"It's been what, a week? Aren't you really going to talk about it, Eunha?"

"Not now Yuna, please. I don't have the energy for this."

Yuju could just breathe a sigh at the bull head that is Eunha right now. It is as clear as day just how miserable the girl has been for the past few days not to mention that her other half was also in the same misery.

"Are you really breaking up?"

"Yuna!" Eunha didn't even try to hide her annoyance as she's sensitive enough about the topic. "Please, I need my mind to work."

"I'm sorry," the main vocal replied defeated as she slowly got off her seat.

One week, a couple encouraging words from her members and maybe some nagging from Yerin was not enough for Sowon to prepare her from the impending heartache of losing someone for good.

"W-what should I do to h-have an-other chance?" she asked once again with a desperate plea.

"Give me the freedom I need. That's all." Eunha instantly dismissed herself from the kitchen leaving the older to bite at her hand in a futile attempt to suppress her cries.
