Krystal POV
The event is getting closer, everyday I practice the song with Jiyoung and Amber of course, but up until me and Amber are still awkward about the kiss scene. For the first time, Jiyoung said ‘it’s okay, we need more time to build your chemistry’, but yesterday she told to me and Amber with serious look that we need to build our chemistry seriously.
So here we are, in musical room.
“So guys”, it’s Jiyoung, “in the end of the song, Krystal will play the solo piano, full of emotion, pour your feeling and your emotion, Krys. And then, you, Amber, you’ll say ‘Sing, my angel of music!’. You should say it loud, after that, you walk toward Krystal, you kiss her, and then you’ll go leave her alone. Got it?”
Amber and I take a glance at each other, we nod then.
“Okay, do it now”
We play the song then. I play the intro of the song. I close my eyes, trying to feel the song. It works, I can play the song with all my heart, I can sing the song with all my heart. And then I hear the sound of guitar, Amber’s playing her guitar, a couple of moment later I can hear her voice. Her voice is like a sting of electricity for me. I’m still shocked by it.
Finally we reach the last part of the song. I play the solo piano.
“Sing my angel!! Sing! Sing My angel of music!!”, Amber say it loudly. Afterwards I see she’s walking toward me. And my heart is beating faster. I can’t concentrate anymore, no! Krystal, don’t mind her! Just play the piano!
Suddenly I can feel her hand is touching my chin, she lifts my chin, and……………….
“God, I can’t do this”, Amber remove her hand from my chin.
Jiyoung sighs, “I thought you got the chemistry, Amber”
“I’m sorry. But it’s really awkward for me to kiss my own best friend”, Amber say it frankly.
Jiyoung shows her poker face, “So?”
Suddenly something appears in my mind.
“Hey Josephine, come here”, I say.
Amber looks at me.
“Come here”, I say again.
Amber comes to me then.
“Look. When you kiss me, put your thumb on my lips first, afterwards you kiss your own thumb, so your lips won’t touch mine, but it looks like you’re really kissing me. Got it?”
“Clever one!”, Jiyoung shouts happily.
Amber’s just staring at me.
“Come on, don’t be so awkward, you’re still my Josephine, my best friend, kay?”, I’m pretending like I’m okay, honestly I do feel awkward too.
Amber shows her smile a little.
“Come on, let’s try it first”, say Jiyoung.
Amber stares at me, asking for my permission. So I nod.
Amber puts her thumb on my lips, just like what I told her before. Honestly, I’m still feeling awkward that she’s touching my lips, but I’m pretending to be okay. I see amber’s leaning toward me, I close my eyes, seriously, I think I can’t feel the beat of my heart anymore. Now I can feel Amber’s breathe, I think she’s kissing her thumb already.
