The silent cold winter morning had the wind howling as it hit the leafless trees and touched her delicate skin.

The song of spring has long surpassed the season of Seoul. The cherry blossoms on the tips of the sakura tree's crooked fingers have all already gone back to earth, where the gardeners have swept them away, not even the songs of the sparrows escaped their mouths. Only silence lingers through the air from the early morning.

The cold morning sky was slightly dark, you can see the sun reaching out the horizon from its slumber. Clouds of fluffy nature were spread across the lonely sky where the heavenly bodies ruled. The sun was most merciless, hiding away his sunny rays; the same goes for one particular girl whose eyes has lost its light of hope.

With beautiful, medium-black hair, and those bright brown eyes, she is young, beautiful, smart but also with a fair, calm face, whose lines bespoke repression and even certain strength. She continuously walked towards the front door of her popular private school while listening to her favorite music from her phone. Not many students would come this early, but she doesn't mind. It's better that way—nobody would try to bother her

Once she arrived in the library, she took out her book and started reading. Her cheek rested gently on her fist while locks of her hair were draping down her ears and on her shoulders. A sigh escaped her lips every few minutes because she knew where the story was going. It was the usual stereotype of books, those romance books.

But not for long, something hit her, a very sharp pain hit her. An unpleasant sensory was coming inside of her, she dropped her hand down and held one side of her head tightly. Her eyes kept widening as the pain continuously stabbed deeper into her brain. Her teeth clenched hard while she makes painful noises. She quickly stood up from her seat and rush towards the bookshelves. Hiding from anyone who might be seeing her in such a state.

The terrible sharp pain was twittering viciously into her whole head. "A-argh~" - she tries her best not to groan too loudly. It will be too much trouble if anybody knew. Please go away!

The world seemed to be in hyperdrive as the adrenaline pulsates through her veins with a loud boom; every sound is magnified to countless numbers. She couldn't breathe, her vision started clouding. The pain is making her gasp and stagger for breaths but she can't. She knew this couldn't last any longer so she looked back at her bag that was on the table. She stumbles forward slightly, trying to reach towards the table until she heard a group of voices.

The voices were getting louder, it seems it's coming in her way. She knows she needs to leave but her feet were somehow glued on the floor. Her legs didn't move at all, as if she was frozen there at the very spot. "I must g-get out—" - she whispered with difficulty.

As now, one thing has kept her mind running wildly. The one thing she's very strict about. To not let anyone knows her tragic and insufferable secret. She kept this secret for 5 years and she wasn't going to let this powerful pain stop her. For 5 years, hiding from everyone including her parents, today is not the day she will let go. Letting all of her hard work go to waste isn't happening.

"Hey, why don't we go check out the horror section?" - one of them said.

"Yeah! I've been dying to try to read one of them." - one answer eagerly.

"Okay, what type of horror book do you want to read?" - another one questioned.

Those three were talking among themselves which horror book they should read. They were all too excited about what they might find. As they got there, they didn't expect who they were going to meet. She turned around and faced them and notice those three boys or maybe men, they could probably be college students who are fairly handsome who just stood there shockingly.

One had their mouth dropped open, another stood there frozen with wide eyes and a hand covered his mouth, while the other one just had a shocked face. She stood there watching them how shocked they were. She gave them a low bow and left. Once she turned around, she let out a soft sigh, she knew why they reacted that way; she is the girl everyone knows about.

The Ice Queen or Mute Girl.

Cause no one heard her speak or tried to break her cold shell, no one has ever succeeded in accomplishing it. That's why she's lonely with no friends. But that isn't her worries, she was lucky that all that excruciating pain has left before they could discover what was happening. If you notice closely, you can tell her breathe is still uneven and sweat drops are sliding down against her face, while her forehead is slightly furrowed down slightly.

The pain she felt before has left but not completely. She left the building and the cold air hits her soft skin as goosebumps spread around her body. Her eyes are only sad and dull. When will this ever end?

Author's Note : hey guys ! So what do you think about the prologue? Is it good?

I think it's really good, but I know I can't get all the credit. There are some sentences that I didn't came up with. I will solely credit them to the rightful owner. I'm even sad to say that they aren't mine. I mean, because of those phrases or sentences this chapter came out good. Like really good! But 80% of them came from me.

Comment below as what you think for this chapter.
