TRIGGER WARNING:
[ sensory sensitivity/spd (sensory processing disorder) ]

♡

You panted as you came to a halt at the bus stop, just as you noticed the bus turning the corner onto your street. You planted your hands on your knees and took a few deep breaths, pouting when a pair of shoes entered your line of sight.

"Babe, how are you so out of breath? You only jogged a few houses down the street," Jiwon teased with a soft chuckle, poking your sides with her fingers.

You playfully slapped her shoulder and huffed dramatically when she kissed your cheek lovingly.

The both of you looked up when the bus stopped in front of you and the other kids at the bus stop. You pulled out a pair of noise-canceling headphones and put them on as you and Jiwon stepped onto the bus.

For as long as you can remember, you've had sensitive hearing, and loud and constant noises overwhelm you to seemingly no end. You have no idea what's caused it or how it came to be, but it's always been a pretty big problem. For a while in your childhood, no one knew how to deal with it, but in recent years, you were given your headphones, which you never leave the house without. You're extremely grateful for them.

You were pulled out of your thoughts when Jiwon rested her head on your shoulder and intertwined your fingers.

After a few seconds, once everyone had boarded the bus and sat down, you were all on your way to school.

As soon as you walked into the school, you were met with hundreds of students all around you. In the halls, in the cafeteria across from you, and walking up and down the stairs at either of your sides. There was a lot of bustle. That's why you're immensely thankful for the headphones. They block out most of the noise for you.

Your heart fluttered (as it usually does) at the feeling of Jiwon's hand still holding yours tightly. Her grip was secure and protective as she led you into a hallway and towards your lockers. When you reached them, you and Jiwon moved quickly, grabbing your required items for your next few classes, and putting up what you don't yet need.

As you were doing this, the boy next to you slammed his locker shut. The sudden loud noise-which was loud enough to be heard, regardless of your headphones-caused you to jump in your skin. This is something that happens everyday, yet it never fails to scare you. Sometimes you feel like he does it on purpose.

Jiwon was quick to rub your back comfortingly. As she did so, she glared at the back of the boy's head as he walked away nonchalantly.

"It's okay," she murmured before kissing your forehead. You nodded and exhaled softly.

The both of you then picked up your belongings, before taking off to go to your homeroom, which you thankfully had together-the same actually goes for all of your classes. You share the same schedule entirely. The administration was kind enough to allow you and Jiwon to take the same classes, seeing as you often felt panic at school, and the staff here wanted you to be as comfortable as possible.

♥︎

It was now later in the day, fourth period (the last period) to be exact, and you were sitting in your art class when it happened.

The fire alarm suddenly went off, making your skin crawl. Since it's the middle of class, your headphones were stowed safely in your mini art locker on the other side of the classroom. The shrill, repetitive sound of the alarm made you tense up, sending shivers down your spine. It felt so much louder in your ears than in everyone else's.

Without a second thought, as soon as she saw the first flash of light from the fire alarm, Jiwon was already out of her seat and rushing to your art locker. Since it didn't have a lock, she was almost instantly in possession of your headphones. And she didn't waste any time in running to you, concern written all over her face.

After placing the headphones over your head, she wrapped an arm around your shoulder and helped you stand up. Soon, the two of you were standing outside of the school, quite some distance away, surrounded by your class and others.

"Everything's okay," Jiwon murmured, hugging you tightly.

You nodded slowly, holding her just as tightly as was.
