3 and a half months later ...

I have to say that I'm the happiest person in the world? Why? Our second mini album is a big hit in Asia and "Electric Shock" is becoming more popular in United States, so I think our group will be busy because of our mini album. But other than that, I'm also happy -------- NO! SCRATCH THAT ... SO MUCH happy, because Jessi and I are now in good terms. Yeah, guys. You heard it right! I called Jessica by her nickname. Sounds shocking right? Well after that conversation in our dorm, everything changed. We're not shy when we bump each other, we often talk when we visit their dorm and the awkwardness between us is already gone.

Actually, some of our common friends were shocked when they found out that we're already in good terms, well I can't blame them because if I were in their shoes, I might react like them as well. But now, they're getting used to it. Sometimes, they think that we're dating because the way we treat each other is .... Different. Different from "friends" they say. I remember, when we were in LA for SMTOWN, they say that we act like a couple because we're so "intimate" with each other. But when, we were on stage we hide our "friendship" behind those cameras. Hence, we're like strangers when we were on stage or in-front of the camera. I don't know, when did it start? It just happen and also its okay with me.

"Hey, Amber!" I looked up to see Key approaching me together with Jonghyun. We're at Starbuck's coffee and I want to chill-out since I have my free time.

"Hey bros!" I stood up from my chair and gave them a bump fist as soon as they reached my table. I sat across from them, while Key sat beside Jonghyun.

"Key, Jonghyun. Did you guys order, yet?" I asked, both of them shook their heads. "Key, what do you want? I'll order it for you." Key just nod without looking at him, like Key was mad at Jonghyun. I raised my eyebrows because of my curiosity. What's wrong with these two?

"Amber, what is your frappucinno?" Key stated in English. I noticed that Jonghyun furrowed his eyebrows and sighed in disbelief. He leaned back on his seat and stared at the window.

"Uhhmm .. Espresso." I answered, as I took a sip in my drink. He nod and he avert his attention to Jonghyun. He called him by his nickname. Jonghyun look at him and Key gave him a stern look.

"Frappucinno, Espresso, Venti." He simply stated while crossing his arms, avoiding any eye contact with him. Jonghyun stood up from his chair with a disappointed face. He headed towards the counter to order Key's request.

= BEEP = = BEEP =

I reached my Blackberry Bold 9900 on the table and when I saw who's the messenger, a smile formed on my lips. I tap the center button and read the message:

From: Sica :D

Hey, Am! Good afternoon! Did you have your lunch already? If not .. Then, go out and eat your lunch! I don't want you to skip meals, okay? You might get sick and I don't want my llama to get sick! OH! And by the way, where are you? ^^

I know, I'm smiling like an idiot right now and I can feel Key's weird looks at me even thought, I'm too focused on Jessica's message. I can't help but to grin when she said "my llama" and yes, I like it. If you're wondering that we're dating ... Well, No! Uhhmm .. NOT YET! And if you'll ask me if I like her? Well, I don't have to answer that, because its pretty obvious.

To: Sica :D

Aww .. How did you know? I did not eat anything yet. Well, of course .. Except for breakfast, but other than that, none. I'm here at Starbuck's together with Key and Jonghyun. How about you? :)

I pressed the green button to send the message to her. I put my phone back on the table and looked up to see Key and Jonghyun giving me a creepy smile. I did not even notice that Jonghyun is already there back from the counter. I gave them a what-did-i-do look and then, suddenly my phone rang. The two lads leaned forward over the table to check who's the caller. I quickly grabbed my phone and shoved it away from them. I pushed the green button not even looking at the caller ID. Then I placed my phone on my right ear.

"Hello?" I answered looking at Key and Jonghyun as they sighed for not knowing who's the caller.

"Amber, what did I tell you? I said that I don't want you to skip meals! Aish! Come over at my condo! Palli! I'm not taking any rejection! --------- Bye!" And she hung-up, not even giving me a chance to talk.

                                                                                     ######################

"How is it? Delicious?" While I was munching the spaghetti which made by Jessica, I looked at her. She's sitting next to me and her face is asking me if her food is great.

"YESH! MASHI-E-SAWYO" I exclaimed as I gave her a thumbs-up. She giggled in response and I avert my attention at my food again as I twirl the past with my fork.

I'm here alone with Jessica at her condo. I left the two boys at the coffee shop, I told them that I'm going to Jess' condo. As expected, the two teased me like there's no tomorrow. They even told me that this is the great time for me, because we're alone in her place. As a response, I smack their heads and then ran as fast as I can through the exit.

"Woooh! Done! Wow! Its great, Jessi! Now my stomach is full!" I said as I lean back on my seat while patting my stomach. I'm pretty lucky that she just called me here to cook for me.

"Aish! Why are you so hard-headed? Seriously, Amber!" I can't help but to smile, while she's lecturing me. I really love when she's acting like that.

"W-what?" She stuttered when she noticed that I'm smiling like an idiot. I also noticed that she's blushing because of my actions towards her. Cute!

Then, I slowly glanced at her beautiful brown eyes down to her pointy nose and then, lastly to her lips. Her luscious lips, which is so soft. I want to taste it. I want to know what it taste like. Then, there's something pushing me at the back, somewhat like gravity. I unconsciously lean forward and noticed that she's not moving. So I pursue myself for capturing those pinkish lips. She closed her eyes and I closed mine too and I can feel her hot breathe on my face and I can already feel her lips on mine and then ...

RRIINNGG!!

RRIINNGG!!

I want to throw my phone in the garbage for ruining our moment! I opened my eyes and quickly pulled away. I feel that my face is hot because of what happened and I can say that I'm blushing, even though I can't see my face.

"A-answer it, Am." She smiled shyly. I swear, I saw her blush. Her face is like a tomato now. I smiled mentally because of her cuteness! I grabbed my phone into my pocket and looked at the caller ID. Its Woori.

"OH! Woori! What's up?" I don't know why but the temperature here decreases as I mentioned Woori's name. I think  the AC has some defects.

"Amber! Hi! Uhmm .. Hey, I'm here at your agency together with my co-members." She said from the other line with a tint of excitement.

"OH! Really? What are you guys doing there?"

"Uuhhh .. Well, I'll just tell you if you're already here. So if you want to know ... Come here fast!" I heard her giggle when she said the last part. I wonder what are they doing there?

"Aww .. Such a tease!" Then suddenly, Jessica stood up from her chair like a mad person. I looked at her and she went to the living room with a poker face. I furrowed my eyebrows because of her mood swing. I sighed and I didn't notice that Woori heard it.

"Am? You okay? Is there anything bothering you?" She asked in a concerned way.

"Uhh .. No. Nothing. Uhmm .. Hey, Woori. I think I have to go. My battery is almost empty. Sorry about that! But I'll promise, I'll go there later." I excused myself even though, my reason is only a lie. I know its wrong but my subconscious mind is telling me to hung-up already.

"Oh .." I can hear her disappointment in her voice. "Okay. I'll wait for you okay? Just meet me at 3B dance studio. Okay?"

"Yeah! Yeah! Sure! Okay ----- Bye!" Then, I hung-up. I looked behind to see Jessica who was on the couch while flipping through the channels lazily. I stood up and I walked towards the living room. I sat beside her and she has still this face with no emotion.

"Jess?" No response. Not even looking at me. "Hey, what's wrong?" I tilt my head to the right side to see her face. She looked at me shortly and she avert her attention again on the TV. I sighed, bitting my lower lip.

"Hey .. I don't want to see you like that." I pinched her cheek softly. "If you don't want to tell me .. Its fine." I said as I remove my hand from her cheek. Finally she looked at me with calm eyes. I leaned forward as I run my lips from the edge of to her cheek slowly and kissed it. She hit my chest slyly while smiling with a pink shade on her cheeks.

"Hey .. I think I have to go." With that, her smile on her face faded. Giving me a pout.

"Aigoo .. Don't worry I'll visit you next time, okay? Thanks for the pasta." She nodded. I stood up and then suddenly she grabbed my left wrist. I looked down at her and she stood up from the couch as well.

"Text me, okay?" She said, before giving me a kiss on the cheek. I smiled at her and nodded in reassurance.

"CHEONGMAL??!!" My voice echoed in the dance room, when Woori told me about the shocking "news". Woori giggled because of my reaction. I blinked several times while my mouth was halfway open.

"Hehe! You're funny, Berber!" She hit my arm playfully and I'm still frozen on my position. "Hehe! Okay enough with that, Berber. Let's go outside!" She grabbed my left arm and pulled me out from the dance room.

"Woori." When we were at the hallway in-front of the dance studio, I called her which cause us to halt. She looked at me with a curious face.

"Wae, Berber? You still don't believe me?" She asked with her aegyo. I chuckled putting my hands on her shoulders.

"No! Actually, I'm really happy! REALLY happy because we're already a family .... Right?" A sweet smile formed on her face and then suddenly she gave me a bear hug. I gave her a pat on the back while my other hand was her hair. She looked up to me and all of a sudden, she gave me a quick peck on the cheek.

"YAH!" She exclaimed as I ruffled her hair. Then, we pulled away from the hug. "What was that for?" She said while fixing her hair. I shook my head as a response.

"Berber, I think I have to go. I still have some appointments to finish. ------ Bye! See you!" Then she peck me on the cheek again and ran away from me. I chuckled at her childish behavior.

Its been 2 weeks and a half since she was avoiding. Yes. Its her, Jessica. I don't know why but, after the day when I visit at her condo, the way she treat me its .. Its .. Different. Like a stranger, as if she don't know me. I tried to talk to her but she's always saying that she's busy. I can understand that because they just got a new song and its ready for release. But, I'm not asking to spend her whole time with me. I just need a serious conversation with her, why is she treating me this way ... AGAIN?

"Hyung? You're spacing-out again?" I snapped-out from my thoughts as I heard Sulli's voice. "Hyung! Look at them! Aish! Hyung, your broke!" I looked over to see who she's pointing at. Then, I saw Jessica and Taecyeon acting "lovey-dovey" at each other. I unconsciously clenched my fist when he put his arm around Jessica's waist, her sides gently. I don't know why Mr. Lee thought an idea to have a collaboration concert with JYP artists. But from the view, I'm looking at .. I feel that my insides want to burn!

"Its okay hyung! Don't let them ruin your mood. We're here to perform. Just set aside it for awhile. Look at the fans the'yre happy to see us. You should be happy too hyung!" She said as she pat my back. She's right. I should set aside it for awhile, since the concert is about to end, where all SM and JYP artists were on the stage, I should be energetic in-front of our fans since they came here for us. I nod at her encouragement and wrapped my right arm around her shoulders. I wave at the fans happily, like the other artists did. Then, we head back to the back stage when the concert ended.

Mr. Lee and JYP invited us (all the artists) to have a party because of the success of the concert. They rented a whole club for us and I knew that Yuri-unnie like it. As I was walking alone to go to the bathroom, I bump onto Woori. There, she's asking me if I'll go to the party. When I said yes, I can see the excitement in her eyes and when she's about to leave, she gave me kiss on the cheek and left. I think that's her "habit", I thought. When I came back to our dressing room, Sulli told me that Sica is not coming and she don't know why? I want to ask Krystal, but she was nowhere to be found.

I decided not to go there since I'm dead tired and you know .. My other reason. I told manager-oppa that I'll use my car. Fortunately, he agreed. And now, I'm driving in the middle of nowhere and I don't know where I want to go. Then, I remember what I saw earlier. God, my heart is clenching everytime I remember that scene. I want to punch that guy for being a ert! Pfft! But I think I can't do that. We're not a couple and we're not even dating. We're only friends and even though that we're friends, I don't want to go back like before that we're treating each other like strangers. Aish! That's it! I'm sick of this! I'll go to her place, even if she don't want me to go there!

                                                                                   ####################              

= DING DONG! = = DING DONG! =

I waited for her to open the door. I know I'm getting impatient and at the same time I'm getting nervous. What if she's not here? What if she's with Taecyeon? What if she's already dating him? AAIISSHH! So much speculations!

I was about to press the doorbell once again, when the door suddenly swung open. "A-amber?"

"J-jessica .. " God, I missed her. I missed her beautiful face. Her voice. I miss being with her. I miss everything. I looked at her straight in the eyes and I can see that there's sadness and anger? Jess? What's wrong? What did I do to you?
