***

Running footsteps are heard in the silent street.

"Stop crying..." Amber raised her head up as she heard a familiar voice. It was from Suho who was smiling at her sadly.

"G-Go away.. I don't know you.." She whispered, loud enough for Suho to hear.  Suho sighed.

"Crying under the rain isn't a good thing at all. It will just make you sick." He said and pulled her in the nearest shed. They were both silent for a moment and Amber buried her face on her knees, preventing herself from sobbing loudly.

"About what you all said the earlier.." Suho started. "I didn't know you felt that way at all.. But one reason for sure is it all because we are handsome.." He added and chuckled awkwardly. Amber looked and glared at him as he showed a peace sign and scratched his neck. She buried her face back again on her knees. Prentending she's not interested at his story at all... But she was listening.

"The first time I saw you.. I know you are different. And I somehow knew you are connected to us.. because of Kris." He said. 

"Kris and I were like the parents of the group. We know each other well than other members know us. Nothing was really different, not until I always caught him smiling while looking at his phone, and as if he was trying to hold his laughter in. I asked him, 'Do you have a girlfriend?' and he just answered with a smile. Because of that, I started doubting he had a girlfriend and I tried to open his phone. When I did, I looked at the recent messages and saw your full name there, and I was astonished when I searched it up. You are a high-ranked police officer.. And that was when I started to stalk you almost everyday." He added and chuckled. Amber wiped her tears and looked at Suho who was looking afar, happiness clearly shown on his face. She was speechless. Stalk? What a word. An idol stalking her? For fans, she's the lucky one.

"I was so happy when I knew you are our assigned bodyguard, and I know Sehun was too. After all, he knew all along about you." He continued. "And Amber, after our talk that early morning, when you told me what you felt towards Kris... My feelings started to form for you. I don't know how exactly it happened." Suho finally looked at her straight in the eyes and held her hand. 

"There's one thing you need to know.."

"What?" She asked. He smiled at her sweetly as he kissed the tip of her hand, making her flinch.

"I like you, Amber."

Amber slowly opened her eyes as she felt something wet streaming down on her cheeks. She moved her fingers and touched her cheek, as her eyesight was still adjusting with the brightness.

She held her head, as she felt a throbbing pain. She shook her head and scratched her eyes, trying to scan the surroundings but it was all a blur.

She coughed as she felt her throat was itchy.

"She's awake! She's awake!" She heard her little sister's voice. Her eyesight finally adjusted and she can clearly see the surroundings.. and herself.

Her eyes widened as she saw a dextrose attached on her hand. She can smell the smell of medicines.. But why?

"W-What happened?" She asked, totally confused for she knows she wasn't caught in an accident ... after hearing Suho's confession...

"Y-You don't remember what happened? Eonni, do you still know me?" Janny said as she went near her and pointed unto herself.
