No words / Yeonjun

Chapter 4

Yeonjun

I keep on glancing at her to know what she was doing. I pity myself for doing this but what can I do. I want to look at her without her knowing. But I think she noticed it cause she's been trying to avoid my gaze, looking at other members and that made me uneasy.

Thankfully the members doesn't even know her name. Weird, right? It's like I'm possesive but I can assure you I'm not, just being cautious.

She jogged to me to fix my makeup, I was sweating a lot after doing some rehearsals. I didn't notice before but she's really tall for a girl. Her eyes reached my nose. I could tell cause she was standing right in front of me. Her beauty never fails to amaze me.

Her doe eyes really gets me everytime I look at them. It really does something terrifying to my heart. Suddenly she moved her gaze to me. Our eyes were mirroring each other. She looked at me with a blank face. I couldn't read her but my heart was beating really fast like a cheetah, probably a lot faster.

And then,

She smiled. She really used her beautiful, stunning smile on me. God, does she knows I like her? No, that's nonsense. Was I too obvious? I'm so stupid.

Then she went away as we continued for a little while and then went back to our waiting room.

Haeryeon

Why did I smile? God, he must have known that I like him. I can't do that. It's too risky for my career. Maybe he would tell the ceo that I wasn't professional. No! Stupid little dumbass.

I sprint myself to the waiting room but before I could come in, I heard the other staff talking about.....me.

"She can't talk, how pathetic". the owner laughs and the rest joined also. I felt like digging a hole and burried myself in it.

How did they know? Of course I never talk but...

"How the hell did she get in walking around like that. It's really pitiful. That's why she never talks. She would be too embarassed. If I were her, I wouldn't live like that." the person scoffed and people agreed the words that came out.

I felt something wet on my cheeks and that's when I found out that I was already crying. The tears were already draining down my face. This is why I don't want people to know. I don't want people's pity. I just want people to accept me and understand me. Why can't they do that?

I turned on my heels and took a step forward without lifting my head up but I bumped into something hard. I didn't want to look up so I just bow a little and bid a small sorry before going my way.

I went to the bathroom to breakdown. I cried for too long but eventually I stopped. I was thinking, do I have to quit? I didn't want to work with people who said menancing words to me but who would accept me other than here. Who would accept someone disable like me?

Yeonjun

I was on my way to the waiting room with the members. I saw someone outside the door from far away. It looks like someone I know. When I walked closer, I saw that it was Haeryeon. But it was weird cause why is she not going inside?

The members too were all looking at each other, confused by the situation. I went ahead as I was the only one who knew her. When I arrived behind her, she suddenly turn and ran up to me, hitting my chest.

I couldn't really see her eyes just apart of her face and I can see that her cheeks were wet. Is she crying? I was frowning while watching her. Why is she crying? I wanted to grab her chin but she moved aside and whispered a sorry before she go. Her voice was trembling. It was confirmed that she was crying.

I followed her with my gaze, the members also looked at her before changing their gaze to me. They all looked at me with their eyebrows frowning. I shrugged off my shoulder.

I was about to take a step before I heard a sentence. A painful one.

"I mean our ceo must had hired because he felt pity for her. Who would want to hire a person like her? A mute person. If she didn't have this job, she would be living by the streets now."

I was mad, furious even. I clenched my fist tightly. Is this why she was crying? So that means, she's.....mute. But she doesn't deserve those words. She didn't asked to be born mute. She's been trying not to be a burden for the team but this is what they do to her. Her skills could get her higher than they ever will. I have to do something.

I turned around facing the members who stood there confused, why am I not going in. "You guys go inside first, I need to go to the bathroom."

I stepped aside and went my own way. I've been pushing her also to talk cause I thought she was shy. She had a reason and I forced her too much. I should apologize first.

Then, I saw her in front of me with her bloodshot eyes. Her cheeks were a little puffy but it makes her cute. She was getting out from the women's bathroom. I stopped on my track as she stopped hers also. We just looked at each other.

I think the way yeonjun knows was not dramatic and I tried to make the words meaner but I couldn't think of anything.
