Five Days of Winter
Description
Daehyun pretended to be a mute for the first half of his life, but when an unfortunate event occured, losing his parents, his voice started to fade away. People believed he was traumatized and thought it would pass on. Truthfully, Daehyun refused to talk. He didn't see the need for it since the ones he loved were gone. However, that all changed when he met him.
Youngjae had an almost normal life due to his fear of his strict father. Although he seems like the happy-go-lucky type to everyone around him, in actuality, Youngjae is the opposite. Inside his house, he doesn’t feel like the same person that he shows everyone else. Sometimes, he wonders if there’s two of him. He never thought that he would meet someone so different from him, but yet similar. He never thought of actually becoming someone’s happiness.
Foreword
Daehyun
I used to think if I pretended to be a mute then people will start listening to me more, but in fact, it had the opposite effect. I thought that people would be able to hear me better if I said nothing at all. I thought people will actually care more about me rather than fakes who only friend me because I’m handsome and talented.
But I was wrong.
Ever since I had lost my parents, it felt as if I didn’t have a voice at all. It felt as if I was really mute, unable to talk to anyone. I could still hear others speak and they all say the same thing, “He’s traumatized. It’ll take time for him to heal.”
I used that to my advantage and haven't spoken to people ever since; not even to my own aunt who has been taking care of me for years. I’m glad she’s patient because I don’t know when I’ll actually speak. I even learned how to do sign language, so what’s the whole point of speaking now? Having at least one language is enough to communicate, even if barely anyone knows what I’m saying.
That’s okay. I’d rather be the only one who hears me.
At least, that’s what I thought until I met him.

Youngjae
I love the attention everyone gives me at school, especially from my friends. I love how they listen to me and laugh at my jokes. I love hearing the sound of laughter. I guess that’s why I love talking so much.
I mean, I never thought how many people I got to know just by a simple, “Hello.”
Everything sparks right there.
Just by that simple greeting, things pick up from there. I usually continue the conversation no matter how awkward it was for that other person. I could still see them around, right? However, when I’m home it’s a completely different story.
At home, it was hard to smile, laugh, or talk with my dad around. He was so strict on me to where I fear I would make a wrong move with everything I do. I don’t even know if he smiles at me either. It was hard to handle him, but my mom could, which is another thing I don’t understand. How does she do it? How does she manage to make my cold-hearted dad become such a warm, smiley person?
I never understood that until I met my greatest challenge of all: Jung Daehyun.
