OPEN YOUR EYES (BLIND I) - MUSIQ SERIES PART 2

2. THE ARRIVAL

After more than seventeen hours in the air, they all finally arrived at the Doncaster Sheffield airport at around eleven in the morning UK time, but they still had a half an hour bus ride until they got to the Jang's household in Bawtry road. Compared to the long flights they had been on and paired with everyone's curiosity and amazement as they looked out of the windows to take in the scenery, that time would fly by as if it were just a mere second.

Not many foreigners visited Doncaster and much less that part of it, so everyone in the bus was visibly confused when they saw the five Asian young adults that looked like tourists from head to toe talking in Korean about everything they saw and Duyi even recording some of it, as their CEOs had instructed him so they had some content to post for the fans about the trip.

Once they reached the last stop, they all hopped of the bus and followed Axel and Heejin towards their house, which they had told them was just a couple of minutes away. Even if they were all excited, Axel and Eunae could no longer hide their happiness as they were going to see their parents in almost a year, as they had not been able to visit for Christmas.

The house was rather big compared to Korean houses but still not that impressively big. It was two stories high along with an attic and had a back garden, but it did not too big from the outside.

They had not even opened the fence -which was just a step away from the door and had flowers and neatly trimmed bushes on either side- when the door burst open and Axel's parents rushed towards their children, pulling them in a tight hug.

"My babies!" Kang Eunwon, their mother, exclaimed teary-eyed. "I've missed you so much!"

"Mom- Can't breathe-!" Axel groaned. "Seriously- Can't breathe-!"

Since the others had never met them before, they waited by the fence for either sibling to introduce them to their parents. Juiyu saw how tense Heejin was and quietly teased her about it, but she was too nervous to even mind her teasing.

"Mom, dad: these are Duyi, Juiyu and Heejin," Axel introduced them and moved his hands around a lot, but the rest could not see him as he was behind Eunae so they did not know what he was doing. "Guys, these are our parents."

"We are Kang Eunwon and Jang Kihwan. Nice to meet you," Eunwon, their mother, introduced them. "It's nice to finally meet you in person and not through a screen."

Axel's father then turned towards them and started using sign language, which confused everyone else.

"Oh, right! We didn't tell you!" Eunae said once her father finished and signed as she spoke. "My dad is deaf, so he uses sign language. If we sign while speaking to you when he is around it's so he can join in on the conversation."

"Is it Korean sign language or English sign language?" Heejin asked them.

"It depends. He knows both but the rest of us mix them sometimes," Eunwon explained.

"Nice to meet you, Mr Jang. I'm Heejin," Heejin said while signing it at the same time using the Korean sign language -alhough very slowly and hesitating with every word- leaving the rest shocked. "I only know the very basics, but I hope I can learn more while we are here."

She had learnt some of it through an online course she took a few years back and she remembered some things but, since she had not used it ever since, she was not too comfortable using it in fear that she would mess it up and say something she did not mean to.

"You have to tell me sometime how you learned it," Axel translated his father's words for Juiyu and Duyi to understand. "Just being able to say that is impressive, so don't worry about possible miscommunication."
