I need to stick to releasing once a week. d(OuO)b ...Remember, we're still in characters introduction phase. I still need to work on what I should write for the next few chapters. So far the number of chapters have not been determined. There is an estimate. I'm aiming for, lets say, twenty chapters or so.

There are a lot of sport activities that Amber participates in. Already twenty and she is still looking for a job. Sulli on the other hand is in her last year in high school. There are few places in S. Korea that people can skate on. With Amber’s board in hand, she likes to speed her way through the obstacles while grinding her board against the railing. Doing trick such as jumping with her board over large obstacles and twirling in mid air while holding onto her skateboard takes a lot of practices to master. Though it may look simple, grasping the technique takes time.

While Amber drinks her water bottle Sulli texts her, “Come join me and my friends at the karaoke after school!!! :) ♥♥♥.” In the distance Amber spotted a first time skater and she couldn’t help but laugh as he fell. This guy was around her age. No one seems to notices the noob so Amber walks over to offer her hand in help.

“Hi,” said the guy as he took Amber’s hand. “Thanks.”

“I’m Amber.”

“I’m Key.”

“Key?” Amber said his name as she tries to remember where she heard that name from.

“Hey, why does a guy have such a girly name like that?” Key said wanting to stray Amber from thinking too much about his name.

Amber drinks her water. “I’m a girl.”

“What?” Key said feeling surprised. “A, a, girl? That can’t be right.” He reaches out to Amber’s chest, wanting to confirm what Amber had said.

Before Key’s hand was even able to touch Amber, she moves aside and pushes Key’s hand away from her. “Don’t try that. I really am a girl.”

“Then?”

“This is just the way I like to dress. This is who I am.”

Key just blurted the first word that came to his mind. “Gay.” When he realized what he said he quickly covers his mouth knowing he shouldn’t have said it. He glances away from Amber’s gaze. “I’m sorry I didn’t mean gay that way.”

Amber’s laughs at Key’s choice of words. With a pat on Key’s back, Amber wanted to reassure him she doesn’t want to start a fight. “I know, I get that a lot.” When their eyes meet Amber say, “I’m strait by the way.” To stop the awkwardness Amber started skating. “Keep your eyes on me.”

His eyes locked onto Amber’s movements amaze with her talent. Once Amber finishes and walk back to Key he said. “Amazing, I wanted to do that.”

“I’ll teach you some other time.” Amber check s her watch and she have an hour left before she needs to reach the karaoke to meet up with Sulli.

“Where are you going?” Key asks.

“Karaoke with my sister,” Amber said before realizing Key wanted something from her. “So do you want to come along? It’s going to last at the very least, a few hours starting now.”

“I have time.” Key quickly said. “I want to learn how to skate better.

“I remember your face now.” Amber said smugly while glancing at Key.

“What do you know?”

“You need a disguise.”

“I already got one.”

“My sister is in her last year of high school and being near an idol is a big deal. From what I heard, some of her friends are your fans.”

“What do I do?”

Amber walks into a store to buy a wig, a loose fitting dress, and some cheap boots. When she got out she hands the bag of clothes to Key. “Wear this on top of your clothes. You can wear that blazer on top the dress and you’ll look great.”

“Will this work?”

“As long as you don’t sing in a manly voice.” Amber holds onto Key’s shoulder as she stares into his eyes. “You’re an experience actor so act like a girl for today.”

“How are you going to teach me about skating talking to me like a girl?”

“You have to practice a lot with balancing on one side of the board.”

“That’s it.”

“For now, but I need to wash up first.”

“What about my name?”

“Krystal.”

There Key was drag into a Karaoke party while dressed as a girl. He saw Amber’s younger sister Sulli and three friends that Sulli was hanging out with. Despite Amber’s boyish voice, her singing voice was beautiful. Next, Sulli’s voice was sweet and beautiful. Sulli’s friends have mediocre voices, they sound beautiful but there’s nothing extraordinary about their voices. Key didn’t join for most of the songs.

“Amazing.” Key said as he claps his hands after Sulli finish her song.

Sulli happily passes the mic to her friends and thanks Key for complementing her.

“Don’t tell me you are falling for her.” Amber said nudging Key.

“I like her voice.” Key said. “Amber, I don’t fall for people that easy.”

“Really?” Amber was already singing along the next song being sung.

Key couldn’t help but stare at Amber’s profile. Beautiful… I mean she have a beautiful voice. “Amber I have to go now.”

“Everyone, Krystal have to leave now. Thank you for allowing Krystal to join in last minute.” Amber said with a bow along with Key following after her. Sulli and her friends bow back in respect.

Everyone saying good bye as Amber leads Key back out. Once Key returns back to his normal clothing Key asks Amber, “Have you and Sulli ever thought about becoming an idol?”

“You fell for her right.”

“Amber, listen, I’m serious. Both of you have amazing voices.”

“So you are an idol?”

“You, you didn’t know?”

“Nope, it was a gut feeling.” Amber said laughing. “It was nice to meet you regardless.”

Key gave Amber a pouty face look as he held his fist up to his cheek, giving Amber his aygoo looks. “Did I look cute?”

Amber copy Key’s action and made an aygoo face. “What do you think?”

Kris was walking down the street in hope to spot Sulli, instead he found Amber making aygoo face to a guy. Both of them seem to enjoy each other’s company. He got mad but couldn’t help but to laugh at Amber’s poor attempt at making aygoo faces. Once he realizes he was laughing, he stops himself and walks in the opposite direction wanting to avoid Amber at all cost. “I can’t let that man thing stay in my conscious. Think cute girls.”

He spent the rest of his day looking for a cute girl to hang out with.

Key and Amber part ways after exchanging their phone numbers.

 “Call me when you want to hang out again.” Amber said.

A smile grew on Key’s face as he waves goodbye. “Yeah, I’ll call you when ever.” It took him a few second to realize his hand is still in the air after Amber has left his sight. Ah, my heart. Did I eat something bad?

That night as Amber climbs into the top bunk of the bunk bed she and Sulli shared. There are only two bedrooms in their home, one for their mother and the other for Amber and Sulli to share. Amber came home at nine after going to the movie theater with her friend Henry.

“Where did you meet Krystal?” Sulli ask.

“Krystal.” Amber took a moment to remember who Sulli was asking about. “Oh, Krystal. He’s actually a guy.”

“A guy who likes to dress like a beautiful girl.”

“No, I told him to dress that way.” Amber laughs. “He’s actually an idol, so that’s why I ask him to disguise himself. Actually I really didn’t know he was an idol at first. It was all just a lucky guess.”

“Who is he?”

“A secret.”

“What did he think about my voice? Do you think he can help me become an idol?”

“I don’t know. Let’s talk about it when he asks me again.”
