"I am Woo Hanbyul, Master Myung. The Earth Maiden." - Woo Hanbyul

"Yah! Don't go!" Rose tugged at Hoya's sleeves.

"ANDWE!! And let me go!!" Hoya tried to forcefully release himself from Rose's grip. When he finally succeeded in doing so, he took off for university.  Footsteps were following his in close pursuit and he turned back, seeing Rose chasing after him relentlessly. Her face was tinted with sadness but he didn't let it get to him. He continued running

Rose's now alone. She saw Hoya's silhouette running faster, further away from her. Memories of her former master resurfaced, like a single ripple affecting the whole puddle of water. Dejected, Rose walked back in and closed the door, her back leaning on it as she fell onto the floor

"Don't worry Rose, he won't leave me. He isn't her." She comforted herself.

"Earth Maiden? What's that?" Myungsoo felt the need to know.

Hanbyul really wanted to tell Myungsoo more about her, but yet, she didn't want to reveal her past. Turning around, Myungsoo saw that it was already 7:30 AM and he was late.

"Oh my God! I must go now!!" Myungsoo stood up and left, closing the door behind him.

Hanbyul was somewhat delirious and couldn't find it in her to stop him, even if she wanted to. She couldn't. She want to chase Myungsoo but her legs even hurt to move and soon, she decided to sleep again. Suddenly, a letter appeared by the bed and Hanbyul read it, brows creasing.

To : Woo Hanbyul

I am an Element Maiden who has finally come to earth. Let's have a duel. But, only until after I get a master.

From  : The Element Maiden

Hanbyul disregarded it and put the letter on the table before going back to sleep. Back to her own B-Field.

Finally, Hoya arrived at university's gate. He quickly dashed in before it closed and he was safe. Hearing the pounding of heavy footsteps behind, Hoya turned around and saw Myungsoo running into the university right at the last second.

Myungsoo saw Hoya and went up to him, a greeting already on his tongue.

"Hoya hyung."

"Ah, Myungsoo. It's rare to see you late." Hoya commented.

"Oh, really?" was his only cold reply

Something shiny in Myungsoo's hand caught Hoya's attention and the latter Hoya saw at Myungsoo's ring finger. There was an emerald ring. The shape was same with Hoya, the different just in colour. Hoya was wondering what it was mean. He must asked Rose now.

"Myungsoo, I must go to my class now!" Hoya ran away from Myungsoo.

Myungsoo wondered about Hoya. Hoya took his handphone from his bag. He pressed his house's telephone number and called Rose.

Rose watched the rerun of the famous anime 'Detective Conan'. She found herself blushing because of how handsome and cute Conan was. His glasses only enhanced his cuteness.

"C'mon Conan. You must solve the murder!" Rose muttered, to herself.

Suddenly, the telephone was rang and Rose felt too lazy to pick it but she remembered Hoya's warning - to pick up phone when he wasn't around and reluctantly, she listened.

Phone Conversation Rose = Red, Hoya = Purple

"Yeobseo?"

"Rose!!"

"What is it, Hoya? You're disturbing me."

"Well, sorry for disturbing then. I want to ask you something important."

"What is it?"

"Are there any maidens besides you?"

"I think, I ever told you."

"Ooops, I think I forget about that."

"So?"

"My dongsaeng has a ring similar to mine. The ring that bound us when we contracted, but he has the green one."

'Green? Is that her?' Hanbyul couldn't help but wonder.

"Oh, I see. Okay, and don't call me again."

Rose hung up on him.

"Geez, that girl!" Hoya pouted slightly before putting his handphone back in his pocket, then walking off.

Rose finally knew if Hanbyul already came back.

"Ah, I should probably give her a visit, or start the game."
