It's a night before the Grand SM Ball and everyone seems to be very busy. Everyone except Amber. I've noticed that for the past few weeks, she is not acting normal... Maybe it's because of her new feminine look. On an ordinary day, the old Amber would probably be wearing a loose graphic shirt, hiphop pants and a pair of rubber shoes for men. But now, she would wear a tank top with a loose off-shoulder shirt, shorts and a pair of sneakers with a girly design. Weird right? The only thing that was left unchanged was her short hair. I've also noticed that she's starting avoiding me. At first, I thought that I was just being too paranoid. Then, I noticed that she would purposely avoid me during our rehearsals and everytime we would meet in the corridor, she would look away and walk fast. She also doesn't talk to me as often as before. Like when we saw each other last week...

*FLASHBACK*

 I was in the dance studio alone, waiting for the other Shinee and f(x) members. We were supposed to practice for our prod number during the ball. Everyone else was not yet there. I was about to go out when Amber came in...

"Hey, Amber!" 

"Oh, Hi Minho." Her voice sounds so sullen. Normally, she would greet me with her big smile and super loud voice. Now, it seems like I was facing a new Amber. It was strange. I have to talk to her.

"Uhm, Amber?"

"Yeah?" She answered as she was fixing her stuff.

"I hope you wouldn't mind but... ah... are you ok?" she paused for a while before she answered.

"Y-yeah... I'm okay." She stuttered and continued fixing her stuff as if I weren't there.

What's wrong? Why is she acting like this? Why is she avoiding me? I decided to swallow all of my questions and sat down on the chair in a corner. An atmosphere of awkwardness hung around the room. I found it hard to talk to her after what happened a while ago so I put on my earphones and pretended to be asleep. A few minutes later, I heard someone enter the dance studio...

"Hey Amber!" Someone shouted. It was Sulli. She entered the dance hall and I still pretended to be asleep.

"Shh...  Minho's sleeping." Amber whispered. Was she observing me??? Maybe. Maybe not. Come on, Minho. You were the only ones in the studio a while ago so of course she saw you sleeping. (or pretending, at least)

"Oh, sorry" Sulli apologized. "Listen, Amber. I have to tell you something..." Her voice sounded so serious. Wait, should I still pretend to be asleep? It looks like they're about to talk about something very important...

"Sulli, If it's another endless rant about me not going to the ball please, spare me." Amber replied. Why doesn't she want to go? I think I have to continue pretending to be asleep and listen.

"But Amber, It's not gonna be the same without you! Please? Plus, your Prince Charming will be there~" Prince Charming??? Who the hell is this guy?!? AIsh! Does she like someone now? Is this why she agreed to change her image??? I continued to listen to their conversation.

"It wouldn't matter if he would be there..." she said with a somewhat sad voice. "He wouldn't notice me anyway. Plus, I don't think he likes me back. He treats me like I'm his younger sister and nothing more..."Great... just great... who is this Prince Charming guy anyway??? I wanna punch him in the face for being such a total jerk! He doesn't deserve Amber! If he's not gonna treat her right, then he doesn't even deserve to live! Aish!

" I'm sorry, Amber." Sulli apologized. "You know what, why don't we grab some food and come back later? It's my treat since I made you feel bad." Sulli said and with that, they both left the dance studio.

*END OF FLASHBACK*

Right now, I'm fitting my tuxedo for tomorrow's event. I honestly don't want to attend because Amber won't be there but we are going to perform tomorrow so I'll have to be there. I'm really hoping that Amber is going to be there tomorrow but based on what I have heard last week, I think she's not gonna be there...
