The idols arrived at the airport for their flight to Singapore. It was way too early for Amber to be up but she needed to. It was part of her job to be early today, so there she was absent-mindedly walking behind her members wearing her shades, hoddie and a cap, her typical everyday clothes, and carrying one backpack for this morning’s flight.

She was yawning when she saw Super Junior walking pass f(x). She rubbed her sleepy eyes to have a better look of a certain man wearing a light colored shirt. She immediately turned her head down and looked at what she was wearing at that time and mentally cursed and yet, why was she smiling then?

Henry didn’t even have the time to fix his newly cut hair that morning since he was the last one in their dorm to actually wake up half an hour before the van arrived in front of their dorm. Zhou Mi even pushed him to the ground just for him to move from his bed. So he just wore a shirt and his black coat that he wore on his birthday since it was the only one coat he actually have in his cabinet. At least, he was wearing something neat that morning.

The idols were waiting at a lounge that the airport staff let them stay at until the departure time of their flight. He sat in one of the sofas, bowed down his head and closed his weary eyes. He felt someone sat beside him, and rested its head upon his shoulder. He then instinctively rested his head upon that other person’s head for he knew who that person was.

Amber’s hand patted Henry’s hair and she actually complemented his new hairstyle. “I like your hairstyle today. It’s still messy like always but I like it that’s how sleepy I am right now. I am saying random things.”

“Excuses, excuses, Amber, I know you like me.” He groggily bragged. Eyes still closed.

She lifted her head from his shoulder and looked at him. At that Henry pouted cutely at her. “I said I like your hairstyle. It looks….” She searched for the perfect words to describe it. “Like a fluffy cloud” She then ruffled his hair.

“What?” He yawned and stretched his arms. She continued ruffling his hair.  “Amber, stop it.” He told her.

“Fine” She raised her hands, and picked up her bag.

“Amber” He called. And Amber never stopped walking away. “Amber.” He called again and still no response from her.

“Josephine” He spoke louder than he should be. And the other idols looked at them and some of them even laughed.

Amber walked towards Henry, and pointed at him. “Call me Josephine in public again, and I make sure when you go on that stage tomorrow. That hair of yours will be gone. So go ahead, call me Josephine. I dare you.”

Someone was definitely grumpy that morning.

Henry walked around the airport holding a milk tea and saw Amber reading a book, while she listened to music, sitting on one of the mental benches.

He showed the milk tea he was holding at Amber. “What do you want me to do with that?” Amber asked, eyes never lifted from the book she was reading, even flipped the page.

“I bought it for you.” Henry sat beside her, his head turned to face her.

“Why?” She asked, seemed to be uninterested.

“Because I know, when you’re grumpy, milk tea will cheer you up instantly.” Henry replied, still holding it for her. “So I bought you one.”

“Where did you buy it? Cafes around the airport don’t sell milk tea.”

“I sneaked out and ran two blocks from here to buy that for you.”

“Oh I see.” Amber grabbed it from Henry and took a sip of milk tea, while she flipped a page again.

Henry smiled at her for he knew she was in a good mood again.

“Thank goodness I won’t lose all my hair anytime soon.” He whispered under his breath. And Amber heard it and tried not to laugh as she casually drank her milk tea. But she couldn’t stop herself from smiling so she hid her face using the book she was reading.

“What are you reading then?” Henry looked at the cover of the book.

“I don’t know actually. Min gave it to as a birthday gift this year.” Amber lifted the cover of the book in order for him to see it clearly.

“Why is it all covered up? Do you even know the title or the author?” Henry asked grabbing the book from her grasp, as she continued to drink her milk tea.

“That’s the surprise. She actually covered the book with black colored paper as you can see and even taped the pages with the title and such, and encouraged me to read this book. This is I think the first book of the series. The other books are at home.”

“Did you already know what the book is about? When I saw you here, you’re already flipping through pages.”

“I am actually deciding that time, whether or not to rip the cover. But it will spoil the surprise, right? You know I love surprises.” Amber reasoned. “And I am not in freaking mood that time.”

“Sorry for calling you Josephine in public and for everyone to hear me, calling you Josephine out loud.” He apologized.

“I was also thinking about something else.” She murmured.

“Were you saying something?” Henry asked.

“Nothing” She answered closing the book.

“Let’s open a random page and read from there, for us to know what this book is all about? Just for fun” Henry suggested, already holding the book.

“Sure.” Amber smiled at him.

“Okay. Let us see what page we can read from.” His thumb flipped through some random page. “There.” He opened the book.

They started reading silently. And after a while, Henry closed the book and both of them actually threw it on the floor.

“What the hell did we just read?” Henry spoke, with a disgust look upon his face. “Is that what I think it is? Is that the famous book with the word Grey in it?”

“Oh my! That book is…” She picked it up and tore the black colored-paper cover, and finally saw the title. She threw it on the floor again. “And Min even gave me the rest of the books.”

“What is up with grey today?” Amber randomly said.

Henry looked at her, confused on what she was talking about, and suddenly realized something. “Oh yeah, grey. You know the Grey in that book is a person. And it is spelled with an ‘E’. But the alternate spelling for the color gray is with an ‘E’.”

“And you really need to explain the obvious to me.” Amber told Henry. “I could speak English you know, and I know the spelling of gray.”

“You’re the one who brought up the topic about grey, the color gray since we’re both wearing gray T-shirts today. From the looks of it, we’re like wearing couple shirts.” Henry pointed out, with a smile on his face.

“Dream on, Henry. Couple shirts” She laughed.

“It’s free to dream, Amber.” Henry reasoned, and Amber rolled her eyes at him.

“Someone dropped a book.” Jessica who was with Tiffany at that time, was about to pick up the said book when Amber hurriedly ran towards it, still holding her milk tea.

“That book is mine, Jess.” She spoke in English. Henry was already standing behind her with their bags, and he whispered, “That was close.”

“O…kay. See you around, guys. We all need to be back at the lounge in fifteen minutes.” Tiffany reminded them. She wasn’t dubbed as Manager Hwang, for no reason.

“Thanks for reminding us, Tiffany.” Henry smiled at the two lovely ladies, while he and Amber walked backwards from them.

“Are these two both wearing gray shirts?” Jess whispered to Tiffany. “They finally had the guts to show everyone they are a couple.” Tiffany whispered back.

“Buy those newspapers so we could wrap this book up.” Amber pointed at a newsstand nearby, and Henry was already opening his wallet.

“I still can’t believe we read that part of the book.” He rubbed his eyes. “At least we’re not sleepy anymore.”

“Yeah, we’re not sleepy but we’re grossed out.” Amber still can’t get over the fact that Min gave her The booksas gifts, and then she hit him with the book.

“Awww that hurts! Why did I do now?” Henry rubbed his arm.

Amber showed him the plastic cup of the milk tea he bought for her. Josephine was written on it. “This is the reason why I hit you, Snoopy.”
