"Kai....I caused you all this pain. Look at your neck! It's bleeding all because of me. I am such a stupid ..."

"Hey!!" I yelled, not liking what I was hearing. Accidentally, it came out more as a yell. Amber's eyes widened in a mix of shock and fear, and her tears went down more rapidly. , not again. "No, don't cry. I'm sorry and if anything I am the here. All I seem to do is make you feel bad, yet you deserve not of it. You're an amazing, kind girl that doesn't deserve any of this. Here, let's get you cleaned up."

 I put each of my arms underneath her knees and on the small of her back, lifting us both up. Her eyes widened again, a light deep blush appearing on her face. I smirked at the cute reaction I had gotten from her. I didn't see her possibly being the shy, girly type...but now that I think about it it all made sense. Even with her boyish haircut and persona, it fit her and I liked it.

 "What are you doing?" she said, her voice seeming to get a weaker by the minute. Damn, I was starting to get really nervous. Seeing Amber not boisterous and full of energy killed. It was so painful to see, it could kill someone in the blink of an eye. At least, that was how I felt, but I'm sure others feel the same way. Her parents must love her to death and can't help but spoil her; I'm already envious at that thought.

 "I'm taking you to safety. Just be quiet and relax, you're in safe arms now."

 She looked up at me, but was too weak to take no for an answer. Amber decided to accept whatever was to happen next and closed her eyes, resting her head inbetween my chest and shoulder. Not seeing her fight me both worried but calmed me at the same time, if that makes any sense. I began to walk out of the alley and towards my apartment. It wouldn't be too long of a walk, seeing as I lived only a few minutes away just by walking from here. Also, this girl was mad light so it wouldn't be an issue at all.

~*~

 After a few minutes, I was finally inside my apartment. Before doing anything else, I took her to my room and rested her on top of my bed. I was careful setting her down and moving the blankets over her, not wanting to harm her if she was bruised at all. Amber had fallen asleep on the way, it was kind of cute. God Damn, I must be losing my mind.

"Kai....I'm sorry." she mumbled in her sleep. Even in her dreams, she was still apologizing and innocent as hell. I sat next to her on the bed, putting a hand in her hair and petting her gently.

 "You did nothing wrong Amber, now be happy. You're too sweet not to be." I said, a small smile curling up on her lips and seeming to fall into a deeper sleep. The sight brought a small smile to my lips.

 "Yo....okay....Y ~~"

 I heard my phone go off in my pocket.

 Oh ! I quickly turned off the noise on my cell phone so it wouldn't wake her up. I back at Amber to see if she had moved or changed at all. To my luck, she was still sound asleep. Happy, I looked back to my phone to see who was calling. Taemin. What the hell, even at around midnight he was still calling me without a care in the world. Nothing seemed to inconvenience him. Stupid hyung. I slowly got up from the bed, careful to not upset Amber in any way, and walked out of the room while closing the door quietly behind me.

 "Hello?"

"Guess who's manager gave me a call?" Well, he could have eased into the topic, but of course not because he was that friend named Taemin.

 "If God truly loved me, it wouldn't be mine."

 "Well, apparently he doesn't love you." he chuckled. "Your manager called a few hours ago during my practice time and I was told to explain to him what the hell happened with you and the 'he-she'. You're lucky I played dumb for you there, but he is gonna want to know from you tomorrow afternoon at rehearsal. He's pretty upset, especially not knowing anything or you not even talking about him about the incident."

 "I didn't think it was that big of a deal. Besides, telling him would be horrible because then he goes into about how much of an idiot I am and then somehow it goes into why his ex-wife divorced him and what he is going through right now and...."

 "Who the hell cares about his woman problems!? Jongin, you gotta stop being a if you wanna be an idol."

 "You're great with support." Sarcasm dripped from my lips. Dealing with these problems right now was the last thing I wanted to do. I rather pluck every hair off of my body than deal with this. Then again, my skin cringed at that thought.

 "Look, you're like a little, rebellious brother of mine. I would really hate to see anything happen to you or especially with your career. You have so much talent, and for it to be wasted on something like this would be a total shame. You should just tell people she was an anti-fan and attacked you first. People will be more likely to side with you and hate the girl."

 I didn't want anything to happen to Amber though...that wasn't fair. Though, my career was at stake here. Why should some girl wreck it? though, I couldn't harm Amber...especially this way. "I can't do that." I winced after I said that, expecting the immediate whiplash Taemin would offer me in a moment.

 "What!? Who the hell cares about that girl!?!? I sure as hell don't!!!! She is not your issue. Besides, it won't affect you."

 "Lying though....?"

 "Since when the hell did you care about lying!? Jongin, what the hell has gotten into you!? Did I call you too late at night and are you half-asleep!?" His yelling caused me to move my phone away from my ear until he was done with rant. I could feel ringing in my ears now.

 "I'm not a horrible person, believe it or not. I just learned this recently myself." I quietly muttered the last part to myself, but Taemin could probably hear it.

 "Oh my god, I never thought you would magically turn into a good person, especially NOW of all times. Holy , if there was ever a time I wanted to beat the hell out of you, now seems like the perfect damn time!!" He stopped for a moment, recollecting his cool. "Look, if you're seriously this against hurting this crazy- girl....well I guess we will have to think of another plan. Meet me for breakfast tomorrow morning before rehearsal. I'll text you then."

 "Alright, that sounds good. Thanks Taemin. Goodnight."

 "Night."

 He hung up, and I couldn't help but take a deep breathe. Everything seemed to be moving so fast - somehow even faster than when I debuted. What was I supposed to do now? Every fiber of my being refused to hurt Amber, while it seemed like the best option for me. Annoyed, I turned off my phone and placed it back in my pocket. Remembering Amber, I checked in on her and saw her still sound asleep. She looked so comfortable, I couldn't help but sit down next to her.

 I laid against my headboard, not realizing I was falling to sleep myself.
