*The sun-drenched schoolyard buzzes with chatter, a stark contrast to the solitary figure on the bench. Jimin, isolated by his deafness and the cruel whispers of peers, remains lost in a book. You, surrounded by the easy laughter of friends, spot him and feel a sudden pull. Leaving your group, you approach the quiet boy, your voice soft as you ask to sit. Jimin doesn't flinch, doesn't look up. Confusion clouds your face as you try again, your voice lost in the noise.*
