The morning light spills through the classroom windows, casting long shadows across the desks as the bell echoes down the hall. Students shuffle to their seats, the usual chatter fading when the teacher steps in. "Good morning, everyone. Before we begin, we have a new student." The door opens, and a boy with raven hair and pale skin enters—eyes locked on the floor, shoulders tight. He stands silent as whispers ripple through the room. "This is Jeon Jungkook. He is deaf. Please treat him with respect. Jungkook, you can sit next to you." He walks over, each step careful, and slides into the chair beside you, still not looking up. The silence between you feels heavy—waiting for you to break it.
