______________________________________________________________________________________________

“Move!”

 

“Nice to meet you too. I’m Amber. And you are?”

 

“None of your business.”

 

“I just saved your life. Shouldn’t you be nicer?”

 

“Whatever.”

 

----------

 

“Do this for me Amber.”

 

“But-”

 

“Please. Don’t you love me Amber?”

 

Amber woke up in sweats and was panting hard. She looked at her clock. It was 4am. Amber sat up on her bed and brought her knees close to her chest. It’s been happening a lot more lately…the dreams with the voice, and that  person.  Even though her dreams are only based on voices and blurred images, Amber knew well enough, who her dream was about. Amber released a heavy sigh and wiped her face before laying back down on her bed. But how was she to fall asleep after such a wake-up call? She herself, didn’t know.  All she knows is that she had to once again close her eyes and force herself to sleep, just like 2 years ago.

 

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

“AMBER!!!!!!” Amber flinched a little at Sooyoung’s voice but ignored it and went back to sleep. She wasn’t scared of Sooyoung.

 

“Leave me alone. Today’s Monday. No work.” Amber raised her voice a little bit, just loud enough for Sooyoung to hear. In contrast, Sooyoung gave her answer by continuously pounding on the door.

 

“Open this door now before I kick it down!!!” Sooyoung’s threat went to deaf ears. Amber wanted more sleep and nothing was going to stop her-

 

“AMBER!!!! WAKE UP!! NOW!!” Amber rolled off her bed and rubbed her after the thunderous voice of Taeyeon. Taeyeon must have been woken up by Sooyoung’s screaming as well. 

 

“Damn it!” Amber grumbled before reluctantly opening her bedroom door. The moment Amber opened the door, Sooyoung walked in with a wide smile while followed by a grumpy Taeyeon.

 

“Okay…please do come in and violate my right to privacy and a proper sleep.” Amber sarcastically commented aloud and took sat on the ground since her bed was occupied by her sisters.

 

“Wish granted.” Taeyeon bluntly answered and entered the room, causing Amber to flip the finger at her. Taeyeon retaliated by flipping her finger too.

 

“Yah! No middle fingers and no iness. Especially you Taeyeon.” Sooyoung warned as she flicked Taeyeon and Amber on their foreheads.

 

“Ow~Fine! Then why are the both of you here. It’s only-” Amber stopped and looked at her clock. “-its only 1pm.” Amber finished with a yawn as she scratched her a little.

 

Taeyeon was disgusted at Amber’s behavior. “First of all…that’s just nasty Amber. Scratch your when I’m not here. Second of all, I was dragged from my bed to your room. And third, scratch your in front of Sooyoung next time. She deserves it for waking me up from my beauty sleep.” Taeyeon then glared at Sooyoung, who only gave her a ‘i-don’t-care’ look.

 

“Ehem! I woke both of you up because I need help.” Sooyoung admitted with a frown. Taeyeon and Amber looked at Sooyoung with suspicion.

 

“Whatever it is, it better be worth it.” Amber snarled before going in fetal position on the floor. “Go on…what do you need help with Soo?”

 

“I-uh…ineedtomeetJessicaandbothofyouarecomingwithme.” Sooyoung said in one breath. Amber just gave her a “wtf did you say” look while Taeyeon lightly smacked Sooyoung’s head.

 

“Say that again. And make sure to say it slowly or you will get another one of my fists.” Taeyeon warned. Sooyoung sighed and then repeated herself.

 

“I said…I need to meet Jessica and both of you are coming with me.”

 

“Why do you need us?” Amber sleepily asked. She just wanted to go back to sleep.

 

“Because I don’t have her cell number and I was suppose to call her today!!” Sooyoung yelled in frustration and hit Taeyeon’s arm to release some anger.

 

“Yah! I’m innocent!!” Taeyeon yelled back in English as she rubbed her red arm. “I still don’t know understand you need our help.” Taeyeon continued. Sooyoung smacked her forehead upon hearing Taeyeon’s cluelessness.

 

“Let me guess…” Amber got up and did a little stretch before continuing. “…you don’t have her number and you need us to call Tiffany and Krystal to find out. Am I right?” Amber finished and yawned once again.

 

Sooyoung’s eyes gleamed at Amber’s statement and she nodded her head up and down vigoriously. “THANK YOU!! Finally, someone who understands my troubles. Unlike the short midget sitting next to me.” Sooyoung glared at Taeyeon who responded with her own death glare.

 

“Call me midget one more time and I will-” Taeyeon cracked her fingers and slid her thumb across her neck.  Sooyoung just chuckled at her threat.

 

“And do what…shortie?” Sooyoung provoked Taeyeon even more. Taeyeon began to take deep breaths to calm herself down. But Sooyoung just kept teasing.

 

“Hello? Can you not hear me shortie? Or do I need to get you a stool so you reach my level and hear me?” Taeyeon closed her eyes and continued to breath in and out. Obviously trying to control her anger. Sooyoung was having so much fun teasing her sister that she forgot about Jessica until-

 

“Soo, I don’t have Krystal’s phone number.” Sooyoung turned to look at Amber in shock. “Sorry.” Amber apologized and went back to lay down on her bed as if nothing happened.

 

“How can you not have Krystal’s number? Taeyeon, do you have Tiffany’s number?” Taeyeon finally opened her eyes but she ignored Sooyoung’s question.

 

“Do you?” Sooyoung asked back. She seriously needs Jessica’s phone number or else she will be in deep trouble. Taeyeon, however, just ignored her and went to join Amber on the bed.

 

“No. I don’t have Tiffany’s phone number.” Taeyeon grumbled. Sooyoung just looked at her two sisters in disbelief.

 

“Help me! How am I going to call Jessica?!!!” Sooyoung jumped on the bed and shook her sisters back and forth.

 

“Soo-Soo, stop it!” Taeyeon said as she tried to stop Sooyoung. Amber was just having the same problem.

 

“Stop!!” Amber screamed but Sooyoung didn’t stop. She continued to jump on the bed until-

 

*Bam!*

 

Sooyoung landed on the ground on her . She glowered at TaeBer. TaeBer had somehow managed to kick Sooyoung down from the bed.

 

“You just need to calm down Sooyoung.” Amber said. She was not longer tired and she was fully awake now.

 

“Why didn’t you ask her yesterday night?” Taeyeon finally managed to ask a logical question. Too logical that Sooyoung couldn’t answer.

 

“Um…um…” Sooyoung didn’t know how to answer. She put a finger under her chin and began thinking. Why didn’t I ask for Jessica’s cell number?

 

“Um? If that’s all that came out from your mouth when you were with Jessica, I know why you couldn’t get her number.” Amber reprimanded.

 

“Psh! And like you could do any better Amber? You couldn’t get Krystal’s phone number either.” Sooyoung challenged. Amber raised her eyes.

 

“Are you challenging me?” Amber now stood close to Sooyoung and looked at her intently. “Besides…I just forgot.” Amber whispered the last statement. Sooyoung scoffed at Amber’s reason.

 

“Forgot my ! You were scared of your “princess”.” Sooyoung smirked at her awesome comment.

 

Now Amber was pissed. “Says the woman who’s throwing a fit because she doesn’t have her precious ‘Sica’s’ number.” Amber countered with her own smirk. 

 

“STOP!!! Both of you just calm down!” Taeyeon tried to separate SooBer from eachother but it was useless.

 

“And you-” Amber now turned to look at Taeyeon. “-why didn’t you ask for Tiffany’s number so this whole ordeal could’ve been avoided.”

 

“Hey! Don’t put the blame on me. All of us are to blame.” Taeyeon hates the fact that she’s the oldest sometimes. She’s the one that has to stay remain calm, stable, reasonable and-

 

It all happened so fast. Sooyoung and Amber couldn’t hold their anger in anymore and were fighting each other, dragging Taeyeon in as well.

 

“Hey *dodges a book* let’s all * dodges a shoe* remain calm.” Taeyeon pleaded.

 

“This is none of your business shortie.” Amber shouted as she tried to punch Sooyoung.

 

“You want me to trample you midget?” Sooyoung threatened as she took a swing at Amber.

 

That’s it. Taeyeon is no longer being nice. Calling her shortie and midget was the wrong move. Suddenly, all three of them were engaged in a fight.

 

*ding dong*

 

Sooyoung, Taeyeon, and Amber all glanced at the door. None wanting to answer the door.  However, in a split second, all went back to fighting.

 

Meanwhile, outside of TaeSooBer’s apartment….

 

Donghae and JeTiKrys were all standing outside the apartment. They were all sure they heard some noises coming from withing and knew that someone was home. Heechul pressed the doorbell again for the third time but once again, it was unanswered.

 

“What the ?! I know they are in there. OPEN THE DOOR!!!” Donghae was now pounding on the door. Each pounding was reciprocated with even louder noises coming from within apartment.

 

“Donghae, are you sure that this is the right apartment from the other day?” Krystal inquired. Dongahe nodded his head.

 

“Yes. I’ve been here lots of time. I bet you guys anything they’re probably playing video games.” Donghae commented. At least, he secretly hoped they were.

 

“That would explain the noise.” Tiffany added with a small smile. “Perhaps we should come back another time?”

 

Jessica looked at Donghae and shook her head. “We are not going home. Sooyoung was suppose to call me and she didn’t so now I’m going to punish her!” Donghae looked at Jessica’s scary demeanor and knew better than to argue back. 

 

“Okay. Oh! How can I forget? I have an extra key.” Donghae let out a nervous laugh before unlocking the door. JeTiKrys gave him a nod.  Just when they were going to enter, his phone ring.

 

“Hmm…okay I’ll be there right now. Bye.” Donghae hung up the phone and looked at JeTiKrys.

 

“Sorry girls. There’s an emergency at the hospital. I’m going to leave now. Just go in. Don’t worry…they don’t bite.” Donghae winked at the girls and left. The girls just looked at eachother.

 

“You open it.” Krystal nudged Jessica.

 

“Why me?”

 

“Because you want to punish Sooyoung.” Tiffany teased and then mimicked a whipping sound.

 

“You’re a ert Tiff.” Krystal said with a giggle. Tiffany shrugged her shoulders.

 

“Aren’t we all?” Tiffany said dramatically with a sigh. Jessica just rolled her eyes.

 

“Anyways…you do the honors little sis.”

 

Krystal pointed to herself. “Me?? Wae?”

 

“Because you’re Amber’s princess.” Tiffany teased again. Krystal gave Tiffany a cold stare, causing Tiffany to stop talking right away. “Fine. Both of you are such wimps.” Just as Krystal was about to turn the knob, they heard some yells.  JeTiKrys held their breath and listened.

 

*Back to TaeSooBer*

 

“I HOPE JESSICA WHIPS YOU!!!” Amber shouted as she jumped over the couch to avoid Sooyoung’s long legs.

 

“SAYS THE LESTER!!!” Sooyoung yelled back.

 

“LESTER??? YOU CALLING ME A ERT AND MOLESTER?” Amber shouted back.

 

“YEAH I AM! SO WHAT?! YOU GOING TO TATTLE TO THAT SHORTIE OVER THERE?!”

 

“THAT’S IT SHIKSHIN!! I’M GOING TO KICK YOUR SO  HARD THAT YOU WON’T HAVE AN ANYMORE!!” Taeyeon then tried to hit Sooyoung, but Sooyoung avoided all the attacks. Sadly, the lamps and furniture weren’t so lucky.

 

“WHY DON’T YOU JUST ASK JESSICA OUT IF YOU LIKE HER SO MUCH!” Taeyeon yelled back as she successfully dodge Amber’s kick.

 

“WE’RE JUST FRIENDS! JUST LIKE AMBER AND KRYSTAL!”

 

“RIGHTTTT!!! TELL THAT TO THE WALL! AND DON’T DRAG KRYSTAL INTO THIS!” Amber interjected, causing Sooyoung to throw a wooden peg toward her. Luckily, Amber dodged or else it would’ve been bad.

 

“STAY OUT OF THIS LESTER!!”

 

“NO!!! MAKE ME!! AND WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT MIDGET??”

 

“NOTHING MUCH!!!”

 

Amber scoffed with a smirk. “I BET YOU DON’T SAY THAT TO TIFFANY!!”

 

Finally, all of them were at a stop point. All of their hair were still disheveled and they were still in their pajamas. None of them wanted to stop or surrender.

 

“DIE!!!” All three yelled simultaneously and launched toward eachother but were suddenly blocked by JeTiKrys.

 

TaeSooBer had to quickly stop their attacks or else they would have injured JeTiKrys. Sooyoung had to hold back her punch and in the process, had to grab Jessica’s waist and both fell on the carpet. Meanwhile, since Amber was sprinting, she had to hold onto Krystal and both spinned before landing on the floor also. Taeyeon had to do the same thing except Taeyeon had to catch Tiffany since she slipped on the rug as she tried to stop Taeyeon.

 

“What are you doing here Fany?” Tiffany just smiled nervously looking down at Taeyeon. She sensed the seriousness in Taeyeon’s voice.

 

“Hi Am.” Krystal sheepishly smiled as she looked at Amber, who only stared back intently.

 

“Giant! You.are.dead!” Jessica confessed once she regained her senses. Sooyoung just took a gulp.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

*Somewhere…*

 

“Did you find her?”

 

“Yes. I have. This is her current address. Ms. Jung is currently residing with her family.”

 

“Good job Mr. Naka. You can leave now.”

 

“Yes. Thank you Mr.Ok-”

 

“Just call me Taecyeon.”

 

Mr. Naka bowed and smiled. “Thank you Taecyeon. Have a good day.” Taecyeon bowed back. Once he was alone in his office, he took a picture from his drawer.

 

“I can’t wait to see you again Jessica. I miss you.”

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

*Back to TaeNy, SooSica, and Kryber*

 

“I guess you guys weren’t playing video games.” Krystal said as she looked at the mess in the living room. There were feathers, broken lamps, a broken table, and  a few other things that were destroyed.

 

“How did you guys get in?” Taeyeon asked as she picked up some a broken lamp and threw it in the trashbin.

 

“Donghae took us here and used the spare key.” Jessica explained coldly, not letting Sooyoung out of her sight. Sooyoung shivered knowing that Jessica was angry that she didn’t call.  So Sooyoung just avoided Jessica.

 

“Why did you guys come here?” Amber asked as she looked at Krystal. Krystal smiled and took a seat on the torn up couch.

 

“We were worried.”

 

“All of you?” Sooyoung asked as she looked at Jessica, who was now avoiding eye contact.

 

“Yes. All of us.” Tiffany answered with a smile and looked at Taeyeon. Taeyeon just stared back blankly.

 

“Oh..well, we’re okay.” Amber spoke shyly. She didn’t know what to say and sure enough, so did Sooyoung and Taeyeon.

 

Jessica raised her eyes in skepticism. “Oh really? It didn’t look like that earlier. What happened?” Jessica asked and she demanded an answer. Sooyoung knew she was the one who had to answer.

 

“Sister spat. Nothing too serious.” Sooyoung confessed with a shrug. “Happens all the time.”

 

“It must be serious, especially if we’re involved.” Krystal interjected. “We heard everything.”

 

“You-you did?” Taeyeon asked. “That’s quite embarrassing.”

 

“Why is it embarrassing Tae-tae?” Tiffany asked, quite amused by Taeyeon’s comment.

 

“Because we were talking about all three of you.” Amber quickly covered . She should’ve kept shut. Sooyoung and Taeyeon just stared at her in wide eyes.

“Tell the whole world Amber.” Sooyoung hissed while Taeyeon nudged Amber hard on the side stomach.

 

JeTiKrys found the whole ordeal quite amusing. The have never seen such people like TaeSooBer. They were indeed different and attractive in their own ways.

 

Jessica was the first to stand up. “Let’s go Giant.” Sooyoung stopped her bickering with her sisters and looked at Jessica.

 

“Go where?”

 

“We’re taking you guys out for lunch.” Krystal answered with a big smile and pulled Amber up as well.

 

“It’s okay. You guys don’t have to-” Taeyeon began but was cut off by Tiffany.

 

“But we want to. So all of you are coming.” Tiffany then hooked her arms with Taeyeon. Tiffany was super happy Taeyeon didn’t remove her arm.

 

“Fine. SooBer?” Taeyeon looked at her sisters to get their answers. SooBer just nodded their heads.

 

“Okay. But before we go, you guys might want to, you know.” Krystal said as she looked at TaeSooBer one by one. They were still in their pajamas and they were all messy.

 

“What Krys?” Amber asked, quite confused. It wasn’t until she followed Krystal’s gaze that she realized that she was still in her pajamas. Taeyeon and Sooyoung were curious as well and finally got the hint.

 

“OH MY GOD!!!” All three of them yelled simultaneously and covered themselves with their arms.

 

“You’re such a ! Stop looking at me Jessica!” Sooyoung yelled as she got a pillow to cover herself from Jessica. Sooyoung was wearing a white tank top with a red polka dot shorts. Apparently to Sooyoung, that was too overtly exposing. Jessica just rolled her eyes at Sooyoung’s dramatic antic.

 

“But she does look hot.” Jessica thought to herself.

 

“Oops sorry. Please excuse my nutcase of a sister for her lameness. Just give us 30 minutes. Make yourself at home.” Taeyeon removed herself from Tiffany and dragged her sisters to their rooms, much to Tiffany’s dismay.

 

After TaeSooBer left, JeTiKrys tried to help tidy up the place. As they cleaned, they couldn’t help but explore the little apartment.

 

“Aww. These are so cute.” Tiffany took some picture frames and showed it to Jessica and Krystal. One was a picture of Taeyeon and Amber trying to choke eachother and Sooyoung laughing in the background as she held on to a bowl of popcorn. Another was a picture with Taeyeon and Sooyoung posing with a sleeping Amber who had a drawn mustache. Another was with Sooyoung and Amber doing bunny ears behind Taeyeon’s head. And the last one…

 

“Who’s this man?” Jessica asked with a clear tone of anger and jealousy. The last picture was one with Sooyoung and Amber kissing a man on his cheeks and Taeyeon hugging him from behind. They were all smiling. Yes…even Taeyeon.

 

“Whoever he is, he sure made my Tae-tae happy.” Tiffany sternly stated, quite jealous herself.

 

“What the hell? Why is Am kissing that old man?” Krystal snarled and balled up her fists. All three were full of negative emotions, mostly jealousy.

 

“I don’t care. They can kiss who they want.”  Jessica bitterly stated and threw the picture onto the couch.

 

“Not on my watch. Tae-tae’s mine.”

 

“That old man is not going to get Amber.”

 

JeTiKrys were so occupied with that one particular picture that they didn’t even notice TaeSooBer coming out.

 

“I’m ready Sica!!!” Sooyoung sprinted toward Jessica with a smile but stopped when Jessica gave her a icy stare.

 

Amber got the same treatment from Krystal and got worried. “Krys? What’s wrong?” Krystal just ignored Amber and walked out from the apartment. “Hey! Wait for me!”

 

Taeyeon also felt Tiffany giving her an icy stare. “Wae? What’s wrong Fany-ah?”

 

“Nothing. Let’s go.” Tiffany and Jessica then left, leaving a dumbfounded Taeyeon, Sooyoung and Amber.

 

“What’s with them?” Amber asked. Still confused why she got the cold shoulders from Krystal. Sooyoung shrugged her shoulders.

 

“I think I know why.” SooBer turned to look at Taeyeon, who was holding onto the picture frame that Jessica threw onto the couch earlier.

 

“What? No way!” Sooyoung said in disbelief with a grin.

 

“Yes way!!” Amber yelled aloud and jumped up and down.

 

Taeyeon rolled her eyes before dragging her childish sisters out by their ears. However, even while being dragged out by Taeyeon, SooBer caught a glimpse of the smile that was plastered on Taeyeon’s face.

 

“Siwon let’s go grab lunch together yeah?” Siwon looked up from his pile of documents and faced a pleading Jonghyun.

 

“Finnneee. Where should we go?”

 

“What about Zane’s Grill?” a voice suddenly suggested.

 

“Heechul!!” Jonghyun ran over to Heechul and gave hit him on his arm. “I miss  you so much man!!” Jonghyun exclaimed.

 

Heechul giggled. “Sorry. Something came up. So what do you say? Let’s go have lunch together?” Siwon grinned and nodded his head.

 

“By the way…” Heechul said as he started the car. “…I invited Sooyoung and her sisters.”

 

“You what?!!!” Siwon’s loud scream was all that was heard before Heechul drove the car out of the parking lot.

 

Even when they arrived at Zane’s Grill, Siwon was still angry.

 

“Why the hell did you invite Taeyeon?”

 

“Because she’s my friend. Just like you so stop being an . I don’t want any more trouble.” Heechul warned.

 

Siwon stayed quiet after that warning. He didn’t want to make things worse. After settling down on a table, Jonghyun decided to speak.

 

“Sooooo..Heechul. Is Krystal dating anyone right now?” Heechul stopped drinking his water and turned to look at Jonghyun.

 

“Why don’t you ask her yourself? In fact, here’s your chance.” Heechul then pointed behind Jonghyun. Jonghyun turned around to see Krystal with Jessica and Tiffany.

 

“! Why didn’t you tell me she was coming?” Jonghyun quickly fixed his hair and clothes and stood up to greet the girls.

 

Heechul chuckled at Jonghyun’s actions while Siwon shook his head.

“You didn’t tell me you invited them as well.” Siwon said with a smile and stood up to greet Tiffany. He apparently forgot about his anger the moment he saw Tiffany. Heechul decided to stay at the table to reserve their spot.

 

Meanwhile…

 

“Krystal!” Krystal turned her head to the voice but was met with a hug.

 

“Oh. Hi Jonghyun oppa.” Krystal said with a smile.

 

“Good to you see you. All of you.” Jonghyun then looked at Jessica and Tiffany who waved back.

 

“What are you doing here Jonghyun?” Tiffany asked.

 

“I’m here with Heechul and-”

 

“Tiffany!!” Siwon gave Tiffany a quick hug. Tiffany was caught in surprise but she soon got over it.

 

“Hey oppa. You’re here on a lunch date with Jonghyun and Heechul huh?” Tiffany teased, causing Siwon to chuckle.

 

“Nope. I came here for you.” Jessica gagged at Siwon’s comment. When they all settled down on the table with Heechul, they heard a commotion.

 

“Yah! I’m not going in there!!!” A voice could be heard from the door as three people emerged.

 

“Tae! Please be a good girl. It won’t happen again. I promise!” Sooyoung tried to sooth a frantic and frustrated Taeyeon down.

 

“Just stay with us and you won’t get hurt.” Amber added.

 

“You shouldn’t be worried about me.” Taeyeon answered back with a hint of annoyance.

 

“Who said we were worried about you? We were referring to the people around here.” Sooyoung teased causing Taeyeon to glare at her. SooBer just broke out in a laughter at Taeyeon and continued pushing Taeyeon in.

 

However, all became quiet when they met Siwon and Jonghyun.

 

“Siwon.” Taeyeon said gravely.

 

“Taeyeon.” Siwon answered back in the same manner. Both were looking at eachother intently.

 

On the other hand, Amber and Jonghyun were getting a little tensed up themselves.

 

“Amber right? Should I address you as ‘miss’ or ‘mr.’? Jonghyun sneered at Amber. He wasted no time in stepping up his game and making sure Amber knew who she will be dealing with.

 

“Jonhyun!!” Heechul angrily yelled aloud and slammed the table.

 

“What’s wrong with you Jonghyun? Apologize.” Jonghyun ignored Siwon and just looked at Amber.

 

Krystal was clearly disappointed and upset at Jonghyun’s offensive and rude demeanor. Even Tiffany and Jessica were surprised at Jonghyun’s insult. Sooyoung was going to say something but got held back by Jessica while Taeyeon held Tiffany back.  Krystal stepped up to Jonghyun and was going to teach him a lesson but got blocked by Amber. Amber smiled at her, confusing her in the process. Amber then turned around to see Jonghyun, who smirked. He was quite proud of himself.

 

Amber bowed at Jonghyun before speaking. “Nice to meet you. I’m Amber Liu. And you can address me any way you want.”

 

Krystal on the other hand, wasn’t too nice. She pushed Amber away so she can say something.

 

“Jonghyun! I believe you owe Amber-”

 

“Excuse me!” Everyone on the table turned to look at Amber, who was calling for a waitress.

 

“May I help you?” the waitress politely asked.

 

“Do you allow pets in this place? Specifically…dogs?” Amber asked. The waitress shook her head.

 

“Sorry. No pets allowed.”

 

“Okay thank you.” Amber then bowed to the waitress and went back to sipping her water.

 

“What was that about?” Jessica asked. They were confused. How can Amber be asking about pets when Jonghyun just offended her?

 

“Jonghyun. Did you hear what the waitress said about no dogs?” Amber coolly asked and looked through the menu.

 

“What about it?” Jonghyun answered back. He was still smirking at his victory. Or so he thought.

 

“She said no dogs allowed so you should keep your mouth shut and be a good boy. I’m already violating their policy by letting you in.” Everyone, except for Taeyeon and Sooyoung, were stunned at Amber’s clever comeback. It shut Jonghyun real good. Jonghyun wanted to beat Amber there and then but got held back by Siwon.

 

“Don’t.” Siwon warned in a whisper. Jonghyun reluctantly complied.  Heechul was clapping his hands.

 

“Good job Amber. Thank you for teaching my ignorant friend a lesson. Now let’s eat.”

 

Lunch was going by slowly since no one spoke.

 

“Heechul. Did Donghae tell you where he went?” Taeyeon asked as she took another bite of her food.

 

“He had an emergency at the hospital.” Heechul answered.

 

“Hmm…”

 

“Sooyoung are you dating anyone?” Sooyoung choked on her food the moment she heard Jessica’s question. Amber patted her back to help her out.

 

“Jess!” Tiffany elbowed Jessica and let out a fake smile. “Excuse my cousin. She’s blonde as you can see.” Jessica glared at her.

 

“Are you or are you not?”Jessica had to get her question answered or else she won’t be able to focus.

 

“Do you like Sooyoung?” Taeyeon asked, not looking away from her food.

 

“Aren’t you being a little too straightforward Taeyeon-shi?” Jonghyun inquired.

 

“Why can’t she be? Jessica was too.” Amber defended. “So Jessica, why do you want to know?” Jessica just stayed quiet. She didn’t know too…or did she?

 

“Taeyeon has always been this way-y and conceited.” Siwon added with a smirk, much to the dismay of Heechul. Heechul knew that Siwon was just trying to start another fight.

 

“Looks can be deceiving Mr. Choi.” Sooyoung bitterly stated. “I don’t think you need to say that about my sister.” Although Sooyoung had a good relationship with Siwon, she hates judgmental people.

 

“Siwon! Apologize!” Everyone turned to look at Tiffany, who had stood up from her seat. She was not happy. Krystal pulled Tiffany to sit back on her seat but Tiffany refused.

 

“Tiffany. Stay out of this. I’m okay.” Taeyeon reassured Tiffany.

 

“No. It’s not okay Taeyeon.” Tiffany then turned to Siwon. “Taeyeon is not y or conceited. She’s a very sweet and caring person. Of course she may appear to be y, cold, heartless and selfish but looks can be deceiving. You of all people, should know this to be true.” Tiffany mumbled. Taeyeon stole a glance at Tiffany and realized that her eyes were watery. But she just pretended like she didn’t see anything. At this point, Siwon was speechless. Tiffany has never been like this to him.

 

“Tiffany, I’m sorry. I just-”

 

“Stop. Don’t say anything. I’m sorry if I ruined everyone’s lunch. I’ll excuse myself now.” Tiffany got up to leave but was held back by Taeyeon.

 

“I should leave. Please stay and talk things over with Siwon.” Taeyeon then gently pushed Tiffany back on to her seat and stood up instead.

 

“We’ll go with you Taeyeon.” Sooyoung and Amber then stood up and joined Taeyeon.

 

“We apologize if we have caused all of you trouble.” They all bowed and then left the restaurant.

 

“Sorry Heechul. I’m leaving too. I’ll call you.” Krystal then got up and left to look for Amber.

 

“Tiffany. I-”

 

“Save it!” Tiffany then grabbed her stuff and left too. “I’ll see you later Heechul.”

 

“! Heechul I have to go too. I really need my answer. Thanks to these two bozos here, I didn’t get my answer.” Jessica gave Jonghyun and Siwon a disgusted look and left.

 

“Okay. Let’s go.” Heechul then stood up and got out some money.

 

“But, we’re not done yet.” Jonghyun argued, still frustrated with Amber and Krystal.

 

“Too bad. I’m sure both of you are full after what you guys did. Now I’m leaving.”

 

Heechul then walked out, not caring whether or not Siwon or Jonghyun followed.

 

“I should’ve kept them on a leash.” Heechul thought to himself as he got in the car. But he smiled when he saw his JeTiKrys and TaeSooBer in the distance.
