Paper Bag

My Brother's Substitute

Miss me? :P 

“I’m sorry if you weren’t been able to enjoy this vacation” Krystal said as she placed her bag on the sofa.

They just arrived from the hospital after 2 days of confinement for her to fully recover and give precautionary meds since the doctor told them that her anemia is quite dangerous for a pregnant lady.

She remembered how Amber scurried off to buy those medicines and even added some fruits before going back home to get some clothes for her that made her want to cry but then she thought she might just be another level up of being emotional since she’s pregnant so she let it pass.

“It’s okay, we still have two days anyway and besides that mango cake tastes so delicious that I am craving for more”

Krystal’s eyes widened when the realization hit her, yeah her mango cake was on the fridge and she was dying to taste it if that stomach ache didn’t happen.

“You ate it?!”

“Yep, I don’t have time to grab some real meal when I went here the other day so I just took your cake and went back to you”

“Went back to you” those words replayed in Krystal’s mind and she felt something strange that she couldn’t even describe but again, since she might just be emotional, she let it pass.

“How dare you, you need to treat me for eating my cake.”

“Cuisine?”

“Cuisine?”

“American or Korean?”

“American”

“Deal”

“What’s this?” Krystal’s eyes caught the black paper bag hidden beside Amber’s travelling bag and somehow her curiosity sparked unintentionally that she started to walk towards it.

Lucky for Amber to see what Krystal was referring to right before the girl took hold of it that she was able to grab it and prevent any form of another world war.

“That’s nothing” She hid it behind her and cursing herself as to why that paper bag was still there, as far as she thought, she left in in Seoul.

“Why won’t you let me see it? Isn’t it friends share everything together?” Krystal pouted in such a way that Amber wanted to curse herself for finding it very cute.

“Because this is personal, Krys.”

“Personal? How come? Come on, I just wanna take a peek?”

“No… This is…”

“Krys! Amber!” The latter wanted to thank the heavens for saving her life when Tiffany suddenly entered their room, she was wearing a huge smile on her face that seemed like a smile of triumph and joy.

“Tiffany unnie?” Krystal’s eyes beamed after seeing her, they became friends in those two days she was in the hospital.

It all started when Tiffany started to tell almost everything about Amber’s dorky past that they immediately clicked, she suddenly learned that behind those calm, dark eyes was a playful kid that does silly things.

“I like to invite you two to have lunch with me and Taeyeon, that ahjumma was hard to convince you know”

“Sure! So shall we go?” Amber threw the paper bag inside her back and locked it.

“You just want to go because you wouldn’t let me see what’s inside that paper bag”

“Paper bag?” Tiffany asked. Eyeing Amber with a glint of tease.

“Yes, she has this black paper bag that she hides from me though… I don’t know why I’m so curious to take a look at it anyway.”

“Forget the bag Krys. We’ll just get you a good lunch and some mangoes… let’s go?” Tiffany motioned her to leave the room first where her sister was grumbling, obviously annoyed about Tiffany’s sudden arrangement.

Taeyeon wanted to leave Krystal and Amber alone to have their own get – to – know each othe stage but Tiffany just keep on popping out from nowhere to annoy her, damn she even tried to seduce her. Not that she hates having someone as noisy as Tiffany around her since she’s enjoying it too… well not always but she makes her forget all her problems for a while and recently she notices herself getting more attached and she would never make a mistake of getting attached to someone ever again.

“Stephi” Amber seriously called after the door of their room was shut closed.

“Yes?”

“You placed that here didn’t you?”

“What?”

“The over-sized…you know”

“Noo…” She might make her face look passive and innocent but her voice betrayed her and she wanted to laugh at herself because of that.

“Fool me”

“I just thought it would become handy, you know if you two will – “

“My relationship with Seulgi is still a mess Stephi and I still want to try and fix it”

“Is that what your heart says Amber?”

“We shared more than 2 years of relationship together – “

“And it doesn’t mean that she’s the one, you can find your true love even if you just meet her for asingle hour”

“But still – “

“And your relationship was more of a bestfriend type for me, not the usual ‘I want to eat you up’ look you give to Krystal”

“Stephi, let’s stop this. I plan to go visit her in LA next week. Give me this chance please”

Tiffany sighed and silently nodded, though she disapprove of it, she wanted Amber to find things out for herself, she was sure that her cousin likes her. Amber and Seulgi were all flowers and chocolates, happy, carefree and peaceful. They never got into a single argument and that’s the big difference between them and Krystal, She can see how Amber might struggle to keep up with the other’s demands but she can see her always look satisfied whenever she sees Krystal smile and it more when Krystal learned her true self.

“Fine. But now, we need to enjoy these last two days we have”

“I’ll treat Krystal a mango cake” and then again, she saw that satisfied look at Amber or more than that.

 

Heart and flowers right? So who wants drama? :P
