In class, I was quietly doing my work while the teacher wrote on the board.

I had a question to ask, so I walked up to her. Just then, she turned around and asked everyone—

Teacher: "Where is Sae?"

Me: "Teacher, I'm right next to you."

She finally turned to face me, looking puzzled.

Teacher: "Oh, there you are. I didn't see you."

Me: "I know. I heard you."

Later at home, I took a shower, went downstairs, greeted Pa in the study room, said hi to Ma in the kitchen, and flopped onto the couch next to Sis in the living room.

Sometimes, I walked around making weird noises—just because I could—until my parents scolded me for it. So I went back to the couch to relax.

A few hours later—

Pa (shouting): "Where is Sae? Is she still showering? Sis! Go call your sister and tell her to stop wasting water!"

Sis turned to me.

Sis: "You heard that?"

Me: "I'm not deaf."

I walked into the study room.

Me: "Pa! I was downstairs the entire time."

Ma walked in right after.

Ma: "She was making weird noises earlier. Did you forget?"

Pa looked at me, confused.

Pa: "She used her cockroach power again."

Ma: "No cockroach makes this much noise."

Me: "…"

That night, I was lying on the couch, scrolling through my phone, enjoying my peace.Out of nowhere, a mosquito flew straight into my face.

Me: "Beh! A mosquito smashed into my face!"

Ma walked in, frowning.

Ma: "What weird noises are you making now?"

Me: "I'm invisible to a mosquito, Ma!"

Ma: "What's so shocking?"

I was too stunned to speak.
