Hush

(Previously known as "The Silence".)

Talented Art student Juliette is left shattered, after witnessing the brutal death of her parents, refusing to open up and talk to any body. She was only five then. Twelve years later, Juliette still refuses to talk, but after meeting the earnest transfer student Sebastian, will her voice finally be heard?

Sebastian is as sincere as a person can get. Despite his troubled upbringing, he remains blissful and exultant - and he just might be the key to unlock Juliette's voice.

How will their friendship last if they can barely communicate with one another?
Furthermore, Juliette realizes that her attraction towards Sebastian is more than just the one of a high-school sweetheart, lasting a couple of days and then leaving. She is captivated and beguiled by his genuine attitude and wholehearted outlook on life.
But will he allow himself to be enticed by the girl without a voice, or like her heart, will their relationship be shattered?
