Fernan had been working at his cousin Cordy's bakery for six months now. During quieter times, he would often be behind the counter with Cordy, teaching him basic sign language. One afternoon during Valentine's day, when the bakery was a bit slow, the door chime rang, and two customers walked in. Cordy's demeanor changed instantly; he puffed his chest and seemed unusually nervous. Whispering to Fernan, he revealed that one of the girls was actually his crush. However, Fernan's attention was drawn to the second girl, who wore hearing aids.

There was something about the girl with hearing aids that caught Fernan's attention. Perhaps it was the way she confidently navigated the world despite her disability, much like himself. Fernan found himself curiously drawn to her, feeling a connection that he couldn't quite explain. Meanwhile, Cordy diligently served the girls, his face reddening as he hoped to impress his crush with his barista skills and maybe ask her to date on this special day.

Fernan watched as Cordy interacted with the girls, noting the way he fumbled over his words and the nervousness in his demeanor. It struck him that his cousin, usually so confident behind the counter, was now a complete mess due to his crush. While still teaching signs to Cordy, Fernan's gaze would intermittently dart towards the girl with the hearing aids, noticing how she observed his own Valentine's pastries in the display with a focused expression.

He couldn't help but notice that the girl with the hearing aids was holding a small note in her hand. It seemed likely that she carried the note as a means of communication, possibly due to her hearing impairment. Fernan felt a sense of familiarity and understanding, as he himself relied on notes to convey his thoughts and ideas.
