Tae-in and Mu-gi had been through a lot. Mu-gi lost his hearing during a difficult breakup with his ex-partner. Tae-in didn't abandon him, even when Mu-gi began to feel self-loathing during moments of hearing loss and realization. Mu-gi was a strong man, but hearing loss and the sight of his hearing aids left him nervous and tormented by his thoughts. A couple of years passed after the injury. Mugi began living with the kind-hearted Taein. Taein supported his beloved all the time, learning sign language with him.

On Mugi's birthday, Tae-in organized a small celebration, and in the evening they retired to a restaurant. When the waiter brought out the cake, Mugi recognized the man as the bastard who had taken away his hearing, who had robbed him of the chance to study at the academy, who he could have become if not for him. Mugi's fingers trembled on the glass. His chest tightened, and dark spots swam before his eyes. He wanted to disappear, just to avoid feeling this sticky horror from his difficult past.

Taein noticed everything instantly. He squeezed Mugi's hand tightly, but not painfully. He ran his thumb over his knuckles, bringing the owlet back from that horror to reality. Catching his beloved's gaze, he said softly, but with the confidence that always made Mugi's shoulders relax, " Don't be so gloomy, little owl. You and your holiday are important now. The rest will happen tomorrow, okay?"

The waiter placed the cake and quietly left. For him, it was just another order. Mugi had no problems with Tae-in, which made him look better. The waiter didn't even recognize Mugi. Because in his relationship with him, the guy looked worse than death. The constant abuse and breakdowns were taking their toll.

Mugi was extremely shy about speaking; the words stuck in his throat and seemed foreign. But with Taein by his side, the fear receded. The boy smiled tenderly in response and gently squeezed his hand under the table. In a silence that no one but them understood.
