Cronaím thú. P.S.: I wish I could say these face-to-face, but I have no idea how to pronounce them correctly ^^;; Happy birthday! I miss you. His heart tugs at the text she has sent him. He is rather surprised—and touched—that she actually took notes of all the Irish phrases he had said to her verbally and in writing. They rarely said the ‘love’ words to each other simply because they think it’s overrated. And by saying ‘I miss you’ to each other is enough to let each other know that they are always thinking of the other anytime, anywhere. He smiles at the thought. He wonders how long it has been since he loses control of himself and just muck around like kids his age. The people he has been spending time with this past week were his family, Krystal's family, and Krystal herself. He has been very composed and slightly wary around Krystal because he doesn’t know her that well. Proposing the idea of becoming assignment partners is the first time he steps out of his boundary to put an effort into knowing her. The fact that Krystal had commented at some point, “I’ve heard people saying you’re a brat, but you’re in fact very mature, Se Hun.” Instead of wanting to beat up those people who said he is a brat, Krystal’s opinion of him strikes him. Because he is anything but mature. He likes to throw popcorn at his companion when they watch a movie together, he likes to laugh out loud boisterously whenever he hears a hilarious joke (to the point people think he has been hanging too much around Chan Yeol, who laughs at anything really), he likes to play childish prank on his teammates, he likes to whine and aegyo1 to get what he wants, he likes to tease Amber, he likes to latch his arm around Amber like a spoiled child… He misses her. He misses being silly around her. He misses being stupid with her. He simply misses his Amber Liu. A vibration from his phone takes him out of his trance and his thumb moves over the phone screen to read the new incoming message. From: Krystal
Time: 07:35 Happy birthday! :) Have an awesome day today! Krystal’s text is like a wake-up call to Se Hun. He ignores the sinking feeling in his chest and starts to write his reply to all the texts. After responding to a few, a knock on his door is heard and his mother’s smiling face appears in between the door, a smile that instantly brightens his day. She wishes him a very happy birthday and showers him with hugs and kisses before sending him to breakfast. --- “Hey, you all going to Se Hun’s party tomorrow, right?” Amber simply nods as Sulli, Baek Hyun, and Chan Yeol reply with a “Yes” in unison. “I’m going to buy the present for him this afternoon, who wants to come with me?” “We can’t go; we have basketball practice,” Sulli says, tilting her head to the side to refer to Amber. “That ! Practice on the last day of school for the week,” Jong In remarks. Amber raises a brow at him, “Friday is the only day the girls and the boys don’t whine about tutoring or music lessons.” “We’re free,” Chan Yeol says, pointing to Baek Hyun and himself, “we’ll go with you.” Jong In scowls and huffs, “I don’t wanna be alone with you two! I feel like a third-wheel!” He pouts to Sulli and drones, “Sulli! Come!” Sulli giggles, “Basketball practice!” “Just go with Baek and Chan Yeol,” Amber says, scoffing in distaste at Jong In’s aegyo. “Sulli and I have given you our part of the money.” “Oh, that’s right!” Jong In stops sulking and rants on, “You might want to take half of it back, Am! You already got a present for Se Hun, you don’t have to join us just because we’re sharing the present.” “No, it’s fine. Mine wasn’t that expensive, anyway.” “By the way,” Baek Hyun starts, his tone capturing their attention, “Will Se Hun’s fiance be coming to this party? Did you know, Jong?” Jong In looks conflicted and sighs, “Uh... I... Um... I suppose so.” He averts his eyes, looking at anywhere but Amber. He could feel Amber’s penetrating stare on his side. “He told you she would be coming, didn’t he?” “It’s not like he wants to invite her, Am!” Jong In groans. “He has no choice!” “I’m sure he won’t be hanging around her, hyung! You’ll be around, he won’t want to hurt you!” Sulli joins in, sensing a gloomy atmosphere escalating between them. Amber gives her a reassuring smile, not wanting them to know that she is actually hurt knowing the idea. On one side, she wants to know who that girl is, but on the other side, she is scared. She is scared of what she doesn’t know. Chan Yeol sighs, “I kinda miss having Se Hun around us.” “We sat together in English on Tuesday and Wednesday, Yeol,” Baek Hyun reminds him, rubbing his boyfriend’s back in a comforting manner. He mutters, loud enough for all of them to hear, “I kinda miss him too.” Besides, it was very awkward in class when they sat together. Jong In managed to push Se Hun to sit in between him and Amber, but the couple didn’t even talk much, which was disappointing. Munjawashong2. Munjawashong. “Jong In! You might want to put your phone on silent!” Amber suggests, sounding annoyed. Not that she means to, but whenever she speaks, she always sounds standoffish. It’s no wonder that most people find her intimidating. Ignoring her, Jong In opens the message he receives and without replying, he makes sure his phone is on silent before putting it back into his pocket. “By the way, guys, someone else is coming with us.” “Who?” Baek Hyun asks, almost immediately. “A guy or a girl?” Chan Yeol pipes in and laughs at his own comment, “If it’s a guy, it’d look like we are on a double date.” Jong In smirks in a cryptical way that makes the four look at him questioningly. “My aunty.” “Your aunty?” Baek Hyun looks at him sceptically as Chan Yeol, Sulli, and Amber look unsure. “What is she coming for?” “Oh, she is invited too, along with my grandma ‘coz she is like Se Hun’s mum’s friend from the Mothers’ Choir Group at our church.” The bell rings, ending their discussion. Jong In gets off his seat to make way to his class, before leaving, he turns to Amber with a mischievous look, “Don’t worry! If that girl dares to throw herself at Se Hun at the party, I’ll preserve his ity for you with my body!” Sulli bursts out laughing through her blush as Baek Hyun and Chan Yeol roll over in laughter. “Kim Jong In, you better watch out!” --- “Hey, are you invited to Se Hun’s birthday party?” Myung Soo raises a brow in an are-you-seriously-asking-me-that way, “Why should I be invited to a birthday party of someone I don’t even talk to?” “Didn’t think so,

Time: 00:01
“I will punch you if you dare to call me ‘Ambaby’ again, Se Hun!” Amber threatened with all seriousness, cringing as she said the nickname herself. “I swear!” “Can I call you Koala?” He closed his eyes as a Spongebob pillow was thrown onto his face and bounced off onto the bed. “Lizard?” He received another blow, this time from a bigger pillow. “Ambie?” His face was met with another soft blow from a second rectangular pillow. “But we need a petname for each other!” Se Hun whined like a kid, pouting for good measure. He just never seemed to be embarrassed to act like that in front of her. He knew that she loves him and accepts him the way he is, his awkwardly shy side and his apathetically serious side. He is just not afraid of her judging him. “How about ‘Llama’?” A bolster was thrown into him, hitting the side of his face. Instead of feeling hurt, he felt his chest swell with happiness and he could not stop his face muscle from smiling. He then felt a hard pull on his collar and he opened his eyes to come face to face with his girlfriend. “The name is Amber. If you dare to call me any petnames, I’m breaking up with you!” This time, his eyes widened and his panic rose. “Amber! Don’t say that! Fine!” He sulked. “Good,” she said and he froze. Because she made their lips meet.
