Amber scrambled to sit upright. She desperately reached for her phone on the bed stand. She missed, and her device slid to the edge, toppling over. She grabbed it quickly, but the phone almost slipped from her clammy fingers. She juggled it with one hand, attempting to break its fall. She managed to toss it onto the bed, barely saving the already broken device.

"You should have said that earlier!" She wailed to MinJae, her voice pitching at the end with her panic. God. She was scared. She was nervous. She was anxious.

She turned her phone on, flipping the camera to check her appearance. Her lips were a little swollen from his kisses, and her cheeks a little red. Otherwise, she looked fine. Save for the messy bedhead that seemed to stay perpetually to her head, although the flower crown did help to hide some of the mess. She ran her fingers through her hair, brushing the strands into a neater position. The flowers parted at her touch, making way for her fingers.

"You look beautiful." MinJae soothed, gently smoothing out her hair.

She pursed her lips, chewing at the flesh nervously before she spoke. Her panic was making her extra talkative. "Do you think they will be mad at me?" She chewed on her lips, furrowing her brows.

"You're worried about them being angry?" MinJae gasped, raising a brow in question. Amber was a little miffed at how surprised he looked. Was it really that ridiculous? "Are you serious?"

"I did keep a very big secret for a very long time and played around with everyone's feelings." She reminded him and then groaned at the thought, slamming a palm to her head. "I'm such a fucking idiot."

Why did she have to go and do all that crap? Kiss not just one soulmate but three? Curse her horny body! She should have just kept it all in her panties and treated them all like friends before she announced the truth. Her soulmates were just too attractive, her eyes darted to MinJae. Yup, way too attractive. No, no. Those were just excuses. She was at fault. Her expression fell as she slapped her hand to her cheeks.

Damn it!

"Stop, stop." MinJae chuckled, taking her hand away from her head to rub her reddening forehead tenderly. "They are definitely not angry at you, at all. In fact, they are worried that you're angry at them."

His words shocked her and Amber looked at him, feeling a little confused. She could understand if JieMi or Ezra felt that way, having been absolute assholes to her, but all of them? That was a little too much, wasn't it? Oliver and Casper did absolutely nothing wrong!

"They are?" She furrowed her brows. He wasn't just saying that to make her feel better, right?

"Yeah, they think they could have had better control of the situation." MinJae replied with a quick nod. Then he sighed giving her a sad smile. " Personally, I was afraid that you would hate me."

"Hate is such a strong word." She said, shaking her head to his words. "Of course, I would never hate you. Any of you." She shot him a look. "I would never hate you."

"But, I wasn't exactly the nicest..."

"That's because you didn't know!" She told him vehemently. It wasn't really his fault. If anything, she was the one at fault, having made things worse. "I knew and I fucked up!"

"It's okay, I'm serious, Amber." He rubbed her back gently. "None of us blame you for the things you did."

"Really?" She pursed her lips together.

It was a tad difficult to believe, seeing how violently they reacted to the situation in the dormitory. Some part of Amber even considered the fact that they might decide that they didn't want her and thus form some kind of contingency plan to keep her by their side, just to ensure a stable soulmate bond, but out of their sight at all times. Then her mind reminded her of what she had overheard while she had pretended to be asleep in Sieon's arms. On a second thought, maybe MinJae was right.
