Author’s note
This story is heavily inspired by the BL manga ✨️Sign✨️, one of my favorite comfort reads. While certain elements—such as a deaf male lead, sign language, workplace romance, and the cozy atmosphere of a small business—were inspired by Sign, this is not a retelling of its story. A Language Only We Can Speak features its own characters, relationships, backstories, and plotlines. Ji-hwan, Min-jae, and Hyun-woo, were created to tell a different story centered around communication, quiet intimacy, found family, and a bookstore-café that feels like home. To readers familiar with Sign, you may notice a few nods and inspirations throughout the story. To new readers, I hope you'll enjoy this warm, romantic, slightly chaotic world just as much. Thank you for reading. 💋
