"today, on march seventeenth, i come up here to finally put my name out there," hoseok started. the whole venue was completely silent as the people tried to hear.

"i am twenty four years old and i was born with usher syndrome that causes me to go deaf and shorty have blind spots. for nineteen years i have battled my deafness. i tried getting some implants to help with my hearing but my family was really poor and couldn't afford them," hoseok starred out in the sea of people.

"in 2014 i met yoongi," hoseok looked over at the idol next to him. "the first ever song i heard was 'docter.' it talks about the struggles that people go through that doctors don't know. doctors always assume that medications and therapy will get rid of the mental illness in ones head. but it's not always that easy. pills don't make demons go away."

"talking to someone won't stop the voices in your head."

"i grew in love with those words and therefore starting looking up to yoongi. he was my role model and my everything. he helped me through tough times. along with jimin here," hoseok side hugged jimin who was right next to him to guide him.

"he made sure i could hear."

jimin started tearing up. "he raised up all the money that i needed to get this
cochlear implant that is behind my ear right now," hoseok pointed to the device on his ear.

"yoongi helped a lot during this process and during the healing part as well, i'll never forget those moments," hoseok continued. "we aren't the dating couple though."

"i'd like to assume with everyone else but we aren't really dating—" hoseok was cut off.

"—and this is where i want to come in. i have been holding this in for a really long time now and i'm extremely nervous. i don't care if i lose millions of fans or the support of my family, my life to god that i won't care if anything bad happens to me, but i want to give my everything for this perfect soul in front of me right now," yoongi interrupted. he went to hug hoseok tightly.

"hoseok and i have been dating for months now and i have always been too afraid to speak out about it," yoongi pulled apart and faced hoseok face to face. hoseok's face was red and tears were threatening to fall.

"i really love hoseok. i won't trade anything for him," yoongi then grabbed hoseok's soft hand and faced the crowd once more to face all the yells and boos. yoongi closed his eyes and got ready for rejection and immediately tried to think of a way to refund people's money.

but all he heard was silence.
