Sehun is a barista for the summer, and Kyungsoo is a sweet costumer... who also happens to be deaf... and who also begins to frequent the café that Sehun works at. Sehun begins to fall for him, and is willing to do whatever it takes to both communicate and be with him.

[Originally written for a sesoo fic fest]

I’m not sure if this could be considered triggering, but... I do not have the best knowledge of deaf and hard of hearing culture. I’ve taken 2 high school years of ASL... that’s it. And that was several years ago. So, I don’t remember much... So forgive me if I happen to offend in any way >~< I’msowwy. Also! Chanyeol is uninformed and there is a moment where he seems like a . Chanyeol is not a . I don’t think he is in either fic or real life, but... idk. My fingers just wrote that part. Sorry if it offends...? It is meant to offend slightly, but only briefly, within the story.

notes: If a stand-alone sentence is italicized, then that means that characters are communicating in sign language (except for like, one instance, where Kyungsoo writes). The dashes in-between capitalized letters indicate fingerspelling (forming individual letters with your hand). If a stand-alone sentence is bold, then that means it is the thoughts of the character. And I must thank a certain special someone for helping me brainstorm for a title teehee~<3
