I can't hear you [IU x female reader]

3.

It has been around 2 weeks since that incident. I want to talk to her but my self-esteem won't let me. And she didn't make any efforts to talk to me either. So.... I guess that is that.

The usual. I was in class when the teacher said she was going to announce our chapter test marks.

Long story short, I got the lowest marks. Well, with Y/N distracting me and my mind filled with that incident, I was bound to lose some marks.

But got me shocked was that Y/N was the first this time. The irony. She took my place. Well, good for her. And what was more shocking was that the girl that always hung out with her was the second place. She always got average marks and see her now. Was it because of Y/N?

I guess the teacher had the same thought because she said that I should get it explained from Y/N as I was only behind in this chapter. I wanted to refuse but I was indeed behind in this chapter and it was because of Y/N. so, her teaching me this chapter would make us equal.

Teacher gave me her number so that I can contact her. I complemented on whether I should call her or not.

Eventually, I decided to do it. But before I could call her, I got a call from an unknown number. I accepted it accidentally so I just decided to speak.

"Hello?"

"Am I talking to Ji Eun?"

"Yes but who are you?"

"Oh! Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. I am Y/N. teacher gave me your number so I could help with the chapter. Actually, I have seen you quite a times in class and my friends told me that you were the class first. So, I was quite shocked to know that it was you who I had to tutor."

"So, you don't want to?"

"it's not like that. I just didn't expect that it would be you. And I am actually free right now. Should we do it now?"

"Your house or mine?"

"Can you come over to mine? I am too lazy to walk to your house."

I couldn't help but giggle at her cuteness.

"Ok then. text me your address. I will be there in a few minutes."

Time skip

I reached the address she gave me. I guess she is quite loaded. I rang the bell and someone else opened the door. She didn't look like Y/N, but shared a few similar features. Maybe her sister? Now, it will be so awkward if she didn't inform them that I would be here.

The girl gave me a look and I knew that she hadn't.

"Umm. Well, I am Y/N's classmate. She called me here."

"Oh. Okay, come in."

She called Y/N but got no response. Mumbling something, she told me to wait in the living room and went upstairs.

After a minute or so, Y/N and the girl came down. Y/N came towards me while the other girl headed outside.

"Hana!"

Must be that girl's name.

Y/N answered, "Mom, she went to her house to do something urgent. But she said that she can still sleepover."

Oh, so she wasn't Y/N's sister.

"Your girlfriend is so thoughtful," her mom replied.

Girlfriend?

Y/N just chuckled, shaking her head at her mom. She didn't care that I knew her sexuality now?

Does that mean I have a chance now? Or should I be sad that she is not single?

Time skip

Now, I know how that girl got second place. Y/N was really strict.

The lights suddenly went out. We were kind of sweating so Y/N kind of pulled her hair up and put in a bun. She always had this hairstyle where her hair covered her sides of the face either side. Now I can finally see her full face-wait, what is that?

"What is that?" I asked her pointing at that.

It resembles that Bluetooth headset but without the microphone.

I could see the panic in her eyes as she tried to reply, "this is -this is a hearing aid. Can you -can you please not tell anyone at the school about this?"

"what!?" was my only thought.
