Author's Note: I know I'm updating too seldom and authorshi is every sorry about it. You know how hard it is to be a university student, right? But I'm doing everything I could to write something kryber (i'm too kryber deprived lately) and here it is. Maybe the longest chapter I have written so far. Just forgive me if this is too long because I actually made it so detailed.

And the yulsic encounter chapter that you guys are waiting for, I'll write it after kryber's stay in Busan but i'll write a little of it on the next chapter, okay? Again, i'm sorry for the delay.

I hope you enjoy this chapter.

Amber’s POV

“With the power bestowed upon me, I now pronounce Nichkhun Buck Horvejkul and Song Qian, husband and wife.”

Everyone clapped their hands as we witnessed the newlyweds share their first kiss as husband and wife. True happiness was radiating from Vic noona’s eyes and her ear to ear smile was telling the world that she’s the happiest girl alive. Nichkhun hyung really was lucky to have a wife like her; I could understand why he desperately looked for me and give noona her dream wedding. The young couple looked so in love that I couldn’t help but envy them.

I wish I could marry the person I love too. *sigh*

“Amber!” I heard my bestfriend Minho called my name. The whole Sung Jin family were already posing beside the newlyweds and they’re just waiting for the last family member to come before the photographer take a picture. I joined the group and squeezed myself between Minho and Key, to avoid standing anywhere near you-know-who.

“Bro, move a little bit. You’re too short here. You won’t be seen in the picture,” Minho told me and pushed me a little beside Kim Ki Bum who was standing beside his boyfriend Jonghyun. I just obliged my bestfriend’s words, sensing that he was right.

“You can move a little more, Ambro,” Key told me and squeezed himself between me and Minho. “Jjong, stand beside me, will you?” the diva asked his boyfriend who willingly followed him and stood between Key and me.

I really wanted to strangle Minho and Key when they flashed those evil smiles at the same time I felt something cold beside me. Or should I say, ‘someone’ cold beside me.

“Compress! Compress!” the photographer yelled but I didn’t dare moving a bit.

“Amber, don’t you understand what ‘compress’ is?” Minho playfully said and smirked at me devilishly. I knew exactly what he was up to and I just really wanted to kill him at the moment. I just mouthed a soft ‘You’re so dead!’ and maintained the same distance between me and Krystal, afraid that  she could hear my heart beat with the close distance between us.

“Smile at the camera!” the photographer yelled once more and *click*.

I didn’t know how many times Key and Minho set me up to stand beside Krystal in every group photo we made but I guess it’s just normal for them to do such things, knowing that Krystal and I never had a break up. But after the night we met again in Rally Point, Krystal never uttered me a single word anymore. That’s a good thing actually. My wall wouldn’t crumble in two weeks time.

The silent but obvious set ups continued even during the reception. Donghae hyung purposely made a random guy take my seat on our reserved table and made me sit with Krystal’s group. Sulli even offered her seat for me and made me sit beside Krystal. Seriously, everyone was pushing us towards each other but thanks to Krystal for not talking, I managed to maintain the wall between us.

“Calling the attention of all the single ladies out there, please gather here in front for the ceremonial bridal bouquet throw,” the reception host announced through the microphone and everyone turned their attention to Vic noona who was taking the centre stage with the help of Nichkhun hyung.

“Let’s go, Krys. I’m so gonna get that bouquet,” Sulli told Krystal who was busy scooping the last drop of mango ice cream served as tonight’s dessert. I tried to avoid looking at her when she pouted her cute lips when she finally emptied the glass. Krystal loves mangoes. Yes, I still remember it. How can I forget such a simple thing about this girl?

“Krystal, let’s go! Vic unnie’s going to throw the bouquet!” And Krystal didn’t have the chance to protest when she was dragged by Sulli and Luna to the centre where other girls gathered while I seized the chance to hop on the other table and chat with the guys.

“I don’t understand why those girls go crazy about getting that bouquet,” Key muttered as he fixed Jonghyun’s bowtie whose eyes never left his partner.

“Because they say that whoever catches that bouquet will get married next,” Taemin simply said and his explanation made our diva friend frozen on his seat for a couple of seconds.

“Why are you just telling me that now?!” And Key ran his way to the centre, pushing some girls away. The guys laughed at Key for being too obvious.

“You better start planning your wedding, Jonghyun. Our friend looks desperate to get that bouquet for you to get married next,” I teased Key’s long time boyfriend whom I just met earlier. Key always says that I look like Jonghyun but I never thought that he looked exactly like me.

“Amber’s right, you must propose to Key as soon as possible. He won’t stop nagging you especially if he caught that bouquet,” Minho teased the red-faced Jonghyun.

We nonstop until the host caught our attention and announced who the winner was. It was neither Sulli nor Key nor Luna. It was none other than Krystal who was standing awkwardly beside Vic noona who looked so happy that Krystal caught it. I could feel the guys throw their meaningful look at me but it was only Jonghyun who voiced out his thoughts.

“I guess it’s you who needs to propose soon, Amber,” he told me with a wide smile.

Propose? To my ex-girlfriend? You got to be kidding me.

“Calling the attention of the single guys out there, please gather here in front for the groom’s ceremonial garter throw,” the host announced once again.

Garter throw? Seriously, what is that garter for?

But before I could ask my friends about it, I just found myself being dragged by the guys towards the centre to participate in the event. And when my eyes met Nichkhun hyung’s eyes and he wiggled his eyebrows like he was planning something, I took a step back before anything else but felt someone standing blocking me from behind.

“Don’t worry, Am. There’s a low possibility that you’ll catch that garter,” my bestfriend assured me. Whatever that garter was, I had a feeling that it would smash the wall I built. And so it did.

Krystal’s POV

I wanted to make a move myself but our friends seemed to cooperate with my heart’s intention that they set me up with Amber themselves. During the photoshoot, during the reception, our friends always left Amber with no choice but to sit beside me. But what made me even more confused was the fact that she didn’t protest at all.

Does she really want the idea of us getting back together? Or she doesn’t feel awkward anymore because she had moved on? *sigh*

“Calling the attention of all the single ladies out there, please gather here in front for the ceremonial bridal bouquet throw.”

I knew very well what people say about that bouquet but I really had no plans catching it for myself now that I lost the person whom I wanted to spend my life with. But since it’s Vic unnie’s special day, I willingly let Sulli and Luna drag me to participate in our unnie’s bouquet throw.

“Jinki and I will be next,” Luna uttered seriously as she stretched herself for the ‘battle’.

“No, Myungsoo and I will get married after them,” Sulli boasted and bended her knees like she’s going on an all out race. I just smiled at my friends’ childish attitudes and calmly stood beside them in the middle of the crowd.

“Girls, get ready. The bride will throw it in three, two, one!”

Vic unnie threw her bouquet without looking as every girl in the crowd anticipated for it and raised their hands to catch it. But their hopes of getting married next to the couple shattered when they failed to catch it. And they lost the bouquet to me.

“Omo! Krystal dear, you caught it!” Vic unnie looked so happy with it that she attacked me with a hug. Nichkhun oppa smiled while watching us as he played with that garter on his finger.

“Miss, stay here with the bride for a while,” the host told me and took the floor again. “Calling the attention of the single guys out there, please gather here in front for the groom’s ceremonial garter throw,” she announced.

My eyes widened when I realized what the garter was for. I witnessed it once in a wedding before and I felt blood rushed on my cheeks as I thought of it.

“I didn’t know that Amber would participate,” Vic unnie whispered and smiled. It sure was unusual for the llama to join such a game that would cause an intimate skinship between us if ever she won. But seeing that she was surrounded by our guy friends, I knew she was just forced to do it.

“Before anything else, the groom would like to make an announcement,” the host said and passed the microphone to Nichkhun oppa who was smiling meaningfully at our friends’ direction.

“Whoever catches this garter will earn a prize from me and my wife,” he said on the mike and looked at me and Vic unnie. “The winner will drive me and my wife to our honeymoon in Busan.” The guys started murmuring including Minho and Key who were standing next to Amber. “And Krystal here, as the bouquet’s catcher will join the trip too.”

The guys started whistling and making noise when they heard the groom’s announcement. Everyone seemed to like the idea of me joining the trip that they went crazy but took it seriously. Nichkhun oppa positioned himself at the centre stage with his back on the crowd and threw the garter as far as he could to the crowd that went wild.

I didn’t wish for Amber to catch it; I knew she wouldn’t no matter how I prayed for it. I just silently wished that a nice guy would catch it instead. But as soon as the garter flew to the crowd...

“GO GET IT AMBER!” Minho’s deep voice filled the reception hall and the rest of our guy friends pushed the other guys away to stop them from catching the garter. With the combined forces of Minho, Key, Jonghyun, Taemin and Donghae oppa, the other guys failed to move freely because our friends were blocking them.

And Amber, she was just standing in the middle of the crowd, surprised by the sudden turn of events. The garter, it landed successfully on her hand.

“We have a winner! Please come and join the couple on stage!”

Our friends who looked stunned by their unexpected ‘success’ rushed towards Amber and enveloped her in a big brotherly hug. My heart raced as the handsome llama walked towards the stage after several push and pulls by Kim Ki Bum. Amber stood beside me, still maintaining a wall between us but she managed to flash an awkward smile that made my heart died in an instant.

“I knew it, the idiot won’t let another guy snatch you away,” I heard Vic unnie whisper before sitting on one of the two chairs at the centre stage. Her words made me smile inside that a small amount of hope lighted up. Maybe, just maybe, I still have a place in Amber’s heart.

“What a good-looking young man we have here,” the host praised Amber who just smiled at her. Well, what could I say? My llama, even she's a girl, she really did look like manly in that black tuxedo of hers. She looked way more handsome than before. If only I could tell her that.

“Miss, please take your seat so we could start,” the host told me and guided me to the chair across Vic unnie and made Amber stand beside me. “Everyone, let’s move on to the most exciting part! Now, put the garter on her, kid.”

My heart was beating faster and faster, anticipating for Amber’s next gesture but the idiot just froze on where she was. Amber seemed so lost and didn’t know what to do. Whether she was hesitating to put it on me or she didn’t really know what to do, I really didn’t care.

Can somebody just tell her what to do?!

“Uh, Amber, you should put it on Krystal.” The llama just raised an eyebrow at her noona and I realized that she really didn’t know how to do it. Such an idiot.

“Wear it on her foot then up to her thigh.” And Amber just muttered an ‘Oh’ and went down her knees.

Thanks for telling her, Nichkhun oppa.

My heart might have been jumping in joy knowing that Amber was the one to do it for me but when her hand touched my left foot to remove my stiletto, I had to stop myself from shaking.

“Stop shaking,” she told me. For the first time today, Amber finally uttered words that were meant for me.  I contained the excitement I was feeling inside when she finally wore the garter on my foot and her hand slowly moved the garter up. Her hand was gently grazing up my leg, to my knee and up to my thigh just below the hem of my dress and stopped there. I just realized how much I ached for Amber’s touch which never failed to give me this tingling feeling. And did I say that Amber was trembling like crazy when she did that too? I couldn’t help but imagine naughty things.

The visitor cheered us especially Key who was fanboying crazily, chanting ‘Kryber! Kryber!’ from his seat as Sulli took a video of what happened.

“Kiss! Kiss!” Amber was taken aback by what the crowd was chanting and my heartbeat speed doubled when I heard it too. I felt all my blood rushed up to my face.

“Aigoo. They’re really asking for it. It’s not too much to ask from you two, right? The newlyweds will kiss at the same time too,” the host told us and when Amber seemed to act like she was just cool with it, the host took that as a ‘yes’. “Alright, you may kiss your partner! NOW!”

I just watched the couple about to share their kiss and I saw how Nichkhun oppa leaned down for Vic unnie’s lips but the next thing I knew, Amber’s handsome face blocked the view and planted a sweet kiss on my lips. The fizzy sensation I kept feeling for her two years ago was somehow still there.

And with that kiss, I knew that it’s not really over between us.

Amber’s POV

“Woah. They even kissed longer than the newlyweds,” the host announced and that snapped me out of my little world with Krystal.

What are you doing?! Amber Liu, touching her was enough! How can you kiss her on the lips?! You’re supposed to kiss her cheek, not her lips! Even if you still find those cute pink lips enticing! How can you let your guard down?!

“I’m—

“Don’t dare saying sorry about it.” I almost apologized to her and let another guard down, good thing that she spoke first. Krystal sneered at me and threw that ice cold glare of hers. But I had prepared myself for a long time to endure that scary stare of her.

“I was actually going to say ‘I’m not sorry’,” I smirked, showing the jerk side of me before turning my back on her and bowed at the Khuntoria couple. “Hyung, noona, congratulations again.”

“Don’t dare going anywhere, Amber Liu. You still need to drive us to Busan,” Vic noona told me with a teasing smile and eyed Krystal who just descended the stage by herself.

“Yeah, right. As if you’re going to take ‘no’  for an answer,” I replied with a forced smile before descending the stage and went back to my friends.

The wedding came to an end and I was planning to sneak out of the party but my friends didn’t let me go. They were babbling about Khuntoria’s honeymoon and that I had to do my part of driving them to Busan with Krystal. Seriously, I didn’t know how I ended up on the bridal car’s driver seat.

“Hyung, you know I got into an accident in Busan and driving isn’t really my thing. You should have just asked your driver to send you there.” I was complaining while driving for three hours straight now while the Khuntoria couple was acting lovey dovey on the backseat and Krystal was silently looking out at the window of the passenger’s seat.

“Amber, I know you’re driving as careful as ever now that someone important is sitting just next to you,” he playfully replied, making me even awkward.

“She’s not that important, you know,” I replied tactlessly that I felt Krystal’s soul piercing glares on me from the reflection of the window.

“You’re hurting someone with your words, kiddo,” Vic noona warned me and I knew whom she was referring to. I caught a glimpse of Krystal who closed her eyes and pretended she’s asleep.

“Whatever.”

Okay, I should have just kept my mouth shut.

I drove for another three hours until we reached Haeundae where the couple was planning to spend their honeymoon and I woke Nichkhun hyung up to ask him where I should drop them off.

“We reserved a room at Eastbrook Hotel. Just drive us there,” hyung told me with a smile. Yes, he found out that my family owns the Eastbrook hotel chain no matter how much I denied it but made him promise not to tell anyone yet.

“Hyung, you should have chosen another hotel,” I told him. Why did they have to choose Eastbrook when there were lots of hotels to choose from? Aish.

“It’s the best hotel everywhere, Am. And maybe we’ll get a friendly discount from the owner,” he replied with that devilish grin on his face. “I don’t understand why you want to take us to another hotel when you should be advertising Eastbrook since you’re—

“Alright, alright! I’ll take you there!” And I stepped on the gas pedal and drove to the place where I had a very beautiful memory with the person right next to me.

“Yeobo, wake up. We’re here.” Hyung gently caressed his wife’s cheek and she slowly opened her eyes. Vic noona planted a quick kiss on his lips that hyung actually prolonged, ignoring the presence of other people sitting on the same car with them.

“You shouldn’t have asked me to drive you here if you’re just going to make out on the backseat,” I uttered sarcastically as I looked at them with piercing eyes over the rear view mirror.

“Sorry, Am. Your hyung just can’t get enough of me,” noona replied shyly and pushed hyung away.

“Go inside now and make the best out of your honeymoon. I’ll drive Krystal back home to Seoul tonight,” I told them but as expected, my overprotective noona scolded me.

“Yah, are you crazy?! You can’t drive twelve hours straight! Spend the night here at least!”

“Just go, unnie. Amber and I will just take the earliest KTX,” Krystal said. Her voice almost made me jump out of my seat. I didn’t notice her wake up but she still looked tired and sleepy.

“Get off. We’ll spend the night here.” I was actually tired too and seeing Krystal that exhausted made me weaker to the point that I had no energy left to drive back to Seoul.

Both Nichkhun hyung and I talked to the receptionist who almost freaked out when she recognized me and bowed to me nonstop. Good thing I calmed her down by telling her that I would fire her if the other employees find out.

“Three VIP rooms for us. Please put the bill under my name,” I told the receptionist and I immediately earned a smack on the head from Nichkhun hyung.

“Yah, I won’t abuse you just because we’re friends,” hyung told me and pushed me away from the counter then turned to the receptionist again. “I would like to take the reserved rooms under Victoria Song Horvejkul’s name.”

“Amber! Help Krystal with our things!”

Oh dear god, when will they stop setting me up with Krystal?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the Khuntoria couple shared a wonderful yet exhausting night together, the two still managed to care about their dongsaengs who used to be lovers but broke up two years ago.

“Yeobo, you know that we should not force them back together,” Nichkhun told his lovely wife who was lying on his bare chest.

“Who says we forced them?” Victoria replied and pouted at her husband like a cute child.

“The kids set them up for a countless times already but Amber looked like she had moved on,” Nichkhun said. That’s the conclusion he came up with after he saw how Amber acted naturally in front of Krystal.

But his wife never thought the same. “Oh you don’t know Amber that much, Khunnie.”

“But Vic, they looked like they don’t want to be together. You shouldn’t have ordered someone to lock them up in a room. And I think forcing them to sleep on the same bed was too much. You should have told the person you ordered to leave the couch for Amber to sleep on at least.”

Nichkhun knew how much his wife cares for those two kids and how much she wants her dongsaengs to end up together but he believed that they shouldn’t meddle with them anymore.

“What?! They’re locked up in a room without a couch and nothing but a bed?!” Victoria shot at his husband who was thinking how great her wife’s acting was. If he didn’t know his wife that much, he could have believed that Vic had nothing to do with it.

“Hey, don’t act like you know nothing about this. I know how much you ship Kryber but Vic, this isn’t right. This is too much,” he told Vic who didn’t let her surprised expression drop off her face. Nichkhun just raised an eyebrow at his wife, waiting for her to flash an evil grin.

“But Khunnie, I booked two separate rooms for them!”
