Chapter 19- Photographs
Rescue Me
Henry indeed left that afternoon. He bid his final farewell to Amber by sending her a text message. The girl no longer replied.
She was still meant to stay for three days more before she finally heads back to Seoul. She can't wait for it actually..
She's been thinking about Key. But she doesn't have the guts to call him or answer his calls because of what she did, lying
in Key's face.
------
Back in Seoul, Key had been missing Amber like crazy. Though he is getting worried the girl doesn't call back or reply to
his messages, he keeps it positive as he constantly looks at their picture.
"Come home.. I want to hug you and hold you and make you mine all over again.." He said.
A door bell was then heard on the door. He opened it and a delivery man was on the door..
"Mr. Kim Kibum?"
"Ahh, yes that's me."
"I have a package for you.."
"But I didn't order anything.. Was it sent by someone?"
"Yeah.. Apparently."
"Who?"
"My boss didn't tell me though. Sorry sir."
"No, it's okay."
"Could you please sign here."
The man left after Key signed the paper. He locked the door and quickly headed to take a seat to open the package.
"What could this be?"
He ripped the envelope. A thick box was inside. He opened it. He looked at each one. Key was speechless..
-----
It was time for her to go back to Seoul. Amber was excited. She planned to say everything about Henry as soon as she arrived.
Her conscience couldn't bear the fact that she hasn't told it to Key in the first place.
"Hey oppa. Can I go to your place? I'll be coming back." she texted.
Key immediately replied.
"I'll just go to your place. I know you're tired. Tell me when you arrive home."
"Okay oppa. Love you.."
"Okay."
-----
Amber was pretty much either asleep or drowsy the entire trip back. Her flight was scheduled for the afternoon so she arrived
back in her place around 7:00pm.
"Oppa. I'm home.. I'll wait for you."
She waited for Key patiently. She just sat there at her sofa. Luna wasn't home yet because of rehearsals. Amber then started
thinking of funny thoughts until a knock snapped her out of it. She headed for the door and peeked at the glass. It was Key.
"You could've opened the door. You have a key right?"
"Oh, yeah. Sorry. I left it back home.. I was kind of in a hurry."
"Please have a seat.."
They sat down at the sofa.. But Key sat opposite Amber at a single chair.
"Oppa, sit beside me."
"I have something for you."
"Mwo? What is it?"
"Here.."
Key handed over an envelope.
"What's this?"
"Open it.."
Amber carefully ripped the envelope and she saw a pile of photographs. Her eyes widened with what she saw..She flipped through
each one.
"That's you right?"
"Yeah.."
"And that person with you? Is that Hannah??" Key emphasized on the word Hannah..
"No.. It's.."
"It's Henry isn't it?"
Amber didn't answer.
"Tell me! It's him right?"
"Yes.." She replied.
Amber already had tears in her eyes.
"Oppa, where did you get these?"
"Are you kidding me?! You seriously have the guts to still ask me where I got those??? I'm not blind Amber.
You were in Jeju with Henry.. I was here in Seoul, worrying the entire time. The calls, weren't you answering them because
you were with him?! Didn't you reply because you were with him?! What?? I kept it positive. Thinking that you were busy
with the students, turns out you were busy with HIM! Hannah? I seriously believed you.. You stuttered, you were supposed to
say Henry right?? I would've understood if you just told me. We could've talked about it. But no! You chose to lie.
Lie right in my face.."
Key was already crying. He feels really disappointed with what Amber did.
"Oppa, look I can explain.."
"Explain?! What's left to explain. I trusted you Amber! All my life, I've closed my door from other people. I didn't trust
anyone.. I withdrew myself from others. But you, I trusted you! After so long, I opened up my doors to you. My grandma trusts you!
But what? What did you do?!! You broke it. You broke my heart. You broke my trust! Of all the people, I thought you were the one
person who couldn't do this to me! The one person who wouldn't hurt me like this.. Turns out I'm wrong.."
Key stood up making his way to the door. Amber chased after him.
"Oppa, wait! Please.. I'm sorry!"
"Amber, please let go of my hand."
"Key! Listen."
"Let go of my hand!!!"
Amber let go of her grip.
"I need to go."
Key walked out. He slammed the door. Amber sat there on the floor crying thinking it's over.
