“Oh where’s Oppa?” Hoku asked confused as she walked back into the living room with their refreshments to see Crystal sitting by herself.

“Oh, he had a phone call.” She answered pointing out the backdoor where she looked.

“Ah, I see.” Hoku answered putting the tray of drinks and cookies down on the coffee table.

“Thanks.” Crystal thanked taking a sip of her water before placing it down.

“I’m so glad you guys dropped by.” Hoku spoke as Crystal looked up to see that her eyes were still noticeably puffy.

“Is everything ok Hoku-ssi?” Crystal asked hesitantly as Hoku’s head whipped around before she smiled.

“Just call me Hoku, the extra makes me feel old.” She teased as crystal chuckled.

“No, nothing’s wrong. Just a bit exhausted is all.” She answered before Crystal nodded, knowing that it was rude to dig into someone else’s business.

“Did you just get in from Japan?” Hoku then asked as Crystal smiled and nodded.

“Hey, you don’t have to be nervous around me. I apologize if I look intimidating.” Hoku quickly mentioned as Crystal looked over surprised.

“No, you’re not intimidating. It’s just, out of all the Oppa’s respective halves, you are the only one that actually talks to me.” Crystal admitted as Hoku’s eyes shot open.

“What? Really? The other’s don’t talk to you?” Hoku asked shocked as Crystal shook her head.

“I mean, I really look up to them. I try to talk to them and everything but it just seems like I’m not wanted when I’m around.” Crystal admitted hurt as Hoku sighed and nodded from her spot.

“I think I may know why, but it’s not your fault.” Hoku retorted as Crystal looked up to her gentle expression.

“It may be because everyone is still getting over Tyra being gone.” Hoku whispered still a bit hurt about it.

“Ah, I see.” Crystal mentioned as Hoku sighed before looking up.

“It’s not your fault. It may just take some time for the girls to get used to you being around in Tyra’s spot.” Hoku explained as Crystal shamefully looked down to her lap. It grew quiet before Crystal felt a hand on her own, she looked up to see Hoku looking at her with a smile.

“Anytime they are giving you a hard time, just call me, I’ll take of it. I’m literally like the mother of this group of kids.” She teased causing Crystal to laugh before Hoku joined in.

“Oppa is a sweetheart isn’t he?” Hoku then asked as Crystal blushed before nodding.

“He said he looks at you like a little sister.” Crystal admitted causing Hoku to laugh into her hand.

“If I’m his litter sister, he’s my big doofus brother.” Hoku teased looking to the window to see that he must have been having some intense talk with whoever he was talking to on the phone from the looks of it.

“Are you guys dating yet?” Hoku then asked as Crystal choked back on her water.

“Sorry about that.” Hoku apologized handing her a napkin to dab and slightly damp outfit.

“No it’s alright.” Crystal quickly added.

“Um, no, we’re not.” Crystal spoke as Hoku nodded.

“You don’t like him?” Hoku asked as Crystal’s eye shot open before she quickly shook her head. Blushing when she realized what she had done. Hoku chuckled before leaning back in her seat.

“It’s alright, I’ll keep it a secret.” Hoku reassured causing Crystal to smile.
“I thought oppa would have asked me by now, but I don’t think he likes me.” Crystal whispered as Hoku snorted catching Crystal’s attention.

“Believe me, he likes you. I think he’s just afraid to ask you.” Hoku explained as Crystal looked at her confused.

“Afraid to ask me? Why?” Crystal asked as Hoku smiled over to her.

“I’m sure he’s just afraid that you may not like him like he does, he may be afraid to ask you and you’d take it the wrong way and run.” Hoku explained as Crystal nodded in understanding before looking to the window.

“He likes you, don’t worry about that. Just give him some time to gain some courage to do it.” Hoku asked as Crystal nodded in understanding.

“Hey, can I ask you for a favor?” Hoku suddenly mentioned as Crystal nodded putting her cup down.

“Sure, anything.”

“I want to plan a party.” Hoku admitted as Crystal nodded.

“It’s Jiyong’s birthday next weekend so I want to plan a surprise birthday party for him with all his friends.” Hoku whispered looking to make sure that TOP was still outside.

“I don’t want anyone to know, well maybe except the girls, but I want to keep it away from the guys.” Hoku added as Crystal nodded.

“So what do you need help with?” She asked as Hoku sighed.

“Well I’ll need help getting in contact with his friends, and get a few things for it.” Hoku whispered before Crystal nodded.

“I’ll help with anything, just let me know.”

“So what are you girls talking about?” Top interrupted them causing Hoku to smile.

“Just girl stuff. Who was that on the phone?” Hoku answered as TOP took a seat next to Crystal before sipping the water.

“YG just wanting to discuss something’s.”  TOP answered before plopping down shyly next to Crystal.

“Something wrong at the office?” Crystal asked hesitantly as TOP smiled down at her before shaking his head.

“Nope. Everything’s Fine.”
