Suga or Min Yoongi could hear till an accident happened to him. He was riding his bike while listening to his favorite music but a car drove right into him and his head bumped hard onto the ground. He was in a coma for almost two months and when he woke up, he couldn't hear a thing anymore. The nurses said he became deaf and since then he had to stop singing, playing the guitar and he could never listen to music anymore. He even had to left school, he left behind. His parents didn't want him anymore, he was useless if you had to believe them. His friends left him, they didn't saw the fun in him anymore. His parents let him be adopted by another couple. They could 'speak' sign language but Yoongi didn't understand it. He prefered that people who wanted to talk to him, write on a paper so he could understand them. But no one did, everyone avoided the deaf boy. Yoongi became really innocent about himself, his body and his future, after the accident. He cried whole nights long, screaming, he didn't know how loud.

Yoongi had an own clothing style, urban and classic. He could dance really good but since he was deaf, he couldn't find a rhythm in his body anymore. His hair was light pastel pink and his skin was pale.

Today, he wore a Tommy Hilfiger sweater and a light blue skinny jeans with knee holes in it. He was in the library, reading a Novel called Please Look After Mom by Shin Kyung-sook. He took a sip from his strawberry milkshake and went on with reading.

Yoongi didn't know that a boy was standing one meter away from him. "What are you reading?" The boy asked Yoongi, trying to start a conversation. He didn't get a respond, Yoongi kept on reading his book. "Are you drowned in your book?" The boy laughed, but Yoongi didn't seem to notice him.

"Are you ignoring me?" The boy asked. He wanted to know why he didn't get a respond, he wanted to hear the voice of the boy, he wanted to see his eyes, he wanted some attention but didn't get it from the boy.

He furrowed his eyebrows and tried one more time, "What are you reading?". Yoongi saw the feet of a person who is turned towards him. Yoongi looked up and saw a blond haired boy, watching him patiently. His lips moved, but Yoongi couldn't hear what he was saying. A woman saw the blond boy trying to start a talk but she tapped his shoulders softly. "Why doesn't he respond?" The boy asked. The woman smiled weakly at Yoongi and then turned to the desperate boy, "he's deaf, he can't hear you and he visits the library often, just to do something.". The boy looked at Yoongi but he was reading again.

The woman walked away, leaving the two boys alone. The blonde sat next to him, he wanted to ask the deaf boy so many things but he didn't know how. The blonde took a notebook out of his backpack with a pen. Yoongi was still reading, ofcourse he knew that the boy was sitting next to him and he didn't care that much. Suddenly, the boy gave him his notebook with the pen. Yoongi looked confused at him and the boy points at the notebook. He had written a message for him; hey, I'm Jimin, what's your name? A woman told me that you're deaf .

Yoongi smiled at the boy, finally someone who saw him standing, someone who wanted to talk to him, someone who cared about him.
