Seo Rin

"NO, YOU ARE LYING" Rin signs in an angry manner and holds up a comic book. "How does it make sense that cosmic girl, who can literally control EVERY BEINGS MIND, would lose against hiro, who doesn't even have proper superpowers"

Yewon rolls her eyes and answers emotionless "Hiro can shift universes, he could disappear anytime. How would you attack someone who can disappear out of nowhere?"

Subin who was sitting next to them the entire conversation interrupts annoyed "guys, I don't want to bother you…BUT THAT WAS NOT THE TOPIC"

both smile at her embarrassed. Rin looks into the papers in front of her "Right…behavioral neuroscience, so-" she gets interrupted by yewon "let's grab food, I'm hungry!" she lays her head dramatically on the table.

Subin rolls her eyes "alright, let's get something…pizza?" The other two girls open their eyes enthusiastically and nod excited.

"Alright, I'll get it…gimme 30 minutes" Subin smiles at them warmly.

Yewon frowns at her

"You just wanna see your little boyfriend! You don't care about us"

The other girl chuckles and rolls her eyes "Don't be dramatic, I haven't seen him in a week! Also his class is over in a minute so we can get the pizza together. Win win."

The other girl waves her to leave. She looks a bit annoyed but at the same time not too serious.

Once subin closes the door yewon grabs Rins arm harshly and pulls her close to her with excitement. "Oh my god!! Did you see subins boyfriends brother?? HE IS SO HOT! I mean I can't really say this in front of her but look"

yewon takes out her phone and presents a picture of the guy. Rin examines it without any expression "I guess one could say he is hot"

Yewon gasps "WHAAAAT, 'GUESS?'"

"Yeah…" Rin looks back at her notes.

"Is there seriously noone you like?" Yewon signs dissapointed at her friends answer.

"No, why do I have to like someone?" Rin whines and smashes her had against the table.

Seo Rin was a 22 years old senior in college. When she finished school she didn't know what to study, so she studied what her friends did, psychology. In the end of the day to her, having a college degree was a plus but not a must. Since her family was the fifth richest household in the entire country, even without her degree, being the heiress off her parents company would make her a multibillionaire. But because of her families big legacy, she always had to suffer with even bigger insecurities. She had 3 half siblings who were all her fathers kids from past marriages. But since her heritage deprived from her mother, she was the only heiress left. Although she had benefits like not having to worry about money and living a comfortable life, she could experience true freedom. She couldn't date whoever she wanted. She couldn't participate in activities that were not worth her time and even college was just a "hobby". She always knew that even if she wanted to study a certain subject or do something particular, she would never be able to do so. So her way to cope with it was to not want anything at all. She tried to be happy with every outcome and see the best in every situation. She also always knew that meeting her lifepartner would not be something she will experience, since it is common in wealthy families to marry for business purposes. Even Rins parents are not eachothers life partners. They met through shared friends and married two weeks after the first time they saw each other. Her father is a wealthy commoner, but has graduated in economics from the one of the best universities in the world which gives him a high status. Her mother on the other hand owns one of the biggest companies in the country, so them marrying benefit both. They happend to start liking each other in the process, but the thought of her parents having someone out there who fits them more than they do for each other, makes Rin uncomfortable. Actually, this thought makes her a bit sad.

Subin comes back holding her boyfriends hand. Yewon looks at them with a sheepish smile "Just shove it into our faces" she signs playful.

They all laugh and Subin lays two pizza boxes on the table. They all start eating while Subin and the tall blonde boy start teasing each other.

"I wonder what it feels like to be in love." Yewon signed at Rin. She starts examining the two lovers from afar and answers "I think it depends on the type of love." she starts eating a slice of her corn pizza. "What do you mean?" Yewon asks confused. "Remember Subins exboyfriend? With him she was kinda more distant although he was sweet" Yewon eats her pizza and replies:"yeah, because she knew there was someone else out there"

Rin keeps examining the couple "exactly. Don't you think it's a bit sad? She didn't even give that poor guy a chance, just because she knew there was someone better for her…but on the other hand, who knows…" They both smile at the laughing couple "…we don't know if she would have been this happy with him"

They all walk out of the university building with a full stomach. The red leaves of the tree are falling down and everyone stands still and looks up in awe. Rin smiles and runs past the trees towards the street. She turns back and signs at her friends with a smile "Autumn has started!! It's christmas soon!!" she jumps up and down and dances around happily. Her friends laugh and run towards her throwing leaves. They all enjoy the carefreeness of their youth. Subin starts tickling the two other girls which makes them all fall into a pile of leafs while laughing uncontrollably. "I'm glad we are friends" Subin signs smiling at both of them. Rin looks at the sky and smiles. She was happy the they are all friends.

The three of them met during middleschool. Back then noone wanted to talk to Rin, since she was from a wealthy family.

Subin was one Rins senior at that time so they haven't known each other. The person who connected them was Yewon. One day she came as a new student. Usually people who go to a different school start out shy, but Yewon was not like that at all. Within two weeks she became the most popular girl at school. One day she saw Rin sitting alone in the cafeteria eating lunch, so she just sat down next to her. Since then she sat with Rin everyday, walked to school with her, walked home with her and became like her shadow. Some months later they went back home from school and saw subin smoking in a narrow alley. Since underage smoking and drinking was forbidden at school and would result in an suspension, she begged them not to tell anyone. So rin walked up to her, took her cigarette and smoked it herself. The other two girls just stared at her in shock while she was coughing uncontrollably. She looked at the girl in front of her and signs "Now we both smoked, so if someone knows we are both in trouble." Subin stands there in shock. Yewon runs towards the two of them and takes a puff of a cigarette aswell. "Yep, we are all into it now" yewon smiles while coughing. Since that day the three spent everyday together. Went to university together and moved into an apartment together. They all never truly had someone who understands them and loves them unconditionally. No family and no friends. But now they got each other and that was all they needed

Rin stands up from the in leafs covered floor and waves her friends goodbye. "tomorrow Barbecue!" she signs at them and turns around to cross the street. She keeps smiling looking at the bright sky, thinking about how happy she can be sometimes. Suddenly all she can remember is feeling a sharp pain in her body and a burning ache on her legs. Her vision is blurred first but after some seconds her eyes just close and she falls unconscious.

Suddenly she wakes up in a beige room, covered in warm light. She tries to stand up but her body is in pain, as if she worked out for ten hours in a row. She touches her left arm and backs off in pain. She is bleeding. A door opens and a man looking like a nurse walks in with a caring smile. He fixes his blue apron and asks "hearing or nonhearing?" Based on him moving his mouth Rin assumes that the man is speaking while singing. She answers him "Nonhearing" still feeling a pain in her muscles but almost sitting up on her hospital bed.

The man walks up to her and examines her body "You had a car accident yesterday."

Rins looks at him in shock "Yesterday?" "Yes, your friends called an ambulance and you've been unconscious since then." She can't understand how she was unconscious for one entire day. Today was their big presentation, she should be there. Yesterday they finished everything and Rin was responsible for a big extract of their speech. Her head was filled with thoughts of her friends being mad at her and how she would explain all this. But if her friends called the ambulance they must know about her being in the hospital.

The nurse continues "We made some checkups and you are fine. Just some scratches on your body and some bruises that will cause some pain for the next couple days…but we discovered something else."

She tilts her head in confusion "what else?"

"You got a very weak heart miss Seo. It is not supplied with enough blood…looking at your body it must be like this since a very long time." Rin sits in disbelief. How would she be sick for years without knowing? She was sick often and she had chest pains often and was a very tired person. But whenever she went to her doctor he told her everything was fine with her body and that those issues were completely normal. Even when they did proper checkups, they always assured her that she is completely healthy and painkillers would help.

"One of our best medicals here is a heart surgeon, she is arriving in some minutes" The nurse places a cup of water on the desk in front of rin and walks out of the room.

Rin stares outside and starts remembering all the appointments she has missed today. She forgot about the meeting with her parents she would have at 5pm. Even if her friends are not mad, her parents would be. That's for sure. Her parents are not the type of people that would usually be understanding nor caring. Seo Sooyoung, her mother is a narcissistic, perfectionist, that always wants to win. No matter what. There are even rumors about her killing her sick older brother in order to take over the families conpany. But officially he died because of cancer.

Kim Koutarou, her father, comes from a caring but still distant family. His mother was a diplomat while his father was a politican. The perfect match one could say. Her father was more loving, but at the same time he had no skill in showing this so called love. So usually her mother would be mad at anything she does while her father would just not criticize her to show his support.

As Rin grew older she learned to appreciate any kind of support and care, but decided not to depend on it. Even if noone cared for her, she wanted to be able to live happier than anyone else.

When she met her best friends she started feeling this happiness, but at the same time she was scared because she noticed that her friends love was what made her feel this happy. So from time to time she still decided to distance herself for some days to enjoy her own company.

Sometimes Rin asked herself if she would be different if she grew up with her half siblings. Her Siblings are very social and always spend time with each other. It's what siblings do, but since she was never really one of them she was always left out. When she was younger she was very quiet but Nowadays Most people think she is a happy, open and extroverted loud girl, which she is, but at the same time there is a darkness surrounding her that noone feels but her.

Suddenly the door opens, and a woman comes in looking at some papers. She doesn't even pay attention to Rin at all.

Rin on on the other hand starts feeling a strange sensation.

First something is buzzing like a bee and then she starts hearing a beautiful, clear sound. A melody. This melody reminds her of when she was younger and played with butterflies in a flower field. She always thought that butterlfies would sound like that. All of a sudden her ears start hurting. Everything around her is so…loud. After some seconds the tension in her body eases and she relaxes. She tries to focus on the different sounds that she can hear. Birds, voices, steps, the wind, the hospital machines, her own breath and the breath of the woman standing next to the door still ignoring her. If she can hear now that would mean that she and this woman have a biological connection. That would mean that this woman is who she is meant to be with. But if that was the case this woman would have to hear her aswell, which she apparently doesn't. If she did she would at least show some sort of reaction, but she is completely silent and not wven paying attention to the girl. It can be awkward to meet someone and suddenly KNOW that you and this person have a special connection. Abit forced. But at the same time it is not possible to not show any reaction at all. She starts examining the woman. Her hair is straight, up to her chin and pitch black while her complexion is pale as a ghosts. She has a feminine but strong and cool aura, which probably comes from her slim, trained figure and tall legs.Suddenly the woman looks up into her face and starts signing "Excuse my manners, I'm Doctor Kim." her face doesn't show any sign of emotion. "How are you feeling?" she asks her looking back at her papers.

Rin didn't answer since the other woman was not looking at her anyways. The woman looks up and asks again with a slightly worried expression "are you feeling okay?"

Rin nods and starts signing "Yes, I feel good. When can I get home?"

She tries to focus on answering and understanding but the new sensation of hearing makes it hard for her to focus. "The caraccident didn't impact you that much, but basef on the results of your tests, you are very sick. Did you have checkups at the hospital before?"

The girl thinks and nods again "yes, but they said I was healthy."

"Well, you can go home today…but you have to come back. Your heart is in a very bad condition and we have to figure out why." the woman makes her way out of the room when suddenly a loud noise echoes from the hallways. Rin shrugs in surprise but the other woman…just keeps walking out as if nothing happend. if she really doesn't hear, that would mean that Rin and this woman are in fact not meant for each other. Something like this doesn't happen alot, but it does happen. A person can gain their hearing seeing someone while the other doesn't notice any change. It means that one persons body fits biologically to the other persons, while the other person already has another perfect match. An anomaly one could say. In this case this person is called, a lone soul."NO, YOU ARE LYING" Rin signs in an angry manner and holds up a comic book. "How does it make sense that cosmic girl, who can literally control EVERY BEINGS MIND, would lose against hiro, who doesn't even have proper superpowers"

Yewon rolls her eyes and answers emotionless "Hiro can shift universes, he could disappear anytime. How would you attack someone who can disappear out of nowhere?"

Subin who was sitting next to them the entire conversation interrupts annoyed "guys, I don't want to bother you…BUT THAT WAS NOT THE TOPIC"

The other girl waves her to leave. She looks a bit annoyed but at the same time not too serious.

Once subin closes the door yewon grabs Rins arm harshly and pulls her close to her with excitement. "Oh my god!! Did you see subins boyfriends brother?? HE IS SO HOT! I mean I can't really say this in front of her but look"

yewon takes out her phone and presents a picture of the guy. Rin examines it without any expression "I guess one could say he is hot"
