Jungkook's pov

How can this happen? Why can he make me see a polychrome world, but I can't make him see it too? I know what I'm seeing. But how... I've never heard anything like this.

Who could lie about something like this? And why lie? He's not lying. He was confused. And now so am I. I was so sure... I AM sure.

Maybe it takes more time for some people. Does that even make sense? I was leaning on the wall at the back of the school. The bell rang for the second class so I grabbed my bag and entered the building.

My next class is Biology so Taehyung won't be there. I sit in the back with my friend Seungjin. I sat down next to him and he asked me where I've been.

"Needed some time for myself" I shrugged. "Hey" I whisper after we greeted the teacher. "Is it possible for someone to be your soulmate, but for you to not be their soulmate?"

Seungjin looked at me dumbfounded "What? Jungkook are you high? There's no way that can happen. It makes no sense!"

"I know, I just..." I sighed. I was alone with him in his apartment. There was no one else who could be looking at me other than Taehyung.

I should tell him about this. But it would be weird since he said he already found his soulmate. And about that, who is his soulmate? I could ask him about that.

Taehyung's pov

My soulmate is Jeon Jungkook. He knows what I can do to him. We got too close and now he's suspicious. No, I could see he was certain about it.

~flashback

The sun was just setting when I saw him sitting alone on the grass, looking at the sunset. You don't find much pleasure in seeing a colorless sunset.

So I looked at him. I stared and stared until the sun disappeared. The boy was surprised at first and only glanced back once before returning to the view. I bet it felt surreal.

He leaned his head back a little and I could see his delighted smile. That warmed my heart and I couldn't suppress my idiotic grin.

He lifted his hand in front of him, as if the sunset was a painting and he wanted to feel it, to touch the warm colors. That must have been his favorite view, but I had mine right there.

end of flashback~

I was in the schoolyard when I saw colors again, meaning Jungkook was looking at me. I didn't try glancing his way. Instead, I looked up at the sky, though it was still gray. It was going to rain and I didn't bring my umbrella.

I already felt weak today. Bad weather really doesn't do me any good at all.
I will have to run home.

Jungkook's pov

My friends said there was a big storm coming. I looked at Taehyung and he was glancing up, biting his lower lip. He probably didn't bring an umbrella. I brought one, so maybe I can go home with him.

Taehyung's pov

After classes, I was preparing to run through that strong storm. I thought it was only going to rain, nothing much, but I was wrong.

"Taehyung!" I heard my name and my vision was suddenly colorful, though there wasn't much color because of the storm. Jungkook.
I turned back and he was next to me with an umbrella. "I'll walk you home," he said.

I looked around again. He could just go to the bus station and get home. Why worry about me?

"I think I can do this, but thanks. You should hurry up and catch the bus to go home." I kindly refused.

"It wasn't a question. Come on!" he grabbed my hand and pulled me next to him, under the umbrella. I felt my cheeks heat up and avoided looking at him. I won't let him see me like this.

The usual time I would take from my home to the school is 10 minutes. By the time we got there, it's been over 15 minutes and we were both soaked.

I started coughing, feeling dizzy and cold. Both of us were trembling. We got to my flat and I unlocked it, letting us get in. I turned to Jungkook and...

Jungkook's pov

Taehyung fainted and fell onto me.
