Chapter Ten: Flashback
Dying To See YouFlashback
Amber walks out from Myungsoo’s house and into the streets to head home. Amber couldn’t think of a reason why Myungsoo was acting like that. Shouldn’t he be glad that she wanted to be his friend? She can’t think. Amber walked down a few blocks away from the house and found her way into the main road. She passed the school a few minutes ago. The whole way Amber kept thinking about Myungsooo. He seems so distant to his mom when they arrived at home. Maybe he is the quiet type. Amber thought. Why is he so cold to his mother when she is so nice? Unless that she isn’t actually his real mother but he is adopted? Is that why everyone is bullying him because he is adopted? That’s a possibly.
“What am I doing? Am I his mother or something? Why am I fussing over this?”Amber sighs before she bumped into someone making her apologize to the person she bumped into. “I’m so sorry!” Amber said in a worried tone as she kept bowing to the stranger, not daring to look at the stranger.“Are you okay Amber?”Amber has frozen solid as she wonder how he knew her name. She looked up and gasped. Her heart skipped a beat as she realized who she’d bumped into. Her cheeks flushed as she once again saw his killer smile like when they first met.“Why must every time we meet, we “bump” into one and another?” Kris jokes as he flashes his smile unconsciously. Amber smiled back as he knew he meant. When they first met, a football had “bumped” into Amber’s head and Kris had brought her to the nurse’s office and helped her with the wounds.“You come here to have some bubble tea as well?”Kris looks behind him at the bubble tea shop and then looks back at her. Amber snaps out of her daydream and just realized that there was a bubble tea shop, if Kris did not bump into her she wouldn’t have known that there was a bubble tea shop.“Uh… Yeah, I was about to go grab one.”Amber lied.“Want to get some together if you don’t mind?” It surprised Amber that Kris had asked her to hang out. Amber kept it cool and gave a single nod and started to walk towards the bubble tea shop. While inside of Amber it’s like a crazy bees working in a beehive.
They walked towards the bubble tea shop and being the gentlemen, Kris opens the door and held for her.“Ladies first.”Kris smiled. Amber couldn’t stop fangirling inside that she is hanging out with Kris and that smile of his… Just oh my god. Amber walked in the shop with Kris right behind her.“Hello how can- Hey Kris!” Amber watches Kris and the cute worker exchange bro handshakes.“ Oh hey Amber! Do you remember me?” Amber looks at the cute worker and realizes that it was Sehun.“Sehun? It that you?”Amber jolts in surprise.“Heh heh, so anyways what you guys doing here?”Sehun asks as if it wasn’t obivious. “Don’t get your hopes up. We came here for bubble tea, not for you.”Kris says coldly as if the conversation was getting annoying between him and Sehun.“Okay, okay, what do you want Amber?”Sehun askes Amber completely ignores Kris presence. Amber froze with her eyes wide open. ’What do I want…’ Amber’s hands started to shake as she tried to remmeber what she had always ordered back in America but she couldn’t muster anything. Amber shuts her eyes tightly trying hard to remember but images flashes in her mind back what had happen when she left the school back in America…
“Amber was sitting in her usual spot in the bubble tea shop back in America. Today Amber finally felt free. A day without bullies. A day with being ignored by people because they were so scared of them. A day living like a normal student. She was happy. Amber sipped up the rest of her bubble tea before getting up and throwing it in the trash. Amber left the bubble tea shop and started to walk of the direction where they sell CDS. Amber couldn’t wait to get the newest Infinite album. She loved it when she heard it online, she’ll love it even more when she get the actual album! Amber walkes in to the CD shop and pays for the album that she had reordered. After Amber received the album, she has left the CD shop.
Amber found the dark sky looking down at her. “! Moms is going to get mad.”Amber cursed and started to run in her house’s direction. On the way to her house Amber felt someone was following her and it started to scared Amber once she saw a shadow on the floor. More and more shadows started to appear. Amber kept looking at the shadow and saw that the shadow had a long rod in his hands that looked like a bat and the shadow was in a hitting position. Next thing Amber knew was a big pain extracted from her head and she fell forward. Amber’s vision blurred and her ears ringing. Amber heard a familiar voice.“Aw poor Amber, you messed with us, karma’s going to get you back .”
“Amber. Amber, are you okay?”Kris noticed that Amber had froze and her scared look in her face. He waved his hand infont of Amber’s face. He notice Amber’s hand start to shake uncontrollably and it was worrying Kris.“What’s wrong with her? Yo, Kris take her out to give her breather it will help. I’ll get your drink outside.”Sehun said as he left to make the bubble tea for the two. Kris followed Sehun’s directions and took Amber outside and sat on the bench out side the bench. Kris looked at Amber in cautious and saw tears were forming in her eyes. “Amber! Amber! Amber are you okay?” Amber unconsciously had tears rolling down her face. Kris couldn’t help but to pull Amber into a tight hug which made Amber come back to reality.
Amber felt someone embracing her and realized that Kris had pulled her into a hug. Was her syndrome happening again? After she had lost her memory, Amber kept getting glimpses of flashback of how her life was back then. Every time she does Amber would freeze shake and maybe cry a little depending how horrifying the memory was. Even though her ‘crush’ was hugging her tightly, she couldn’t help but to feel depressed and maybe a little happy? Happy that she could remember what happened on how she lost her memory and the fact that Kris is hugging her tightly? Amber couldn’t tell why she felt déjà vu. She kept getting this familiar feeling between Kris her. She felt like she was once in her arms before. Maybe just that his perfume was the same as her old friend? She doesn’t know and she doesn’t care. Amber returned the hug that made Kris jump a little in surprise but relaxed and smiled warmly and closed his eyes and embraced the hug.

“Aish, after screaming at her why do I feel so guilty. Should I go after her and apologize? Maybe I should give her a chance… Maybe she might not be bad as her. Yeah Myungsoo let’s go.” It has been only twenty minutes since Amber has left the house. In that twenty minutes kept thinking about Amber and the devastated look on the face when she left. Myungsoo blames it on his hormones. He couldn’t help to feel guilty and he might of hurt a girl that wanted to be his friend. Myungsoo got up and kept thinking after he apologizes to Amber maybe they could hang out and get to know each other more. Myungsoo looks in his closet and tried to pick out the best outfit that he never worn. After deciding what he was going to wear he took off his nerd glasses and put on his contact lens and looked at the time it’s been 30 minutes. Myungsoo hopes that she didn’t get home by now and started to head out to find her. Myungsoo didn’t know why his heart kept beating really fast. Mybe just that he was excited to have a friend to hang out with. Myungsoo headed out with a smile on his face but Myungsoo didn’t know what he was headed out for.
To be continued
His smile would be taken,
and his depression state may get worse.
Or is this an experience that something that will change him to be stronger and better?
And maybe handsomer?
