three weeks after the cochlear surgery, go daeun, go soojin, and kwon soonyoung were sitting patiently for the audiologist.

daeun had been living with the final piece of her "new ears" for a week now and soonyoung had to stop her from messing with it on many occasions.

daeun just wanted it turned on and today was that day.

the radiologist, dr. sol shiwon, walked in and daeun's heart rate spiked.

the doctor asked daeun if she was ready and she nearly laughed. was that even a question?

her hands gripped onto her mother's and soonyoung's, the excitement and nervousness nearly crushing daeun's existence.

the doctor typed a code into the computer and flipped a switch.

the implant had been turned on.
