“I’m listening!” I said to Yuri as I was driving but she said nothing, she just sat there staring in the empty space.

*Great…she just got in a confrontation with a guy twice her size and she acts like nothing happened. Uh…she pisses me off.*

“Fine…do as you wish, but next time don’t expect me to help you!” I said angry while hitting the steering wheel

“It’s fine with me, your actions were unnecessary; I didn’t ask your help so you should have stayed out of it. Many girls would probably appreciate your gallantry but I am not one of those. I don’t need a man to take care of me!” spoke Yuri looking not even a little affected by my outburst from a few moments ago

“This…I heard …this before” I mumbled silently

*Where did I hear this before? Where….where?* I wondered trying hard to remember where I have heard the exact same words.

Flashback:

Your action were unnecessary, I didn’t ask your help so you should have stayed out of it. Many girls would probably appreciate your gallantry but I am not one of those. I don’t need a man to take care of me.

End of flashback

The answer to all my questions came up a few minutes later when I finally remembered where I heard Yuri’s line: it was at the hospital and suddenly everything started to match. The first time I met Yuri was not at the supermarket but at the hospital, she was the girl that was slapped by that man…the exact same man that I fought today. That’s the reason why the first time I met her she seemed familiar…because I had met her before.

“YOU ARE THE GIRL FROM THE HOSPITAL!”

“What do you mean? You mean…you mean that you were able to speak in the past?” I asked Jessica curious because not even once it crossed my mind to ask her why she couldn’t talk…I always assumed she was like that since birth.

**I was able to talk until a few years ago. Not only that…I was actually a really great singer too.**

“Really? WOW, I would have never imagined! So, it means that you’re good in both singing and drawing! Whoa...God is really unfair at times!” I said jokingly

**No…not at all. God is fair…other way he wouldn’t have taken my voice. **

“I…I didn’t mean it like that!” I said feeling like a big jerk for not picking my words more carefully  “What I meant to say was that… are pretty, tall and you also have a lot of talents. Anyway how did it happen, how have you lost your voice?”

** It was winter…there were only a few days left before the New Year. Outside it was cold, the road was slightly slippery. Now and then a few snowflakes would fall timidly. Mom was driving and I was sitting next to her holding in my hands the trophy that I won. Out of all 100 competitors that participated in the Christmas carol contest …I was the best. Mom was grinning from ear to ear, while telling me about how she would brag to her friends. She was so happy, I was too, and who would have guessed that in the end she wouldn’t get the chance to show off...because her life was ended because of some…stupid driver.**

“You mean that…that day you and your mom were involved in a car accident?”  I asked Jessica trying to sound as gentle I could .She nodded in response then she wiped away a small tear that was threatening to fall from her eyes

**That day mom lost her life…while I lost her…my voice and then everything around me. In that accident ...I hit my head really bad in the Wernicke’s area…a place that is very important for a person in order to talk, so because of the impact…I became like this. My disease it’s called Aphasia.**

“Aphasia…” I mumbled silently the word, feeling hatred towards it because it hurt so much the person I loved the most “Can’t it be cured…your disease?”

**Partially…the doctor’s prognostic was that in the best case I could speak a little after a few years of therapy but…it will never be the same!**

“Then how come after so many years you still can’t speak?”

**That’s  because I never did therapy!**

“Why?”

**Because  I didn’t have the resources, nor the persons to motivate me! After my mom died, dad started to drink. Each day he would return home drunker. Drinking costs money too. Almost all his wage would go on soju so in order to have money for school supplies, clothes and food I had to work part time , I couldn’t afford to waste my money on therapy, also when I became mute my friends started to avoid me…I wasn’t able to have a proper conversation with them so I guess they considered me an inconvenience so they started to push me away. At that time I felt horribly, my mom just died, I had no voice, my father started to slowly kill himself and all my friends pushed me away!**

“It can’t be that bad.In every evil is something good.”I said trying to sound optimistic

**You’re right…at that time I met Yuri. Back then she was one of the most popular girls in the school. Everyone was around her, every girl envied her and every guy wanted her attention, but she rarely paid attention to anyone, that’s why the day she defended me, I couldn’t really believe it. It was like an unwritten rule that popular kids don’t befriend the social handicapped ones…yet that day she broke that rule**

“She helped you? What do you actually mean?” I asked hoping that my suspicions were not true…but they were, because reality is simple…the powerful ones bully the weak ones. This rules though it it’s universal. In our school it wasn’t me, nor my brothers the ones that bullied the ,the ones that bully kids like Jessica are not part of mafia ,but rather those kids that seem normal…those kids that believe they deserve everything and that they can use any means to get what they want. I always believed that it’s scary how the world works…that’s why I hate violence of any kind because most of the time is the innocent ones that are hurt…yet ironically the destiny picked me to be the son of a man that earns his living exactly by hurting innocent people

Jessica P.O.V

**After I became mute everyone started to treat me differently. I know I wasn’t some popularity queen before the accident, yet after that catastrophy  …somehow it seemed like I was a bother for everyone around me. One day in our school transferred this new guy. He instantly became everyone’s center of attention. Because he was new, once he asked me for directions, but since I couldn’t speak I tried to explain it to him using the body language but it was all misinterpreted by one of the queenkas so during one of the recesses she picked on me…**

Flashback:

“Yah, you really have a lot of courage! How dare you flirt with Donghae?” said Yoona one of the queenkas as she pushed me violently against the locker”You like him?” she yelled “If you do, then stop it because he’s mine! Do you understand?” she asked then she slammed her hand onto the locker hardly, making me shiver “I hope you got what I said or next time my hand won’t touch the locker but …“

“But what?” said Yuri, another very popular girl while popping out from behind one of the walls where apparently she’s been hiding until than “You’re not thinking to pick on an defenseless girl are you?” asked Yuri in a cold tone

“Yah, Kwon Yuri stay out of it. This has nothing to do with you. It’s her fault for hitting on my Donghae!” defended herself Yoona

“Donghae, who’s that?” said Yuri looking clueless for a moment but one second later her face expression changed completely, it was just like she would have had a split personality “Ah…now I remember! It’s the new guy, the one all the girls are swooning over. Well, I must admit he’s kind of handsome. Maybe I should try my luck with him don’t you think so ?” said Yuri smiling mischievously

“You wouldn’t !” said Yoona looking pale

“I can and I would. So if you don’t want me to steal your precious Donghae then I suggest you to never ever again dare to lay a finger on her, because if you do I’ll make sure that Donghae will come and beg me to be his girl. Now get lost!” said Yuri looking deadly serious scaring Yoona enough to scram. After Yoona was far away I finally managed to breathe properly. I wanted to thank Yuri but she didn’t give me the chance. “Don’t misunderstand; I didn’t help you because I care about you , the only reason I helped you was because I hate her more then you and I had a bad day so I really felt the need to take it off on somebody and coincidentally  she was the first person that I saw.” Said Yuri then she left looking as independent, as strong as always in her dark colored clothes and her high heels.

Yuri P.O.V

“Talk!” repeated Minho for the 10^th time trying to sound patient though it was obviously he wasn’t . “Talk!” he said once again then he pressed on the break forcefully making the car stop violently

“Are you insane?” I yelled at him because he almost caused me to hit the window with my head

“You bet I am! How couldn’t I be insane when each time I am with you my life is hanging by a stand of hair and each time I ask for an explanation all I get is silence. Up to now I tried to be patient but I got tired so today I’m not going to let you off!” said Minho then he took the key from the contact , put it in his pocket and laid on his seat. “I’ll start driving only when you’ll start speaking!”  Said Minho then he sat there waiting for me to talk, probably believing that I was one of those easy to handle woman but he didn’t have any idea how wrong he was

***30 minutes later***

“You won’t give up right?” I asked already guessing what Minho’s answer would be

“Nope!” he said flatly

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Minho P.O.V

“I’ve figured out you’d say that. You really don’t leave me another option!” said Yuri then she approached me and tried to steal it out of my pocket. Unfortunately for her being the son of a mafia leader has put me in situations that helped me build amazing reflexes

“What do you think you’re doing?” I asked Yuri as I gazed in her eyes trying to understand mere this girl that never failed to make me confused…the girl that I simply never came to understand.  Her big chocolate colored eyes were as mysterious as always…looking at her I felt hypnotized. Unknowingly my hands cupped her face and my lips suddenly touched hers.

Unexpectedly she didn’t push me away she just sat there like a statue. A few seconds later she finally seemed to have come to her senses.

*slap*She slapped me then she pushed me away opened the car door and got out of the car really pissed off.

“Great! Smart move Minho! Now certainly there’s no chance for me to find out what she’s hiding.” I scolded myself then I got out of the car and chased after Yuri. “I am sorry. I didn’t mean it! I don’t know what has gotten into me. I promise it won’t happen ever again!” I said to Yuri after managing to catch up with her

“You are right it won’t happen! Because you and me won’t see each other again!” said Yuri coldly

“What do you mean?” I asked confused

“I mean that as soon as I get to your apartment I’ll take my things and then I’ll move out!”
