Not so perfect, after all (1/1)

When SM's CEO, Lee Sooman, called a surprise meeting for every single SM artist in their largest practice room, he should have guessed they would all converse amongst each other rather loudly. Amber Liu, being the social butterfly she is, was one of the prime members participating in the talking. Amber paraded through the large throngs of people, greeting her sunbaes. Amber, being able to speak 3 different languages, happily greeted everyone according to their respective languages. She happily conversed with Zhoumi, Lay, Luhan and Tao in somewhat broken Chinese. Feeling embarrassed, she waved goodbye to SM's one and only Chinese F4, as she liked to call them. She made her way towards her two Dino siblings. She saw her boyfriend, but decided to ignore him for a while because he was late for 3 of their dates and he stood her up on the last one. "Hey, Amber!" Donghae said, with a goofy grin. Jonghyun waved at her, large smile on his face. Minho, who had seen Amber make her way to his favorite hyungs, decided to make his way to her as well. "Oh, Amber~" he called out, "Amber neun~" he sang. She laughed, "Llama go." "Llama neun," he continued. "Amber da," "Amber," "Llama," "Llama," "Amber" "Llama," "Seh tae!" she finished, causing the two of them to laugh. Minho teasingly ruffled her short hair as Jonghyun and Donghae shared a look. "Aigoo, our Amber is so cute," Minho teased, "like a llama!" "Aish, oppa." She whined. Jonghyun and Donghae both looked at Amber's glowering boyfriend. "Amber!" a voice called out before Jonghyun could inform her of her boyfriend. Amber searched for the owner of the familiar voice and found him at the other side of the room, conversing, probably in English, with Kris and Key. She tried to pass through the throngs of people, stopping only to hug Kyuhyun, Kangin and Chen. Finally reaching Henry, she ruffled his hair. "Hey guys." "Hey Josephine," Kris teased. She turned to Henry. "Liu Xianhua! You said you wouldn't tell Yifan my middle name!" He rolled his eyes as he threw his arm around her. "Liu Yiyun! You revealed it on Amazing F(x)!" Kai was fuming by now. Kris sent Henry a look and Henry smirked, knowing Kai was making his way over. "So, Yiyun, you should have gone out with me when I asked you out back in our trainee days." "What on earth are you talking about, Xian--" "Hyung, I don't think my girlfriend likes dating grandpas." he said, rather spitefully. Amber rolled her eyes, Kai's always jealous. Though she would never admit it, she secretly loved it when he was jealous. Henry laughed, "Kidding, Jongin. We all know she's yours." "Kim Jongin," she lightly scolded, still a bit mad, "Don't be so mean to my oppa. And, I'm not your property, I'm a human." He kissed her cheek to soften her up and grabbed her hand. Before she could protest about the skinship, Lee Sooman walked in. "Listen everyone! I've been very proud of all of you, and to build stronger relationships between the entire family, I've decided to send all of you on a one week MT!" The crowd of idols cheered. "Alright, you leave in 2 days! For more details, send up your group leaders in 5 minutes." Suho came up to the couple. "Okay, Kris and I are about to go up, but Kai, remember we have a quick practice right now. So, you two lovebirds better break it up," he teased. Kai sighed but nodded. He leaned in to kiss her, but she turned around and tried to push him out of the room. "Bye," she said, "I've got to pack!" Kai, once again, failed to read the environment, and called out, rather loudly. "Don't forget to pack a bikini!" Amber flushed as the whole room turned to look at them. But, before Kai could leave, her beloved, protective, oppas stepped up. Jonghyun and Donghae grabbed both his arms, Kyuhyun and Kris grabbed the back of his collar and the ever so cute Henry, stood menacingly in front of her usually charismatic boyfriend, who was now slightly cowering to her oppas. "What did you say, kid?" Henry questioned, eyebrows raised. "Nothing, hyung... babe..?" he squeaked, "Little help?" "Bye, babe!" she mimicked as she laughed. "Noona..?" he said, rather cutely. Amber laughed louder and ran away. "Babe," Kai cooed into his phone, "I don't know how I'm going to sleep when you're not in the bed too!" Amber rolled her eyes but smiled slightly. Before she could answer, Kris spoke loudly. "Yah, what did you just say?" "Nothing, hyung... Hey, babe, I miss you so much." Kai said into the phone. Amber faked a barf into the phone. "Jongin, you're greasiness repulses me." She could practically hear his pout. "Noona~" he whined. "Jongin, I'm in the van right behind yours. We've also arrived so I'll see you in like 2 minutes." "Two minutes too long," he replied before she hung up. Amber attempted to pull out her heavy suitcases from the trunk of the van, with her boyfriend standing behind her. "Hey, um, Jongin, can you help me wi--" "Oh my gosh, babe, I'm going to be on Running Man next week!" "That's great, but could you help me wit--" "Oh, I think you are too!" Kai said, excitedly looking at his phone. Amber sighed. "Yahhh!"Kris chuckled, "I got it, Am." She smiled gratefully at him, "Thanks, bro" "Babe," Kai started, "why are you smiling at hyung like that? And, what were you saying?" She sighed. "Nothing, Jongin." He shrugged and put an arm around her shoulders. "Okay," Lee Sooman called out, "Girls in one pension, boys in the other two since there's more boys. Now, we need to decide the shopping team and the cooking team. Play the 5 finger truth game, go!" After the game, it was decided that Kai and Amber were on the cooking team."Bye, Jongin, I'll see you at dinner." Amber said, teasingly as she ruffled his hair. After 30 minutes of small talk with some members of SNSD, Suju, Shinee, EXO and F(x), the boys decided to play some soccer while they waited. The girls sat in a circle in their living room. "What should we do?" Amber asked. "Let's just talk about boys." Hyoyeon laughed, "I mean, that's what normal girls do, right?" Amber blushed as the rest of the girls chattered. "Well, I guess I'll start," Hyoyeon said, "I think I may have a small, itsy-bitsy little crush on Eunhyuk." Krystal cheered. "Yeah, unnie! I knew it!" "Yah, what about you, Krystal?" Yuri teased. "We all know that you have a crush on Chanyeol." Krystal blushed. "Unnie!" They giggled. "But he has something that makes we wonder why I like him." "What do you mean?" Amber asked, interested. "I mean, Chanyeol oppa's really nice and funny, but don't you think he's a little over the top in the optimism and happiness?"  "Yeah, I get what you mean," Hyoyeon added, "Hyuk oppa is kinda stingy sometimes." "What about that boyfriend of yours, Yiyun?" Victoria asked. Amber gave her a nervous glance. She gulped. "Jongin..." At the same time, Kai began to walk into the house to grab some drinks for his hyungs. He stood by the door, listening, when he heard his name. "Jongin is great." Kai smiled, proud of himself. "Come on, Am. Kai's 19; he's young." Taeyeon commented. Amber sighed. "Jongin is kind of immature sometimes, but he's still young so I don't blame him. Sometimes I wonder what he did to make me fall for him," she said, laughing a bit. Kai smiled again, happy to hear his girlfriend still loved him. "He's a great boyfriend, but recently, he's hasn't really been that awesome. He's been late for 3 dates and he stood me up on last week's. He hasn't completely apologized for that yet. He's selfish and insensitive at times, too. Like when he doesn't think before speaking or when he doesn't read the environment. He's also kinda greasy." She laughed.  Kai looked at the ground, defeated. Right as he walked away, Amber smiled brightly. "But I think that's why I like him so much. It's part of his charm." Kai trudged back to the grass where he was greeted by Kris. "Where's the water?" "Hyung..." he looked up, "Am I a bad boyfriend?" "Jongin, you aren't bad a lot of the time, but judging about how sad Yiyun was last week when she called me to pick her up from the restaurant at 2 in the morning, I would say you haven't been good recently. And today, you totally ignored her. " "Really hyung? 2AM?" Jongin asked, wide-eyed. "Was she crying?" "Not in front of me. Yiyun doesn't like to cry in front of us, you know? Has she ever cried in front of you?" "I've only seen a tear fall because she was upset her previous boyfriend dated her to get to Krystal. She was feeling terrible. That's why she swore off younger men." Jongin replied, remembering the moment that made him realize how hard he had fallen for her. "Well, there you go. Don't make her swear off men altogether, Jongin." Kris said, tapping his shoulder."I think I know what to do to make it up to her." Jongin said, getting up. Jongin threw another rock at the window, towel in hand. Finally, the girl he was waiting for, opened up the window. "Kim Jongin!" Amber whispered loudly. "What on Earth are you doing? It's 1AM!" "Babe, come out here!" she groaned but came down, nonetheless. He kissed her cheek. "Let's go swimming." "Kim Jongin, you woke me up at 1AM to tell me you want to go swimming?!?!" "Yes! Now go change." She rolled her eyes. "Alright. Be good.""No promises, babe." he grinned at her. "Wait!" she turned around. "Can I help you?" "Kim Jongin! I'm totally telling your favorite protective hyungs that you said that!" she said as she shut the front door. Kai gulped. "You don't need to, Ber." Kyuhyun commented, narrowing his eyes at the boy. "We know." "Hyungs, go hide." Kai whispered when he heard shuffling. Amber emerged in a tight tank top and cotton shorts. Kai couldn't stop himself from drooling. "You look great, noona." She rolled her eyes, trying to suppress her smile. "Hurry up, big guy. Let's go swimming." "Alright." He said smiling as she dragged his hand. "Why didn't you bring a bikini, though?" She shot him a death glare. "don't push it, bro." "Okay, okay." he said as he pulled her back. As he turned her around, he wrapped his arms around her and kissed her head. "Look, noona," "Jongin, can I say something first?" he nodded. "I know I'm not anywhere near your ideal type, but--" "No, you're completely my type. Correction, my type is you. Only you." "Greasy much, Jongin?" she said, chuckling. "Sorry, noona. I know I'm not the best boyfriend, especially recently. I'm really sorry about last week. I should have called you. Kris hyung told me you called him. Why didn't you call me?" She sighed. "I guess I knew that if I called you, I would be really sad. I might have even cried. And I don't like to cry." "You know it's okay to cry once in a while," she nodded. "I'm also really sorry I'm insensitive and immature. I can fix that!" She chuckled. "I see you heard our private conversation." he looked sheepishly at the ground. "But, I guess you didn't hear all of it." He looked up gratefully. "I said those factors were part of your charm. I wondered what potion you gave me to fall for you, little boy." "Noona~" he whined. He cleared his throat, "I'm a man." "sure you are." she chuckled, punching his shoulder lightly. "And, as a man," he said pulling something from his shorts pocket, when they reached the poolside. "I wanted to give you this." he handed her a box. She looked surprised as she opened the box. "I was supposed to give you this next week on our 1 year anniversary, but I thought it would be better now." She pulled out the silver necklace and gasped. "It's beautiful." "One for you, one for me." he said, kissing her temple. "I love it." she said, pulling him into a tight hug. suddenly, the two of them both fell into the pool. The got up in shock, only to hear a bunch of laughter. "You guys are so cute!" Luhan gushed. Everyone laughed. "But," Henry started. "if," Jonghyun continued. "you," Donghae said. "dare," Kris said, menacingly. "hurt," Kyuhyun continued "her," Chanyeol said. "You're going to get it from all of us." they finished together. Amber laughed loudly at Kai's frightened demeanor. She snorted. "Well, that was cute." he teased. "Shut up, kid" she said, pushing him deeper into the water. The rest of the SM artists jumped into the pool as well. Amongst all the noise and splashing, Kai managed to capture her lips and whisper a quick, "I love you." OMG guys, I wrote half of this and I accidentally deleted it! Ughhhh. So I had to do it allllll over again. Sigh. But I think it got a bit out of hand. LOL i wrote so much, it could be a novel.
