The Mute's Story (1)

Seokjin's POV

Hi, it's nice to share my life story with you, I'm Kim Seokjin, the first son in the Kim family, I have two younger brothers, Kim Namjoon and Kim Taehyung. My mother died after giving birth to my last brother. But we love Taehyung. His presence was like a light in our family, after my mother died, of course, my father became gloomy. My father only works as a fisherman, we live in Busan and there's not much we can do especially me as the first child.

Everyone has flaws, right? So am I, I was born mute, but my two younger brothers can all speak. Even Taehyung has a beautiful voice and becoming a musician is his dream. Whereas Namjoon, his brain is very smart, maybe because my father always gave him fish, I don't know, but he is indeed smart, he also has the same dream, to be able to study abroad and bring us all to a better place.

Like them, I also have dreams, it's just that my dreams are not as high as theirs, I only dream of becoming someone successful and accepted by many people. Since childhood, many have looked at me in the eye, because of my flaws, they think I am disabled, but I have never considered this as a disability, God created humans with the most perfect bodies, these are just my flaws, small flaws that will not hinder my life.

I wasn't surprised when I found out that finding a friend was very difficult, I realized they might have a hard time making friends with me, I couldn't talk and only used my hands to talk. Not everyone knows that language. But to be honest, I'm more comfortable alone, I can hear them but their voices don't sound very clear, yes that's what happens with a mute like me.

But I will tell my story through writing, so you can read it without difficulty. Do you want to know what will happen in my life?

***

It's my first day at college, in my favorite place, and I'm sure that campus is the dream campus of many people. But unfortunately, not everyone can go there, only those who are smart and have a lot of money can go there and I'm just a poor mute who managed to get a scholarship to study there.

For the first time, I will live away from my family, I get a room in their dormitory, and get money every month, it's enough to make me relieved because I don't have to bother my father. But I will miss them. Especially Taehyung who always sleeps with me.

But I have to do it, maybe this is the gateway for me to be successful and be accepted by many people, I just want as long as I live, I don't bother anyone. I want to stand on my own feet as I live my life.

I passed through the gate, with my heart beating very fast, I was very nervous for the first time because this was Seoul, an unfamiliar place for me, it was like a dream to be able to set foot there and last night I really couldn't sleep.

When I entered the building, I saw a lot of people there, they must all be rich people, I could see that their appearance was very good and their fragrance was different from mine. I was walking towards the administrator room, to get my class schedule for the day, and just as I was about to go inside, I accidentally bumped into someone.

"Oh shit! Are you blind? Can't you see I'm standing here?" The man said and I was speechless, what can I do?

"Are you dumb? can you apologize to me you poorly? blind and dumb, it's strange how you can be accepted on this campus," The man said and I used my hand language to apologize, then he just laughed at me, I knew this would happen but I didn't expect it to be this fast.

"Oh really? Are you dumb? Are you blind too? huh?" The man said and I just shook his head.

"Get away from me, scraps," The man passed me and bumped into my shoulder, but I can't be sad because it was my first day, I just stroked my chest and brought back the smile on my face before meeting one of them there.

And this is the beginning of my story, I hope you enjoy every word that I convey to the end
