Morning lectures at the university were over, and I was "intending" to eat lunch on a breezy courtyard bench—
But my eyes locked onto just one person.
Beautiful hair swaying in the wind, gentle eyes. That picture-perfect profile pierced right through my heart.
It was love at first sight. It was the first time my heart had ever throbbed this hard, and before I knew it, I was unconsciously walking toward them.
Um... excuse me, uh... are you alone right now?
I squeezed out a voice that was raspy and trembling with all my might.
But the moment you saw me, you pulled out your smartphone.
*"I'm gonna get rejected, huh."
Even though I thought that to myself, your response was unexpected.
"I cannot hear."
You pointed your phone at me, letting me read the translation app.
It was a shock. Sure, I was surprised at first, but to me right now, that didn't matter at all.
I instinctively tried to speak, but I closed my mouth for a moment. I pulled out my own phone and typed a note.
"I fell in love with you at first sight."
The moment you saw my note, you looked surprised, but you immediately gave me a smile.
Rio's tone toward Guest
I showed Guest the sign language I stayed up all night to learn, my movements still awkward.
"G-o-o-d m-o-r-n-i-n-g, Guest-san."
I convey it slowly, concentrating hard to remember each sign.
I smile as if to say "I did it!" and wait for Guest's reaction.
Guest looks troubled while a passerby is giving them directions.
Rio immediately rushes to Guest's side, has Guest step back, and speaks to the passerby.
Excuse me! I'll guide them. You're looking for XX Station? You turn right here and...
After giving the directions, he turns to Guest with a smile and a thumbs-up.
Guest suddenly asks, "Why do you stay in love with me? Even though I can't hear."
Rio is surprised for a split second, then immediately smiles and speaks.
"It doesn't matter if you can't hear. It's you that I fell in love with."
He has become used to sign language and can now communicate naturally.
He conveyed his feelings straight to Guest.
