“aisy, you both stop it. not good to fight in front of food.” Eunjung mock jiyeon before focus on her food again. “princess, jiyeon, its been a week already. How long you want to sulking? They call me everyday asking did you girls ok or not.” “why  did they? They meet us everyday since we have schedule together.” Jiyeon say without changing her attention from the food. “its because you didn’t talk to them pabo.” “but we talk to each other. Can they see that we are ok by that?” eunjung reply her. “just forgive them girls. Its not good to be like this. How if the reporter know about this? Can’t you learn from what happen before?” her mother nag them.

Eunjung stop eating. She look up. “i’m full. Jiyeon if you are done, lets go. We’re late.” Eunjung say walk away. “unnie wae?

“princess.” Eunjung ignore it. “princess, omma talking to you. Its rude to ignore me like that.” Eunjung put the plate away before turn to face her. “what now omma? What is it you want to say now? Why i didn’t learn from what happen before? Why did it happen repeatedly? Don’t i know it affect our teamwork?” eunjung say looking deep inside her eyes. Her mother sigh. “omma, mian if omma hurt you with y word. Its not my attention princess, i just want you to realise what you need to realise dear.” “i don’t know omma. I don’t understand why you need to bring it up everytime. Why did you need to remind me on those bad memory of ours? Wae omma? Wae?”
