3 Years old
Jihyo tried to get out of her mother's grip as she walked into the building. "Jihyo will you chill out, there's nothing to worry about," Her mom said as Jihyo still squirmed. Once they made it to the front desk Jihyo's mom put her down and when to go talk to the lady who was behind it. Jihyo looked carefully at her surroundings wondering if her mother was really going to put her through this. On the other side of the room, there was a little girl was running out the bathroom ready to dance, as she was running she accidentally knocked into Jihyo making them both fall "Oww" Jihyo said looking at the girl who knocked into her. Another girl looked at Jihyo in horror and continued to apologize until the other girl's father stopped her "Mina that's enough let's go" The man grabbed the little girl's hand and pulled her out the building. Jihyo didn't know what that was about but all she wanted to do was leave. Lucky for her she missed her class so they got to leave, once they got home Jihyo ran into the house avoiding her older brother and went to her room to go play not bothered by her mother calling her.

2 weeks later
It's been two weeks since Jihyo started dance and two weeks since she saw the other little girl but she didn't really mind though. After another day of dance class, they saw a moving truck parked in the driveway of the house in front of theirs. Jihyo and her mom watched as a man and his daughter got out of the truck. It was the same girl from the dance studio. "Come Jihyo let's go introduce ourselves," her mom said as she got out the car, Jihyo followed her across the street and greeted her new neighbors. "Excuse me Hi I'm Rosé and this is Jihyo," Jihyo's mom said and pushed Jihyo behind her, she let out a small hi and his behind her mom again. The man smiled and made a hand movement and the little girl that they saw a few weeks ago showed up, "Hi I'm Keagan and this my daughter Mina" he said looking down at his daughter. Jihyo and her mom said hi but Mina didn't answer and looked at them with a confused face with made Jihyo make a confused face too. The man chuckled forgetting to tell them about Mina. "Oh, I'm sorry I forgot to tell you that Mina is partly deaf in both ears and she only knows a little bit of Korean when she does hear it." He said. This made Jihyo more confused, so she could hear or she cant? Jihyo thought while starring at Mina. Jihyo was thinking for a while but she was brought out of her 3-year-old thoughts when Mina hugged her, her first reaction was to hug back so she did. After that, her and her mom left Keagan and Mina to unpack.

Jihyo knew she wanted to be friends with Mina, over the course of 6 months the 3 year old learn that Mina is Japanese and she loves to dance a lot. Rosé or Keagan would take them to dance practice and take them to get something to eat and then take them home. Every Monday and Friday were Jihyo's favorite days.

7 years later
It was early in the morning and Jihyo was walking out her house to go to school when she was tackled to the ground "huk" Jihyo said as she hit the ground. She lifted her head and saw a giggling Mina. When they turned 5 Mina got hearing aids do to her father not having enough for them before. Though she did have hearing aids she still preferred to use sign language. So Jihyo being Jihyo learned Japanese Sign Language but because they went to a public school they both had to learn Korean sign language.

They walked to school talking about random things. Something while walking people would give them weird stares because when it would just them they would use JSL but when they were at school or with other friends they would use KSL. They arrived at that school and headed to their classroom, they entered the class and went to go sit by their friends Tzuyu and Momo. In total there are 9 of them but Momo and Tzuyu were the only ones they had classes with. "Hi guys" Jihyo said sitting down getting her stuff out for class. "Sup fuckers," Tzuyu said and Mina gasped and slapped her shoulder. "No cursing," Mina said looking around the room to see if anyone heard her. "Oh you can hear me curse but you can't hear me when I ask for help during a test" Tzuyu said playfully glaring as Mina who stuck her tongue out. Before they could really get into it their teacher came in the class and started to teach.

Few hours later
It was lunch time and Mina had just got her food she was the first one out of their group to arrived so she found an empty table and waited for the rest of the girls. While she was waiting another girl came up to her and started to speak but the lunchroom was so loud that Mina couldn't hear. Mina tried to politely say speak up but the girl got angry and starting to yell at Mina "HEY CAN YOY NOT HEAR ME ARE YOU DEAF?! I SAID MOVE MY FRIENDS AND I ARE GONNA SIT HERE SO MOVE" the girl said pushing Mina out the sit and on to the ground. Mina tried not to cry from the pain or the fact that her uniform was now ripped felt but she ended up shedding a tear and ran into the bathroom to clean herself up. As she was doing so Momo had walked in and turned to see who was crying and saw Mina.

"This girl pushed me out my seat at lunch and she accidently ripped my uniform and now I don't know what to do" Mina signed pouting. Momo told her to wait here while she went to get something, once she came back Mina was sitting on the floor sitting under the air dryer. "Here," Momo said giving Mina another uniform top. Mina thanked Momo went to go change. After that, they both went back to the lunch room where they saw their group of friends all sitting at a table.

"Where were you" Jihyo signed looking at her best friend. She only shook her head signaling she'll take her later. Jihyo nodded and continued with the conversation she was having with Nayeon. While everyone else was talking among themselves Mina kept looking the girl who had pushed her. The girl seemed to have noticed because she got up and started to walk over to Mina, which left Mina left to panic silently as she tried to get someone's attention from their table but it was too late the girl was already 2 steps in front of a trembling Mina. "What are you looking at" The girl asked looking at Mina who was too in shock to say anything this caught the attention of everyone else at the table and part of the cafeteria. "HUH" the girl yelled make Jihyo shoot up and the rest of the lunch room quiet down. "Is there a problem" Jihyo said walking in front of Mina's seat "Yea your dumbass friend here keeps ignoring me like she wants to get beat up" The growled looking at Mina behind Jihyo "One she's deaf and two who the hell you gonna beat up cause touch her and you'll be the ground in seconds try me if you want to" Jihyo said glaring at the girl. So the girl tried Jihyo

Bad idea

The girl pushed Jihyo out the way and punch Mina. This made the rest of the girl rush to Mina who was on the floor bleeding. This pissed Jihyo all the way off she tripped the girl and jumped on her back and started to choke the girl who then fell backwards making Jihyo hit her head on the table but that didn't stop her from fighting. She then wrapping her legs around the girl's waist and starting to repeatedly punch her in the face. Then the girl grabbed her fist and threw Jihyo over her and got up. Jihyo got up as well and the other girl started to throw punch and Jihyo avoid them, but she didn't miss one and was punched right in her left eye. She hissed at the pain but continued to fight the girl until Tzuyu, Jeongyeon  and two teachers had to pull Jihyo off of the other girl. Jihyo was still trying to get through to the girl who was on the floor bleeding but Tzuyu and Jeongyeon finally picked Jihyo and took her to the nurse where she needed to be treated for bleeding, scratches, a busted lip, a black eye, and a fractured forearm.

Jihyo was suspended for a week and was supposed to be on bed rest for 4 of those days. She didn't care the only thing she cared about was Mina.
