"5 .. 6 .. 7.. 8.."

"Woah! Okay guys! That's it for today! You've worked hard!" The choreographer said and bowed his head. We bowed as well, in return and he bid goodbye to us and left the studio.

"I really love our new steps! I can't wait for our comeback!" Sulli squealed as she jumped up and down. The five of us are here in the dance studio at SM agency to rehearse our new steps for our comeback. I admit, its quite intense but we can managed to handle it

"Though its hard, but I think we can do it." Victoria-umma said while  wiping her forehead using her white towel. I was rummaging my back to look for new fresh clothes, while the others were talking some random things, when suddenly, a hand holding a bottle filled with water blocking my view. I turned my head to the left side and saw Soojung smiling.

"OH! For me?" I raised my eyebrows, pointing an index-finger on my chest. She rolled her eyes with a smile plastered on her face.

"Of course, pabo .." She lowered her voice on the last part and I just gave her my famous dorky, yet cute smile. I grabbed the bottle before utterin a `thank you`. I stood straight and turn the cap clockwise; I chug it down and notice that Soojung's still there staring at me. Weird. Then suddenly, we heard the door cracked open. I turned my head, revealing my girlfriend's half-body peeping at the door. Our eyes met and I gave her a smile, still drinking my water. She flashed a sweet smile in-response before turning her attention to Victoria.

"Uhmm .. Excuse me, Victoria-unnie? Can I borrow my sister for a moment?" She asked.

"Of course, Sica. Since our rehearsal is already done." She motioned Krystal to get to her sister, she nodded lazily and I noticed that while she was walking towards her sister, her face becomes sad. Weird, is she bipolar or something?

"I'll call you later, okay?" Jessica mouthed at me and I just wiggled my eyebrows, giving her thumbs-up. Then, the two sisters left the studio.I just hope that I can help Krystal with her problems .

"You're going to the Philippines, next week?" I asked as I tighten my grip around her shoulder.

"Uh-huh. That's why we're here in my place to spend more time with you." She snuggles closer to me as she lay her head on my chest. I smiled. Cuddling on the couch with my girlfriend is a good idea. I kissed the top of her head and she kissed my neck in-response.

"So, how long are you gonna stay there?"

"4 days. We will leave here by friday night, so that we can reach there by morning or afternoon." I frowned when she told me that she'll be gone for 4 days. I know, its only a short period of time but, for 4 days that I will not see her? I'll definitely miss her.

"Will you miss me, Amber?" She lift her head from my chest to look at me. She was pouting and I shook my head vigorously. She gasped as she squinted her eyes, giving me a slap on my arm.

"Hehehe! Its only a joke princess .." I kissed her nose. "Of course, I'll miss you. I know its not too long .. But .. You really ARE irresistable."

A smile crept up on her face and she snuggles back to me. "I'll miss you too, baby. But ... WAIT!" She abruptly lift her head from my chest again, kneeling on the couch. Showing me an `interogation` look.

"While I'm gone, I want you to BEHAVE. Arachi??" She said emphasizing the `Behave` part. I chuckled and sat-up straight, giving her a salute.

"Yes, ma'am!" She giggled at my `oh-so-military` voice. Then the next thing I knew, she was crawling towards me with a smirk on her face. I froze on my spot as I saw her hips sway side to side. I gulped when I felt her lips on my left ear.

"I owe you one ... Right?" She whispered, sending shivers down my spine. Oh, I think I will enjoy this moment.

SINSADONG, SEOUL

"Here's your blueberry cheesecake sir and your mango tart ma'am." The waiter said while placing our dessert on the table. Its a bit weird, because this restaurant don't offer a mango tart for dessert.

"Your dessert is specially made by this restaurant, only for you ma'am." I quirked my head to the side with my eyebrows furrowed. What is he talking about? Then, I heard Taemin giggled and motioned the waiter to leave. He bowed his head before he left us.

"Before we came here, I asked them to make a mango tart, for you. Fortunately, they agreed." I was surprised. I didn't expect that he'll do this for me. He's really a sweet guy. I gave him a genuine smile. But, how did he know my favorite dessert?

"Actually, Amber told me. She said you really like mangoes and I should order a mango tart for you. She said you really want it."

"A-amber?" He nodded. I unconsciously formed a smile on my lips, not because of what he did but because Amber really knows me well. I sighed happily because of the thought.

"So let's eat our dessert? They're calling our names already." I nodded like a happy kid. I grabbed the spoon beside my plate and start digging-in.

"How is it? Delicious?" I heard him asked.

"Yes. Its really delicious.!" He showed me a warm smile, before averting his eyes to his food. I stared at him for a moment. Every time that we're together, he will do his best to make me happy. He even prepared this whole thing just for me. But, for all the good things he have done to me, not in a moment, I said my thanks to him.

"Taemin?" He looked up to me. "Hmmm??"

"Thank you." I don't want to wait for his answer, so I looked down at my food as I started eating it again. I know his surprised. I just want to let him know, that I appreciate his effort for preparing this. And I think, he get what I meant. After we ate our dessert, Taemin paid the bill and we left the restaurant.

N SEOUL TOWER

Since today is sunday, people strolling around Namsan Tower were only few. So there's a thin possibility that people might recognize us. We first went to Teddy Bear Museum and honestly, I miss going back here. Its just that, being a celebrity is really busy that's why its very rare to hang-out with my friends. I'm here at the top floor at Namsan Tower, where I can see the beautiful view of Seoul. I'm waiting for Taemin, he said that he'll buy something from the cake shop. He's been gone for 15 minutes. Why took him so long?

"Krystal!" I looked behind to see Taemin approaching me while holding a medium-sized paper bag.

"Sorry for waiting. By the way, this is for you."

He handed me the blue paper bag. I looked at him and he's waiting for me to took it. I gave him a confused look and he just chuckled. I'm still hesitating to accept it, but Taemin held my right hand, placing the holder on my wrist. He motioned me to open it and once I opened it, I saw a small teddy bear, but its a different teddy bear. I grabbed it from inside and look at it closely. I realised, this is the teddy bear that caught my attention, earlier. Maybe he noticed me staring at it. Its a teddy bear llama. Though, its a teddy bear but it really looks like a llama and it makes me remember Amber. I chuckled out loud at the thought.

"I knew you like it." I smiled at him, before putting back the teddy bear inside the paper bag. I said my thanks to him and he gave me a kiss on the cheek. I felt guilty as I remember the reason, why did I agree on this luch date. I know, it made him happy. I can see it on his eyes. But I don't want to get things worse. I know it will hurt him but I have to do this.

"Taemin?"

"Yes, Krystal?" His smile on his face, his good mood. I really don't want to ruin it. But I have to tell him.

"I-i'm .. S-sorry .." His genuine smile turned into a frown. Just by saying `sorry`, his mood changed.

"Why? Krystal?" He held my arms, gripping it gently. His eyes are showing that he's worried. Oh god. I'm really sorry, Taemin.

"W-we h-have .." My voice cracked. I'm really sorry Taemin. I hope you can forgive me someday.
