"one day when you're ready, i wanna hear your voice"
a feeling of restriction and being held back, yet portrayed in different ways. both looking for freedom - possibly, in each other.

class had just ended when hwayoung ran out of the classroom. running to get away from the one and only mafia member, chenle. she remembers reading his profile,
his specialty is drugging, he's a fighter and long range shooter..AISH IM SO FUCKED
hwayoung ran until she finally made it to the girls bathroom. she let out an exasperated sigh before walking into the cubicle and locking the door
ok think hwayoung. he probably hid drugs in his pocket or bag, doubt he'd bring a gun but there's always a possibility.
pacing back and forth in the compacted cubicle. these were life changing decisions but chances were, she'd end up dead either way
if i go with him, will i be able to speak? will mum find out?
suddenly the sound of the bathroom door opening made her lose her train of thought
"hwayoung-ah~ did you really think you could hide from a mafia?" he, who is obviously chenle, let out a cackle. holding his stomach to stop himself from laughing
he has a point
"c'mon young-ah~ i won't hurt you! at least i won't intentionally hurt you, c'mon!" his choice of words suddenly bring flashbacks of that day to her mind
"shh now hwayoung-ah. mummy won't hurt you, not intentionally at least"
as the memories slowly flood her mind, her eyes brimmed with tears. tears threatening to fall but didn't. she wanted to tell herself everything would be ok but she couldn't. she knew everything was a mess but she tried to stay strong
"you know hwayoung, just because you're mute, doesn't mean you can't open the cubicle door. i know you're hiding. i can hear your breathing"
i don't wanna die but i wanna talk again
standing there in her place, contemplating whether to get out or stay
call me dumb but I've had enough. whether they kill me or not, as long as I'm away from mother
hwayoung slowly reaches for the lock and hesitantly unlocks the door
death here i come
ever so slowly, she walks out the cubicle to see chenle leaning against the wall. both hands shoved in his pockets
alright i know i said not my type but..he's hot-
"ah look who finally decided to come out. it's ok, i won't hurt you but you do have to come with me" chenle started turning his pockets inside out defending himself, showing her he won't harm her in any way. "but i must say, for a mute girl, you are quite impressive" he says smirking at hwayoung
I'm mute not dumb, you idiot
hwayoung glared at the boy in i front of her before rolling her eyes at him. "quite the attitude i see, i like it" he teased her, following with a wink. "now let's go! we leave before recess ends" he laughed while sending her a smile. grabbing her hand, he leads her out the bathroom and to her locker. "grab your bag and let's go" replying with nothing but a nod, hwayoung opens her locker and grabs her bag. as she was about to close her locker she grabs a small book from the shelf inside and shoved it in her bag.
"hey what's that?" chenle asked tilting his head to the side. his eyebrows furrowed in confusion as he pointed to the book in her bag. only for hwayoung to shake her head, refusing to answer
it's something important to me, probably my most prized possession ——— as they made their way out to the front of the school, chenle leads her to a black ford mustang. as they got inside the car, there was another man sitting in the drivers seat.
oh he's hot. totally my type
"lee jeno, if you're wondering"
oh that guy! makes sense. the hot dude is always the seducer
"so hwayoung, you're the one that got our profiles?" jeno asked in curiosity. without the ability to speak, she nods her head in response. "quiet one we got. i wonder what it'll take to get you to-" jeno was soon cut off by the sound of chenle's voice "hyung she's mute, she won't speak even if you forced her to" jeno then nods his head in understanding of the situation.
throughout the whole drive to their 'base', no one dared to speak a word. hwayoung's mind was full of questions throughout the drive,
am i safe now or am i dead meat? what's gonna happen now? ——— renjun is hot. that's all i hv to say
