There you go still in Krystal's POV.
--------------

"Dad!!" I ran to Amber who is docking behind the dining table. Dad was trying to catch her I think judging from how his body is moving. Aunt Jessi was behind him yelling at him to stop.

"Krystal! This guy opened your door and I think he's a thief! Wearing boxers... " He looked at Amber from head to toe and to me. I suddenly got awkward and pulled the hem of my T-shirt down biting my lips.

I looked at Aunt Jessi and she was also looking at what I'm wearing then at Amber. Then it suddenly struck her.

"Oh my!! Taeyeon I think this is a bad time..." She said pulling Dad's arm but he didn't flinch.

"Sir I can explain... I mean A-atty. Jung I can explain.. I-i-i'm your daughter's---"

"Krystal.... At the living room now!!!!" Even though I'm already 25 and living alone I'm still afraid at my Dad. He doesn't get mad easily and doesn't raise his voice at home. He only does it inside the court. But from what's happening right now I think Dad is having a breakdown.

We followed him in the living room, Amber sticking beside me. Dad suddenly turned around startling us and eyed us again. "Put on some decent clothes first, you two and come out in a minute. Understand?!"

I nodded at him and pulled Amber to my room and shut the door. She was moving in a flash wearing her pants forgetting to zip it. I reached for a denim shorts and wore it then tying my hair into a ponytail. Amber was buttoning her linen shirt and I helped her. She was so nervous judging on how her hands tremble while buttoning it.

"Amber.... Look at me.. Am.." I cupped her face and make her look at me. "Relax Am... Come on baby.... Breathe.." she breathe in and out repeatedly then pouted at me with worry in her eyes. I buttoned her skinny pants and tuck the front of her linen shirt inside. I rolled the sleeves up to the middle of her arms.

"That was a bad first impression isn't it?" She said while I reach for a facial wipes and wipe her face with it to take away traces of fluids in there especially on her mouth. Gahd.

I brushed her hair with my fingers and I look at my masterpiece. Wow. Hot.

"Just listen to him and answer his questions with clear words. He doesn't like answers that doesn't have a point. And smile, don't worry baby I got your back." I winked at her and pulled her to the door. "Ready, Am?"

She smiled to me and nodded. We went out to the living room where Dad is seating on my beanie near the coffee table watching TV while Aunt Jessi is on the kitchen preparing breakfast. She smiled at me and pointed at Dad.

"Hey Dad..." He turned to me then to Amber then snickered. He's like a kid who got scolded for being naughty. Dad turned off the TV and motioned for the two of us to sit down on the couch while he stood up. Then he started his interrogation....On Amber.

"May I ask who are you young man to my daughter's life? As far as I know, my daughter doesn't have a boyfriend."

"Dad this is--"

"Krystal I'm talking to him." Dad cut me off and I just purse my lips. I looked at Aunt Jessi asking for help and she mouthed "just listen to him". Oh Gosh I don't wanna be late at work.

"S-sir my name is Amber Liu and I'm your daughter's girlfriend. And as far as I know too, your daughter doesn't have a boyfriend." Amber said without a pause. I heard Aunt Jessi giggled and I giggled too because Dad is literally killing Amber with his stares.

I saw him stopped from his tracks and looked at Aunt Jessi who was smirking at him then to me. Then to Amber with wide eyes, okay my Dad looked like an idiot right now.
