That same day

Amber POV

Practice is over. Thank goodness. I think it went pretty well. Luna was acting weird today. I wonder why. 

I didn't know what to do after practice. Knowing that Rachel was home. I decided to visit her. 

I grabbed my keys and phone and started walking for the door. "I'm gunna go visit Rachel, you guys!" I yelled through the dorm. Nobody objected. But when I said Rachel's name

"What. Why?" Luna sprung up from the couch. "Uhm. I always go see her when I have free time.." I responded. I thought she knew that

"Oh.. Tell her.. I said hi" Luna sighed and laid back down on the couch. Hmm, she's really really acting strange..

---

When I got to Rachel's dorm, opening the door with a spare key she made for me and f(x), it was silent. I couldn't hear anything at all. Dead silence. "Rachel, I'm here. I called like 30 times and you never answered. So I just decided to come anyway!!" I yelled. Could it be that she's not home? She's usually home this time of day, this time of the week.

"I have good news. Our boss is letting you open for us on tour. Isn't that great. You keeping telling me how much you want to work and get outta the house!!" I yelled again with a smile on my face. I was so happy that she was coming with us, but what happened between Rachel and Luna was so weird. Do they hate each other?

Is Luna mad at Rachel?

Is Rachel mad at Luna?

Did they make up? 

Questions clouded my brain. I was sitting in the kitchen making some ramen when I heard something up stairs. It was a person's voice. It sounded like someone crying. "Maybe I should leave.. If she's crying.." I thought while eating the noodles. "I should just go check. Just to make sure" I concluded my thoughts and headed for Rachel's room. 

The cries started to get louder. When I was outside her door, they stopped and it was silent again. Then I heard a scream coming from inside. It was quiet, but I could still hear it, as if it was being muffled. I rushed in and saw Rachel on the bed, screaming into a pillow.

I ran over to her "Hey what's wrong??" 

She looked up at me.

She looked like hell. Her hair was a mess, her eyes were green and puffy. Her nose and cheeks were red. Tears falling like rain. She looked horrible. After seeing her like this, I had to know why. She told me all about how Ryeowook oppa like Luna, and Rachel wasn't jealous, only upset that Ryeowook was making "bad choices". And then, she told me about the fight they got in, and how the fight was the reason she was like this. It took her almost an hour to tell me the whole story because she couldn't pull herself together. She loved Ryeowook so much, like a big sibling. Everyone knew and believed that Luna was too young, except Ryeowook. He didn't want to believe it since he really liked her. 

"I was stupid to be so protective and so negative. I should let him do whatever. He's a man and I'm just me. Why did I try to control him?" Rachel cried.

"It's what best friends do.. You were taken by surprise and that's how you reacted. Then you thought about it more and came to realization. What have you realized?" I asked her

"I've realized, that I was wrong. He's free to date whomever. And I shouldn't hold him back. And... Him and Luna would look perfect together.." she sighed, finally starting to calm down. I smiled. "Why can't her family be more accepting?" she asked

I just shrugged. "Ever since we got back from practice, Ryeowook has been calling Luna, but she's ignored every one" I frowned. 

And to that, Rachel whipped out her phone and dialed Luna's number and put it on speaker. She looked up at me and put her finger up to her lips to signal me to stay quiet. Then, Luna picked up

"Yobseyo?"

"Hi. It's me"

"... Are you mad at me?"

"No. Of course not. Why would I be mad?"

"I have a confession" 

Rachel's eyes widened a little

"What is it?"

"I listened in on your fight with Ryeowook oppa"

Rachel started to tear up again.

----

Rachel POV

"I listened in on your fight with Ryeowook oppa" Luna's sweet voice said in the phone. I couldn't help but cry again at the thought. Remembering his face, screaming in mine. His tears falling. Because of me, I made him so sad and angry. One of my best friends. Even if he called me names, he had the right to

"Okay" I said flatly

"Are you mad at me?" she asked again

"No. I'm not mad.. I called because I heard you've been ignoring his calls"

"Yeah. After I watched and listened, I don't know what to say"

"Well I'm telling you now that.. I was wrong. The things I said are no longer valid. I want you to call him, or answer next time he decides to call. Tell him.. That you heard the whole fight" I said

Instantly, she screamed in the phone "No! I can't"

"You should. He's calling you because he needs someone to talk to. You don't have to tell him, But it would be easier if you did" I explained

She just sighed. Then there was a silence. "Please talk to him. He needs someone. He needs you... And he won't come to me because I know he's still mad at me.. So I'm out. We need to fix this. I want to be your friend again because we're going on tour" I smiled at the last part. Finally, I'll have work to do.

"How'd you find out? Amber?" she asked. "Yepp. So we need to stop the drama" 

She sighed "Okay. I'll call him back. Thanks for understanding"

"You're welcome. And honestly, I think you guys would be an amazing couple" I smiled "Thanks, but it's not gunna happen. He's too old for me. You were right" she said "We'll see" I smiled

3rd person POV

Luna dialed Ryeowook's number and heard the ring. She thought in her head what she should say, and how it would all go down. Then, Ryeowook finally picked. 

"Y-yobseyo" he stuttered in a shaky voice. He's obviously been crying. "Hey. It's me, Luna" she said. 

"Oh Luna! I just made the biggest mistake of my life! One of my best friends is gone for two years and my other best friend hates me for what I said to her, for what I called her. Why did I called her that?? I was just mad. Nothing I said was true. I was so wrong! I want her back as my best friend! I screwed up so bad! I need someone to talk to!" he rambled into the phone, crying. "It's okay.. Calm down.. And I know everything" she said calmly. "W-what?" he asked weakly

"I was there listening when you fought with Rachel. I heard the whole thing" Luna shuddered. She hated telling him that she invaded her privacy, but it was easier this way. Ryeowook sobbed into the phone "You probably think I'm a horrible person, for what I called her. Right?" he sobbed louder and louder. 

"No. Of course not. You were just mad. I would've done something much like that" Luna laughed. "Luna, how do I get my best friend back??" Ryeowook cried "I feel so terrible. I regret it all!"

"I know you do. I just got off the phone with Rachel, she thinks she was the one that's wrong and she regrets being so controlling and so violent. I think you should just go to her house and apologize" Luna suggested. 

"*sniffles* Okay" 

"And just for you information, if you have.. Any feelings for me.. At all like that.. I can't be with you.. I'm too young and my family wouldn't allow it.. I'm sorry." she apologized, feeling a small tear drop from her eye. 

"I hope someday, we can change that.." he sighed.

Luna blushed and said goodbye to Ryeowook.

Rachel POV

It's been two hours since we got off the phone with Luna, I wonder what happened.

After we got off the phone, I finally stopped crying and we decided to watch a movie and invited SHINee over. When it started getting dark Onew and I walked up to the roof. When we went up, I told him what happened between me and Ryeowook, and how he likes Luna and the huge . 

"That is a big age difference. I know Luna's parents. Even I'm too old for her in their eyes" Onew stared at the stars. I looked over at his face and looked at his perfect eyes. His kissable lips and I couldn't help but smile to myself at how handsome my love was. "I hope that someday they can be together. That someday won't be this day, but still. Someday" I sighed looking up at the dark sky again. "I love you so much. I'm happy I got to spend time with you" I continued. He looked down at me and smiled. "How have you been? With the voices?" he asked. I totally forgot about the voices. Which is probably a good thing.

"I haven't been hearing as often.. I just needed someone to talk to. I'm really dependent.." she sighed in disappointment. "Nothing to be proud of"

"I just hope you're okay. I heard you're going on tour. Congrats" he smiled. "How have been with Leeteuk hyung gone?" 

That's when I remembered Leeteuk and how much I missed him. Just the other day, a rumor was spread on twitter that him and Heechul were shot and killed by friendly fire. But SM confirmed that they were fake. Me and Ryeowook went crazy after we heard about it. 

"I'm taking it better than I thought. He's a hero for serving this country" I smiled.

"Yah! I can be a hero too! I have to go into the army in a few years." Jinki sighed "But.." he said but stopped when he got closer and crashed our lips together. I felt butterflies in my heart. Our two year anniversary is coming up. When he pulled away, he finished his sentence. 

"... I can be your hero" he smiled. I couldn't help but blush "You already are my hero"

"And Kibum is Amber's hero. And Minho is Taemin's hero. And Ryeowook will soon be Luna's hero." I smiled at the thought. 

"Every one has someone to hold. Which is so nice" I said again, wrapping my arms around Onew while we looked up at the stars. "I love you so much" I said again. "Wow. You can't shut up" Jinki teased me

"I don't care" I sighed and closed my eyes. I wanted to kiss him, but he was too busy looking up at the stars, so I kissed his neck. 

He smiled and we cuddled. Everything felt perfect. The only thing was waiting for was Ryeowook's apology, and Leeteuk's return. 

I was close to falling asleep when my phone vibrated. I was getting call from Key. "What is it?" I pressed talk and asked. 

"Pizza's here, come on down and get it while it's still hot" he said in the phone 

>>>> Hours later.

Rachel POV

SHINee and Amber finally left around 4am and I was awake in the dorm alone with Pepper. Since she doesn't sleep at night, I decided to cuddle and play with her. I wanted to sleep, but couldn't.. I couldn't stop thinking of Ryeowook, worried for him. 

Why was I worried, he's mad at me. If anything, I'll probably be the one apologizing to him. I hope he got to talk to Luna. 

It was 8am and I haven't slept in 48 hours. A couple nights before, I decided not the sleep and played with Pepper more. People on the internet tell me that the more time you spend with the animal, the more it becomes your soul mate

I could barely walk or do anything because I was so tired. I was watching TV with Pepper on my lap, totally zoning out. It's so hard to think when you're tired, like you're on drugs.. "Ughh" I could feel myself groan. I need sleep.. Then, I heard a faint knock at the door. It was hard to hear, the lack of sleep was the life out of me, and weakening my senses. I trudged over to the door to answer and saw Ryeowook in front of me, tears slightly falling from his eyes. 

"Rachel. Please listen.. I'm so sorry for everything I said. I didn't mean it. I was just mad. I'm hoping you'll forgive me" he started, pulling out a bouqet or flowers and a small tub of ice cream. My favorite flavor, chocolate cookie dough. I started to tear up at all of things he had prepared for me. 

"I have never felt so bad in my life and haven't been able to get a wink of sleep because of the guilt I have on my shoulders. I've never regretted anything so much like this. I missed talking to you. Even if it was only for less than 24 hours. I want my best friend back. Please forgive me. Soon, Leeteuk will be able to skype with us and we have to talk to him together. I'm so sorry.. Please forgive me. For Teukkie hyung" He went on and on. He set down to flowers and ice cream down at my feet.

I was about to talk "I..." I started, but my heart couldn't take the feels, or the fatigue anymore..

Everything went black

Ryeowook POV

I finally finished my long apology to Rachel. I had flowers and her favorite flavor ice cream with me to give to her. She looked unresponsive. She looked like she hadn't slept in days, just like me, but I had coffee today so I had some energy. I could see tears falling from her eyes. I wonder what she was thinking, but I couldn't read her mind. 

I set down the flowers and ice cream at her feet so I could have arms to hug her. "I..." she tried to say. But that was it. She wasted the last of her energy on that last word. And with that, her knees gave in and she fainted. Luckily, I was able to catch her in time. I flipped her over to where she was laying in my lap. She slept so soundly. After staying up this whole time?

I picked her limp body up and carried her to bed, and put the blanket on her. 

"I got my best friend back" I said under my breath. "I missed talking to you"

"Sleep soundly" 

I picked up her sleeping body and hugged her, knowing well that she wouldn't hug back. When I put her back down. "Well, nobody will know" I thought. Then leaned down and kissed her on the cheek. 

I sat there for a few minutes and watched her sleep. Making sure she was comfortable, I walked out of her room and shut the door as quiet as I could. I then took the ice cream and put it in the freezer, put the flowers in a vase and left. "Hopefully she'll remember when she wakes up" I thought

Rachel POV

I fainted. Damn, I was just about to go to sleep. When I woke up, I was in someone's arms. Oh god what happened? Last thing I remember, Ryeowook was at my door apologizing to me with flowers and ice cream. Then I passed out. I don't know why, but I pretended to be still asleep as this person carried me. They opened the door and I could smell my perfume, so that meant I'm in my room. Then the person laid me down on my bed and put a blanket on me.

Then I heard ever so softly "I got my best friend back" I know that voice. I tried my hardest not to open my eyes "I missed talking to you" he said again. It was Ryeowook. "Sleep soundly"

He picked up my body and hugged it tight. I wanted to hug him back so bad, but I was curious of what he'd do next. He laid me back down. Then silence. 

Then out of nowhere I felt his lips touch my cheek softly. He kissed me on the cheek. 

I felt his presence for a couple more minutes while he my hair out of my face. Then he stood up and I heard my door close.

I opened my eyes to see that I was alone. I sat up in bed for a little while then laid back down. I felt my cheek and smiled "I got my best friend back" I heard myself say silently. "Please get some sleep" I said, trying to talk to Ryeowook telepathically.

After that. I laid back down in bed, I though about my favorite people. I though about my brother and how much I missed him. I thought about my parents. I thought about Amber, I thought about Jinki, and Jonghyun, and Kibum, and Minho, and Taemin. I thought about Ryeowook and Leeteuk. I thought about Hyoyeon and Taeyeon, and Luna. While I thought, I slowly closed my eyes and feel asleep again
