"Kamahalan, kailangan ka ng Oneiros. Kailangan na nating bumalik." 

"Ilang beses ko na bang sasabihin sa inyo na hinding hindi na ako babalik sa lugar na iyon?" 

"Pero ang Oneiros—" 

"Naroon si Amora. Hindi na nila ako kailangan." 

"Kailangan ka ng kapatid mo—"

"Hindi ako makikinig sa mga sasabihin mo, manahimik ka Marites." 

"Princessa Eug—" 

"Nais kong matulog ng mahimbing, Narcisa. Kung mamarapatin niyo, ako'y matutulog na." 

...

The next morning, the three oneirians woke up finding out that Wonyoung left early. They're obviously surprised because it was really unusual. 

The two cuties were also dumbfounded because the princess just gave them a cold shoulder. 

Nahihirapan talaga silang kumbinsihin ang isang 'to eh.

Habang tumatagal, lalo silang nag-aalala sa mundo nila. 

Kailangan na talaga nilang bumalik si Eugene. 

"Marites." 

"Bakit?" 

"Iniisip ko, kung nawawala ang unang reyna... Hindi mo ba naisip na kataka-taka ang biglang pagkawala niya? Idagdag mo pa ang  nawawalang ikalawang brilyante..."

"Ano ang ibig mong sabihin?"

"Baka nasa reyna ang brilyante." 

A pause.

"Possible. Pero kung sakali ngang nasa kaniya iyon, hindi ba't matagal na siyang patay?"

"Hindi ako naniniwala."

"Kung sakaling buhay nga siya, san naman natin siya mahahanap, Narcisa?"

"Hindi ko alam Marites. Hindi ko alam." 

...  

It went on for a day or two. Yujin giving Hitomi and Nako cold shoulders, Wonyoung avoiding Yujin or kung hindi talaga maiwasan the younger acts all awkward and jumpy. Yuri, Chaewon, Minjoo and Yena were still the same. But they all noticed something suddenly shifted between them. 

Pansin rin ni Minjoo na mas naging close sina Nako at Hitomi. Nagseselos tuloy siya. 

A hand appeared in front of her. Placing a box of milk with a straw in it. 

"Drink." Chaewon said. 

"Aren't you jealous?" Minjoo suddenly asked. Hindi niya kasi maintindihan, Chaewon likes Hitomi right? 

"Jealous of what?" The older slightly tilted her head because of confusion. Minjoo pointed a finger towards the main subjects of her thoughts.

Chaewon chuckled after realizing, "Oh, I am not." She flashed a bitter smile, unfortunately Minjoo failed to see it. 

"She's yours. I have no reason to fight anymore." 

"Are you forfeiting? Without putting up a fight?" Minjoo is really confused of Chaewon's behavior. Susuko nalang ba talaga siya?

Chaewon sipped from her drink and said, "I want to. But I realized it's already too late." She slightly pat Minjoo's shoulders. "Go on and confess. Don't harbor your feelings even longer as it will consume you."
