“ I need to throw up .. this is too much for me. “

 

Amber already feel dizzy with Jongna's cheesiness while Key and Taemin already given up and just leaned at the book shelf,

trying to distract themselves from the romantic atmosphere by reading books. All 8 of them cannot move out from the place

since they afraid Jongna who are right now were having their sweet date might notice their presence. Amber tried to sleep but

she can't.

 

 

She then noticed that only Key who didn't fallen asleep and still reading a book. Key then realized that he's being watched,

 

“ Stop staring at me. “

He said slow enough for only Amber to hear with his eyes still fixated on the book.

“ I can't sleep. “

“ So, you choose to stare at my handsome face until you fall asleep ? “

Key asked in chuckle while Amber just rolled her eyes.

“ You're not handsome to me .. “

She looked away from him while murmuring to herself, “ You're just .. cute. “

Luckily Key didn't hear that part. Amber then peek on Jongna through the shelf at her back, “ They're being so sweet again. “

“ Jealous ? “

She was startled by that and turned back to looked at Key who still reading the book.

“ I'll find someone for you so that you won't feel lonely anymore. “

Key let out a small chuckle before shifting his eyes at her who's pouting at him.

“ So, what do you say ? “

He raised both of his eyebrows in anticipation.

“ As if you know the type that I like. “ Amber retorts annoyingly at him.

“ Tell me then. “

She just choose to ignore him.

“ Aww, come one. I'm so bored right now and this is the best topic that I'd come with. “

He pleaded her with his puppy eyes before get himself closer to her which then made Amber to feel uneasy.

“ Back off. “

She pushed him but he just remained there with his puppy eyes.

“ Seriously, Key .. can't you find any better topic than this ? “ Amber asked with a smile.

“ I'm waiting. “

“ Hmm .. let see .. someone that can always comfort me when I'm down .. I like guys with high cheekbones with cute smile .. the

one that not afraid to express his feelings .. maybe the frank type of guy .. the one who always know how to cheer me up .. “

“ Ice cream. “ Key blurted out.

“ Huh ? “

“ Ice cream can easily lighten up your mood. Am I right ? “

“ Y-yeah, but how did you .. “

“ I'm the Almighty Key and I know you better than what you thought. “

“ Impressive ! “ She smirked at him.

“ Yah ! Are you sure that you're talking about your ideal guy because it seems like you're describing me just now. Am I your

type ? “ Key was trying to .

“ What you know .. it does seems like you're my type. “

Amber back which made Key to chuckle.

“ Jeez .. you should tell me about this earlier. I can always consider it for you. But I don't have any choice but to disappoint you

in this matter since I already had Yoona .. hehe “

Key still joking around.

“ Then, break up with her. “

Key was stunned when he heard that and just looked at Amber confusedly.

“ Huh ? What did you say ? “

“ If Yoona unnie is the obstacle in this issue, then break up with her. With that, you can always consider about being my ideal

guy. “

Amber was being serious in front of him which made Key to frozen looking at her.

 

* Did she .. likes me ? *

 

“ So. What do you say ? “

She asked slightly made Key to feels nervous with her stares.

 

He can't believe that his minds right now were battling over choosing Amber or Yoona. He cleared his throat for countless time

waiting for any words to come out from his mouth but it always end up with a sighed.

 

Amber can't help it anymore and just burst into laughed right in front of him but she had to cupped with her hand

because Jongna was still there and she don't want her laugh to interrupt their date.

 

“ I can't believe that you took it seriously .. haha “

Key who just recover from his shocked quickly flicked her forehead in annoyance.

“ I can't believe that you can make such jokes. “

“ It's hurt. “

She whines while massaging her already reddened forehead.

“ It supposed to be hurt. “

Key shot her a glare before went back to his place.

“ By any chance, did you really consider about it just now ? “ She still having fun teasing him.

“ Whatever ! I'm sleepy. Wake me up when those two are done with their date. “

He pointed at Jongna before close his eyes leaving Amber smiling in victory at him.

 

 

Amber felt really happy on that time with the fact that Key did consider about being her guy even though they're not in a good

terms which then made her to think,

 

* What if I let him know about this earlier ? Will we be together right now ? *

 

Little that she know, she already feels regrets for her choice to keep her feelings by herself.

2 months after

 

 

“ Look at unnie. “

 

The maknae says which caught the rest of the girls' attention towards the leader who's currently spacing out at the couch with

the boys who are watching the TV on that moment.

 

“ She must be feel really lonely without Onew oppa by her side. “ Luna murmured with sympathy.

 

Victoria has become gloomy since Onew leaved the gang few weeks ago to Barcelona for the exhibition that he joined along

with continue his studies there and that just made the gang to become worried for her.

 

“ I'm sure I'm gonna feel the same if Minho oppa are not around me. “

Krystal blurted out which made Sulli and Amber to chuckle.

“ What ? “

“ Believe me. That won't happen if you're worried. “ Amber said with a smile.

“ I'm sure Minho oppa can't even stand for a minute without looking at you .. haha “

“ See, I told you. “

 

Luna pointed at Minho who's at the moment taking glances at Krystal with a wide smile on his face while Krystal just chuckle at

him. But at that moment there's one more person who caught Amber attention and it was no other than her crush, Key, who's

also looks like spacing out in Amber's eyes.

 

* Now what is his problem ? Don't say Onew oppa made him to be that way too .. *

 

Amber keep her eyes on him until she finishes her hot drink. She noticed something when she's on her way to joined the rest at

the living room. Key was holding onto his phone the whole time and sometimes he will taking glances at it.

 

* Is he waiting a call from someone ? Yoona unnie ? *

 

Amber aware of Key's sudden restless with his eyes still taking a glimpse at his phone and that made her to become curious. She

really want to ask him about it but she just can't utter a word that suits to that since it must be really weird for the rest to

caught her sudden concern for Key so she just let it slide, at least until everybody's not around.

 

 

Amber's POV

 

 

I quietly went outside when I noticed the rest were dozing off at the living room and there I saw him walking back and forth

with the phone still at his right ear.

 

“ Come on, pick it up Yoona. “

 

* So, it does because of Yoona unnie. *

 

“ Oh Yoona !! “

His face lighten up after that and I'm sure Yoona unnie had finally answered his calls.

“ Wait ! Let me explain that to you .. No .. please .. listen to me .. Yoona .. please .. “

 

My heart felt really hurt looking at how desperate his is right now begging at Yoona unnie. What does he did that Yoona unnie

have to treat him like that ?

 

“ I'm not flirting around for God sake .. it was all a misunderstanding .. don't hang up on me .. Yoona ? Yoona ? Arghh !! “

He just keep his head hung low before dialing a number at his phone,

“ I'm going to meet you now. I don't care .. I'll wait until you come out to see me, Yoona. “

With that he dashed towards his car and drove away.

 

“ Why do I had a bad feeling about this ? “

 

 

_______

 

 

 

* OMG !! Don't he realized that Yoona unnie don't want to see him ? Why did he still waiting for her at this cold night like a

stupid person ? *

 

 

I was right now not far from Yoona unnie's house and why I'm here at the first place ? That's right ? I was also no difference

from Key. While he was stupidly waiting for Yoona unnie from outside of her house, I'm stupidly watching him from here, next

to this tall pole, in this cold weather. Why ? I'm so worried for him that's why. I just had a lot of bad thought once he went off to

see unnie just now. He looks like he's going to do some stupid things because of frustration.

 

 

After some times, I saw Yoona unnie went out from her house and I hate to say this but Key become alive again when he saw

her. I couldn't hear a thing from here but with what I saw, it doesn't seems to shows that things getting better between them.

Seriously, I never see Key were so frustrated like he is right now, he's even kicked his own car's tires on the moment Yoona unnie

stepped in her house back. He then get into his car and once again he drove away, leaving me dumbfounded there watching

him.

 

* Aish ! Can't he stick at one place for a moment ? I'm getting sick of following him. *

 

I quickly hop on my bike and followed him from behind and of course careful enough not to let him noticed my presence.

 

 

_______

 

 

 

I was jaw dropped for a moment when I saw him walked inside the place.

 

“ M2 Club ? He can't be serious ? “

 

Yup, I just witnessed a Diva went inside a nightclub.

 

“ Aish !! How can he still having fun when he is obviously were stressed out because of Yoona unnie ? Owh .. Aaah .. I get it ..

so he's maybe trying to let out his stress at this kind of place .. haha .. silly me. “

 

“ Owh .. what am I still standing out here ? “

 

I slowly approached the entrance where I was welcomed with a glare from the guards who are been standing at the door.

 

* I am a one crazy 18 years old kid for even think about going to this place even though it's clearly stated that only 19 and

above are allowed. *

 

* Why did they looked at me like that ? Am I really looks like an 18 ? *

 

 

I just casually walked into the club so that the guards won't become suspicious towards me. It's not like I'm going to enjoy

myself in here or what, I just need to make sure that Key is alright, that's all.

 

“ WOAH !! “

And I was jaw dropped again for the second time in a day when my eyes wandered around the club.

“ So this is how a night clubs looks like. “

“ Woah ! That guy was so awesome. Where did he learned to dance like that ? “

 

I was having fun watching one guy dancing all by himself on the stage at the front with the people around me cheering for him

until I totally forget the reason of me being here at the first place.

 

“ Eeww .. what was that ? “

 

I spotted a couple were dancing so closely with each other and it made me want to throw up by just looking at them.

 

“ Come on, people are everywhere to watched both of you. Don't they feel embarrass ? “

 

Then I just realized that none of them were seems to bothered about people around them and just continue to having fun by

their own or with their friends.

 

“ This place is weird. Wait ! Why am I here again ? Owh .. yeah .. Key ! “

 

My eyes traveled to each corner of the place and finally I spotted him sat right at the bar. Slowly I went towards him and just

stood not far from him, watching him drinking the liquor like a plain water. He drink it one glass after another and it just made

me to feels even more hurt seeing him at this state.

 

* Babo ! If you do love her so much, you shouldn't be bother to wasting your time in here and just continue to convince her to

forgive you. *

 

I realized that the bartender were looking at me weirdly. I'm sure he noticed me looking at Key the whole time. I motioned him

to stop pouring drinks for Key since I noticed that Key cannot tolerate with another shot anymore and gladly he did what I

asked. I was right about that because Key really did passed out after the last drink that he had. I quickly approached him,

 

“ Key ? “

I shook his body lightly but he didn't responds to it.

“ Is he your friend ? “ The bartender asked me.

“ Well, kind off. “

“ He kept on calling a name. I bet his mind were bothered by that person. “ He gave a smirked at me.

“ He called a girl's name right ? “ He just nodded to me.

“ Babo ! Key you're a one idiot guy that I'd ever met. “

I said while looking at him, slightly disappointed with his behavior tonight.

 

 

_______

 

 

 

I brought him to a hotel nearby the club after that. Can you believe that I managed to dragged his heavy body with me the

whole time until we reached the room ? He's not giving any help at all and just keep on making it harder for me by mumbling

some nonsense and believe me I've been dropping his body on the ground for don't know how many times already since like I

said just now, he was quite heavy for me.

 

“ What should I tell Minho oppa ? “

Slowly I reached out his phone and give a text message to Minho oppa.

 

 

To : Minho

I'm staying at my old friend's place tonight ..

I'll be back tomorrow morning.

Key

 

 

 

“ Hope that was good enough to convince Minho oppa. “

I placed back the phone next to him.

“ Hmm .. now what about me ? “

 

 

I really didn't plan on leaving him alone like this so I have to find a good excuse to give to Victoria unnie since she's really gonna

freak out if I tell her that I'm with the drunken Diva right now. I don't want to make any one of them worried and I'm sure Key

have the same thought as mine too. Yeah right ! He was so happily snoring on the bed leaving me all by myself worried for him.

 

 

To :Vic Umma

I'm at my parents' house.

Mommy miss me so much .. so I'll spending my night here.

See you tomorrow unnie ..

Amber

 

 

“ Done .. so what next ? “

 

I took a glance at him and by just the looks I know that he was so uncomfortable at the moment by the way he keep on tossing

his body to the sides. I hop onto the bed and lightly shook his body.

“ Key .. “

He finally open up his eyes and looked at me.

“ Amber ? “

“ Woah ! You able to recognized my face at this condition ? “

I chuckled at him while he just looked away before fanning himself.

“ Are you hot ? Why don't you take off your jacket ? “

He didn't bother to do what I says and just continue to sleep.

“ Aish ! This guy. “

I helped him to take him jacket off him.

“ Get up ! I need to take this off for you ! “

I patted his shoulder and when he didn't respond, I just made him to get his body up with my own strength.

“ Urghh ! You're so heavy you know that ? “

 

 

I was struggling the whole time trying to take off his jacket and when I finally did it, he suddenly landed his head on my

shoulder, causing me to lost my balance and end up lying back on the bed with his head still landed on my body, my stomach

precisely.

 

“ Ouch ! My stomach ! Yah ! Get up now ! “

I tried to pushed him but I stops when I heard, “ Yoona ! I didn't do anything wrong. “

I heaved a big sighed.

“ I'm not unnie, you babo. “

“ Yoona, I only love you. “

“ Are you trying to pissed me up ? “

“ Yoona, she's the one who hugged me and I don't know why .. “

 

* So that's the reason behind their arguments .. Unnie must be misunderstood him for that. *

 

“ Seriously, you need to get your head off me right now. “

 

 

I patted his back to make him aware of it but end up become stunned by his sudden action. He was right now wrapping his

arms around my waist firmly.

 

“ Shirro ! Don't leave me .. “

“ Yah ! I'm not Yoona unnie .. so let me go Key. “

“ Your body feels warm just like Yoona, so you must be Yoona. “

 

Believe me, I was the happiest person when he hugged me like that but my heart crushed with the fact that he thought he was

hugging his girlfriend so I gather all my strength to pushed him off my body.

 

“ You do really know how to hurt my feelings Key. “

I was so annoyed at him at the moment but my annoyance easily wear off when I looked at his lifeless body lying next to me.

“ Didn't I warned you to always smile and be happy before this ? Why did you become like this right now ? Why can't you be

strong in this matter ? Did unnie really troubled you that much ? Why did you always made my heart aches ? “

I was holding back my tears the whole time until I cannot hold it anymore and just burst out crying next to him.

“ Huh ? Yoona .. are you crying ? “

I was startled by him and quickly get up from the bed and walked towards the bathroom to wash my face.

 

 

________

 

 

 

Key's POV

 

“ Urghh !! Cold ! “

I tried to grab anything that can warm myself and at last I found my blanket and cover my body with it.

 

* Eh ? That's weird. It doesn't smells like my blanket at all .. why does it smells like just came out from the washing machine ? *

 

Slowly I open up my eyes, “ White blanket ? “

I felt weird since as far as I know, mine were dark Purple. My eyes traveled around the room and shockingly it also wasn't mine.

“ Huh ? “

Quickly I get myself up once I noticed I'm totally not in my room.

“ Where am I ? What I'm doing .. huh ?! “

I spotted a person lying on the couch with the back facing me.

* Who is that ? *

I took the blanket off from me and jumped off the bed but then I stops when I felt the sudden coldness around my upper body.

“ OMG ! WHY DID I'M HALF ? “

 

The guy just now were fidgets a bit maybe because of my sudden screaming and slowly he turned his body to the right where

right now I can see completely his face.

 

“ AMBER ??! “

 

* What the heck that she's in the same room as me ? *

 

* Oh NO ! Last night .. I remembered I saw her but ... No .. No .. Nothing happen right ? *

 

* I'm sure .. there's nothing happen .. if not why did we sleeping separately ? *

 

I went closer to her and gently shook her body.

“ Amber .. w-wake up. “

“ I'm .. tired. “

“ Please .. wake up. I need to ask you something. “

She slowly open up her eyes, “ K-Key .. Morning .. “

 

* What ? How come she casually said that to me ? *

 

She adjusted herself until she feels comfortable and just sat at the couch with her eyes still lazily looking at me.

“ Amber .. do you know where we are ? “

I asked hesitantly and she gave a nod to me.

“ Do you realized that we're sleeping in the same room ? “ She nodded once again.

 

* OMG !! WE DID SPEND OUR NIGHT TOGETHER LAST NIGHT !! *

 

“ Amber .. I need you to answer me truthfully .. “

She blinked her eyes for few times before nod again.

“ Did we .. no .. did I .. done something funny to you last night ? “

 

I was kneeling in front of her who's sitting on the couch while asking that, and I was nervously waiting for her answer to that.

She then leaned her face closer to mine and just examined my face before, “ Nope ! “ then she backs away.

 

“ Really ? Nothing ? “

She nodded while yawning.

“ YAH ! WHAT WAS THAT ? WHY DID YOU NEED TO TOOK A LONG TIME TO ANSWER THAT SIMPLE NERVE WRACKING

QUESTION OF MINE ?! “

“ YOU LITTLE .. YAH !! WHAT'S WITH THE SUDDEN YELLING ? “

I saw her trying to catch her breath after that maybe to shocked with my sudden loud voice just now.

 

 

 

Restaurant

 

 

“ So, you were saying that you happens to saw me there ? In front of the club ? “

She nodded.

“ I was wondering, how come you passing by there .. since as far as I know, those street were only occupied with clubs, well most

of them. “

I noticed that she looked away after that.

This girl looks suspicious to me.

I leaned forward towards her. “ What does an 18 years old girl doing at places like that ? “

I looked at her suspiciously.

“ Nothing important for you to know. Stop being busy body will ya ? “

I back off when she gave me those fierce glare.

“ Fine. Whatever. Anyway, you shouldn't bother to help me though. “

“ Why ? “

“ I just .. don't think that you should trouble yourself for me .. I mean .. we're frienemies right ? “

“ I'm not some kind of alien species that have a cold heart. Even though we're not in a good terms, I cannot just abandoned you

like that right ? “

I let out a chuckled when I heard that.

“ Is that funny ? “

“ No, it just .. anyway .. t-thanks. “

Her face lighten up when I said those.

“ Come again ? “ She says in smirked.

“ Stop being annoying right now. I'm not in the mood. “

“ Jeez .. you're no fun at all. “

“ Hey, copy cat. “

She just do a merong to me.

“ Why don't you just bring me back home instead of here ? “

“ I don't know.. I don't want the boys to freak out seeing you in that kind of condition last night. “

“ Condition ? “

“ You looked so .. awful, miserable and pathetic. “

Ok, that was too details for me.

“ Then, what about you ? Don't you think the girls are gonna freak out too when they noticed that you're not home last night ? “

“ Ok, I already took care of that matter .. so right now, can you please let me have my breakfast in peace ? “

“ One more thing .. don't you curious about what happened to me last night ? Why did I drunk ? “

“ Not interested. “

She said before shoving the food inside .

 

* So, she's only choose to helping me out .. can't she at least care about me ? Even if only a little ? *

 

 

It's not like I do want to share my problem with her but sometimes, I do feel aggrieved with the fact that it's always me who

concerns about her while there's not a glimpse of concern in her eyes when it comes to me. I know that we're not in a good

terms but it doesn't mean that she can simply took away the concerns from our relationship.

 

* Wait a sec .. why did I want her to care for me that badly again ? *

 

* Urghh ! This must be the effect of the alcohol last night ! *

 

 

________

 

 

 

Both of us drove back to our house with me driving my car and Amber, riding her white Baby Yamaha. When I reached to the

house, I noticed that Amber were still standing outside her house with her eyes fixated on me.

 

“ You're waiting for me ? “

I asked weirdly looking at her.

“ I forgot to tell you just now .. I told Minho oppa that you're staying at your friend's house last night, so it's all on you after

this. “

I just nodded to her and watched her walked away.

“ Owh .. one more thing. “

She turned back to looked at me.

“ Everything is gonna be alright after this. Just put your problem away from your mind. You'll feel better with that. “

“ Huh ?! What ? “

She just bid a goodbye before quickly went inside.

“ What was that ? I don't get it. Yah ! “

She just ignored me and keep on walking towards the house leaving me all by myself dumbfounded there.

“ Am I the one who drunk last night or she ? “

 

 

 

Key's Bedroom

 

I don't know what exactly that Amber told the boys but it seems like works to me since not even a single question being throw to

me once I stepped into the house. They were acting normally, like they always do but I'm sure if Onew hyung were here, things

will turn out differently. That leader had too much curiosity in his minds.

 

I went to the bathroom to clean myself up and went out once I'm done with it.

“ One message ? “

I hit on the read button when I saw an incoming message and shockingly it was from Yoona ?

 

 

To :Key

Let's meet at the Little White Cafe this evening .. around 3

I'll wait for you ..

Yoona

 

 

 

“ What was that ? “

 

* Why did she suddenly change her mind ? *

 

“ Did she want to end up our relationship ? “

I tried not to think negative from now on.

“ Yeah .. maybe it's nothing .. maybe she's ready to listen to my explanation. “

 

 

_______

 

 

 

Little White Cafe,

3.15 pm

 

 

“ I'm sorry .. I'm late. “

I said still trying to catch my breath.

“ It's ok .. what made you late ? “

“ I overslept. I was helping Taemin with his project and end up fall asleep after that. “

I was stunned after that looking at her who's smiling sweetly at me.

 

* Did she just smile at me ? Didn't she mad at me ? We even talks comfortably just now. *

 

“ Earth to Key ! Hello ! “

“ Huh ? Owh .. sorry. “

I scratched my not so itchy head and just smile at her nervously.

“ I had order your favorite drink too. “

After some time, the ajusshi served the drink to me. “ Enjoy kids. “

 

I just smiled at him before taking a sip of it which then I regretted with my greediness when I felt the burning sensation on my

tongue cause by that hot drink.

 

“ Are you alright ? “

She patted by back before gave me the plain water.

“ T-thanks. “

“ Should I remind you that it was a hot drink ? “

She just let out a chuckle after that.

“ Ok .. that's it. What are you planning on here huh ? Why are you being so nice to me today when last time you're the one who

refused to talk to me ? Are you trying to break up with me ? Tell me .. tell me .. “

“ I'm sorry. “

She said soft enough for only me to hear.

“ Did you really .. want .. to end up our relationship ? “

I asked almost tearing up looking at her.

“ Huh ? No .. not even close to that. “

“ Then why ? What's with the apology anyway ? “

“ I'm sorry .. for not trusting you. “

“ Huh ? “

“ I was controlled by jealousy on that time. I know, I should have trust the one that I love and not simply made my own

conclusion. But .. I guess I'd messed up. “

“ But .. why suddenly .. you .. “

“ She called me last night. “

“ Who ? “

“ Hyewon. She called me and explained everything about it. She told me that she was purposely hugged you to made me

jealous. “

“ She did ? “

“ Eung .. actually, she had a crush on you and get mad when she know that you choose me as your girlfriend. “

“ She likes me ? “

“ Don't you know about this ? “

“ Nope. “

“ Then what did both of you talk about that time ? “

“ She asked me something about fashion and last thing that I know is she's already had her hands around me. “

“ Why don't you just pushed her away ? “

“ I was so shocked at that moment. What can I do ? “

Both of us just laughed at each other after that.

“ So we're cool right ? No more sulking ? Cuz I'm seriously tired of it. “

“ Hehe .. sorry for that. “

“ It's ok. From now on, please just trust me. “

“ Arasso. “

“ Aaah .. I miss your hug pretty doll. “

“ Aigoo .. Key. “

She patted my head lightly before pulled me into a warm embrace.
