❝ Let me hear your voice. ❞

ㅡ Taeyong

It's been 6 days since Ahyeong last talked to me. She was avoiding me the whole week and it made me wonder what I did.

"Guys, do you know why Ahyeong is avoiding me?" I asked the boys then they only shake their heads.

"Oh, wait.. she's avoiding you!? Really!?!?" Doyoung almost shouted and I sit beside Johnny nodding.

" I haven't done anything and we make up during Baekhyun"s party. I didn't know what I did to make her avoid me." I said then they start looking all worried.

"It's not obvious she's avoiding you. She talks normally to us." Kun said then I sighed.

"That's exactly why I'm asking you guys. She talks to you like normally but she doesn't talk to me.

Heck, she doesn't even sleep in our room anymore. She's totally avoiding me." I said, remembering all those days where I just have to sleep alone in my room.

"It must be really bad then to the point where she doesn't sleep in your room that you share with her. What did you even do?" Taeil asked me but I only shrugged.

"I don't know!"

"Hey, guys!" We turn our heads because of of the familiar voice. There I saw Ahyeong running to our direction. She then stiffened when she saw me.

"Hey, Yeong. What you have there?" Ten asked, pointing at the bags she's carrying.

"Ah, for all of you. I bought extras just in case. I need to go now." She said, about to walk away but I only grabbed her hand before she can even take a step.

She didn't even look at me when I grab her wrist and the boys seems to notice it also.

"Why ate you avoiding me?" I asked but she only turn to remove my hand on her wrist then she suddenly starts running away.

"Wow.. she is avoiding you." Johnny said, opening the packaging of the bread before taking a bite of it. I bite my lip before I followed her.

I followed her and we both ended up in our classroom which is also empty. She sits down, panting. She rest her head on the table, pouting.

"Why do I have to avoid him?" She muttered then I entered the classroom, closing the door behind me. She then flinched at the noise and looked at me.

I notice her standing up and went up the stairs.

"I just want to know why you're avoiding me, please." I said, following her but she still didn't answer.

She then hit the wall and start to look worried. She was about to go to the other side but I pinned her right before she can take another step.

I grab her chin, making her look at me. I notice her gulp as I lean closer to face.

"Why are you not talking to me?" I said, keeping my eyes open to maintain our eye contact.

She just shut her eyes but I only chuckled at her reaction. I caressed her cheek, making her look at my once again.

"I miss your voice." I said, placing my finger on her lips. Her eyes widened as she just held my hand, stopping me.

"Let me hear your voice." I said, connecting my lips with hers, making her eyes widen even more.

I broke the kiss, looking at her reaction that still looks surprised from my actions.

"Please, talk to me." I said then we heard the door open.

"Oh.. I'm so sorry." It was a guy. I felt Ahyeong start to shake. I look at her just looking at the guy with fear.

"Ahyeong?"

Ahyeong pushes me away and run out of the room, running pass the guy that just entered the classroom.

"Who are you?" I asked, wanting to know why Ahyeong even ran away from me and him. Also, why she was shaking when she looked at him.

"I'm Kang Euigeon." He said then I walked closer to him before my shoulders bumped into his.

"Looks like Ahyeong was scared of you." I said, leaving the room. I look for Ahyeong and when I went to the dorms, I saw our door room open.

I entered the room, seeing Ahyeong on her bed, covering herself with the comforter. I sighed and silently close to door. I walk closer to sitting beside her.

"Neh, Ahyeong. Talk to me please." I said, caressing her hair. I lay down beside her, pulling her waist closer to me.

I made her look at me and she was crying. My eyes widened but it's probably better if I don't ask her.

"Hey, it's okay. I'm here for you." I said, wiping her tears away.

"Now, tell me why you have been avoiding me and I can help you stop crying." I said then she nodded.

"Lyra told me to stop talking to you and she'll tell me a secret of yours but if I don't accept the task or fail the task, she will make me switch roommates and I.." She bursted into tears again, biting her lip.

"I don't want to be separated from you, Taeyong." She said then I sighed before wrapping my arms around her. I let her bury her face on my chest as I just caress her hair.

You can never be separated from me.

Even if I have to fight or scold at someone, I will never leave you.

"I will not allow to be separated from you."
