"Please take me back."

Suho's voice was still ringing in her ears as Min Jung worked on her sharpener half-heartedly. Suho had came back from Russia. He had came back from Russia to look for her. And deep down in her heart, she knew, she loved him still, because every time she the thought of leaving him hurt her, tearing her heart down brick by brick. She wanted him back, so badly.

But what about all those humiliation? She couldn't just move on and forget it. She was a student, heading for graduation, but he was already an owner of a big company in Seoul. His mother's voice was still ringing by her ears. She sighed in frustration and banged her fist on the table.

"Yah, Min Jung-ah, are you okay? Are you sick of your pencil being long and slim? Or are you trying to use your pencil to kill stab someone?" Chandra sounded from beside her, and immediately, after muttering a "huh", she realized she had left her pencil on the electronic sharpener and it kept on sharpening, and of course, shortening her pencil.

She immediately scrambled to pull out her poor pencil.

"Min Jung, something you wanna tell me?" Chandra asked, narrowing her eyes. Min Jung sighed before settling her pencil down onto her scrap book.

"What makes you said that?" Min Jung asked Chandra.

"Well, let's see...you called me to cancel our project yesterday, then after leaving me devastated with no partner at all, you called up again one hour later to say that you're in again. Not to mention that you nearly tore a few library books and you clearly have something for your pencil until you decided to sabotage it," Chandra rambled on and earned a glare from Min Jung.

"I-I met Suho yesterday..." Min Jung sighed.

"What? I thought he went off to study in Russia after his evil witch mother humiliated you," Chandra said.

"He, uh, ask me to take him back..." Min Jung ignored Chandra's statement and went on. Chandra widened her eyes.

"After what his mother did to you?"

"Yeah," Min Jung said, avoiding eye contact with Chandra.

"MJ, you can't be considering this," Chandra said, "okay, I admit, he's a great guy, he loves you, but his mother! Do you think she'll actually tolerate with you? Or can you really tolerate with her?"

"I don't know, Chandra, it's just...I still love him, and he was my first love...there's no one else that had made me feel this way until now..." Min Jung muttered, and Chandra sighed with a hopeless expression.

"You need a change of an environment, come on, let's go, let's get out of here," Chandra said pulling Min Jung up.

"Where are we going?" Min Jung asked with an aware expression on her face.

"To Joanna and the jerk Kris' café, you need to open your mind and see things the other way," Chandra said.

"Since when did you become so close with the jerk who shoved you?" Min Jung raised her eyebrow.

"Since the day I know his sister, now hush."

"Ta-da!" the old and ragged white cloth came off finally, and black lines appeared above the heads of Joanna, Kris and Abby as they finally realized what was underneath. Abby stared at Kai like he was some kind of criminal.

"A coffee machine, Kai?" Abby hissed, narrowing her eyes and Kai gulped. "You spent days hacking into my bank account, stole a mass amount of money, and then went around my back like a sneaky mouse with screwdrivers and toolboxes everyday, just to fix this coffee machine?"
