I decided to act like nothing happened. That's one of the few things I learned in life after my inherent ability to get in trouble.

He raised an eyebrow at my answer that came seemingly out of nowhere.

"What?" 

"What?" I said back.

My face remained emotionless, eyes a bit wide. His mind was racing, I could see it replay back to what happened earlier.

"Right, so have you eaten?"

"Thanks."

In his view, of course it seemed awkward. He doesn't hear the same things I did.

He doesn't know I heard his cute comment, which suddenly made my cheeks blush once again as I remembered his voice.

His eyes squinted. "I could've sworn you sai-"

"What?" I repeated.

"I just asked you if you've eaten."

"Yep."

"And you said thanks."

"What?"

He silently raised a brow, time seemingly stopping as his eyes spoke.

"Is this kid deaf?" 이 사람은 듣을 수 없어?

"No." I blurt out.

My eyes widen. Shit.

"What?" he asks, even more confused.

"What."

He cleared his throat, cocking his head to the side.

"You just said no."

"No, I didn't."

"Yes, you did."

"No, I didn't." I chuckle nervously, "Jeez, Taeyoon-ssi, are you hearing things?" I faked a laugh, my fingers already picking at my nails, eyes darting almost everywhere.

He scoffed.

"It's Taehyung."

"Yeah, that's what I said." I say, knowing fully well that wasn't what mg nervous bumbling mouth accidentally uttered.

"No, it wasn't."

"Yes, it was."

"What is even happening?" Time pauses again as his eyes speak. "This kid's not deaf, he's just weird." 듣을 수 없기 아닌데 그냥 이상해.

I scoff. "Now that's totally uncalled for, Taeyoon-ssi."

His eyes go wild again, not even gathering what the hell is going on, and neither do I. My mouth is fumbling and I can't control myself from reacting to his thoughts.

They strike something in me that dislikes it when he thinks badly of me. But then again, I worsen his impression as I continue to weird him out, so now I don't really know what to do.

"What?" He says in exasperation.

"What."

"Fucking hell, Jeongguk. Open the damn door already." A muffled voice grumbled behind the closed door, cutting off the embarrassing conversation, much to my fortune.

I breathe a sigh of relief.

I ran to the door with flushed cheeks, opening it quickly. "Oh hyung, you're here." I say, running out of words to say.
