“Oh my god!” Victoria exclaimed, dropping her bag and shutting the door behind her. Amber and Luna had jumped apart in an instant, but it was too late.

“Victoria, we just-”

“Are you two seriously…” she shook her head, her voice filling with annoyance rather than surprise, “Are you two really doing this?”

They were silent for a moment, her reaction catching them off guard.

“We were just..” Amber tried to reason.

“Dating? I mean really?” Victoria cut her off, exclaiming loudly, “Are you sure you're not just…”

“Just what?” Luna nearly squeaked.

She sighed, shaking her head tiredly. “I mean I know you guys became close and all but God, really? And I can't believe Krystal was right…”

“Unnie,” Luna stuttered quietly, her hands shaking as their leader look at her with disappointment, “Are you going to tell her about this?”

Victoria gave her an exasperated look she wished she hadn't received before responding, “Maybe it’d be better if I didn't say anything, but for God's sake you two, just try and be careful with this, alright? The last thing we need is something like this to come out.”

The two of them were in Amber’s parked car, neither of them saying a word. Amber had to all but drag Luna from the dressing room to take her home, and she was silent the whole ride there. When she had pulled up to Luna’s apartment building, she hadn't moved, just sitting where she was and staring at some unknown spot in the distance. Amber didn't know why, but her silence made her nervous.

“Sunyoung-ah,” she said, causing Luna to turn and face her.

“Mhmm?”

“Are you..okay?”

“What? Yeah, I'm just..thinking.”

Amber's mind couldn't help but race. Was she thinking about what Victoria said? What she rethinking their relationship? She eventually mustered up the courage to ask, “Thinking about…?”

“Just...things,” Luna sighed, reaching down to grab her bag, “I better get going.”

Worriedly, Amber was about to protest until she felt Luna place her hand on her cheek, bringing their faces close together, “I love you, Am.”

And then she closed her eyes, placing a soft kiss on Amber's lips, unknowingly calming her jittery nerves.

Later that night, as she laid in bed, she couldn't help but revisit those fears she had earlier, and eventually ended up giving Luna's number a ring. She answered within an instant and Amber breathed a sigh of relief when she heard her soothing voice on the other end of the call.

“Amby?” Luna questioned in a sleepy tone, an image of her laying in bed soon filling Amber's mind, “Why’d you call?”

“I just wanted to hear your voice.”

“Oh.” She could just hear her smile. “Well, here it is.”

Amber chuckled and turned so that she was laying on her side.

“You're so adorable, Sunyoung-ah.”

“But you can't see me.”

“But I just know you are.”

Luna exhaled on the other line and Amber remembered why she'd called.

“Luna, we're okay, right?”

“What?” Luna asked, “Of course.”

“Just wanted to make sure.”

“Am,” Luna muttered scoldingly, “Just forget about what Victoria said earlier, alright? I'm not with you by mistake or anything. I love you.”

“Okay…”

“I mean it!”

“Okay! I'm being crazy, I know,” she relented, rubbing her eyes with one hand, “I love you, too.”

“Well now that that's settled, you should get some sleep.”

“So should you.”

“I was about to, but then you called.”

“Well then I’m sorry. I guess I’ll just let you get back to it,” Amber smiled into her phone.

“Goodnight, baby.”

“Goodnight, puppy. Sleep tight.”

Sorry for short update. It felt longer in my head. I'll try and be back with more soon.
