“Aish, I really don’t understand why do girls have to grow such long nails?” Amber mumbled as she started washing her wrist that was wounded with nail prints, which were caused by Bomi. Luckily, that Kris was now filming for the show and he didn’t get to see the wounds, if not she didn’t know what he was going to do next.

But, thinking that Kris actually cared for her made her melt and she couldn’t help but to feel contented about it. The more he acted this way, the more she believed that Kris’s cold attitude was just an act and deep down inside, he do care for people. Although she still thought that he kind of disliked her.

(Numerous hours later)

“Thank you guys for the hard work!” Amber quickly bowed at the people in the production team and other celebrities before finally leave the place.

When Amber was about to get onto the van that Kris was already sitting, someone called out her name, which stopped her from walking further. She turned around and saw Myungsoo who was standing not far away from where their van was parked.

“What is it, Myungsoo shii?”

“Actually, nothing… I was wondering if we could be friends?” Myungsoo scratched his neck and happened that Amber too did the same thing at the same time. The both of them stopped their actions and stared at each other for a moment, then burst out laughing.

“So, you have this habit of scratching your neck when you are nervous?” Amber laughed.

“I guess the both of us diagnosed with a same disease huh?” Myungsoo joked.

“True, anyway… it’s nice meeting you, Myungsoo shi-”

“Call me Myungsoo.”

“Right, Myungsoo…thanks for saving me once again.”

“No problem. So… are we friends?” Myungsoo offered his hand out to Amber.

“Sure!” Amber gave him a wide smile with a nod, at the same time shook his hand.

“Cool! See you around soon!” Myungsoo grinned as he release Amber’s hand and back up slowly.

“Yupps! Good night, Myungsoo!” Amber waved at him then finally got back into the van and sat next to Kris who was staring at her.

After staring for couple of minutes, Kris finally said, “What took you so long?”

“Hmm, I met Myungsoo just now and chat for a little. Sorry for that…” Amber lowered her head to avoid the intense stare from Kris.

“Is my face on your lap?” Kris frowned at how Amber was not looking at him and he could feel that she was all tensed up. Furthermore, he didn’t want any apologies from her at all.

“Ani! I was just-” Before Amber could say anything further, Kris placed both his hands on the side of Amber’s shoulders then turned her body around to face him. He then lifted her chin with his finger so that Amber’s eyes were now looking into his.

“Just stop avoiding my eyes and look at me. Are you being truthful about liking me? I really doubt that when you are acting like that.” Kris couldn’t help but made such a comment or of a sudden. The words just naturally blurt out because he had been hiding these questions for quite sometime.

“M-mwoh? Of course I like you!” Amber didn’t hesitate at all with stopping those words coming from . When she realized what she had said, it was too late, Kris had heard it and he was staring at her widely with his lips slightly curled up a bit.

“OMG! What did I just said?” Amber smacked her forehead and mumbled.

‘I just shamelessly admitted that I like Kris? What would he be thinking?’ Amber scolded herself as she tried to peek through the gaps between her fingers.

“I didn’t expect that answer though.” Kris tried his best to maintain his poker face, however his heart was racing and butterflies were going-round-circle in his stomach that he practically could have punched his fist in the air.

His reply made Amber blushed further and both her palms covered her face as she couldn’t face him at all.

‘How could she be so embarrassing?’

“Yah! Didn’t I tell you to look at me?” Kris pulled her hands down by her wrists, which she insisted of not allowing him to do so. Kris asserted more force on the wrists and the next second; he could hear Amber wincing softly.

He quickly released his grip and managed to catch a glimpse of the small wounds on her wrists before Amber hide them away.

“Hmm, it was n-nothing.” Amber stuttered.

“Did that two es did that to you?” Kris grabbed her arm again and observed her wounds. They were obvious that they were caused by long fingernails and were dug into her skin. The wounds were faint now and could easily know that they were not treated properly. For Amber, it’s not a big deal at all, but Kris didn’t think it that way.

“Kris… relax. It’s nothing important. It’s not like it would hurt me in anyway.”

“At least put on a proper plaster. How could you just leave those wounds like this? Do you want to have scars?” Kris was unhappy about the fact that Amber was so careless about things like that.

“But, I don't have it.” Amber argued.

“Ajusshi! Please stop at the nearby pharmacy.” Kris informed as he settled back down on his seat.

“Kris, there is no need to-”

“Just shut up and rest, will you? You got to take care of yourselves well.” He turned and stared at her seriously.

“But, I know how to take care of myse..lf..” Amber wanted to argue back again but her voice gradually became smaller when Kris gave her a shut-your-mouth-or-you-will-get-it face.

After getting some medication from the pharmacy, Amber went back to the van once again. She had insisted on getting those medications herself because she didn’t want Kris to be seen around and got recognize. After being their assistant for quite decent amount of time, she had known how those saseang fans would react upon seeing their favourite idol and it was scary. (Referring to Bomi and Jaemin)

“Give me your hand.” Kris took the bag of medication an offered his hand out to Amber.

“I can do it myself-”

“Later on and then forget about it.” Kris continued for her while shaking his head. He didn’t know why but he knew her quite well. Well enough to be sure that she was too careless about herself.

Amber sighed and finally gave up by reaching out her wrist for him to apply medication for her. It’s not at all painful or anything but for some reason she could feel that Kris was trying his best to be as gentle as possible as he dap on her wounds.

The car journey was peaceful and silent while Amber observed closely at Kris who was concentrating. She was confused by him because all of sudden he was treating her so well that she didn’t know how to react. She thought that he didn’t like her a lot but now he was taking care of her. Furthermore, thinking about how he was agitated when she was not looking at him.

Just stop avoiding my eyes and look at me.

Are you being truthful about liking me?

Those words sound like he was…

“Why did you even care?” Amber asked.

“Mwoh?” Kris frowned and looked up after putting on a plaster on her wrist.

“Why did you even be bothered when I’m hurt? I thought you didn’t like me?” She repeated again.

“I don’t think I had ever mentioned that I didn’t like you.” Kris replied almost immediately.

“Eh?”

“It’s true that I’m not at all happy that you took my bed, having me wake up early in the morning and force me to take breakfast, but that didn’t mean that I dislike you.”

“But… you were…” He was acting as if he didn’t like her at all… His cold tone... his intense stare. Everything.

“That's how I act. Sorry if I got you wrong. I never dislike you. My feelings for you is neutral… for now.” Kris explained leaving the last two words unheard for Amber.

“Oh. Really…” Amber pouted. She was hoping that Kris at least liked her existence. Although he said that he didn’t dislike her but she was greedy to hope for more. Anyway, it’s good enough to know that he didn’t hate her for stealing his bed.

“So stop avoiding me ans act like as if I was bullying you.” Kris flicked Amber’s forehead and gave a small smile before he turned his head to the front.

Amber touched her forehead where Kris had flicked. It’s the first time she seen him gave a smile. Her eyes were glued on the side features of his face and she then gave a wide smile feeling contented about the fact that the smile he gave was directed to her.
