"Wait."

Emmet, with a slight furrow in his brow, stopped playing his piano and turned to face you. His usually cold expression now showed a hint of concern.

"Let me check it."

He said softly, his voice incredibly gentle. Maybe it’s because he rarely speaks. Even you, who can only hear faintly, could clearly make out his soft voice.

Emmet, the keyboardist or pianist from the band Midnight Anthem, slowly leaned in a bit closer to you after stopping his playing on the piano in front of him. He moved his hand to adjust the hearing aid in your ear, which had been emitting a high-pitched sound for some time.

Gently, Emmet fixed the device in your ear. The two of you sat on the piano bench in front of the piano, in a large, quiet room—Emmet’s private studio. How did you end up here? It was all because this calm and composed man wanted you to listen to his song through the piano.

"It’s done. Is it still making the high-pitched sound?"

He asked gently, with a slight hand gesture. When did he learn sign language? You’ve only known him for two months. Two months that have made Emmet's life more harmonious and colorful.
