Day 38

Krystal's room

8:50 AM

AMBER’S POV

“Uggghhh…..” Krystal stirred in her sleep beside me, her face showing a frown. I was sitting on the bed browsing in my laptop about the articles written about me and her that Vic suggests that I read when she made that sound. It only means one thing… she’s having an attack.

“Krys…” I placed the laptop down on the chair beside the bed and raised her up in my lap. She buried her face on my chest while she clenches her fist on my shirt, controlling the pain she is having.

This is the first attack she had since Florence. Running my hand on the back of her head, I gave it a gentle massage trying to sooth her. “Calm breaths baby… you can do it…”

She started to sob in my chest while clenching hard on my shirt. All I can do is her back and her head to calm her down, I reach for a Tylenol at our night table and a bottle of water for her to drink. “Krys… drink this… raise your head..” she followed what I said and raised her head to face me, her eyes tightly shut to control the pain. I brought the med in and followed it with the bottle of water so she can swallow it. She almost finish the contents of the bottle because of thirst then snuggled on my chest again like a poor puppy she is, clinging her arms on my neck.

Thank Heavens the attack is not that painful… I think. What happened in Florence is something I don’t want to have a repeat. Seeing her lying on the ground curved like a ball that day is scary, it scared me to death worrying if how she rolled down the bed. If she hit her head on the floor or her back or whatever. Luckily she didn’t, and I checked her whole body that morning looking for bruises but she doesn’t have.

I tapped her thighs to fix her position on my lap and let her straddle me. “Wrap your legs around my waist baby, lock it..” she did and snuggled her head on my neck. I took the medium size Stitch stuffed toy she took from my apartment and placed my hands under her for support, and stood up from our bed carrying her like a little kid. Thank God I work my arms and legs in the gym or else I won’t be able to carry her like this!

My Father in-law was already sitting on the breakfast table reading a newspaper when he saw us descending the stairs with his daughter on my hold. “Oh! What happened?” Mom came out from the kitchen carrying a pot of I think breakfast soup putting it down on the table.

“She has a mild attack…” I answered them with a small smile and made my way to the couch and settled my still holding her. “Krys… still hurts?”

She answered me with a slight nod from my chest still snuggling there. “I got Stitch here…” I scooted it in between our bodies for her to hold and she took it, finally burying her face on the stuffed monster. It was one of my many collections there in my apartment, she squealed when she saw how many Stitch plushies I have stored in a cabinet that came from my fans. From the smallest to the biggest, I have it all. She wanted the life size one but its too big and bulky to bring so I told her just the slightly large one and we can come back for it after her surgery, thank Heavens she obliged and seems utterly happy with the one she’s holding right now. I found out she’s also a er for this bluish monster because she also have some plushies and action figures of it.

Yesterday, we became busy opening the boxes we sent home from London and Barcelona, our Harry Potter merchandise and the stuffs we bought at Barça. Her Dad was shaking his head when he saw all the Harry Potter stuffs saying she better make our future kids know who Harry Potter is because if not, all of those stuffs will be meaningless. Krystal just laughed about it with cheeks red as an apple with the mention of kids by her Dad. Ahhh… the asking-for-Grandkids-phase has now begun hahaha!!!

Her friends Luna and Byul came by around late lunch carrying a box of cake and pastries for her. The 3 of them were squealing and jumping around like crazy ahjummas when she welcomed them at the garden. She introduced me to them finally and we had a little chat about the trip and the crazy ordeal they went through when the paparazzis are chasing after them. They said Vic took care of them until it all settled down, the press giving up in trailing them.

They said the two of them will be in the hospital on the day of the surgery and will be waiting for her to come out of the surgery room. The friendship the three of them have is really admirable because its really deep and strong like real sisters. Luna is really bubbly and loud but really nice, JJ seems to love her because my dog kept circling on her feet. She also has a lot of dogs she said so maybe JJ picked up the scent Byul said, it earned her a slap on her wrist hehehe… Byul has this cool, chill, boyish vibe on her and she also likes music. She said she’s a fan of mine that I should sign all her CDs and merchandise next time, she was suppose to bring all of it but Luna scolded her. We went out for a meal in a Steakhouse that Byul chose with Luna paying because she lost a bet with the two.

Krys has been eating everything these past few days, although only healthy ones - vegetables, fruits, fish and a little bit of sweets like what Doc Yoona instructed because after midnight before her surgery she can only take liquids no solids.

Today is her schedule to check-in at the hospital like what Doc Yoona instructed to have her ready. We will be going there maybe by 3:00 PM together with Sooyeon and Yuri to keep us company. Her cousin said they will have to prepare her for the D-day so they will be doing some tests on her like bloodworks, MRI, etc. No problem at all with the Witch because she said she’s used to it now ever since she became sick. I just have to be beside her when they stick a needle in her veins she said and everything will be fine.

She was okay last night, fooling around with the dogs and helping Mom make dinner. She helped me pick some photos that the production staff needed that will be included in the episodes of the show, even had a chat with Vic over FaceTime about the offer by the Executive Producers of the show to give her a talent fee. She was laughing about it because she said her airtime is accidental and most of the time she’s the one who holds the camera. I secretly asked Vic to handle everything about the negotiations regarding Krystal, she said she has been getting a lot of calls and offers for my wife even interviews. But she knows this is not the right time for it because of the surgery so she told all of them to come back after 6 months or so.

We posted a short video last night that Dad took, we played Four hands again in the living room Grand Piano they have. It was fun sharing music with her, lucky to get a girl who can play a piano and at the same time sing and play other instruments. Even if with other things we are different, in music we are one.

Her Mom approached us and placed a mug of coffee, milk and honey in a small cup on the small table in front of us. She patted Krystal’s head affectionately with a worried look “Honey, are you okay now?”

She slowly lifted her head from the soft plushie her eyes still closed, I burst out laughing seeing her face. She looks like a character from the horror movie with hair all over her face and all I can see is her right eye when she opened it.

“Hey… no laughing…~”

“You look scary... witch.”

“Mommmmmmm!~”

“I won’t intervene… you are married now Soojung..” Mom said holding her hands up in the air controlling her laugh. She went back to the dining area and sat beside Dad to start eating.

“Uggh. My own Mother won’t side with me now.” I smiled brushing away the hair on her face, finally seeing it. “Check on your Dad maybe he still has your side. But you really look scary just moments ago you know, like Sadako... hair draping on your face.” I said before planting a quick kiss on her lips. hehehe…

“Daddddddd!!!

“Soojung... you really look scary. Still have a headache honey? I think its okay now considering how loud you whine right there… why don’t you and Amber join us for breakfast. We will be going to the hospital later remember…” Dad said still busy reading his newspaper. I grinned at Krystal claiming victory that earned a bite on my ears.

“Hey… you okay now? You feel dizzy or anything?”

“The med is slowly kicking in so it's not that painful anymore… but Earthling my left eye is blurry again…” she closed it in a few seconds then opened it again “Blurry.”

“How about your right eye? Blurry too?” I asked while caressing her nape. She shook her head slowly like a kid and pouted at me. She fixed her hair in a ponytail and I handed her the rubber band I have in my wrist for her to tie it. She unmounted from me and sat on the couch blinking her eyes trying to get used to the blurriness it has. I wish the surgery corrects it… having a blurry eyesight like that is hard especially for her.

Finally getting her strength back, she made my honey milk coffee while i took a quick trip to our room getting her specs before we joined her parents at the dining table to have a hearty breakfast. We were already finishing and having a chat with Mom about my plan to renovate the house I am eyeing when Dad’s phone vibrated on the table. He raised it to see who is calling and frown “Yoona is calling me…”

“Answer it maybe she has something to ask you…” Mom said while putting diced Mangoes in Soojung’s bowl of salad. Dad answered it while me and my wife had a battle of forks in her bowl because I am trying to get Mangoes from it.

“Yeoboseyo… oh, Yoona… yes they are here.. ah, they left their phones inside their room probably. Soojung had an attack this morning and Amber carried her out of the room.. Amber? Yes she’s here wait…” Dad handed me the phone with Doc Yoona waiting on the other line. Krystal and I shared a look wondering why.

“Hello---”

“AMBER!! HAVE YOU SEEN THE NEWS?! THAT IS RIDICULOUS! HOW DARE THEY POST THAT PHOTOS OF MINE ON THE INTERNET CLAIMING ITS MY COUSIN!?” Huh? What does it mean?

“Doc… I don’t understand.. what photos?”

“THE PHOTOS! OH SHUCKS… THE TWO OF YOU HAVEN’T SEEN IT MY BAD. A gossip article was posted this early morning with a photo of me and Changwook together in a restaurant last night! The article said its Soojung with a guy and the article is calling her a cheater!!! I’m on my way right now there wait for me!--” the line suddenly was cut off leaving me in deep annoyance. Not for Doc Yoona but for the gossip again… that’s it! I’m not holding back!

I gave the phone back to Dad and said thanks. … innocent people are being dragged now…

“Earthling, what happened?” she asked me while eating. She reached for my nape caressing it “What happened?”

I sighed and closed my eyes for a moment then opened it again while staring back at her
