When Jessica started travelling without her little sister, they started writing letters to each other to bridge the gap so that neither felt as lonely. The words were tangible and real, the handwritten thoughts had pieces of each sister’s world and thoughts. There are times that Krystal still feels like her sister is thousands of miles away even though they belong to the same company now, and in these moments when she needs the comfort of the days when Jessica spent hours writing letters to her about everything that was happening, good, bad or insignificant, she still takes out these letters.
It is because of this tradition that Krystal began writing Amber letters almost as soon as she started missing the girl’s dorky laugh and random choices of American music. The other girls weren’t really that interested in the letters, Victoria skyped with her Chinese friends, Sulli preferred emails while Luna gabbed on the phone.
Incessantly.
For hours.
So it was Krystal that sent letters once every week, letters that brought the two closer while Amber was away. Letters that reminded Amber of what she had waiting for her back in Korea, but not quite enough for her to really miss it over the comfort of the music, city, friends, and freedom that she grew up with. Not to mention her family.
So she laughed at Krystal’s neat, English and sometimes Korean words as she vented, shared something that puzzled her, or confessed something that made her happy but was too afraid to tell the others because they might mock her. Krystal was odd like that.
Amber wrote back, of course. Telling her of all the antics her and her friends got into, her mom’s cooking, and how she had been taking classes on “Sexy 101” bragging that she could dance even sexier than Krystal. They talk like Jessica and Krystal always did, as if they didn’t miss each other, like they weren’t sure when they were going to one another again.
Like this whole thing was planned.
Whenever Luna gets on the phone with Amber she always asks her excitedly about when she is coming back, and at these moments the others would share a look that those have been in this industry too long understand too well.
Krystal has become a bit famous around SME for these letters, mostly because she always keeps the small notebook that she writes them in with her, and can be seen writing in it between rehearsal, lessons, or any other spare moment. Sometimes the other idols who also miss Amber will jot down random notes or drawings in them, so a serious story of Krystal’s will be interrupted by a drawing of one of Heechul’s cats.
All these things, Amber is use to, in fact, she looks forward to them. She calls of her closer friends at SME at least once every other week, and sends them random messages when things happen that she thinks they would be interested in. So it wasn’t like she cut off all contact with her idol life, and because she didn’t, no one seemed to worry about the possibility of her not coming back as much as they might’ve, had she not gone out of the way to contact them.
Jinki though…
Jinki was always a little special. She was always careful before she called him, because she believed he was too busy for his own good (healthwise) and didn’t want to disturb him during rehearsal or when he actually got to sleep. So she planned, or he called her, and their talks started out short because in person their conversations had often come natural because they were laughing, and relishing in their mutual dorkiness, the funny accents and the random stumbles the two would take when going to get tea or lunch together. On the phone though, the things they had in common seemed to fade and their conversations were a bit awkward because of how different they are.
But, over the five months she had been gone, they realized they were more alike than anyone, including themselves, realized. Amber became Jinki’s small oasis from the chaos that is his idol life, because she didn’t treat him like he was a famous idol, or like he is the clumsy, shy, disorganized Shinee Leader. She just treated him like Jinki; the singer with a heart too big for his chosen career.
He respected her too, and never thought she was incapable of anything. He never talked down to her, for being foreign and lacking in good language skills. Never teased her for her inability to dance sexily, or her boyish looks. He even asked her for advice sometimes, and he called her when he couldn’t get to sleep because she calmed him down. Amber is just so real that he isn’t really surprised that she stays in California for so long.
But he is surprised when she stays a long as she does.
Though not as surprised as Amber is when a small note falls from her usual letter from Krystal, and in oddly neat handwriting, is just one sentence; Amber, we miss you, let this be your home too and come back to us, our family isn’t the same without you.
It isn’t signed, but she’s pretty sure she knows who it is anyway. So she calls him, discarding her usual thoughtful process before ringing up the older idol.
“Hello, I was wondering when you would call.” His voice was calm, and comforting as ever, “I thought we weren’t talking about me coming back, and besides, “ She was struggling to gain some kind of normality, because Jinki writing those words to her felt like a slap in the face and she wasn’t sure why, “That kind of serious stuff isn’t like you Jinki.” She teased him, because God knows it was true, Jinki was never much one for poetry.
He laughs, and she relaxes involuntarily, “You’re right, fine, Amber Liu, there is a void in my heart that not even chicken fill, so please come home.” She feels her heart skip a beat, it aches and for the first time she really misses Korea. Her throat hurts and feels like its clogged and she blinks her eyes several times before laughing, “I miss you too Jinki, I miss everyone.”
