-CHAPTER 14-

-6 Months Later-

Amber POV:

~UPDATE~

Well, everything is going good here. I am working on a new solo comeback album. I have started working on my songs alone, without the help of others but sometimes they help me when I need it. I also got my own Instagram account, separate from the Stray Kids one and I have been posting selca after selca and sometimes info on my solo comebacks. I have to work till really late but always manage to make it home in time.

Recently, Channie oppa came home and started going crazy over this girl he saw. Turns out he asked her out, she said yes, they went on dates and now are officially dating! Honestly I think Minji unnie is the perfect match for Channie oppa because she manages to help him when he is stressed and all that. She is a lawyer student and sometimes she gets stressed too but he always helps her as well. They act REALLY lovey-dovey all the time and sometimes it grosses us out. It isn't out to stay yet because Minji unnie isn't ready for it but the company is letting them take their time till she is comfortable with it. 

It has been 4 months since they started dating. I hope nothing goes wrong in their relationship. 

It is also my birthday month. Honestly I never really get excited for my birthday but this time I am because I'm gonna be 18! Finally not gonna be called a baby by the members. Channie oppa, Binnie oppa and Jinnie oppa are fake crying every time they see me because I am gonna turn 18 and honestly, it is fun to watch.

~UPDATE END~

Today started off like any other day. My alarm rang, I sat in my bed doing absolutely nothing while all my members were sleep- wait, there's no one here? I guess they actually woke up on time for once. I went to the washroom to get washed up and then changed into black joggers, a white full sleeve t-shirt and my usual accessories.

I decided to get the rest of my stuff after eating and left the room. "Good morning!" I said walking into the hall to see everyone eating. No response that's weir- "Good morning? GOOD morning is what you say after what you've done!?" Channie oppa said. Okay, well that's one response. "What do you mean? I didn't do anything other than sleep..unless that bothered you" I replied back, confused. What did I do though? I did nothing wrong. "Don't act innocent! What is this!? Huh! Try to answer me now!" he yelled, showing me his phone screen. 

It was my Instagram account with a new post. It had a black background and in white it was written 'Congrats to..........Chan oppa and Minji unnie.........for their relationship! Go follow                                  @ Min_to_the_Ji'..it took a while to sink in. "What the hell is this?" I asked them. "Don't act Amber! We know you did this but now you're too scared to admit it!" Channie oppa never yelled and I flinched at how loud he yelled. I saw Minji unnie sitting there as well and she looked mad. "I didn't do this! I was filming one of my mvs yesterday! I didn't even have the damn phone! My phone was with some trainees who were supposed to watch how an mv is filmed so they know when they debut! I only got my phone in the night when I was coming back here! Why would I do this!? I know she didn't want it to be revealed yet and I wouldn't do it unless I was allowed to!" I snapped back at the fact he didn't believe me. I looked at the other members and they were all clearly on his side considering their faces. "Wow! All those years of knowing all of you, trusting all of you, defending all of you, you can't do that for me. This is what so many years of knowing each other equals to..I get it. Bye" I said and just went into my room. 

I put the usual stuff I put in my practice bag and left the room, put on my shoes and left the house. I didn't want to eat with them. Not after the fact they didn't believe me.

I went to a nearby café and got some breakfast to have enough energy. I knew I'd be busy today because my schedule was packed. Luckily today I had no Stray Kids related schedule since I would be busy with my solo comeback.

I started filming for 1 mv and am still writing for the others in my album. I have mv filming too today so we'll see how that goes.

I paid and then left the café and went straight to the company and just as I expected, I was called to JYP-nim's office. I knew I would have to explain it to him.

-20 minutes later-

I can't believe even he didn't believe me! I was in middle of a shoot when that was posted. Even the staff said that! They said that I was filming and wasn't holding my phone around that time! But still no one believes me, obviously just as everything become better something needs to come in the way and ruin everything.

I went into my practice room and practiced my dance for my current mv filming since today we are doing most of the dance related shots. I needed to get it perfect. I just pushed what happened at the dorm to the back of my mind and started dancing. 

I filmed myself and saw where I was going wrong, somewhere I wasn't adding enough energy or my leg wasn't in the right place or the timing was a bit out of place or there was something with the choreography, I fixed it all.

-2 hours later-

I was in my break from the shoot and instead of sitting around doing nothing I decided to work on my songs and get them over with as fast as possible. I had my headphones on, the beats playing, the breeze hitting my face and my hair flowing with the wind, with my lyric book in hand trying to think of lyrics when I got a call.

It was from JYP-nim. I answered:

(Amber

JYP)

Hello.

Hello. I wanted to inform you that on 20th of October you need to fly to New York for a solo concerts after your album is complete. And yes that means your comeback due date is preponed to 17th. After that you need to perform on music bank on 18th attend interviews on 19th and then you will fly with your staff to New York on 20th.

But-

No buts. You have a lot of expectations from your fans for this album so I suggest you do it well. I will now leave you to finish your filming. Goodbye.

The call cut. What the hell? It's impossible to release a comeback that fast! It's 7th and I'm not even done with 1 mv!? I need to pick up the pace! I tried to brainstorm lyrics as fast as I could and think of how to sing it while I made the lyrics. 

I informed the staff on the sudden prepone of my comeback and we immediately started working on the mv shoots. 

I got back to the company really late since my mv included a lot of night shots. I went into my studio to work on the songs. I really needed to cram now. I started trying to sing the 2nd song in different ways till I found one that perfectly fit with the beat and lyrics. I tried improving it wherever needed and when it sounded right, I went to the recording studio and starting recording it. This song's lyrics were already half-done by today morning since I worked on it the previous days but the rest of the songs still needed to be either started or finished. 

After I recorded I went back to my studio and started to work on the beats for other songs as well. I knew I might have to pull an all-nighter.
