= SLAP! =

My eyes widen, because of what I did. I just slapped Amber - hard. I covered my mouth with my hands, staring at her, now that she's looking at the ground. Her cheek is burning and a bit visible mark was left on it. I didn't intent to do it, its just that I was disappointed. She promised me, not to tell anyone but she broke it off. I wanted to say something to her but, I can't even open my my mouth. I had no choice, but to ran away .....

I wanted to say my sorry, that I didn't mean it on purpose, but ... She made me do that. After what happened, I know my relationship with Amber will change. I don't know, why does she kept on hurting me? Am I bad person? Did I do something bad to her? Amber, why am I still in love with you, despite you break my heart again and again?

"Soojung?" I quickly wiped away the tears from my face, when I heard my Mom calling me.

"Yes, Mom?" I answered, when I already finished fixing myself. She's at the door peeking her head out.

"Can I come in?" She asked and I nodded as a signal that I agreed. She walked inside - closing the door, before she sat on the edge of my bed.

"What is it, Mom?" She let out a deep sigh, before she spoke.

"Nothing. I just wanted to talk to my youngest daughter." I hummed in-response. "Do you miss your sister? She's coming back tomorrow."

Oh, yeah. Tomorrow is her arrival and I bet, she already knew something. Honestly, I'm nervous because I know she'll talk about what happened to me. I just hope, she doesn't tell Mom and Dad.

"Yeah, Mom. Of course, I do." I said. I was sluggish to respond on every question she's asking me, but I'm not tired - my mind is just occupied of what I did to Amber.

"Soojung? I wanted to tell you something." Her voice is a bit serious. She trailed off, before she spoke. "Soojung, you're a good girl and I know you have problems, even if you don't tell me. You're very secretive and I don't know, why? But, I somehow understand. Just remember, I'm here for you - WE are here for you to lend you a hand."

My mom, reached for my hand and trapped it in between hers - squeezing it lightly. "Soojung ... Remember that everything has its own limit, okay?"

My Mom is getting  me nervous of all the saying she's trying to tell me. Does she knows something that I don't know?

She let out a soft chuckle - patting my head gently. "Its just a piece of advice. I just want to keep that in your mind."

With that, she got off from my bed and I tilted my head sideways. "That's it? I thought, you wanted to talk to me?"

"Yeah, that's it. And besides, its already late, you have schedule tomorrow, right?" I nodded. She kissed me on the forehead, before she walk towards the door.

"Goodnight, Soojung." She muttered and I gave her my brightest smile, and with that she left. Once the door is closed, I remembered what my Mom said. Her last statement made me confused. What does she mean by that? Everything has its own limitation?

"Baby! I missed you~" Jessica squealed like a rat, when she jumped herself onto me. I caught her, by hugging her body tighter.

"I miss you too~" I smelled her sweet scent, by nuzzling my nose in the crook of her neck. Because, we missed each other, we were like this for how-long, until my knees are getting numb and decided to put her down.

"I really missed you, Jessica." I said. Our foreheads were connected with my hands on her sides - roaming it up and down, while hers on my chest.

"Me too, baby. I miss you more." Her lips curved up a smile and I gave her a peck in-response. She giggled and I noticed her blushing.

Gosh, 4 days is only a short time, but for me its like I've spent years without her. I miss her so much and I'm thankful that she's already here beside me. While we were drained in each others presence, we suddenly heard some giggles. That's when we realized that we're not alone here, and not to mention that I'm also at her dorm.

"Unnies! Hehe!" I broke out a nervous laugh as we pulled away from the embrace, but my arm is still wrapped around her waist.

"Aigoo~ Our lovebirds are really sweet~" They giggled and now we're both blushing. I scratched my head awkwardly as I hung my head low.

"Yeah. OH! You know what, Amber? She kept on telling us that she misses you already and take note that, when we only just came there." Tiffany teased, which Jessica reach her arm and slap it. This made the girls laughed - including me. She blushed harder, and I kissed the top of her head.

"Okay, girls. Enough with that, let's go and they need time together alone." Taeyeon-unnie, announced as she motioned her members to leave us. I smiled at her, giving her a thumbs up. She winked at us and we both chuckled in response, as they left - leaving us alone.

"Baby, did you already called your Mom and Dad?" I asked. My hands on her shoulders and she was hugging me by the waist, resting her head in my chest as we sat comfortably on to sofa.

'Uh-huh. I said that I will go there later, after we visit Krystal. --- By the way, do you know where she is?"

"Uhm. Actually, she's at our dorm together with Vic and Sulli." I frowned, when the thought hit my mind about what happened between us a few days ago. I just knew that from Sulli, when she called me earlier.

"I want to talk to her now, Amber." She lift her head from my chest, looking at me. " I want to comfort her and I want to kill Taemin, for doing that to my little sister."

She was furious, when she mentioned Taemin's name. I can't blame her, she's the victim's sister. Jessica is still wondering, why Krystal doesn't want to tell her - especially to her parents. She knows her sister too well, but she want to make sure that is why she'll talk to her.

I didn't tell her about our fight. I don't have any plans on telling her. I know, she has the right to know, but what happened to Krystal is more important now, than our situation.I'm not saying that, it is least important, its just that, I want to settle everything first, before anything else. I will just try my best to fix my friendship with her again.

Jessica and I decided to visit my dorm, since Krystal is there. She will talk to her now. We bid our goodbyes to SNSD-unnies, before we left. Krystal and I didn't see each other, after the incident. I can feel that she's avoiding me and I understand why. Its fine, if she's mad at me, but I'm doing this just for her own good. I just hope that someday she'll forgive me.

"Soojungie~ Are you sure you are not going?" Sulli said with her aegyo. Vic-umma and I just smiled at her action.

"Yeah, Ssul. I feel not going anywhere, and I'm already tired from the photo shoot earlier."

"Okay, then we have to go Soojung. Take care --- bye!" Vic-umma bid her goodbye and Sulli pinched my cheek playfully, before she run away to the dorr with Vic-umma.

"Yah! Choi Jinri! I will get you when you get back!" I shouted and she just stuck her tongue out at me, before they closed the door. I chuckled, rubbing the sore spot she pinched.

As I was grabbing the remote control on the coffee table in-front of me, I heard the door clicked open. Weird. What did they forget? I looked up and saw my Unnie together with ..... -- Amber. I slowly stood up from the sofa, staring at their figure while they were both approaching me. Honestly, I miss my Unnie. I didn't have a chance to get in touch with her earlier when she came back, because I was busy.

"Soojungie~" She hugged me tightly and I return the same warmth she's giving me. I felt that my shoulder is sort of drenched, that was when I realized that she's crying.

"Unnie .." I whispered. I was sad, because when she came, instead of being blissfully happy because of the success of their concert; Here we are -- frustrated and depressed. I can feel that Amber's eyes are on me. I looked up and caught her staring at me, but I quickly shifted my gaze away from her.

"Uhm. I think I have to leave the both of you alone. I'll be outside." We pulled away from the hug, and before she even strolled towards the door, Amber gave her a soft peck on the lips and I have to look down - not wanting to watch their affection. After that, she left.

She heaved out a deep sigh as she motioned me to sit on the sofa. I still had my head low, when she spoke. "Soojung. Are you feeling well?"

I didn't answer her in words, but in action. I just nod weakly. "Soojungie~ ... Amber told me everything. If you don't want to tell me about your break-up with Taemin, its fine. But .. I wanted to know, why you don't want to tell it to Mom and Dad?"

I was playing with my fingers, where my hands were resting on my lap. Tears are starting to cloud in my eyes, my heart is beating rapidly and I think she noticed it, because she was rubbing my back.

"U-unnie .. I don't want any trouble .. P-please .. Don't tell to Mom and Dad." I said in-between sobs.

"But, Soojung. Taemin caused this trouble. You didn't do anything. They have the right to know. They are our parents. You should un ------"

"U-unnie .. Please .. I don't want to be a burden to you -- to Mom and Dad. I-I don't to make the issue bigger ... P-please."

"B-but .. Soojung. They're part of our family." I lift up my head and saw her tears are already rolling down through her cheeks.

"U-unnie .. P-please .." I fell down on my knees - kneeling in-front of her. "S-Soojung .. What are you doing? Get up!"

"Aniyo. U-unie .. Please .. Don't tell it to them. Please .." I can't even breath normally, because I was literally sobbing - hard. I held her hand tightly, begging her not to spill it to them.

Its evident, that you can only hear our sobs throughout the place, and I think Amber can hear it outside. My eyes are already swollen, I barely speak the words that I wanted to say, because my throat is parched. But, it doesn't stop me to beg her, and I just hope that Unnie is kind of convinced and understand my decision.
