"She saw me on social media," Elly sighed. "Then she found me at a café I go to."

Elly eyes had pool of tears but they weren't falling. She refused to let them fall. Her mind was conflicted, she didn't know if she could trust Jooyeon but she was desperate for comfort from someone.

"I told her to fuck off and walked away from her," Elly closed her eyes making tears fall from her eyes. She breathed in a heavy sigh. "She followed me back to the apartment and Hyunsoo saw her."

"She had the fucking audacity to say that since she gave birth to us, we owed her." Elly's voice had gotten louder, her voice was full of anger and disgust. "Hyunsoo doesn't even know her! She left when she found a new family! She doesn't care, she probably just wants the fame and fortune."

"What's worse is that Hyunsoo believes that we should forgive her just because she gave birth to us," Elly shook her head and let out a dry laugh that filled the room with pain. "We don't owe her anything."

"I owe n-nothing," Elly stuttered out, her voice had begun shaking and the tears she had been holding back finally fell. She covered her face with her hands trying to cover her face. "I just want her to go away."

"I-I just want her to leave." Elly had cried out, she felt heart-broken over the situation. "I just want things to be okay now."

Jooyeon watched as the younger girl seemingly fell apart at the the seams. All she could do right now was to comfort her and be there for the younger girl.

Hyunsoo's hair was disheveled, he had bags under his eyes. His head lasted on the cafeteria table. His clothes were wrinkled he wore mismatch shoes and socks. It was as if he could care less about his appearance but yet didn't have the heart to not show up.

"Is he okay?" Yeorin asked Akihiro in Japanese, the latter shook his head as they both watched the boy in front of them. Hyunsoo just came in and payed his head on the table, not a word came from the boy's mouth.

The regular Hyunsoo would be cheerful and ready for any conversation but this Hyunsoo didn't even have the energy to raise his hand. His movements were sluggish and he could barely focus on any topic at hand.

"He's been like this ever since we started training," Akihiro frowned. "I don't like it. I want him to be happy again. I don't know what to do." Akihiro pouted at the elder boy, ever since they had did the dance practice with each other they had become friends in the short amount of time and it hurt to see his friend like this.

He had met Yeorin when they bumped into each other. Literally, both of them were in a rush to get to their practice room. They had become friends and eventually Yeorin had become another big sister to the young boy. Coincidentally, Yeorin's Japanese name was Aiko, the same as Akihiro's real sister. He was glad he had met someone who could speak the same as his mother tongue.

Hyunsoo let out a pained groan before lifting his head a bit to see the two other people at the table. They both looked at him with worried expressions and before he knew it, a tear had rolled down his cheek. "I want Elly," was all he said looking at the others, before more tears came rolling down. "I don't want my mother, I want Elly."
