"Good job guys! We sound way better than before. I'm so proud of you! Let's take a break" Lay announced a break after their 5th rehersal. Everyone withdrew from their respective instrument and went to a large sofa to rest. 

"Ne, Seohyun-ssi, our band is not well known in the place where you were from, right?" Kai asked as the quiet lady responded by shaking her head

"I guess we're not that popular huh? well I blame the leader for that" Chanyeol crossed his arms over his head as he leaned back to the sofa

"Yah, what are you implying?" Kris glared dagger at Chanyeol as he moved his wrist in a circular motion

"Neh, Seohyun-ssi, why are you so quiet? Don't be shy, we don't bite" Lay smiled at the young lass but he got a cute shrug as a respond. Lay gave her a confused look

"It's because she's mute" Kris said before Luhan can

"How did you know?" the 'Fake' couple once again said in unison with the exception of Seohyun's mouthing.

"I noticed..." Kris said as a short reply

Kai faced the younger woman as he said something in sign language. Seohyun (cutely) tilted her head to the side as she shot him a confused look. Kai continued to do strange gestures that she couldn't understand until Kris stopped him

"Stop that. She doesn't understand sign language" Kris pulled the younger boy's hand down. As a keen observer, Kris was able to tell that she was indeed mute and doesn't understand sign language at the same time. He could tell that something happened recently that made her voiceless.

Kris went closer and looked her in the eyes. With a serious expression, he asked a weird question.

"What's your favorite kitchen appliance?" The question sent Seohyun and his bandmates to laughter. 

"It's ok. Try to talk, I'll read your lips" Kris didn't mind his band mate's hysterical laughter. Seohyun abide and mouthed a two syllabel word.

"Toaster?" She nodded cheerfully at Kris' correct answer

"Woah! So does that mean that you can understand each other?" Lay asked in an amazed manner

Kris nodded and continued to question the young lady. The two of them began a conversation that only the two of them could understand. Four boys raised four brow as they watch them with confusion.

"Yah, what did she said?" Luhan asked curiously

"She said that her name is Kim Seohyun, she's the youngest daughter of nine and she live by an island far from here. She said that she can't tell the exact location because it's dangerous. She ran away from home because she wanted to meet someone and..." Kris wasn't able to finish his sentence and looked from Seohyun to the boys with hesitation

"And...?" Chanyeol asked as he crossed his arm

"Uh... should I say it?" Kris asked Seohyun for permission. She nodded proudly

"Meet someone and fall inlove..." Kris said as soon as she nodded her head

"Aren't there anyone else in the island you were from?" Luhan asked as he placed a finger on his chin

Kris stared at Seohyun's moving lips as she mouthed her answer

"She said that it was just her sisters and her in that island, she didn't left the island since she was born wait... isn't she your acquaintance? How come you don't know?" Kris raised a brow

"Uh... to tell you the truth, we really don't know each other. I just met her last night by the beach" Luhan scratched the back of neck

"Is this true?" Kris asked her. She replied shortly after a nod

"She said that you saved her last night..." Kris translated

"Wait... How did you know how to read someone's lips?" Chanyeol asked

"He had hearing problems when he was a kid so he learned how to read lips and sign language. Since we live under the same roof, all of us learned to do sign language for his sake" Kai answered. He and Kris are cousins and they lived with their grandmother when they were young. 

"Oohhhh... So that's why you can endure Tao's snores when you were still roommates" Lay exclaimed

Tao was HEA's original drummer. He used to play for the band until Chanyeol came, he later on withdrew from HEA because of some issues and started a band on his own.

"Well... enough of that, let's start practicing again." Kris announced as he stood up from his seat. 

"My throat's already sore let's just practice tommorow" Luhan complained

"No" Kris coldly said and went to his place. The others followed half heartedly

As the session began, the studio was filled with a powerful band music. HEA indeed has very talented members, from the bass guitarist to the vocalist, everyone was doing a great job. The intro was about to end and Luhan wad getting ready to sing. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath before singing his first line, but unfortunately, someone forgot to turn off his or her phone

*BEEP*BEEP*BEEP* 

A loud beeping sound interrupted the whole studion which caused the boys to stop playing.

"Damn it! Who the hell is that this time?" Chanyeol impatiantly said as he threw his drumstick awaywith force

"It's mine" Kris raised his right hand and took out his Iphone 5 and checked the caller id. As soon as he saw it, he abruptly took of the bass' strap from his shoulder and headed outside

"I need to take this" He said before going out of the room. Everyone but Seohyun were furious, how come he can interrupt the practice and they can't?

"Why is he always like that?" Lay asked rhetorically as he placed his guitar back to it's stand in a tired manner. They've been practicing for six hours straight since this morning without taking a break, four hours is ok but six is just too far. Everyone is tired, Kris was literally pushing them to try harder eventhough they still have approximately 60 days before the concert. Kris is the kind of leader who is discipline and a perfectionist and the whole band know it better than anybody else.

"It's so unfair. Eventhough he's the leader doesn't mean he can do this to us" 

"We really can't do much about it. He's the boss" Luhan shrugged 

"Neh, Seohyun-ssi! Do you play any instruments?" Kai asked out of the blue to the quiet lady whose sitting on the sofa. She nodded and slowly mouthed the word 'piano' so that Kai could read her lips

"Really? Wow! Can you show us?" He said as he pointed to the keyboard from across the room. She then got up from her seat and went to the keyboard 

She placed her slim fingers on top of the piano keys and took a deep breath before playing. A beautiful melody filled the room as soon as her lovely hands started to dance from key to key, she played a very wonderful tune but it sounded oddly familiar to a certain boy named Luhan. He closed his eyes as he tried to remember the tune, it sounded like something that he had heard recently but he really can't remember.

As if on cue, Kris entered the room as soon as the song ended. He looked like he was on a hurry

"Guys I need to go and do some errands. You guys can continue practicing or whatever you want to do... oh and Seohyun, do you have any plans for today?" Kris asked as he hurriedly kept his bass guitar to it's case. Upon hearing the question, Seohyun immediately looked at Luhan as if she was asking for permission. Luhan then nodded with hesitation, he wasn't really sure what to do with her today so he just let her go with Kris.

The cheerful girl then shook her head energetically. Kris smiled as he slinged his bass guitar to his sholder. 

"Then can you come with me to day?" 

"Yah! She can't" Kai abruptly objected

"And why is that?" Kris coldly rose a brow at the tan boy

"W-well because she's going with me! r-right? Seohyun-ssi?"

"Yah! Jongin-ah, let's just go to the bar and let her go with him. You need to take a break, stop flirting with girls will yah?" Chanyeol said as he rested his long arms to Lay and Kai's shoulders 

"Y-yah..." Kai's tan cheeks began to color a bright shade of pink

"Well... Let's go then" Kris pulled her out of the studio. 

He lead her to his black sedan and began to drove away

"Where are we going?" She mouthed at him 

"You'll see" He smiled warmly at her. Seeing a warm smile on his cold looking features, she couldn't help but to blush. He really looks handsome when he smile 

"So uh... since when did you lost your voice?" Kris said as he ran his fingers through his blonde locks and switched his gaze from the road to the girl on the passenger's seat

She shook her head and mouthed something that says she's not sure. 

"Is that so? How did Luhan found you?" 

"He saw me unconsious at the shore..." She mouthed slowly. He nodded his head at her as the discussion ended with a comfortable silence. Seohyun then switched her gaze to the window. Eventhough she was still fascinated about the things that she can see through the window, she can't help but to think about the life she left on that castle. She can't help but to wonder if her sisters were woried about her. More importantly, she wondered what happened to Kyungsoo. Did her father knew that Kyungsoo was the one who snuck her out? Little by little, she began to worry.

"We're here" Kris announced and broke her train of thoughts. He pulled his car over a small building which seems to be a school, she then felt excited because she knew that she will be meeting children. According to a book her tutor gave her, schools are where children learn. It's not that she never saw a child before or anything, she just felt excited. In fact, she even grew up taking care of their servants' little sons and daughters since they were busy. 

"C'mon" Kris said as he opened the car door for her. Kris noticed her difficulty in walking with high heels so he helped her by letting her cling into his arms. 

As they neared the building, Seohyun could clearly see the sign on top of the gate of the small school.

"Jageun cheonsa school for the deaf and mute"

They entered a quiet building. Footsteps were only heared as both of them walked by the corridor. Kris took her to a classroom by the end of the hallway. A girl in her early twenties was in the middle of teaching children as they enter, she was making strange hand gestures to the children who quietly observed. They were communicating in a peaceful silence until the girl's high-pitched voice chirped upon seeing Kris by the door way

"Kris-Oppa! You're here" She smiled warmly as her voice echoed throughout the room. As if hearing their young teacher's voice, the children turned their heads towards the door way. Smiles were automatically formed in their small faces as they saw Kris. They ran to him and surrounded him with hugs. Kris smiled for the second time that day.

"Looks like they missed their Teacher Kris so much huh?" The young girl giggled
