Wordless | Hyunin

"How come you never say anything when your singing voice is beautiful? I was starting to think you were mute," Hyunjin laughs as the smaller boy in front of him flinches at his words. To Hyunjin's surprise, he gets his first vocal response from Jeongin.

"Why should I say anything when it's not really me saying these words?" Hyunjin frowns. "How can it not be you?"

Jeongin indirectly answers his question in almost a whisper. Hyunjin has to strain his hearing to make out what the younger is saying. "I hate talking, but I hate singing even more. I hate when people say I have an amazing or angelic voice."

"Why? Those are awesome compliments!"

"How is that an amazing compliment?" Hyunjin scrunches his eyebrows as he tries to find the right words. "Music is such a big part of life. If you were gifted with a good voice you can use it to spread joy, sorrow, anger, and even pleasure through music by singing. Isn't that a wonderful gift?"

Jeongin turns to Hyunjin with tears falling down his face. "That's the thing. I wasn't meant to have this gift."
