Breakfast was quiet. Mainly for Haerin since she still could not hear and Yoongi wasn't saying anything louder than Regular Speech that morning.

They were booked to meet a specialist in a few minutes to discuss their bond.

On the breakfast bar, she sat alone eating a bowl of cereal she made herself as she didn't want anyone to cook for her.

Her head still hurt.

'Did you make any progress last night? :P'

Haerin looked up from the note that was just stuck near her bowl to see someone with brown permed hair and a large sweatshirt on, sitting across her on the breakfast bar.

The person looked up from the note they handled to her, and gave Haerin a wide boxy smile.

Taehyung.

She recalled the members being given a stack of sticky notes each to communicate with her and Yoongi.

Then she cleared her throat and replied, hoping her voice sounded bearable,"Not really... just a little bit."

He nodded and replied.

'Oki ^.^'

Haerin giggled at Tehyung's cute friendliness.

He continued to write.

'You should smile more ^v^'

'How come you don't smile a lot?'

She rested her spoon back in her bowl and took the pen from his hand.

'Well... I'm still a bit confused, but I'll smile for you.'

And as Haerin promised, she gave Taehyung her biggest smile, and laughed.

He smiled too, then replied.

'That's more like it!'

'It's alright, you'll figure everything out soon.'

She tilted her head in awe, "Thanks, Taehyung."

'Please bear with Yoongi-hyung.'

'I think he's just confused too.'

Haerin read it, and knew he was referring to Yoongi's attitude towards her.

'I'll try.'

The mention of Yoongi also reminded her she need to get ready to see the specialist.

'I have to go now.'

'It was nice talking to you.'

She handed him the note, and he mouthed, 'You too,' back, and walked out the kitchen.

Haerin's smile disappeared though, as she remembered messages from the day before;

'Are you stupid or something? I'm not talking.'

'Did you just call me weird?'

'And again, I'm not talking.'

She wondered what she did to make Yoongi dislike her so much, all she ever did was say that she didn't have a soulmate, which she partly still believed was true.

Haerin shrugged off the thought.

He was being rude to her... and being the stubborn person she is, of course she was going to be rude back.

They were both stubborn.

Even though she was acting the same back, she was disappointed that she got off the wrong start with him... such an admirable person who she was so excited to see, at least she had already started to make friends with Taehyung. She had one person to stick around with during her stay.

Haerin spotted manager come out of a room, and ran up to him holding a note.

'What time do they arrive?'

He got out a stack of his own sticky notes from his pocket, and started writing.

'A few minutes, let's go to the office room.'

He nodded, and he continued writing.

'How was your sleep?'

Haerin thought back to the night before. Having to stay around Yoongi and be at the dorm for appointments, it would require her to stay nights over as she didn't live in the area, aka, the rich neighbourhood. So she stayed in the guest room, with some clothes and supplies that were supplied for her, so by this time the bump on her head lowered to a small bruise.

'Alright.'

'It was good because there was no noise keeping me up.'

She joked but then thought, It's not that funny ㅠㅠ

Manager slightly smiled then sighed, handing her a note.

'Let's get going so we can figure out what's going on with you.'

Haerin nodded then followed down the hall.

They arrived in the room, and Yoongi was already there.

He looked up expectedly at Haerin, then turned his gaze back down to the sticky notes in his hands once she made eye contact.

Someone's acting weird.

She sighed, and took a seat next to him on the couch, this time, not on the opposite side.

Manager then handed them a note.

'Wait here, I'll go to the door to get the specialist.'

They nodded and he left.

'Did you sleep well?'

Haerin looked at the sticky note on her lap, this time, green. She turned her head to Yoongi, confused at his sudden kindness and raised a brow before replying.

'Yes, you?'

He split his stack and gave her one half, then wrote.

'Yeah, it was quiet enough.'

A small grin was visible on her face, and she decided to tell him the sad joke she told manager earlier.

'Same with me, it's great 'cause I can't hear anything.'

He gave her a face like 'you think you're funny?' then wrote back.

'Actually, I could slightly hear, it was just very faint.'

'In my head, I could also hear you crying.'
