The Voice
The Rain and The Fairytale
He didn't have an errand that day, but he came to the hospital. Debating over should he enter or should he not, he decided to open the door only to found Himchan's bed was empty. He panicked mentally but it seems that his face gave him away since he caught the sight of the rain guy smiling at him, as if he's laughing internally. Daehyun felt his face heating up and managed to ask in a normal voice where could Himchan be.
The rain guy only stared at him with his usual stare and then went back to his sketchbook and scribbled something down. Daehyun felt his face reddened even more, he was being ignored. But then the rain guy held up his sketchbook for him to see. A neat writing of "he went for a stroll to the garden with Yongguk-ssi" was written there. Daehyun blinked and thanked him out of habit but something bugged his mind.
"Why did you use sketchbook, um...?"
The rain guy smiled at him and scribbled something down again, and then hold it up for Daehyun to read.
Youngjae. My name is Youngjae.Yoo Youngjae.
"Ah Youngjae-ssi, okay. Then... Err, why did you use sketchbook?"
Youngjae wrote and hold the sketchbook again.
Because I can't talk.
Daehyun looked at him in disbelief, he looked normal enough. But was this Youngjae is really mute?
"Sorry for asking," he bowed in embarrassment. But Youngjae only smiled at him and showed him the sketchbook again.
What's your name?
"Daehyun. Jung Daehyun."
Youngjae mouthed the word 'Daehyun' with no voice to himself and scribbled something down again.
Nice to meet you Daehyun-ssi. You have a nice name.
And the first thing that came to Daehyun's mind was how it would feel to hear Youngjae's voice calling his name.
