One Less Sense

Description

JB is deaf and Sohyun doesn't care. Because he can still touch with his fingers when they hold hands. He can still taste when they go get ice cream and order chocolate and strawberry cones. He can still see the way Sohyun's eyes light up when she beats him on the Playstation 4 at their favorite game and he can still smell the shampoo from her hair, vanilla with a hint of orange.

Because not having one sense doesn't mean that he loves her any less, it just means that he can appreciate her with everything else he has.

Chapter 1: This- it's just the epitome of a great one-shot story. Great work!

Chapter 1: I don't think I've ever read anything by you before (and that's a shame, because I enjoy your writing style and how you word things), but I must say that this was a beautiful one-shot. My step-dad was legally deaf — meaning he could hear, but certainly not well, and his hearing only being at a "suitable" level with hearing aid devices — and yet, he despised them because he felt the world was a perfectly suitable place to live without hearing. I've always felt that touch was one of the most powerful senses we have, both physically (obviously) and socially. Whether that's because I grew up with a dad who preferred a quieted world, I'm not sure. But, I always enjoy reading fiction (fan works or not) with characters who experience deafness and the positive sides of it. My dad was always glad that he couldn't hear the neighbor's dog yapping (who could blame him?) and I enjoyed that he was more emotionally impacted by loud noise in movies (like gunshots or slammed doors) because his attention was never focused on small sounds (like rustling paper or the tapping of impatient fingers) so I could gush about the symbolism and impact of the events with him.

That's a lot of rambling. I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed this (and it's in his point of view! So rare!!) and that I will definitely be reading more of your writing. Fighting~!
