Chapter 22
I live with 12 EXO boys. Porque? U mad? U jealous, galz?Cameras were on them while Amber kept her head down and Kris gave a slight smile to the press. Kris led her to the chair, making her sit right next to him while the reporters asked many questions to Amber.
“Amber, is that you?”
“Why are you wearing a skirt?”
“Are you Amber’s sister?”
“What’s your relationship with EXO?”
And so on, reporters were still clueless so that they kept asking her in their curiosity while she was still gathering guts inside her heart and good words to explain inside her mind.
“I’m Amber.” Finally, her eyes met the cameras and started to speak, giving them answer that they wanted. “I’m actually a girl not a boy.”
They recorded her statement, some TV station reported the scene live from the venue. “I disguised myself as a boy to get in the entertainment industry, got a prize by joining EXO group.”
“Stalker? Crazy fan?” A reporter blurted out all of sudden, making Kris’ eyes get widened
“NO! She’s not!” He shot each one of the reporters with death glare and shouting through microphone but Amber shushed him, trying to calm him down by caressing his left arm, signaling she was fine with it
Amber spoke up to the press, explaining everything from the beginning including the reason why she cross-dressed as a boy (read the description in case you’ve forgotten)
“Rumor has spread, I heard you will join f(x) for their comeback stage. Is that true?” A female reporter asked her immediately as soon as she got the chance to ask the female entertainer
Amber gave all of them a small smile while they were anticipated about her comment. “It’s not true because I’ll go from this industry and I’ll make sure you’ll never find me again.”
All of them made uproar and noise, they couldn’t believe it. They thought Amber would be still in entertainment industry under SM but she decided to go away from this K-POP world.
As soon as Amber made that statement, she moved to go out of the press conference room along with Kris. “But, Amber, wait! Wait up! What’s your relationship with EXO?” They were all still curious about it
Amber stopped her move and grabbed the microphone, answering the question with smile “We’re friends, of course.”
“What about Kris? You guys got caught together a lot of time.” A male reporter made one last question before Amber and Kris made a way to exit the room
Amber wanted to answer the question but she didn’t say the truth because she didn’t want to made fan girls’ heart ache. “We’re…”
“We’re boyfriend and girlfriend. Yes, we’re dating.” Kris took over the microphone from Amber’s grip and exclaimed their relationship to the press, making all of them gasp and shock at the same time, even Amber herself was surprised about what he just proclaimed
“C’mon.” He whispered her, placing the microphone on the table and leaving the venue together with Amber. Kris let her exit first from the room and met the other EXO’s members after the press conference
The boys welcomed them with sad or disappointed face, they just didn’t know how to react after the press con about Amber. She turned around to see her boyfriend right behind her back, “You didn’t have to say that, Kris!”
“Said what?” He furrowed his eyebrows
“What was with ‘boyfriend and girlfriend, we’re dating’? Are you nuts?!” She folded her arms in front of her chest, seeing Kris who was standing six feet tall
As for Kris, this was the first time for him seeing Amber shouted while talked to him. “Why?! We really are! What’s wrong with now?”
“There’s nothing wrong with me but there’s something wrong with you! What about your fans? You don’t think about them? You just made them hurt by saying I’m your girlfriend! You’re still an artist, what if they all left you? You’re nothing without them.” She made serious face with him while the others just watched them two without saying anything because they were scared if they didn’t put good words to make them not fight.
“Who cares?! I have you!” He barked in front of her while he placed his palms of hands on her shoulders
She shook her head and stepped back ward. “I’ll go away, I’ll leave you all and you’ll never meet me again…” She gritted her teeth, trying to hold her tears which had already filled her eyes
“A-A-Amber… W-what?” He blinked his eyes in disbelief, his lips parted while seeing her figure in front of him.
“We break up, Kris……. Good bye.” Amber shoved his hands off of her shoulders, then, she ran away, leaving all of them in surprise especially Kris
Kris couldn’t move even an inch, he didn’t know what to do because he felt his body was too weak to run after her and the others were confused. Should they run after Amber or accompany ‘the brokenhearted’ Kris here?
“Kris hyung…” Baekhyun tried to speak
“Go.” Before Baekhyun continued, Kris cut him off by saying it in flat and low voic
