°I was enchanted to meet you²

...~Taehyung's POV~...

"You are an hour earlier" I heard Jin hyung say as soon as I entered the café and I smiled boxy like, looking at him.

"Wae you are smiling like that? Are you up to something" he asked, raising his eyebrow and I pouted.

"Ani, I just thought to read something there at the library before my work, hehe"

"Are you sure that's the reason?" ah hyung really doesn't believe my lies but whatever I ain't telling him the truth either.

"ne, then I'll go" I said with a big smile and headed to the library part before he questions me more.

When I entered there I saw, that my pretty boy is already here, as usual busy with his books. But, he's looking cuter and prettier today.

'Let's go Tae and talk to him'

'No, not right now, do you even know what you have to say to him'

'What to know in it, just ask his name and number'

'The fúck, directly number'

'Ah, he will think I'm some playboy, no?'

'Yeah, that's what pabo' I was busy debating with myself in my head when I saw Jin hyung coming there, and my eyes widened as I thought hyung is coming to take my class again but to my surprise he walked towards that unknown pretty boy and kneeled on the floor, supporting his chin on the desk what took attention of that pretty boy and he looked at hyung.

'What are they doing, exactly?' I wondered, frowning to myself as I saw hyung was doing some gestures to which he smiled, nodding his head and then I saw him doing some gestures with his hands.

'He has such a sweet smile' I thought, smiling to myself while my eyes were fixed on his every little gestures. I saw hyung giving him a small soft-toy which he took a with a smile and was giving a proper look to it, turning it up and down.

After getting done with looking at that soft-toy, he turned it to himself and then I saw him making a cute sulking face as if he didn't like it, but guess he was just teasing hyung as I can hear hyung's laugh but he was still having that look and it was adorable.

I saw hyung, slapping over his arm playfully and he broke into a big smile, a cute bunny looking smile.

'Ah, he is giving hard time to my heart' I thought pouting to myself as I kept looking at them, interacting but it made me frown how they weren't talking at all, I didn't see the boy opening his mouth to speak even once and as long as I can hear hyung, he wasn't speaking either.

"Kookie" I heard hyung finally say something, the pretty boy actually hit his hand to the table while picking up the marker and hyung stood up, calling him out by that which seems to be a nickname. Hyung took his hand into his own and blew some air on his hand, caressing it gently to which the boy smiled.

"Gwaenchanha?" I heard hyung ask, showing him an 'okay 👌🏻' sign to which he nodded, patting on hyung's shoulder as if asking him to not worry and hyung smiled, nodding his head in yes.

I saw him using some gestures again when hyung said about leaving and hyung nodded, patting over his head to which he smiled. He then got busy with his book again whereas hyung was about to leave, so I called out for him but the pretty boy didn't give any attention to it, making me frown a little.

"What is it Tae?" Hyung asked, coming up to me and I held his hand.

"I was here, you didn't give any attention to me" I said with a pout and hyung blinked, looking at me with raised eyebrows.

"I thought you had to read something so I better don't disturb but guess you are just passing the time" hyung said, looking around at the desk, I was sitting on and I smiled, pulling him close.

"Hehe, who's that boy by the way?" I asked, resting my chin to his arm and he looked at me.

"Which boy?"

"That one" I said, pointing at that unknown pretty boy and hyung followed, shifting his gaze to him.

"Jungkook?" he said in a questioning tone, looking back at me and I blinked.

"Is it his name? How you know him?" I asked with a big smile and hyung titled his head sideways, most probably he was wondering why I was asking him about that boy.

"He is Namjoon's cousin, got shifted to him few weeks ago"

"Jincha?!" I said with a surprised look on my face and looked at that boy again.

"Didn't know hyung has such a beautiful cousin"

"Owww" I yelped in pain, feeling pain in my right ear as hyung was pinching it.

"What did you just say?" I heard him ask and I winced in the pain again as I don't know what he was asking about.

"A-ah what I said? I was just asking who is he and how you know him" I said, trying to get myself free but no use.

"Not that, brat! What you said about Namjoon having a beautiful cousin" hyung said twisting my ear and I looked at him with widen eyes.

"W-when did I say it"

"Just when I told you that he is Namjoon's cousin"

'fúck my life, I said it out loud again'

"I, I didn't mean it in wrong way, please have mercy on my precious ear" I said, looking at him with big puppy eyes and he finally let go of my ear.

"Ah, can't even appreciate someone" I said with a pout, rubbing over my ear and hyung looks at me with narrowed eyes.

"I understand very well in what way you were appreciating, don't try to create any problem for him"

"Yah hyung what that even mean, I'm a good boy"

"He can't hear and speak" hyung said, looking at me with a straight face and I felt myself getting frozen on it.

"You, you are lying right?" I said, looking at hyung with sad eyes and he sighed, shaking his head in no.

"No, I'm not, he is like that since birth"

"But, but he..." I just sighed to myself, deeply not being able to speak further and I felt hyung patting over my back.

"Is he the reason you came earlier than usual" hyung asked in a soft voice this time and I nodded my head, looking down in my lap.

"Does it make you sad that the boy you liked can't speak to you, nor he can hear you" hyung asked, caressing my hairs and I looked up at him.

"It's not that" I said sadly and hyung smiled.

"Then?"

"I wanted to approach him but I don't know how to do it now" I said, looking at hyung with sad eyes and he chuckled.

"I'm sad, hyung"

"Wae? Do you still want to approach him even after knowing how is he?" hyung asked, tilting his head sideways and I pouted. Of course, I want to, it doesn't matter if he can't speak or listen to me, I just want to communicate with him somehow.

"It doesn't matter, I like him and I want to know him" I said with a determination in my voice and hyung smiled softly.

"Hmm, shall I help you with him then? But--"

"Jincha?!" I asked holding his arm with a big smile but he slapped on my forehead lightly.

"Listen to me first, brat!" hyung said and I pouted.

"Okay say say, I'm listening"

"I'll help you with him but only if you promise me to not make him feel like he lacks something or hurt him anyhow" hyung said, looking at me with a serious face and I smiled boxy like, nodding my head in yes. How can I hurt the person who makes me smile just with his mere presence.

"You can disown me if I did so" I said, smiling like a fool and hyung chuckled.

"Okay then, I'll help you, my brat" hyung said and walked away from there, leaving me confused behind.

"Where is the help he talked about" I muttered under my breath when my eyes fell on my pretty boy again.

'Aigoo (⁠ ⁠◜⁠‿⁠◝⁠ ⁠)'

Eekkk he is so fúcking adorable. I think I'll die cuz of his cuteness. I wonder how his voice would have been if he could just speak. Maybe one of the sweetest voice of this world, something like nightingales.

I was busy smiling to myself while looking at him when I felt a little hit on the top my head with something like a book and I looked up only to see Jin hyung, who was smiling at me. But the smile didn't give any good vibe to me.

"Here, take it. My first help" hyung said, giving the book in my hands and I looked down. It was a sign language book and the thickness of the book was making me feel dizzy already.

"This" I said, looking up at him and he smiled again.

"Learn it if you want to communicate with him properly"

Wah I understood wae he is giving me this smile, I hate reading.

"Do it if you like him truly or just give up, no one is going to ask you to do it" hyung said sliding the book back to him, slowly and I snatched it from him immediately.

"I'll learn it" I said, hugging the book to my chest and hyung chuckled.

"Good luck" he said and walked away, patting over my head and I sighed, looking down at the book but then I shook my head. I'm going to do it, I'll learn it for him.

'Hwaiting, Taehyung-ah!'

I said to myself and looked at him once again. It was for inspiration this time, I won't give up on him.

'Just let me learn it all, I won't let you be at peace then' I thought, smiling to myself, seeing him immersed in reading and I just got down from the desk, sitting myself on the chair. I opened the book and looked for the basic signs first. I was learning, trying to make those gestures with my hands but after some minutes I sighed as my phone vibrated in my pocket, indicating that it was time for my part-time job.

"TaeTae" I heard Jimin call and I sighed again, turning to him.

"I know, I know" I said and he smiled.

...~...

Days and weeks are passing by, and I don't leave a chance to learn the sign language, every time I'm free I'll just start to read that book hyung gave me or sometimes I will learn it online from web.

I always see him, lost in his books but he never notices my presence whereas I can't help but just look at him all the time he is present there. My eyes can't help but search for him every time he isn't there. Guess my liking is turning into love.

...~...

It's been more than a month and I'm finally done learning everything I could, to communicate with my pretty boy. I told hyung in morning that I will approach him today and he wished me luck. He asked if I wanted him to help with the introduction but I denied. I'll do it myself though I'm a bit nervous.

I'm here sitting on my usual place, staring at him. I'm actually thinking of a right moment to approach him as he looks quite lost today...like he is lost every day but today it's not his books, he is just looking into nothingness with a cute pout on his lips.

'Tae, let's do it!!' I said to myself and stood up from my seat. I took a deep breath and walked up to him. Once I reach to him, I waved my hand in front of his eyes lightly and he looked at me.

^^May I sit here with you^^ I asked using the sign language and he nodded with a small smile. I could literally feel my heart jumping out of excitement on it but I pat on it to calm down. I took a seat there in front of him, smiling to myself whereas he was looking down, touching on his side cheekbone with his hand, maybe not comfortable enough or maybe just wondering about something.

I was just looking at him, trying to think what I had to do first, when I saw him turning backwards and taking out a notebook from his bag which was hanging on the back of his chair. He placed it on the desk and took the marker from the desk. He opened the book and wrote down something on it then he turned it to me and I looked at him with a confused face, wondering what he wanted me to do and he tapped on the book.

'He is asking to read what he has written, pabo' my mind said to me and I looked down at the book with an awkward smile.

📑 My name is Jeon Jungkook. Do you have something to talk about, Taehyung-ssi? ✍🏻

I blinked rapidly with a shocked face, reading my name at the end. How he knows my name, I looked up at him with a surprised face and he was looking at me with a slight frown while a small smile was playing on his lips.

"How--" I was about to ask him how he knows my name but he tapped on the book, maybe asking me to write it instead so I did.

📑 How you know my name? Did Jin hyung tell you about me? ✍🏻

I asked through the paper and he smiled, reading it, nodding his head in yes to me.

^^Oh, wae?^^ I asked and he took the book with a pout, writing down his reply. It was cute.

📑 Cuz you have been staring at me all the time from the moment I saw you first so I wondered who were you? And then I saw hyung talking to you the other day so I thought he knew you. Later on while leaving I asked him about you and he told me, you are his younger brother. ✍🏻

'Dàmn, he noticed me' I don't know, if I should be happy knowing, that he was aware of my presence around him, or should be sad, wondering what he would have thought of me when he found me staring at him all the time like a creep.

I sighed with a pout forming over my lips when I saw him smiling his that adorable bunny smile.

^^What happened^^ I asked, and he shook his head in no, it meant nothing. I frowned and took the notebook from him.

📑 When did you see me? Every time I saw you, you were immersed in your books. And, don't take me wrong for staring at you, at first I just wondered wae you were so unbothered with your surroundings and later on, I just couldn't help it. You are too pretty to ignore. ✍🏻

"Aigoo is he blushing" I muttered under my breath, smiling like a fool myself. His cheeks were taking rosy shade while his smile didn't leave as he wrote down what he had to say.

📑 Maybe it was my 2nd day here, when I was coming here, I saw many people surrounding on a particular corner and there I saw you, you were playing the guitar so I guessed that's why they were there. And about you staring at me so it's okay, I don't mind as it's quite normal for me. ✍🏻

I blinked reading the last part. What does it mean normal for him? I thought pouting to myself when he slid the book a little, putting it in between and wrote something.

📑 As you said, I'm pretty so anyone would like to stare, no? ✍🏻

I was reading as he wrote and after getting done he looked up at me with a smile as if teasing me and I can't help but sulk, shaking my head in no.

📑 Ani, that's bad. You shouldn't let others stare at you except me ✍🏻

I saw him blink his eyes confusingly so I wrote down further. I have waited long enough already, and as he has noticed me all this time so I am just gonna tell him what I feel about him, at least he will know that I'm not some creep, I had a reason.

📑 Cuz I like you and I wish to know you better, right through you. ✍🏻

I looked up at him for his reaction but he was staring at the book. He must be shocked, it's too sudden, anyone would be. Hehe, I'm such a pabo.

'No doubt in that' my mind said to me and I sighed internally, writing down something again.

📑 I just wanted you to know what I feel about you and why I had been staring at you from the moment I saw you. Don't take me wrong, I'm not asking you to like me back or something but we can be friends right? Once you know me better maybe you will like me too. But...just in case you didn't, then too it's okay, I won't bother you with it. ✍🏻

I wrote whatever came in my mind and just put down the marker, looking up at him. I was waiting for him to write down something or just tell me with gestures but...

"TaeTae" I heard Jimin call and looked at him. Ah, it was time again. That's annoying.

📑 I will come back to you after the play, wait for me, okay? ✍🏻

I wrote down and he nodded slightly while his eyes were fixed on the notebook, so I stood up and walked away from him.

While playing the guitar, my mind was a bit busy looking at him today. I was afraid he might leave but no, he was just sitting idle, staring at those pages on which we wrote down our conversation.

Once I got done I just put down the guitar and walked to him hurriedly whereas I could hear Jimin chuckle. Well he knows about me liking Jungkook so I can understand the reason he was chuckling for.

When I reached up to Jungkook, he looked up at me and smiled a little. But before I could say something he stood up and handled me the notebook.

^^Read it, I'll see you tomorrow^^ he said and walked away, taking his bag. I wanted to stop him but I didn't. I looked down at the book and opened it, wondering what he wanted me to read in it.

I saw he had written down something in the reply of my confession from earlier.

📑 Taehyung-ssi, I like you too and I actually feel glad about the fact that you like me, but I'm not perfect choice for you as you know about me already. I'm not looking down on myself or something but I just think that you deserve someone better, who can listen to you and admire you when you practice your guitar. Someone who can appreciate you for your voice when you sing. Someone who forgets the world when listening to you. But I can't do any of it. I won't give any attention to you unless you wave your hand in front of my eyes. I won't look back at you even if you will call for me a thousand of times unless you pat on my shoulder. There are many things which I won't do or I just can't cuz of my disability and I really don't wish to make you suffer cuz of it. So, find someone better to like though I don't mind being friends with you cuz I know you are a good person. Namjoon hyung always say how good kid you are though Jin hyung has some different opinions but I know it's just sibling things, Ani? ^^ ✍🏻

"Hey, are you crying?" I heard a whisper like voice and turned only to see Hoseok hyung, brother of Jimin's boyfriend.

"I'm not" I said, closing the book and wiped away the tears with the back of my palm. It hurts. He likes me but still doesn't want me.

"Taehyung" Hoseok hyung patted on my shoulder lightly to calm down and I looked at him.

"Wae you are here?" I asked sniffling a little and he smiled.

"Just thought to meet you guys" He said and I nodded. He then took me to Jin hyung. When we reach to Jin hyung, he looked at me with a smile but seeing my dull face it dropped immediately.

"What happened Tae?"

"He was crying"

"I was not" I said looking at Hoseok hyung and he shrugged.

"I just said what I saw" He said as a matter of fact and I just left from there, sighing to myself.

'I didn't expect him to reject me like that' I thought, walking on the streets aimlessly when it started to pour down and I had to take a shelter near a convenience store.

"What a day" I muttered under my breath, looking at my feet when I felt someone holding an umbrella over me.

...~...

"Are you sure, he will accept you" Jin hyung asked in a teasing manner and I heard some people chuckle on it who are our friends respectively.

"Jin, don't discourage the kid already" I heard Namjoon hyung say.

"Kid? He is a kid? Namjoon-ah, are you sure about giving your sweet cousin to some kid" Yoongi hyung, Jimin's boyfriend said, teasing me and they chuckled whereas I rolled my eyes.

Well it's been a year me and Jungkook is dating. On that rainy day the one who held the umbrella over me was Jungkook only and when the rain stopped I walked him to Namjoon hyung's place. I was about to leave, but I couldn't and decided to tell him what I felt after reading his reply. I told him that how it was okay if he can't hear me or speak to me. I just wanted him to look at me with his that sweet smile and it would be enough for me. It didn't matter if he couldn't admire me for my talent, it would be enough if he could just admire me for my existence. And he smiled softly on it.

I told him, that instead of waving my hands in front of his face to get his attention, I would rather peck his cheek. Instead of patting on his shoulder from back to call him, I would rather hug him tightly. And trust me he was no less than a freshly bloomed roses reading those lines, biting on his lower lip continuously.

After some day he said yes to my confession and I was the happiest. All this time we have just loved and admired each other. I always make sure to not make him feel like as if he lacks something whereas he, he never disappoints me, giving me all the attention I want. In the meantime we found a new way to communicate with each other and that was tracing down the words on our palms using our index finger. Sometimes we just do it in whatever part like chest, hands, legs, arms or even back. I still remember when first time I tried to trace down my finger on Jungkook's palm, he kept taking back his hand, smiling his bunny smile. It was actually quite ticklish at first so I could understand but then we just got used to it. And that technique is only for us, I have refrained him from using it with anyone else and he complies to it, knowing my possessive nature.

Now, I can't wait more, I just want to make him mine and live with him for an eternity so I have decided to propose him for the marriage and we are doing at the library, where I first met him. Hehe, hyung did me a favor and has kept the Café close for today.

"Good luck TaeTae" I heard Jimin say with a big smile, showing me a thumbs up and I nodded.

"Thank you ChimChim" I said and they walked away from there wishing me a luck.

I heard footsteps approaching towards the library and peeked through the shelf, it was him so I walked away from there hurriedly and hid behind a shelf.

He came there and was looking around with a cute confused face when the lights went off suddenly and came back in a moment but it was dimmer than earlier, well it was our plan. There was particular something on the wall which was shining brightly and Jungkook noticed it.

'Aigoo, look at him, baby is shook'

I peeked from behind the shelf and he looked at me.

^^Will you?^^ I asked, pointing at the question on the wall and he broke into his that adorable bunny smile.

I smiled boxy like, knowing his answer and walked upto him. I took his left hand in my hold, gently and slid down the ring in his fourth finger, kissing over his knuckles to which he smiled softly and hugged me tightly.

"CONGRATULATIONS!!" I heard everyone shouting on the top of their lungs which made me flinch and Jungkook looked at me, wondering what was it so I smiled and turned him to others. They were standing at his back so he didn't see them. Once he saw them he realised what might have happened so he smiled and clapped his hands in tiny, making us all chuckle on his cuteness.

He blinked innocently and looked at me, wondering wae others were smiling like that and I just hugged him, from back, wrapping my arms around his tiny waist and he looked down with a shy smile.

"We will be going for real now, you seem to want some privacy" Jin hyung said with a teasing smile and I chuckled.

"Gomawoyo" I said, smiling boxy like and they just walked away, smiling to themselves.

I took Jungkook's hand and traced down my finger on his palm. Figuring out the words I wanted to say he smiled, bunny like and pecked my cheek, turning back to me.

"I love you too" he traced down the words on my chest with his index finger and looked up at me with a cute smile. It made me smile and I pecked his lips to which he looks at me with a bit widen eyes, making his already big doe eyes even bigger. He is too adorable.

"No wonder, I was enchanted to meet you" I said, caressing his cheeks and he looks at me with a confused face, wondering what I was saying and I just shook my head, hugging him close and he hugged me back, resting his head to my shoulder.

...~The end~...

...A/N : Hope it was okay, thank you for reading and I'm sorry if it was boring or there was any mistake, like I haven't seen deaf-mute ppl communicate for real, it's just my imagination so don't mind if something doesn't make sense to you 😅💜...
