the color of my life × taekook

1. red and blue

Jungkook pov

It happened again. I was able to see colors for a whole minute. The blue of the sky, the green grass, the brown of my friend's eyes. Everything. And then it all became gray, black and white.

I always try to look at everyone around me but there's no one looking at me. And if there is, it's always more people looking. This time he or she stared at me for a whole minute. Does that person even know what they're doing to me?

The high school yard is always packed with more groups of people, including mine. One person out of all of them is my soulmate. And they keep looking at me. They probably have no idea.

I used to turn around and stare at every person in particular, each for more than 10 seconds, and see if they react. If they suddenly look up and turn around to look for the one watching them. But that never happened.

flashback~

I was 12 when I saw colors for the first time. I was in a park playing with a few of my friends. I went to get the ball we were playing with when it all hit me at once. I froze in place. I couldn't turn around as much as I longed to.

The first color I saw was the red of the ball. That became my favorite color. When I finally turned around I only had a few seconds before the monochrome world came back. A few seconds in which I saw him.

When I turned to him he looked away and then froze just like me. Was I... Was I making him see colors too? He quickly started looking around too but I couldn't process everything that happened, so I shook my head and backed away.

That was when I heard my friends call my name, worried:

"Taehyung!"

Jungkook's pov

My favorite color is blue. The blue of the sky. The blue of my mother's eyes. The second color I was able to see when I was 12. I'll never know who did that.

Before my thoughts got deeper the bell rang and we had to get to class. Colors flashed in front of me for a split second and I stood up. I clenched my hands into fists and told my friends I'm in a hurry, before rushing to the high school building.

When I got to class I looked around but everyone was minding their own business. I was seated in the second front row in class. In the first one were the smartest guys. Like Kim Taehyung, Kim Mingyu, Lee Minho, Hong Jisoo, and Han Soojin.

This time I noticed Taehyung and Minho sat in the 2nd row. But why do I care? I'm seated in the front row in some classes too, which honestly I don't think it's something to brag about.

During maths that guy Taehyung would always keep his hand raised and answer correctly. Most of the time I look at him after he answers and think how could he solve things do fast. Although he always looks down after he gives a good answer, his face hard to read.

But I have my own favorite classes to worry about.

Taehyung's pov

In English and History class he's always in the front row and always with his hand raised. Jeon Jungkook. The one who makes me see colors. In maths, I can feel and see him looking at me. That's why I try to hide my face after every answer until he looks away and takes the colors with him.

He doesn't know what he's doing, but I'm thankful for every second I can see the polychrome world because of him.

Every time he gives good answers in classes I stare at him and he becomes stiff. I feel like I'm rewarding him. Sometimes he even smiles wider after giving good answers and seeing colors.

Jungkook is sweet. He deserves to see the polychrome world every second of the day... unlike me. It's better to stare from afar and stay away.
