had the shock of their lives when they saw her. Yuri told them that they are going to stay in her house and in exchange they will keep it clean and tidy.

The teens met, Tia already became friends with the two. Dani was still a little shy to Do-yeon and Shannon but I know she'll get use to them. Shannon was very talkative and jolly, she makes sure that Dani will never be bored when the 4 of them are together.

Months passed, they became closer and goes out when I permit them. Of course they have a curfew and they follow it diligently. Do-yeon started to become Yuri's Personal Assistant when my cousin has some photoshoot or CF filming. An agent saw her and asked to take a photo of the kid. The next day when we are in training, Yuri received a call from the agent offering a CF for Do-yeon. She asked the kid if she wants to try it because she doesn't want to decide immediately without asking the kid.

Do-yeon said yes and she was casted in the CF. Yuri was very happy because she's proud that the kid already earned her first paycheck. She said the agent thought that Do-yeon looks like Jeon Ji-hyun, little Jeon Ji-hyun. She treated us all for dinner and thanked us for taking her and Shannon in our home. Jessica told her that she should still continue her studies and just do CFs if time allowed.

Jessica became close to the two, even spends time in Yuri's house when the teens ask her to. She said she just want to make sure that Yuri is taking care of the teens and not making them drink wine all the time. If I know, Jessica just want to take care of Yuri from time to time. Looks like she's the one courting my cousin and not the other way around.

I saw them one time in the ice rink after the training. I was rushing to fetch Soojung in Luna's clinic and just went back because I forgot the cover of my blade. I saw them just gliding on ice quietly, circling the rink. Jessica made a jump and I saw how Yuri's eyes follow her movements. When she landed, my cousin was clapping her hands and asked Jessica to do it again. Jessica offered her hands to my cousin and the dork took it as Jessica pull her while gliding on ice. They look cute, and Yuri looks happy again. I hope this continues.

Soojung's knees are now fully healed. Luna did a good job on strengthening her range of motion and she can already do some exercises and sports but still with caution. She has to take care not to use her knee especially putting pressure on it. I take her jogging around the park and play basketball once in a while.

She already started doing skating in the ice rink after every hockey training. Coach Mike offered his services as her new trainer and coach together with Jessica. Seems like her father doesn't want anything to do with her skating anymore because they found out he's on the coaching staff of another skater in Canada who surprisingly is Soojung's worst enemy on ice.

We were in their house that night, was going to fetch Soojung again for a sleepover. Dani was with us because she waited for Soojung and I to finish her lap and practicing her spins. I love watching her skating, she is really good. Her spins are beautiful, she did a sit spin and camel spin then dared herself to do a simple double Lutz jump that she perfectly nailed.

She was really happy when she did it. I skated my way to her and she hugged me happy that she did another one. Dani was clapping her hands at her Soojung unnie and was so ecstatic watching her skate again. We bought some Tteukboki on the way to the Jungsis apartment to get some of Soojung's things.

Jessica was there and surprisingly, Yuri was also there. They are going out to have dinner with Jessica's friends and Yuri was pulled by Jessica to drive for her.

"So tell me again Yuri, why are you going with Jessica in that dinner?" I asked my cousin while we are alone in the living area. She was playing with her phone and turned to me.

"Because, she asked me to. She said her friends want to meet me and she needs a driver if ever she goes drunk later."

"So it means you and Jessica are together now?"

"No, we're not together together. We're just..... friends." She the word with uncertainty in her voice.

"Friends that spend time with each other.." I .

"Yeah... Like that."

"Friends that do sleepovers once in a while..."

"Er..... Y-Yeah.."

"Drives you and joins you in those wine tastings that you do.."

"Gives you precious coffee beans that you like to buy..." I smirked in her reaction. The dork is blushing.

"Yeah.. what are you saying?!" She tried to smack my head but I successfully dodge her.

"Soojung heard her unnie one night, in her sleep." It's payback time Jessica... Nyahahaha!!!!

"Okayyyy... What did she heard?" She went back to her phone uninterested but annoyed at my teasing.

"She said her unnie was talking in her sleep, and screaming. When she went to Jessi's room, it seems like she was dreaming. She said her unnie was having a weird dream because she was your name..." I saw her took a gulp and her hand tightened on her phone "she said it was like her unnie was calling your name asking for something..." a drop of sweat rolled down on her forehead but she still continued on her game.

I know you Kwon Yuri. You and your imagination bwahahahaha!!!!!!

"She was waking her unnie up then Jessica suddenly screamed clenching on the bed sheet screaming your name. When she opened her eyes and saw Soojung looking weirdly at her, she immediately ran to the bathroom and stayed inside it for an hour having a cold shower. Poor thing, Soojung said her unnie didn't sleep after that and just stayed awake. That was why Jessica has that black rings under her eyes the other day.." I saw her turned to Jessica's half open door and I don't know what she saw but oh boy! Yuri was sweating profusely. I gave a tissue to her and she wiped her sweat.

"Come to think of it.... she also has eyebags this morning when we are doing the meeting. Tsk tsk..." I grinned at her mischievously earning a slap on my forehead. She figured it out easily hehehe...

The door bell chimed and Dani went out of Jessica's room shouting 'I'll get it unnies!' . Wow. She's really comfortable now with the Jungsis. And she moves in this house like she lives here, she even has a stack of clothes in Soojung's closet while I only had a few clothes left here not including what my girl stole on my closet.

Yuri and I were hitting each other playfully with magazines when we heard a loud voice of a man in the door looking at Dani with an authorative stare.

"Who are you?!"
