~Jooheon~

When I turned around again Kynnie was no longer standing in the same spot as before. He stood in front of the cupboard instead and looked inside. The look on his face told me that he could not find what he was looking for. He pointed to my clothes and then to his and I understood immediately that he wanted me to change my clothes as well to feel more comfortable. I smiled at him, showed him a thumb up and disappeared briefly into my room to change. When I came back into the guest room, Changkyun was already sitting on the bed, wrapped in the big fluffy blanket.

~Changkyun~

I patted the bed next to me in the hope that Jooheon would sit down next to me. That's what he did a few seconds later. The bed was sinking under his weight and I was sitting at an angle, struggling to not fall into his lap. He wrapped an arm around me and pulled me close to him. He used his free hand to rub through my hair with his knuckles.

Then he grabbed both my shoulders, turned me in his direction and made a sleep gesture with his hands. He wanted me to lie down. When I thought about it, I realized how tired I was from the whole day so i did what he wanted and lay down. He covered me and stayed sitting next to me and stroked my head a little. His hand on my head calmed me down so much that it didn't take long before I fell asleep.

As I woke up again it was already dark outside but the door to my room was opened a bit so some light came in. I sat up and rubbed my eyes beforeI stood up and walked out of the guest room. A good smell lured me into the kitchen, where I watched Jooheon cooking some food. He was so busy with stir frying something in a wok, that he didn't notice me. I didn't want to startle him so i knocked on the doorframe and waited for him to look up at me.

He turned his head around and smiled at me with the warmest expression i've ever seen. I blushed a bit because he was really cute. One of his hand showed me where to sit on the table, so I sat down and waited for Jooheon. A few minutes later Jooheon placed a plate with rice and some vegetables in front of me. This time I was the one who almost drooled because it smelled and looked so good. Honey sat down in front of me and started eating from his plate. I did so too.

The portion was bigger than expected I fought with myself to eat everything. As I finished the plate I leaned back into the chair and let out a loud sigh. It was hard to breathe because I ate way too much food. But it simply was impossible to leave some food. Jooheon placed the plates in the sink and took me by the hand to lead me into the basement, where his hobby room is. He showed me some notes sticked on our communication wall. As i looked closer i recognized our conversations from the hospital.

I read a few messages and had some flashbacks. I am so happy to call Jooheon my friend. Never ever i had a friend like this. He stayed by my side the whole time and still does. I really want to make him a present to show my gratitude towards him. Jooheon wrote a message while i was busy with my thoughts.

"I'm a bit tired and want to lay on the couch for a little bit. You can join me or you can continue your graffiti, if you prefer that."

"Ok, I'll do a second graffiti next to my bee graffiti. :)"

Jooheon laid down on the couch and watched me spraying on the wall. I hummed my favourite song again and he joined me. My hand with the spray can fell down, just like my chin. Wait. H-he joined me! I heard his humming again but i was to afraid to turn around. I was too afraid to suddenly hear him no more, like last time, so I tried to hum and listen to his humming. His humming sounded wonderful. My eyes filled with tears and my humming crackled. My throat hurts. How is it possible? Why can i hear him?

I could not suppress a sniff. My humming merged into crying. Warm tears streamed down my face as i listened to Jooheon, who still hummed the song. It seems like he hasn't noticed me crying yet, so I stayed like this and just listened to him. But suddenly his humming grew louder until i felt him hugging me from behind, his head rested on my left shoulder. He took my hands and caressed them while still hugging me. As he finished the song he opened his mouth next to my ear and i was able to hear it. I was able to hear him!

"Stay like this. And listen to me. Just remember the melody and the words, okay?" Jooheon whispered into my ear. He knew what was going on. He knew that I was able to hear him so he started singing a song right next to my ear. I got goosebumps as I listened to his beautiful voice.

♪ 𝐵𝓎 𝓂𝓎 𝓈𝒾𝒹𝑒, 𝓈𝓉𝒶𝓎 𝒷𝓎 𝓂𝓎 𝓈𝒾𝒹𝑒, 𝒷𝒶𝒷𝓎 ♪

At this moment I was glad that there was no such proverb like 'blinded by beauty' for 'too beautiful voices that make you deaf'. Cause I'm sure I'd be deaf by now if this was possible. But then I remembered that I'm actually deaf. If the situation had been different I would have laughed because of my dumb thoughts but I was still crying in streams.

♪ 𝒮𝑜 𝒾𝓃 𝓁𝑜𝓋𝑒 𝓌𝒾𝓉𝒽 𝓎𝑜𝓊𝓇𝓈𝑒𝓁𝒻 ♪

I was so afraid to turn around after he finished the song but I wanted to see his face, hug him bury my face into his shoulder and cry my eyes out while listening to his voice. I freed myself from his grip, turned around and looked into his face.
