Love is Mute - SooLia

Jisu

It's been a week since I joined here, and honestly, even though Hyunjin and Soobin seemed like they were friends for a lot longer, they never let me feel left out.

"So Jisu, what are you studying? " Soobin asked. Arts I gestured as he nodded his head. "What did she say?"
Hyunjin asked, making Soobin translate it to him. "I remember Arin saying she felt drawn to taking arts, saying she had some sort of prophetic dream about it"."Wait" Hyunjin chimed in " I didn't know she was studying arts".

"Cause she isn't. She drew a hybrid between a mushroom and a cockroach when I asked her to sketch an eye. She has chosen business studies now. And oh yeah, I almost forgot to tell you, Arin will be replacing me here this Saturday. I've actually got some work." Soobin informed. I remember him telling me about his sisters, both of them seemed pretty cool.

"Do you have any sibling, Jisu?" Hyunjin inquired as I nodded. An older brother. I wrote it on a tissue so that Soobin wouldn't have to translate it again. "By the way, I'll be joining y'all for ramyeon today." Hyunjin stated as Soobin replied "You better pay up then buddy. Free ramyeon wasn't a part of your deal". There was emphasis on the your. Hyunjin just rolled his eyes, playfully hitting Soobin.

Just as the three of us were about to start eating, somebody entered the store and spoke, "Forgot me already, Soobin-ah?" I looked up to see a really pretty girl with soft features smiling towards us.

Soobin awkwardly laughed as he stuttered " Of cou- of course not, haha, come have a seat. " The girl beamed "Hey Hyunjin!" she then turned to me "And hi, uh, I'm Areum, Soobin's best friend, what's your name?" She asked, looking at me as I just uneasily smiled at her. "She's Jisu, you can see it on her name tag" Hyunjin scoffed. Areum ignored him, looking at me expectantly. She probably expected me to say something and I took that as my cue before making the classic 'I can't speak' gesture.

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*

I left work a little later than usual today, and Soobin insisted on giving me a ride home. Thank you, I signalled after getting off of his bike. "Mention not. Anyways, are you free this Sunday? Maybe we can go grab a coffee after your shift?" He asked as I nodded. I just noticed his dimples when he smiled, it made him look cute, much like a giant bunny. "Text me when you reach your apartment" He said. I urged him to go, but he insisted to stay until he saw me enter the building lobby.

After opening the door, I immediately plopped on my bed before taking my phone out to text him, I put the sheets over my head as I noticed him typing back.

Jisu: I'm home :-)

Soobin: Nicee
I just reached and my sisters already started bothering me😖😑😮‍💨

Jisu: Aren't all older siblings annoying?
I'm with your sisters

Soobin:😒😗
Anyways

??

Jisu: *you're
And yeah I thought I told you already?

Soobin:👍
Let's get some bread too
Gn

Jisu:👍🥱😴

Though it was pretty evident that both of us were the driest of texters, I couldn't help but smile while chatting with him. I didn't even notice when my eyes fluttered close, still clutching my phone close to my heart.

Minho

I glared at that guy who seemed to be flirting with my sister. Jisu has definitely got some explaining to do. She didn't even consider it important to tell me about her new boyfriend. Screw new, they could have been dating for years for all I know. My anger was off the charts right now... but so was my exhaustion. So, falling on the bed was the first thing I did after reaching my apartment, making a mental note to interrogate Jisu tomorrow.

Jisu

I rubbed my eyes as I entered the living room only to be greeted by Minho giving me a death stare in his sando and boxers. He was peeling an apple. "Have a seat" he ordered sternly, stabbing the peeling knife into the apple, making me flinch.
