-17- Your Smile

Starlight Moonlight : The Prequel & Sequel

 

All 8 of them was just went back from spying on Jongna who's currently spending their night together inside a hut not far from

them. They were sat comfortably surrounding the campfire,

 

“ What do you think they will do right now ? “

Victoria smiling at her friends who's non-stop chuckling at her words, and Amber who's playful as ever made the rest to

laughed even more when she utter, “ Oppa, I'm so cold. “.

 

Her imitation really made the gang to burst out laughing after a few moment of stunned looking at her with the way she's acts

cutely just how Luna would be.

 

“ Really? This will warm you up Luna. “

Surprisingly, Taemin joined her while giving her a big hug which she responded well.

While giggling cutely at Taemin, “ Omo .. Oppa, you're so thoughtful. Saranghae Dino oppa. “

“ Me too, Saranghae, Ponyo ! “

The rest of them can't even stop laughing at how dork the two are right now.

Amber were tossing her body from side to side since the moment she laid her body onto her sleeping bag.

 

“ I can't sleep. “

 

She turned to looked at her friends who sleep soundly at both of her side. She then noticed a movement from Sulli.

 

“ Sulli, are you awake ? “

“ Dae, Umma. I want more chocolates.“

 

By that time she know that Sulli was peacefully entertained herself in her dreamland. She nudge the girl beside her which she

only received a loud snores from her.

 

“ I wonder how will Minho oppa reacts if he know she's snores like this. “

She let out a tiny giggles before her mind went back to her sudden insomnia.

“ Now what should I do ? “

She think and think and think until she reached to a decision.

“ Hot chocolate. “

 

Slowly she's getting up from the place, not wanting to let the rest awake by her movements and headed herself outside the tent.

Her eyes widened once she stepped out the tent.

 

“ Key ? “

He was startled by her calling.

“ Amber ? “

 

 

 

Aaah .. It felt so nice. A hot chocolates at the cold night. “

She took a sniffed at her drink before took a sipped of it.

“ Ouch ! Hot ! Hot ! Hot Chocolates. It's really hot. “

She's fanning her tongue that were slightly burned because of the hot drink.

“ Duhh ! That's why they named it ' HOT CHOCOLATES ' ! “

Key just chuckled while looking at Amber.

“ So, you can't sleep I guess ? “

She just nodded to him.

“ What about you ? “

Her eyes captured the phone that he held since the beginning.

“ Same with me. “

“ Why ? Because you didn't hear your girlfriend's voice before you sleep ? “

Amber's eyes widened when she realized what just she says.

 

* Darn ! I slipped. *

 

Key looked at her in stunned but Amber just make her poker face so that she won't get caught up.

“ What did you said just now ? Girlfriend ? “

“ Why do you looks so shocked ? Do you really have one ? “

She able to cover herself up which then made Key to startled.

“ N-No ! “

But then it made Key to think about it again.

 

* What's the point of me keeping this ? We're official, so there's nothing to be afraid of. Soon or later they will find out. *

 

“ Actually, the answer for your question supposed to be a Yes. “

Amber spitted some of her drink when suddenly she heard Key's confession.

“ What's with your reaction ? Is it really weird if I had one ? “

“ It's not that. “

 

 

Amber just remained silent after that, not even looking at Key. She felt slightly hurt with the fact that Key revealed about his

relationship to her himself.

 

“ Aren't you going to ask who is that girl ? “

“ Owh .. so who is that lucky girl ? “

Her words made Key to felt weird because he didn't expect Amber would consider the girl to be lucky to have him.

 

* Aren't she's always had something to make me annoy ? *

 

“ I'm not going to tell you yet. “

“ See, that's why I didn't bother to ask the question at the first place. “

 

Both of them just chuckled at each other, but what Key doesn't know is the girl next to him right now were suffering inside

trying to held whatsoever emotion that she had.

 

“ You doesn't seems shocked with this. “

“ I'm not really care about it anyway. “

Only God know how hard she is trying to let that words to come out from .

“ Jeez, then there's no point of me telling you this. I can't even talk about her with you since you're not interested. “

Even without looking at him, she knows that he was pouting at the moment.

“ You can .. talk about her if you want. “

 

She was hesitantly uttered those because she know that she will only end up getting hurt by it but part of her still want to hear

for his point of view of his own girl.

 

“ Hmm .. where should I start ? She looks pretty the most without make up, yup .. I can spend my whole day looking at her like

that, with that oh so pretty brown gleaming eyes but what made me attracted to her the most is the way she appears herself in

front of people around her. She's always being the caring, sweet, lovely and the most important is she is the one and only that

can stand with my attitude. She accepts me for who I am, you know of how I loves to nag around right ? She told me that was

my charms.. haha “

 

 

Key was happy, really happy and his happiness were shown on his face which didn't fail to made Amber to smiled along

whenever she happen to caught a glimpse of his smiling face. That smile which she thought would never be her' even at the first

place because she knows there's only one person who can make him to feel the happiness, which is Yoona. Part of herself were

glad with it but part of it also felt hurt because of it.

 

* You don't know how I wish to be the reason for your smiles, Key. *

 

“ And you're right. I cannot sleep because of her. “

“ Huh ? “

Her dazed were broken by him.

“ The coverage in here are so .. see .. one bar. I can't even reach her with one bar. “

Amber just faked a smile before shifting her gaze at the campfire in front of her with a lot of thoughts in her minds.

 

* There's no way I'm gonna win over Yoona unnie. *

 

Her eyes then slowly run along her body,

 

* Baggy clothes .. Short hair .. masculine features .. *

 

She let out a small chuckle which gladly Key didn't hear it since he was so into his own mind.

 

* I'm sure no guy will like me. They took me as one of them. *

 

 

 

Amber don't know for how long already she had stop talking to Key because she was still busy with her own thoughts. It's weird

when she forget that she had Key for company on that night. She only realized it when suddenly she felt a sudden weight on her

shoulder. She turned her gaze and was surprised when she noticed Key's head was landed on her shoulder. She poked his body

for a few times but seems like he won't gonna move even for an inch.

 

 

“ Key .. “

“ Wake up .. and sleep inside. “

Still no responds from him.

“ Wake up .. Yoona unnie is here. “

She noticed he's smiling because of that but that doesn't make him awake.

 

 

Amber heaved a big sighed and just let him. She took her last sip of her hot chocolates which now supposed to be call as cold

chocolates before shifted her eyes back to Key. She took this opportunity to take a closer look on him. Gently she let her finger

his hair, try not to make him awake because of that.

 

 

“ You're happy right ? Just smile like this always. It made me feels better inside. “

 

Quickly she wipe the tears that pooling in her eyes, too afraid to let it falls. Just when she's about to wake him up once again,

 

“ Amber ? “

Amber was surprised to see Onew popped out from the tent.

“ Oppa. “

“ What are you doing here .. with him ? “

He pointed at Key who sleeping soundly on her shoulder.

“ We cannot sleep at first and the last thing I know is this Diva already dozing off on my shoulder. “

“ Why don't you wake him up ? “

“ Believe me, I tried. “

She said chuckling while looking at Onew.

“ Hey ! Key ! Wake up ! “

Seems like Key was so cozy sleeping on Amber's shoulder.

“ See .. I told you. “

“ This can't do. Both of you need to go inside now. It's really cold outside here. “

Onew took the drinking bottle nearby and sprinkle some of the water to Key's face which easily woke him up due to the

sudden coldness.

“ Aish ! Hyung ! “

He glared at Onew with his lazy eyes and about to sleep again.

“ Yah ! My shoulder hurts because of you. So get up and go sleep somewhere else. “

 

He was startled by Amber's voice so quickly he tilted his head and was surprised to see her face were only few centimeters away

from him.

 

“ WOAH !! “

Both of them jerked backwards which made the leader to giggles looking at how awkward they are right now.

“ Come Key, let's sleep inside. You too Amber, go to your tent now. “

Onew dragged Key with him but not until he make sure that Amber really went into her tent.

“ I thought both of you didn't get along. “

He asked the half asleep Key.

“ And you're right about that. “

“ But what I saw just now didn't seems like it. “

“ I'm sure I was so sleepy. I really didn't realized what just I did. “

“ Surprisingly, she just let you be. “

“ Yeah, creepy. “

“ That's because she's a kind girl. “

“ Whatever ! “

2 weeks After,

Little White Cafe, Seoul

 

 

Amber decided to bring the gang to hang out at the Little White Cafe that happen to be her favorite place right now.

 

“ Seriously, the coffee are so tasty. “

“ I told ya. “

“ Not to mention the chicken pie too. “

As usual chicken will be Onew's favorite dish.

“ Where is Key ? He's taking so much time don't you think ? “

Minho said while wandering to find any glimpse of Key somewhere at the outside.

“ Forget about him, try this pie. It's so yummy. “

Onew just too happy with his chicken pie and shoved it into Minho's mouth which made him to stunned.

“ Aish ! This chicken maniac ! “

He managed to said it to the leader with a glare while the rest just chuckled looking at him.

“ Sorry for keeping you guys waiting. I tag someone with me today. “

Key suddenly popped out from nowhere smiling at the gang.

They just blankly looking at Key and Yoona at his side.

“ Meet my girlfriend, Im Yoona. “

Key said proudly while wrapping his hand around Yoona's shoulder.

 

All of them were jaw dropped with Key's statements, but one of them were not. Taemin and Jonghyun already spitted their

drinks, Onew totally forget about his chicken pie, Krystal was chocking and Minho was busy calming her down while Sulli,

Luna and Victoria just stunned looking at Key and Yoona.

 

 

 

Stop looking at us like that. You're scarring my pretty doll. “

Key shot each of them a glare.

“ I still can't believe this. Yoona, why Key ? “

Jonghyun asked slightly disappointed with her decision to be Key's girl.

“ Yah ! What was that supposed to mean ? “

Key gave a smacked on Jonghyun's back for that.

“ How long have you been dating exactly ? “

“ Well, almost 2 months. “

“ For real ? 2 months ? “

Krystal asked slightly shocked with it.

“ No wonder he seems so close with Yoona lately. “

Minho blurted out which made the gang to nodded at him.

“ So, you guys had been secretly dating all this time ? “

Yoona just nodded shyly at Onew.

“ Seriously, I never thought both of you will be together. I thought Key will end up with .. “

Victoria took a glance at Amber who doesn't seems to have any interest in their conversation.

“ Who ? “

She was startled with Key's voice.

“ Huh ? Nothing. Just someone.. hehe “

 

Luna who's always secretly ships for Keyber turned to looked at Amber who didn't even say a word since the beginning.

 

“ Unnie .. “

She nudged her and just received a light smile from Amber.

“ Gwaenchana ? “ She asked hesitantly.

“ Yeah .. just tired a bit. “

 

* Tired ? Amber unnie .. for how long will you keep this by your own ? *

 

 

 

[ Flashback ]

 

 

Unnie, where are you going ? “

Luna asked when she saw Amber were getting ready in her room.

“ I'm going to the orphanage for awhile, they kinda need my help. “

“ Owh .. can I tag along with you ? I can give some help. “

“ Erm .. maybe next time ok ? Why don't you stay at home with Sulli since Krystal and Vic unnie are not around. “

Luna just nodded pouted at her.

“ Aigoo, I promise I'll bring all of you next time. “

“ Alright. “

“ Anyway, can you help me with the laptop ? I'm kinda in a hurry. “

She nodded once again while her eyes keep the gaze on Amber until she walked out of her room.

 

 

Luna then went towards the bed where Amber's laptop was placed. She was about to shut it down when her eyes captured one

folder entitled ' Precious Diva '.

 

“ Diva ? Hehe .. the only Diva that I know is Key oppa. “

At first she just shrugged it off from her mind but little by little her curiosity were controlling her mind.

“ I can't just look at it right ? “

 

She felt so restless at a moment while her curiosity still battling in her minds. At the end she reached to a decision, she adjusts

the cursor to be at the exact on top of the folder.

 

* I'm sorry unnie .. *

 

With that she proceeded by clicking on the folder.

 

 

Her eyes were widened and she was jaw dropped the whole time, stunned browsing at the contains. She was absolutely right

about the Diva part because all that she can see are only Key's pictures were filled in the folder. By just looking at it she knew

that those pictures were taken surreptitiously by none other else than Amber herself.

 

 

“ What's the meaning of these ? Did Amber unnie likes Key oppa ? “

She cupped in disbelieved.

“ It can't be right ? Both of them were like cats and dogs whenever they're together. “

 

She just shook her head in hoping it will made the weird thoughts in her minds vanish. All of a sudden she stumbled while

heading her way towards Amber's desk to put the laptop on top of it and ended up fell flat on the floor.

 

“ Ouch !! “ She yelped in pain.

“ Fuhh ! Thank God nothing happen to unnie's laptop. “

She grinned happily and slowly made herself sat on the floor while massaging her sore foot.

“ Huh ? What is that ? “

She happen to saw a thick medium book under Amber's desk and approaching towards it.

“ Owh .. looks like a photobook .. hehe. “

But her eyes widened when she turned the book,

 

“ Yiyun's Love Journey ?! “

 

 

________

 

 

 

Luna was watching the TV with Sulli dozing off on her lap,

“ Eh ? I thought everybody's asleep already. “

“ I'm still not sleepy. “

She kept her eyes fixated on Amber who headed towards the kitchen to drink some water.

“ Unnie, how's the kids ? “

“ Fine as usual. “

Amber headed herself towards the living room and sat herself next to Luna.

“ What drama is this ? “

She asked while sipping to her drink.

“ Heartstrings .. “

She simply answered her but her eyes still on Amber.

“ Unnie, by any chance, do you have someone in your eyes ? “

Amber coughed badly because of that.

“ Unnie, are you alright ?

Luna handed her a tissue while tapping her back gently.

“ What's with your sudden curiosity ? “ Amber asked in chuckle.

“ Nothing. I just want to know. So ? “

Amber just smiled at her, “ I'll let you know when it's the time ok ? “

With that she ruffled Luna's hair before lead her way to her room.

Luna heaved a big sighed when Amber is already out of her sight, “ Why did she still want to suffer all by herself ? “

She spoke slow enough just for herself.

 

* I still can't believe that she's been loving him all these years. *
