Donghae, His Cousin Sungmin and Henry were walking back to the block where Henry parked the car, Then he suddenly decides to bring some food and visit His sister at the office just to surprise her for the day.
"You guys go ahead." DOnghae says as he stopped walking. "I think I mah get back and visit my lovely sister."
"Hyung~ like seriously you are leaving us." Henry complains
"Well if you wanna go that is perfectly fine with me" He tests Henry's guts of meeting his sister again in a teasing way "I bet Amber would be delighted to see her hamster boy"
"Yeah why not go with Donghae?" Sungmin adds
"No... Not now." Henry rejects the idea "I think i need to contact my dad. I haven’t reached him since I got here." He reasons
"If you say so..." Donghae tosses the car keys of his Audi A5 Coup and Henry caught it "I'll see you at home later."
"Okay" Henry uttered while Sungmin nodded in agreement
Donghae walked back to the direction where they came from earlier as Sungmin and Henry continued pacing to the car. Henry headed to the driver side while Sungmin on the passenger side. He pressed the button on the keys to unlock the doors and they both slid in.
Henry inserts the key in the ignition, started the car and drove off.
"So.. your dad is in Korea?" Sungmin curiously asked starting the conversation.
"Yes he lives here." Henry answered
"On business?" Sungmin asked again
"No. He's from here. He's Korean" Henry replied as he took the turn to the highway.
"Then why is your family name Lau instead of a Korean last name? Sorry I’m not being nosey or something.. Im just a bit curious." Sungmin smiled
"Well he and my mom never really was together I grew up in the States with my mom." Henry answered
"Sorry" Sungmin apologized sincerely "So... you never knew him personally?"
"Well.." Henry "I met him twice. and pretty much that's about it." He continued driving.

Donghae pushed the rustic wooden door of the shop . The chimes sounded signaling the staff of the shop that there is a new customer to serve. Immediately they welcomed him.
Amber was looking at the guy who just entered the store. She did not stop looking at him. He seemed very familiar, he felt very familiar even for her. Sungkyu got curious of who Amber was staring at so he looked back not knowing who the guy was he just smilingly asked the girl "Do you know him?"
Amber was sipping her coffee and still her eyes was fixated on the guy who is paying his purchase at the counter. Sungkyu again looked back. Amber suddenly stood up from her seat "Excuse me" she said.
"Okay..." was all Sungkyu can say. He was intrigued that Amber has been staring at that other boy since he entered the premises. a little concerned but ready for anything. He watched Amber as she walked towards the boy.
"Oppa!" She said and the guy looked surprised but happy to see her.
Donghae put his arm around the young lady "What are you doing here?" him pulling her closer to him "I was supposed to be bringing this to you in the office." he showed here the bag on his other hand
"Im with a friend." Amber says. "You wanna meet him"
"Sure... Is that him on that table?" He asked his sister because at first look he thought it was the boy who he was hanging out with just minutes ago. But when they walked nearer and nearer it was a different guy.. similar but different.
"Sungkyu this is my only brother Donghae." She smilingly introduced the younger to his brother. Sungkyu stood up and bowed respectfully to the older lad. Extended his hand and said "Nice to meet you."
"And Donghae Oppa this is my friend... Sungkyu" as Donghae returned the handshake. He has this hunches that this kid has intentions of being more than a friend to her beloved sister. His eyes gazed around and so he was convinced when he saw the well prepared doughnuts on the table Which amber was trying to divert his attention from when she introduced both men to each other. "So... How did you and my sister meet?" He knew that Amber never really made friends. well aside from Krystal and his friends that's about it.
"Im a client of hers." Sungkyu smiled.
"Oh.. I see." Donghae uttered. "So are you going to go back to the office? because I dont have my car with me so you may need to drive me home?"
Amber was surprised that Donghae is not driving his car. "Where is your car by the way. You love that thing more than me~" she teased
"No i dont I love you more that's why Im here and not have my car. Cant you see.." He laughed "I entrusted it with someone..."
"I think the dude has gained it so much huh?" Amber replied as she picked up her coffee and took another sip
"yeah.. I guess so. If i let him run off with my car I guess I trust him to run off with my sister too." Amber almost choked with what Donghae just blurted out. With Sungkyu standing next to her she did not want him to hear what her brother was saying.
"That's a joke right?" Amber asked next thing she did was punch his brother's biceps. "Owww~ have you been working out?" Amber feeling a little pain in her fist.
"What if I am serious?" Donghae jokingly said but amber knew her brother was being serious. She knew that he meant it even if it was said that way.
"Oppa, I have a friend with me will you stop it?" Amber pleads
Donghae liked how Sungkyu ended up a little uneasy "You like my sister?" He then asked straight to the point as he shifted his eyes to the younger boy. "i can tell. but i must tell you. She's my princess. If you know what I mean" Donghae warns him jokingly.

Henry and Sungmin got out of the car and headed in
"Im going to sleep..." Sungmin said leaving the younger behind.
"Sure.. I'll just hang in here for a bit..." He pulls out his cellphone from his pocket and called out to his dad.
The phone on the other end of the line started ringing so he waited for an answer. He has been tryin to reach him since he arrived but he has no luck. the phone was always unattended. He finally made it through and someone answered the phone. "Hello~" the person on the other line answered. Henry did not recognize the man's voice. "Hi, Im looking for Kim Young Duk?"
"He's sleeping right now. May i know who this is?" The person on the other line asked. "I'll tell him you called when he wakes up"
"Uhmmm..." Henry took a long time before he replied. He was thinking twice if he would give his name to the person and finally "I'm Henry.. Just tell him I called."
"Oh okay." he said. "uhmm---"
Henry hung up after saying his last word he never gave the other person on the other line to talk. He was really nervous. He thought it was his father's family that answered the phone. He feared that day of meeting them. He asked a lot of what if's. Reason why even if he lived in Korea for a long time he still made sure he never bumps into them or meets them. After all He is the illegitimate child. He will never win them over no matter what he does. So he thought

Sungmin woke up, He got out of bed and walked out of his room. He walks straight to the fridge grabbing the glass pitcher he headed to the counter, opened the white wooden cupboard and got his glass. He poured the water and started drinking. While he was in the middle of drinking water The door opened and Donghae entered. Another voice was heard makes Sungmin have and idea that Donghae was not alone.
"Im home..." Donghae said making everyone in the house hear that he has came. Henry was in his room just lying around in bed staring at the ceiling. He got up and headed for the door but when he heard the other voices He came to a halt. He opened listened to the voices talking in the living room and he knew. Amber was with her brother and cousin. He took a peek and his heart started pounding. There she is. Just a wall away from him. Smiling ,looking happy. He thought of letting her see him but no.. He still does not have the courage to do so. He has hurt her so much He does not want to see her cry today. She smiling. and he is happy that she is.
On the other side of the wall Amber looked at the door that suddenly shut. "Whoah that's scary.. Is someone in there?" She stood up and walked towards the door. Sungmin was a little tense. They knew that Amber is not yet ready to see the person hiding inside that room "Nope. Maybe its just the wind." Sungmin reasoned
"Are you guys hiding something?" Amber has a suspicion that its not only the four of them inside the house. "because I dont feel the wind blowing..."
"NO~!" Sungmin and Donghae said in unison
"Okay okay.. I get it no need to raise your voices. sheesh~" She reacted "If its a girl I dont care~ hahahaha" she joked "After all you are boys..."
Suddenly they heard a phone ringing inside the questioned room.
Henry on the other hand was sitting on the floor his back against the door. thinking of how torturing it is that he wants to hug her so tight but he just cant right now. His phone started ringin and he panickingly rushed to the ringing phone on the bed and pressed the answer button. "hello?"
Henry waited long before he heard the voice from the other line. "Dad?"

Amber and Krystal decided to pay the boys a visit. Krystal Dropped by Starbucks on the way to the Studio enough for 7 people. The Studio was looking awesome. They have finally started operations. Krysal and Amber went up a flight of stairs going up. And they opened the door. Sungjong was the one on the desk and he greeted them with a wide smile. Sungjong is a very cute kid. Sometimes his hyungs would have him dress up as a girl and let him dance from the famous girl groups in Korea. He's always game with it anyways. He makes them happy he is happy. "Hey guys~ what are you doing here?" he asked the two girls that just arrived.
"We are just visitin. oh we brought you these..." Amber shows 2 bags of Iced frappuccinos... "And this one is for you." Amber pulls one caramel frappe from the bag and handed it to the cute boy. "hey thanks! They are inside."
Both the girls headed inside the studio and the boys were just having fun dancing to an english RnB / HipHop song. They stood there not making a fuzz and watched their precise movement. "Wow I never knew they were this good." Amber whispers to Soojung.
"I know right~" Krystal was very proud of her boys. They were just so good. She has never seen them dance this good. She knew they are but seeing it made her fall for Myungsoo more.
Dongwoo noticed that they have spectators so he stopped and smiled at them through the mirror. Myungsoo then went straight to Krystal and gave her a sweet peck on the cheek, "what are you guys doing here?"
"Just visiting.." Kyrstal replied with a sweet smile. "we go somethings for you."
Woohyun took the bags from from Amber. "hey thanks."
"So... Where's Sungkyu?" Amber uttered
They all started to be rowdy. "Why are you looking for hyung?"
"Nothing... because he's not here." Amber replied acting uninterested.
"Really now?" Seungyeol asked teasingly
Amber started to feel warm in the face and started blushing. "What? He's my friend."
"Hyung has something important to go to." L answered smiling.
Krystal looked at her bestfriend smiling. She knew that concern has grown on Amber towards Sungkyu. Her plan with L succeeded. She knew that Amber is slowly opening up to people. Slowly Opening her heart again. :)
Amber's phone rings "Excuse me" she excused herself and answered the phone. "Hello?"

Donghae was driving his Silver Audi on the way to the office, With Henry beside him he called Amber through the loud speaker.
"Good Morning!!!" Donghae greeted cheerfully "So.. Hows my baby sister doing??"
"Im fine.." Amber said and henry hears their conversations since The older guy was on speaker. "And will stop calling me baby?"
"Why? is that dude with you?" DOnghae teasingly asked for Henry to hear and be threatened. "Well.. He's not here"
"What?!?!" he was mouthing the words "She has a boyfriend?!?!"
"Im on speakerphone dumb ass!" Donghae bouthed back "She can hear you"
"I thought he looked familiar when I first saw him." Donghae said.
"Uhmmm... Really?" Amber acting like she never realized that herself.
"Like someone from the past~" Donghae laughs
“What do you mean?” Amber resisting to what his older brother is trying to imply.
“He kinda reminds you of someone doesn’t he?” Donghae pushes.
“I have no Idea of what the heck you are talking about Oppa~”
“Tell me Amber do you still love Henry? Do you miss him? You can tell me.”
Amber was silent for a while. While the two boys waited for her reply. Especially Henry who was nerve wrecked for the silence. “Amber Please… Amber Please…” he mumbled
“Hey Sis, are you still there?” Donghae asked because She was not saying a word after his last question.
“Do I have to answer that?” Amber asked again she was silent…
.
.
.
“YES! A LOT”
the call disconnected after Amber said it.
Henry’s mind went blank after he heard that straight from her. He did not expect it. He thought that she did not care and totally forgot about him. His heart wanted to jump out of his chest and scream all the happiness it felt if only it can.
“Hyung! Did she say that she misses me?” He shook Donghae who was concentrating with driving “Did she?”
Donghae almost went to the opposite lane of the freeway “Damn you Henry Lau! Are you trying to fucking get us killed?” He shouted at the younger as he avoided the vehicle that almost clashed with theirs head to head. “Sheez kid~”

Donghae stopped in front of SNUH (Seoul National University Hospital) “Thanks Hyung! I’ll see yah later.
The big glass sliding door as Henry approached the entrance. As he walked across the lobby he saw a lot of different faces, Nurses wearing their perfectly white uniform pushing old people in their wheelchair. A mother chasing his sun running off while connected to dextrose. Doctor’s hurrying, walking with fast steps going to their next patient. He never liked being in a hospital. He just never enjoyed it.
He walks in the next elevator that opened and pressed the 8th floor. He waited…. And waited… and waited… It seemed forever until the door opened again for him, Stepping out of the lift he walk the long hallway until he reached the second to the last door on the left wing. He reached the room number 815. Henry took a deep breath. Reached for the door knob and turned it open.
