"Holly!" I call out for Yoongi's dog. Since I'm blind, my roommate, Yoongi has trained his dog, Holly as a service dog.
"You going out, Jin-hyung?" Yoongi asks.
"Yeah. Would you mind grabbing my sunglasses, and cane?" I ask. I feel something cold hit my hand. My cane. "Sunglasses?"
"You must've left them at Tae's." He says.
"Shit." I sigh. "I'll pick some new ones up from the store."
"I won't be here when you get home." He says. "But Jungkook will stop by, to check on you."
"Alright." I say. "I'll see you later."
Holly leads me out the door, and down what I assume is the sidewalk.
"We're going to the supermarket." I say to him. I can feel people's eyes on me, probably staring at my eyes.
I keep my head low, and continue to walk down the street. Holly barks once, telling me to turn right. I turn right, and walk into a building, closing my eyes so people don't get weirded out. I set my cane next to the door, an allow Holly to lead me down the aisles.
"Welcome back, Seokjin." One of the employees say. "Do you need any help?"
"No, that's okay." I smile. "Holly will help me."
He leads me down a few more aisles, before I accidentally bump into someone.
"Watch where you're going!" The man exclaims. "And make sure your dumbass dog doesn't trip anyone."
"Well, that's very rude of you!" I scoff.
"I'm telling you to watch out. What's so rude about that?!" He asks.
"I'm blind, dipshit!" I exclaim, opening my eyes. "This dog is a service dog!"

The man is silent. Or he's already left. Holly barks again.
"Just...think before you speak next time. If you're even there." I sigh, and continue walking. I've always been sensitive about people's opinions. If they say something rude, or make blind jokes, I get very emotional.
"Checkout, Holly." I say. He leads me to a register.
"Will that be all for you, today?" A lady asks.
"Yes ma'am." I smile, keeping my eyes closed. "Thank you."
"No problem." She smiles. "And Seokjin, stop closing your eyes. Don't be ashamed."
I smile slightly, and walk out the door. I'm about a block away, before I remember my cane.
"Go back, Holly." I sigh. Someone bumps into me as I turn around.
