Amber stands on the door for a minute, a wave of paranoia setting over her. She’s got this feeling of, like, when you can’t remember something, but just know it’s important, and since you already forgot what it is you just say, ‘Screw it. I’ll just get by without whatever it is’. That’s exactly what happened. She set the uneasiness aside and pushed open the door.

When she opened it, it was like the first day she joined the Alphas all over again. Only this time, the girls were less charming than she remembers. Victoria is hysterical. Taeyeon is riding, piggyback, on Sulli, screaming about hygiene and STDs. Suzy is holding a pink hair dryer in her hands like it was a gun. Hyuna is throwing nachos to a moving pile of clothes on the floor. And almost every Alpha is standing on the couch carefully, like the floor is made of lava. There she sees what the ruckus was all about, putting a smile on her face.

“I see you guys already met Dog.” I leaned on one knee near Dog, petting him.

“Girls.” Teayeon corrected. “And who is Dog?” She asked, still not getting down from Sulli’s back. The girls stand still and looks confuse about… all this.

“This is Dog.” I beamed to Taeyeon. “Dog, meet the fabulous Alphas. Girls, meet Dog, my pet.” I carried Dog to my arms and extended one of her legs. “Hello, Alpha sisters.” I said, managing the best pig voice I can.

“You named your pig, Dog? Who does that?” Suzy asked, getting down from the sofa, but still holding on to the hair dryer in her hand. I wonder what she’ll do with that!

“You see that? That’s plain racist. When celebrities get a chess champion chimpanzee, a three eyed iguana, or even a six pack hottie with severe drug problems as pet, people don’t give a .”

“Amber. Just get that thing out of the house.” Victoria pointed to Dog with a long pink broomstick in her hand. Weird. I have never seen that broom anywhere before.

“But we have a deal.” I revealed a folded paper from my back jeans pocket and recited to them. “I, drunken Victoria Song, together with the Alpha Kappa Zeta members, promise to let Dog stay in the sorority house for as long as it he wants. Signed, Victoria Song.”

“P.S. We shall also start serving meat during mealtimes. And. No. Dog shall not be cooked if run out of stock.”

“Are those puke stains?” Krystal pointed out from my back then continued walking to the girls. So far, she is the only one calm about all this.

“Yes. But let me tell you, they will not void this contract. I already consulted from a very reliable source.” I flaunt the paper in the air.

“Is this reliable source Google?” Seohyun asked, mockingly, adjusting her reading glasses. 

“Maybe.” This girl. How does she know everything?

But just like everytime I do something a little bit too far for them, but is perfectly normal for me, they gave up. That is what exactly what they did in this pig-tuation. See what I did there? Pig + situation = Pigtuation. Well, never mind.

*********************************

One week. That’s how much time has passed. I never left Krystal’s side ever since I ran on her and Jessica in that night at the party. I’ve been ditching Sulli and Suzy for a week now and if they could disown me, I bet they would’ve already done it. I’m speaking merely for Sulli, though. And it is all because of my new hobby, stalking guarding Krystal. I know it sounds weird to say that Krystal Jung needs some guarding, but that was all I am doing ever since. The thought of Krystal getting picked on by her sister or by anybody else is… unbearable. I even stayed up all night to read the whole book of ‘Stalking for Dummies’ and watched a bunch of youtube videos on how to uncreepily stalk a person.

And today is just like any of those days that Amber Lui stalks Krystal Jung. She is carefully following Krystal, stopping corner by corner to take cover. She even brought Dog as a lookout.

“Will you quit following me?” Amber was startled when Krystal spoke. There’s no way she could’ve known that Amber is following her since her whole body is pressed up against the wall, a block away from Krystal. So, she stayed quiet.

Krystal grunted and turned her eyes to where Amber was hiding. Amber immediately sunk and became one with the wall just in time. She held Dog's leash and to guide it to the side of the wall. Though that did not help in any way, considering Krystal is walking furiously towards her. She yanked Amber out of the corner and confronted her.

“Oh. Hi. Krystal.” Amber waved her hand, despite being grabbed by the collar. “I almost didn’t notice you with that… constipated look.” She
