That follows deep into the night,
Brings the scarlet morning.
One step, then another step.❞

- Eunbyul's POV -
Such a beautiful day...
And I didn't even have a single shut-eye last night how great.
I walked lazily down the stairs. It was only 7 am and I just wanted to throw myself on the comfiest bed in the world, snoozing off to wonderland.
But insomnia just wouldn't let me.
Geez.
"Up so early?" Auntie Yae was sitting on a stool in the kitchen, a cup of coffee in her hand as usual.
I nodded, rubbing my eyes lightly.
Auntie suddenly sighed. Her sigh sounded like she was going through something really rough, as her niece, I had to ask her.
I looked at her with one eyebrow raised, moving my hands, Tell me what's going on?
She glimpsed a small smile and patted my head, "You really can look inside other people's minds."
That sounded familiar, Deja Vu perhaps?
Auntie Yae stood up, wrapping her arms around her body, "There's actually a reason why I came back here..."
Her voice sounded so serious and nervous. I've never seen her like that, a confident person like her would shiver and talk so lifelessly, it's definitely not like her.
"It's about Hajoon..."

- Jihoon's POV -
It was 9 am, I was dragged downstairs by the ridiculously enthusiastic trio, BooSeokSoon.
"The smell of freshly baked pancakes is the best!!!" Soonyoung squealed as he continued to drag me.
As we all got to the dining room, I instantly made eye contact with Eunbyul.
She quickly turned away instead of smiling at me like always, making my heart go boom boom. It was odd of her to do so...
"Hey," Seungcheol snapped his fingers in front of my face, bringing me back to reality, "Stop daydreaming, will you?"
And now even Seungcheol was in a cranky mood. I guess it was because of Hyerim.
Speaking of her, Hyerim was sitting silently at the end of the long table, eating her pancakes without chatting cheerfully as always.
Something tells me today won't be very pretty.
I sat down on the table and a plate of literally ten pancakes stacked up in a pile was served right in front of me by Eunbyul's aunt, "Have a lovely day, Jihoon dear."
After thanking her, I dug in. The girls really weren't lying, her pancakes truly were the best!
I was chewing on my food when Soonyoung tugged on my sleeve, "Hey Jihoon, do you feel... cold?"
I looked at him puzzled, he then signaled me to look at the opposite direction.
Once I looked, I understood instantly what he was trying to say.
Hyerim and Seungcheol.
They were... ten feet apart from each other.
"So much for the dare," Wonwoo whispered to us. We nodded silently.
"I told you it was an idiotic idea!" Seungkwan yelled, gaining everyone's attention.
Yeonha, being the straightforward person she was, glared at Seungkwan, "If it was a stupid idea, why would you do it in the first place?!"
I guess the girls all knew the whole story huh?
Eunbyul suddenly dropped her plate, causing it to break into a million pieces. I could tell something was going on with her, with this whole group of people.
"Byul! What's gotten into you?!" Mihae yelled, stopping Eunbyul from picking up the broken pieces.
I stood up along with Minghao. But before we could even help, Eunbyul ran back into her room upstairs, as fast as lightning.
And from behind me, I could hear her aunt mumbling quietly, "Oh I've made a terrible mistake again..."
Before I could think straight, I ran to her room while everyone looked at me weirdly. Well, I don't give a fu-
I got to her room and surprisingly, the door wasn't even closed. Eunbyul was laying on her bed, her phone in her hand.
She spotted me but didn't kick me out of the room like girls would usually do.
I sat on her bed right next to her.
She had her earphones in, watching some performances of other schools. She watched Red Velvet from SMent Academy, Twice from JYP and so on.
Eunbyul was so focused on her phone, she didn't notice I was looking at her, curious and concerned.
I tapped on her shoulder, "What's wrong?"
She looked at me with sad eyes, the saddest eyes I've ever seen.
I want to sing like them, too.
I was.. shocked. But for some reason, I wanted her to try. I knew the truth about Eunbyul's voice problems, and that she might not even have autism, that even urged me to tell her the truth.
And I did.
"Eunbyul..." I spoke, "Remember the day we were in the forest, fighting and kicking butts?"
She glimpsed a small smile and nodded.
"You... yelled 'stop' or something, remember?"
And it was like it hit her hard. She had a shocked expression on, which I find very cute, actually.
Eunbyul was giving 200% of her attention to me, listening to everything I say.
"And I thought that maybe... Just maybe, that you weren't actually mute..." I stuttered as the girl continued to be shocked.
I could see her swallow her saliva, looking down to her toes, nervous as if she was going to try something risky.
Eunbyul stood up all of a sudden and closed the door. She started pacing around the room, her hand on her throat.
She took a big gulp from her water and stood in the middle of the room.
Then,
She yelled.
And this time,
I could actually hear her.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
Her voice was so loud and powerful. I-It was piercing through my ears but I didn't even care one bit!
She stood there, hands on her mouth, shocked.
Then she ran towards me and hugged me with tears of joy in her eyes, soaking my shirt.
For the very first time,
I heard her sweet and gentle voice.
"I-I... could... speak...!"
