Beside You

Twenty-five

Krystal immediately pointed at the shikshin who already dig into her food.

At night,

All of them were in the living room. Jessica, Hyoyeon, Sunny and Krystal was sitting on one of the couch. Yoona, Seohyun, Tiffany are on the other couch while three dorks, Taeyeon, Sooyoung and Amber are searching for a horror movie on the floor.

"I want to watch this!" Sooyoung showed to Taeyeon.

"No, its boring. This one's better." Taeyeon showed

"But I prefer this one." Amber said. All three of them started bickering while other just watch them being a fool.

"Yah, three of you, stop it. Just choose one." Suuny got annoyed then scolded the three of them. All the of them remain silent, then Taeyeon and Amber gave in to Soo, because she can't stop complaining.

Amber move closer to Krystal's legs and lean on them as she was on the floor. Taeyeon did the same to Tiffany since there isn't enough space on the couch. After Sooyoung started the movie, she went to the very back of the living room and sat on the floor.

All of them were munching snacks and drinking beers while they watch the movie starts. Sooyoung was at the very back, she wanted to watch the movie but got distracted by Jessica who was hugging herself and covering her face a pillow. Soo smiled as she watch her crush squeal.

Without Soo noticing, Krystal was watching her since the morning. Krystal was watching how she treats Jessica, how she look at Jessica, how she takes care of Jessica. Krystal realise is all. Krystal bend down at Amber and whispered, "Am, look at Soo."

Amber turn at Soo, she was eating while she watch Jessica. Amber turn at smirk, she turn back at Krys and shrug her shoulders.

"She look like a weirdo watching my sister like that." Krystal move down next to Amber so she could talk.

"Well, can't deny. She is a weirdo." Amber look at Soo again then let out a small laugh.

"Don't you think she likes unnie? She been watching unnie all day." Krsytal turn her head again at Soo.

"Don't talk rubbing, come here." Amber pull Krystal closer and swing her arms around her shoulders.

Amber snap her fingers causing Taeyeon who was in front of her look at her. When Amber got her attention, she pointed her fingers to Soo who is still staring. Taeyeon saw then told Tiffany, they both chuckle. Taeyeon made a face cough to get Soo's attention but it is a waste of time. Soo didn't even blink her eyes, she was really having fun staring.

After an hour past, the movie ended. Seohyun and Yoona ended up sleeping in each other's arm, Tiffany also slept. Hyoyeon took a blanket and cover Seohyun and Yoona.

"Yah Taeyeon, is Tiffany sleeping here? Or in your room?" Hyoyeon asked, Taeyeon look puzzled when she had her eyes on Tiffany.

"I can't carry her, Hyo." Taeyeon shake her head.

"You need help?" Amber came behind them with Krystal when she heard that Taeyeon can't carry Tiffany. Taeyeon giggles then nod.

"Grow some muscles, midget." Amber squeeze Taeyeon's skinny arm before carrying Tiffany, making Taeyeon flinch.

Taeyeon support Amber as they walk up the stairs just in case if they fall. When they got into their room. Amber slowly put down Tiffany as gently as possible, but Tiffany's arm doesn't want to release Amber's neck.

"Taeyeon..." Tiffany didn't realize she was hugging onto Amber not Taeyeon. Amber raise up her hand and look at Taeyeon who hand a shock expression.

"Yah, Fany. That is not Taeyeon." Taeyeon said as she came closer to the bed. Tiffany rub her eyes, she immediately push Amber away when she realize she was hugging Amber all this while. Amber landed on the floor, causing Taeyeon to have a big laugh. Tiffany go nearer to the edge and look down at Amber and showed Amber her eye-smile, "Mianhe."

While Taeyeon was laughing, Tiffany helped Amber up. Amber hit Taeyeon arm lightly and chuckle. "Payback for calling me midget." Taeyeon said with her watery eyes.

"Whatever, you're still a midget. Goodnight guys." Amber said as she walk out of their room. Amber went down to see the others, she saw Hyoyeon, Soo and Sunny on the dining table with their can of beers. Amber sat with them, "What are you guys talking about?"

"Yul." Sunny replied. When she said Yuri's name, Amber immediately look down.

"What's with her?"

"We want to meet her and sort things out for Jessica. She look so down." Hyoyeon said. Amber glance at Soo who was quietly sitting there playing with her fingers.

"Is Sica okay?" Amber asked.

"I don't know, she head straight to her room after the movie ended. I think you should go check on her. Me and Hyo will clean up the mess." Amber nod and gesture Soo to follow her up. Soo was quiet, they knock on the door a few times until the door open revealing Sica in her pyjamas. She let them in, they sat on the bed with her.

"Sica, are you okay?"Amber rub Sica's back. Sica wanted to smile but tears were coming out. She instantly landed her head on Amber and started crying. Amber can't help but wrap her arms around her. Soo was kneeling on the floor in front of her, holding her thighs. Amber pull away and hold Sica's shoulder, "Stop crying Sica, we don't like seeing you cry like this." Amber said wiping her tears.

"Tell us, why are you crying?" Soo said as she still hand her hands firmly holding onto Sica's thigh.

"She hates me, Soo. She walk away because of me, my attitude. I hate myself." Sica said hitting her head hardly, Soo immediately stop her by hugging her tight. She ended up crying in Soo's neck. After a few minutes of comforting her, Sica fell asleep in Soo's arm.

"You can go to bed Am, I'll keep an eye in her." Soo said as she putting Sica down on her bed. Amber nod then pat Soo's back, "Take care of her Soo." She smile then get out of the room.

Amber walk into her room hoping that Krystal will be on her bed but sadly, no. Krystal wasn't there, Amber got change into her pyjamas and jump on her bed. As much as she wanted to sleep, she felt different when there's no one beside her.

"Not doing this anymore." She grab a pillow with her, her phone and creep to Krystal's room. Like a thief, she slowly open Krystal's room door. Krystal was on the bed with her phone.

"Why didn't you came to my room?" Amber asked with a pout on her face and went closer to Krystal.

"I want to sleep in my room tonight." Krystal said as she put her phone away and saw Amber pouting, "why are you here?"

"I can't sleep without you." Amber admitted and sat beside Krystal on the bed.

"You can sleep here if you want." Krystal said.

"YAY!" Amber immediately pull the bed sheet over her body and rest her head on Krystal's stomach and wrap her arm around her waist.

Krytsal can't help but smile at her dorky 'friend'. She kept stroking Amber's hair still both of them fell asleep.
