Author's Notes

"I am not deaf, but loss of hearing and deafness runs in my family (and is something I am experiencing already myself) so I was able to do my own research with my family members while writing this (which btw was an amazing experience). anyways, hope you enjoyed reading!"[1]

Summary

"Jisung cleared his throat, a sudden feeling of embarrassment coming over him. He stared at the paper cup in his hands as he spoke. 'So you're really nice and all, and your cocoa is amazing, but the whole lip thing— I can see you staring when I talk and I just wanted to say it's kind of uncom-'

'Uh sorry, strange question, but could you look up at me?' Minho suddenly asked. 'I need to read your lips or else I can't really understand what you're saying.'

aka Jisung asks barista Minho to stop staring at his lips, not realizing Minho is deaf, and kind of has to.
Minho thinks Jisung's lips are pretty"[1]

Writing Style

Quotes

Turns out Jisung is crying, but only a little bit. One or two more tears have slipped out since Minho hugged him. Jisung looks down and wipes them away, laughter coming out in breathy gasps as he sniffles and tries his best to look okay, and not like his entire world had just been imploding less than five minutes before.

Fifteen minutes later and Jisung’s heart has yet to calm itself, and if you were to look closely, you would see that Jisung’s lips are slightly more red than usual. His lower lip tingles as he runs his tongue over the seam of his lips. The taste of Minho’s peach soda is there, and he feels a small burst of satisfaction.

Reception

Reactions and Reviews

both of my parents are deaf and like i don't usually like reading fics like this bc they always get it drastically wrong. neither of my parents feel bad about being deaf and I don't think I've ever met someone who does yet fics ALWAYS make it out like being deaf is the worst thing


it's not. so i really liked your writing and gosh i hope you have a good day.

Oh my god that was the cutest thing I've read in a while. This story really resonated with me as I'm planning on studying Audiology, so I have to get integrated with the community. This story was very eye opening and gave me a perspective I've never had before so THANK YOU
