Ballroom, Saturday 20.00 PM

AUTHOR POV

A classic music was played during the formal party that held in a huge ballroom. Glamourous interior with red and gold color covering almost all the interior in that place. The ballroom was packed by people with suit & tie and beauty dresses that match with the formal occasion that been held by the business association. The event was a dinning party where all the business man and woman around the country can meet and maybe create a relation between their companies. There were plenty of big company owners came that night, from a construction company, textile, automotive, and others.

Meanwhile, here sitting a beautiful girl She felt as if she was suffocated because she hated the crowded places
she excused herself to go out from the ballroom and stayed on the balcony outside. She just want to Relax in the quiet and peaceful place where she can’t hear anything related to business and money. So yeah. Balcony was chosen as the quiet and peaceful place she knows. Well actually that’s the only thing that popped up in her head.

When she just opened the door to the balcony, she saw a girl with a light browned hair wore a sleeveless black dress. That girl was, just stared at the city light with a glass of water in her hand. Slowly, eunbi went out from the ballroom and entered the balcony. She tried not to make a huge distraction because eunbi didn’t want to bother her since that girl looked like she was in the deep thought about something. But the unfortunate event coming. There was a sudden attack from nature

The door swung hard The light brown hair girl shocked as she heard a sudden noise because as far as she knew, she was alone in that balcony. At first that girl just stood still and looked to eunbi without any care. But then the girl decided to approach eunbi

eunbi as soon as she saw what was in front of her, she just froze with a blank stare. The light brown hair girl stared at eunbi worriedly. eunbi became speechless and she just stared at the girl without even blinking. Just then, suddenly all she could saw was an sketch book where a question was written in there.

Are you okay?

eunbi who was still mesmerized by the girl’s beauty took a little time to process the question while the other girl looking at her curiously yet worried. The girl shook her sketchbook to gain eunbi attention. And it works.

“Ah.. um. Ne.. I’m okay. i'm sorry I didn't want to bother you but....the door .” The girl smile and she wrote something on her sketchbook

it's okay ^^

The girl held the book with a gummy smile decorating her beautiful and glamourous face.

“T-thank you ....em.. Sorry what is your name?”

again the girl doing something with her sketchbook. She was turning every page like she trying to find something. When eunbi saw all the pages that been skipped, she can see that the sketchbook was written by a several words. From long until as simple

‘Whoa so she use her sketchbook to communicate? Why? Does she has a disability?’ thought eunbi. but she still didn’t dare to ask that kind of question. It might be too personal or can offend her

My name is miyawaki sakura, miyawak CEO’s daughter. Nice to meet you

“Oh ! Pleasure to meet you. I’m kwon eunbi I’m kwon CEO’s daughter.” Said eunbi and again,sakura went back to do something on her sketchbook

Nice to meet you kwon eunbi -ssi Said sakura

And after that, they talked for quite long time. Just the two of them, in a cool yet warm night and a dimmed voice of classical yet romantic music from inside the ballroom accompanied them. They were talking about many things. although mainly eunbi the one who spoke like about the event, or the interior and others, and sometimes she spoke about herself like dance and others

Through the conversations, a thought about why sakura communicate with sketchbook kept roaming ineunbi head, whether sakura has disability or perhaps there’s other reason behind it. Although she tried so hard to avoid giving sakura a question since it will be hard for her to write it, but it’s not eunbi if she not curious about something. So she asked and fortunately sakura already prepared the answer.

The reason is, sakura has a tiny little voice that probably hard to be heard in this kind of occasion where music and other voices collided and create a kind of noisy situation. So sakura thought that by communicate through sketchbook probably the most effective way since she doesn’t have to re-tell her words, or she doesn’t have to yelled and hurt others ear, and other reasons. But eunbi didn’t mind at all. Instead, she finds it cute and interesting how the girl decided to bring her sketchbook to help her communicate.

*ring riing*

“oh! It’s from my father. It means I must go back to him and go home.” Said eunbi sakura also shown eunbi a message from her mom also as a sign for sakura to comeback.

“Its nice to see you sakura-ssi. Hope we can meet again sometimes. Bye!” eunbi bid a goodbye to sakura and ran towards the door. But she suddenly stop and went back to sakura

“Em.. c-can I have your number? W-well If you don’t want to it’s okay… I.. just.. you know.. maybe we can talk again sometimes or.. maybe we ca—“ eunbi stopped talking when sakura gave her a piece of paper and she ran away. At first eunbi stood there blankly, dumbfounded with the situation but again a wide smile appeared in her face as she read the piece of paper that sakura gave her.

miyawaki sakura : 8127xxxx you can text me anytime you want but phone call is prohibited ^^

eunbi felt that she kind of attracted to sakura. “miyawaki sakura huh.. What an interesting girl.

izone All-Girls High School C Building, Monday 15.00 PM

AUTHOR POV

“From the entrance walk straight…. After the billboard, turn left… go up… turn left and.. ARGH! Why this map so complicated!!” Said eunbi angrily.

As a student council, she must do what the student council president told her to do and right now, she has to go to the Video Game club’s room to deliver a few paper from the Student council president, lee chaeyeon

Why Video game club among others.. damn.. those lads are too absurd.” Again she complained during her walk. Video game club was known as the weirdest club in izone High.
eunbi keep complaining and whining along the corridor in the C building. She walked with her eyes stick to the paper she held where’s a picture of map drew in it
izone High C Building 2nd floor corridor

eunbi POV

now I already in front of room c-2. There’s a sign that said ‘video game club’ so yes I’m in the right place. Please When I open this door, I hope i won’t experience a weird thing.

I grabbed the door knob and hesitated for a moment because well hello! I’m going to enter the room of the weirdest club in our school! Of course I will be a little bit nervous and anxious. Okay. Enter, give, and go home. As simple as that eunbi

I knock the door and opened the door

*knock knock*

“hi……yo…”

I froze for a second and quickly went out again, hiding myself behind the door. My heart was beating crazily and I’m not breathing normally. God I thought I almost had a heart attack…

Wondering what was happening? I saw someone sitting in that room, she was hella gorgeous although the geeky and nerdy vibe strongly attached to her. the moment I opened the door, that girl looked at me blankly while holding a cookie in her hand and it was so cute! But its not because of her visual... I was freak out because of she really resemble to a certain girl that I just met last Saturday. Yup! That gorgeous nerd really look like miyawaki sakura . Well after that day, me and sakura still keep in touch with each other and I must tell you, she replied my messages pretty fast like her phone is always beside her.

As the effect of my panic reaction, I still tried to control my breath After I felt calmer and everything seems normal, I tried to peek through the small glass in the door and unfortunately, she made an eye contact with me! gosh that girl really looks like miyawaki sakura

I tried to scroll my messages with sakura we’ve been chatting like every day, but I never asked about her school life. Like which school she attend, which grade etc. damn eunbi.. how could you be this stupid

So.. the only way to find out is asking her directly. But hold up for a sec… miyawaki sakura is the most elegant, calm, and gorgeous girl I ever know. she is also daughter of a big company and why the hell she join a weird club like this?

Okay first thing first. Let’s match the direction that chaeyeon gave me and the room sign. It’s says room C-2 is the video game club’s room and this is room C-2. So I’m in the right place. Okay… second. Go inside, apologize and let’s ask the girl who really look like miyawaki sakura whether she is her or not. Third, if she’s not sakura, then just give the letters to her and go, and if its her, well… let’s think about that later.. But if it that girl is sakura, why I never saw her? why I never heard about her? or if she really are one of the member, why I never saw her when the weirdos doing their crazy thing? or she’s just a friend of them? but why would she.. ah! My brain can’t handle this complicated things

*Knock Knock*

As the door was opened, again. The only thing i saw was that girl. A light brown hair girl, with a big rounded glasses on her nose alooking straight to my eyes innocently. i let out a wide grin as the awkwardness and embarrassment filling me. as I entered, the girl waved at me and smiled it’s definitely her.
“sakura-ssi, right? miyawaki sakura ?” she smile and nod. Oh god it’s really her!!! “H-hi? Damn eunbi.. why you have to stutter and greeted her awkwardly.

“Um.. sorry for earlier.. I didn’t expect to see you here, in this room. Plus, I also didn’t expect that you’re one of the student here. So.. yeah I’m sorry for being rude.”sakura smiled and shook her head means that i didn’t do something rude to her. fiuh what a relieve “um.. are you one of the member of this club?” sakura nod and smile at me.

OMG! She is one of this weird club member?! WOW! An elegant and calm girl, spending like most of the time with bunch of weirdos?! Maybe I was wrong about the video game club member. Maybe not all of them are weird. Like.. come on.. look at her! if all the members are weird, I bet she’s the sanest and normal person in the club.

“So what’s bring you here kwon-sunbae?”

“I just want to giv— WHOAA!!! WHAT WAS THAAT?!” Of course I yelled. Who wouldn’t do that if you suddenly heard a robotic voice come out from nowhere, and that voice asking you a question?! But eunbi shown different reaction. She tilted her head, looking pretty confused with my reaction.

“T-that!!! What was that voice coming from your laptop! The robotic thing!” sakura giggled at how I seems freak out about the voice that came out from her laptop.

“This is a software I created to help me speak.” Said sakura through her laptop. “B-but why? This place is quiet enough. People still can hear your voice.” I said. “it doesn’t matter if this place is quiet enough or not. My voice is that small.” She said. O-okay.. that’s weird enough… “But how come it can sound so perfectly like that? It’s much more clearly than a google translate speakers.” its really sound like that laptop speak to me! its really sound like a robot but smoother! and it’s scary plus weird because a pretty girl like her speaking with a voice like that!

“Like I said, this is a software that I created. I invented this when I still on elementary school. That time, when I spoke, people always asked me to repeat every single sentences. They said that they can’t hear a thing or they can’t hear it clearly so.. I’m tired of it and invented this.”

Whoa… an elementary student created a program? She is really something. The program is indeed weird.. yet interesting Although the robotic voice kind of ruined sakura elegant image, I still think sakura is gorgeous.

“so you never talk? I mean with your mouth?” sakura nod her head and it made me gasped at shock. “Wow! You can endured that?? I can’t even shut up for just a minute…” I said but then the annoying laughing sound came out from her laptopThe sound like mocking me and sounded not sincere.. But sakura shown me her gummy smile so yes she really laughing at it.

“So… What’s bring you here?” ah right.. I almost forget about that. “chaeyeon asked me to give these letters to your club. please give it to your leader okay?” I gave sakura the letters that I’ve been holding and again, I stood in front of sakura table without doing anything.

“Yow my brilliant caty I brought new ga—eh?eunbi-ssi?” I looked at my back, and oh god it’s the club leader a.k.a choi yena the weirdest of them all. She was my classmates back on the second year, so of course we know each other

“What are you doing here? Wanna join our club?” I quickly shook my head and my hands as a denial. “I’m just delivering letters from chaeyeon I said. “Isn’t that yuri job?” “yes. It is. But she’s absent so.. I’m here.” I said. “Don’t worry . yuri won’t leave you.” Said robotic sakura. Damn I must adapt to that sound as fast as possible..

Okay I’ve done my job and its time to go. “eum… my job in here is done. So.. I’ll take my leave.” I said. “well.. okay then. If you want to join our club, the door is widely open for everyone or if you just want to chill out and have a relaxing game, just come to our club.” Said yena. I just smiled and bow politely. Oh yes… of course I bid goodbye to sakura
miyawaki sakura …. How come people can be gorgeous and nerd at the same time? Although its weird, but having that unique thing is what makes her interesting.

izone All-Girls High School Class 3-1, Tuesday Lunch Break

AUTHOR POV

As usual, the Student Council trio—yuri .chaeyeon.eunbi eat their lunch together in class

eunbi? Well that girl right now just relaxing and enjoying the view on her left side. Her life cycle probably just school, dance, eat, and repeat. she didn’t really pay attention to the clubs she should supervised. Except for the dancing club since she is one of the member. Plus.. she loves Relaxing a lot. So yeah..Relaxing while looking at the peaceful green field on her left is something that eunbi usually do
she was think about sakura that girl’s face always popped on eunbi thought. eunbi not fell in love with her. It just the fact that sakura actually never talk using her own mouth bothers her a lot. Actually, she just curious about sakura real voice.
yuri. can I asked you something?” asked eunbi
what is asked yuri
“Does sakura really never talk?

sakura? You mean miyawaki sakura ? The VG club’s genius?” eunbi just nod didn’t know its true or not but as long as its miyawaki sakura she just nod.

“She speaks a lot! She looked like a timid and shy girl, but actually she—“

“WITHOUT her laptop tho.” eunbi made a correction with a full stressed on the ‘without’ word

“Well…Before she invented that software, she’s a chatter girl Always asking this and that, telling story about this and that. But after she created iSpeak—the name of the software, she never speaks with her own voice again. I even forget how her voice back then.” All the past tense that yuri told to eunbi, made her switched her focus to yuri

“Wait. Back then? You knew her? I mean you know her since she is the member of the VG club. But.. you already knew her before that?” yuri nod
“she’s my friend back in elementary school and our parents are friends since high school so yeah our family is pretty close to each other.” Said yuri
“So.. She never talk after that? Did she always brought her laptop everywhere back then? Do you know the reason why she did that?” asked eunbi with her curiosity level boost up. “Like I said. No she never speak with her own mouth again after that. Every hours, every week, every month, she always stick with her laptop going here and there using iSpeak to talk instead using her own mouth. Well she said that she addicted to it and it turn to be a habit so she like don’t want to speak with again.”

yuri statement made eunbi confused for a second. sakura looked like a really geeky weirdo by the reason yuri just said and its different with the version that eunbi heard from sakura. eunbi version made sakura looked innocent and cute you know… girl with soft and tiny voice. but here, yuri created a new image of sakura and of course it made eunbi more curious about sakura
“Really? Well.. She told me because her voice is small and she’s tired to repeat every single word because people hard to hear her voice.” said eunbi

“w-well.. maybe that’s also right. I don’t really remember about her voice.. do you remember anything chaeyeon?” asked yuri. “Well… Since sakura also my junior in elementary school and she used to live near my house, I’m close to her and wrote something about her in my dairy. and it says that she really has a small voice. but I think what she told kind of different with what she told me, eunbi . But I don’t really remember that well since it was happened back when we just 9 or 8 years old.” Said chaeyeon.

“By the way… what with these sudden interest in her eunbi ?” asked chaeyeon “ oh nothing I just never saw someone like her that’s
they look at eunbi and then all of them just shrug it off

eunbi was thinking about sakura ....about the suspicious thing behind the reason why sakura use iSpeak often, made eunbi broke her own life principle.

“That’s It!” The three looked at eunbi who’s now standing on the chair. “ “Listen okay, I’m going to find the real reason why sakura never speak, and I will make her speak to me with her own voice!” “Stop doing nonsense. Just concentrate on your studies eunbi ignorned chaeyeon lecture

I will make her speak to me with her own voice -eunbi smile
