The Next Day

Sulli POV

Yesterday, Krystal never told us what was wrong and she fell asleep before she unlocked the door so I had to sleep on the couch. Right now I'm eating breakfast just like on any other regular morning. We tried calling Krystal out to eat for breakfast again, but she refused just like she did yesterday night. I'm starting to get a little worried of her now... I've always loved her and tried my best to make her realize it and I want to get the chance to tell her how I really feel about her. I hope that she'll feel better so I can tell her that I love her more than I have ever loved before. I would love her enough to overcome my fear of the deep bodies of water and birds. Anyways, back in reality most of the members had finished with their breakfast and were getting ready for their schedules, but Soojung was still in her room.

"Krystal! We have to leave for a schedule for a variety show!!!" Victoria- Umma howled at Krystal.

"Arasso," A weak voice replied before the door of our room slowly creaked open.

It revealed a thin pale version of our previously cool maknae. We weren't used to this side of Krystal and it sent a shiver down my spine whenever we did see her like this.

"Maybe you should stay home today. You don't look very well," Amber suggested to Krystal.

"Yeah, I agree with Amber. We'll call up the manager and tell him that you aren't feeling well today," Luna supported. 

When Krystal heard what they said she just smiled the same smile she would show to the camera and said, "Don't worry about me, I'm fine. It's just the after effects of something that happened yesterday."

"What did happen yesterday, Soojung..." I stared into her eyes.

She looked at me and then flinched before quickly turning away. It was the first time I noticed that her eyes were so dull without the tiniest light sparkling in her pupils.

"I'll tell you later," She coldly answers and starts walking away to our van that will soon carry us to our variety show.

"Just promise you'll get better!" I called out to her.

"I'll get better, but I can't make that a promise," She responds and then continues towards our black van.

All of us just stare at her in disbelief as we watch her leave us with a unfamiliar cold atmosphere. It hurts my heart that we still don't know what is wrong with my beloved and that she doesn't trust me enough to tell me. Soojung, if you just told me what was wrong I could protect you from it and help you escape with me.

A Few Moments Later... Somewhere During The Variety Show, ********

"Krystal, you haven't talked today and you look at bit sick. Are you okay?" The MC asked concerned about Krystal's abnormal behavior.

"I'm fine... I'm just a bit tired, that's all. I'm sorry if I made you worried," She suddenly put on that same smile and acted like she was happy and healthy even though that was probably the opposite of what she was feeling just a moment before.

Maybe
