Mute Girl and Black Prince

Warning

After the incident in the cafeteria, Dahyun became a hot topic in school. Her twin brother Youngjae tried to protect her, but unfortunately Youngjae has been assigned as one of the students who will organize the Mr. and Ms. Seoul High. They will not see each other often since he will be very busy.

When they reached her classroom, Youngjae was hesitant to let her hand go. He sighed and turned Dahyun's body to face him. "Listen to me, Dahyun. If you sense that something bad will happen, or if any students are being mean to you, just press the call button and I will immediately run all the way to where you are," he look at her very seriously. Then he pulled his hair. "Ahhh! This won't happen if you just listened to me! I already told you to stay away from those two. Why did you even invite them to eat lunch with you, huh?"

Dahyun was about to write on her notebook but Youngjae stopped him. "Whatever. Just do what I told you. Call me if you need help or if you want someone to talk to. I know that you still don't want to speak, but I am your brother for Pete's sake! So you have no choice but to speak to me, okay? I expect that when I received a call from you, you will finally speak, that I will finally hear your voice again."

Dahyun made a face. She attempts to write on her notebook but Youngjae stopped her again. "Just try, Dahyun," he tiredly said. "I am your brother. You can rely on me. You can tell me everything. You can trust me." He gently squeezed her hands. "I'll see you around, hmm?" He ruffled her hair before walking away.

Dahyun guiltily watched Youngjae's back. I'm sorry, Youngjae. Youngjae is right, he is her brother. They are actually twins. But she's still not ready to speak to anyone.

Well, except for Yugyeom.

Just then, the said guy came. Dahyun can't help but feel excited when she saw Yugyeom walking his way in their classroom. She should get inside now, but she chose to wait for him on the door, to fully see his face. She was kinda disappointed to see that he no longer brought his lunchbox. He must be mad about what happened yesterday and decided not to eat lunch with me anymore, she thought.

She was deep in her thoughts she didn't realize that Yugyeom is already standing in front of her. He hardly placed a hand at the top of her head, which made Dahyun bolted in surprise.

Eyes on the floor, Dahyun saw a big pair of shoes and felt a huge presence towering her. She slowly lifted her eyes up and they widened once they met Yugyeom's hard stare.

"Why are you blocking the way, Mute Girl?" he asked, a smirk planted on his face.

Dahyun's face flustered. She attempts to move on the side but Yugyeom firmly holds the top of her head, making her whole body froze. He then stooped down, getting on her level, and whispered on her ear. "I forgot to bring my lunch box so please do me a favor and buy me food later. I prefer eating at the rooftop than on the cafeteria." And after that, he get inside the classroom, leaving a shocked yet confused Dahyun.

Dahyun was looking for Eunwoo, but apparently, the said guy is absent today for an unknown reason. She can't help but get worried for him. I wonder why he's absent. If he's not feeling well, I hope he feels better soon, she said to herself, staring at the empty seat in front of her.

Just then, a crumpled paper landed on her table. She looked on her side and saw Yugyeom innocently staring in front, pretending to listen to the boring lecture.

Dahyun uncrumpled the paper and read his note: "Do you miss your boyfriend?"

Dahyun made a face when she read the word "boyfriend." What is he saying? I don't have a boyfriend!
