She never thought that she had been taking things for granted. That the most ordinary things were the most extraordinary. That she should’ve cherished every second of those ordinary moments.

It was supposed to be a normal day. Or, even better, a special day. Seungwan was slated to sing Speechless with other idols from different girl groups singing Disney OSTs alongside her. Joohyun always liked Seungwan's voice. Her singing. She was looking forward to that stage. A few stages after Seungwan's, Red Velvet was to perform together their new song. So all members were there in the SBS studio, sitting and chatting in the waiting room, while Seungwan set off to go rehearse her Speechless performance.

Time is a funny thing, thought Joohyun, when you're anxiously waiting for something, it never seems to go faster, but when you're dreading something, it just flies forward so fast. She couldn't wait to hear Seungwan sing. Her powerful voice filling the whole studio.

Then the door burst opened, and Joohyun had to thought again, how time is so funny. So funny that it played tricks on her. Because when the door opened, when she saw her manager's panic-stricken ashen face, time stopped. When time stops, things are supposed to stop as well. But when time stopped, her manager's mouth still moved. Joohyun's world still shattered.

"There was an accident."

"Wendy fell."

And Joohyun? She closed her eyes. To escape, to deny, to wish, to hope, and to regret.

Oh, how she regretted. Taking ordinary days for granted. Fooling herself that everything would be just fine if they pretend to be fine.
