Colors // Jisungcentric

Open up

Jisung and his hyungs are currently sitting in the training room. They all gathered to talk about Jisung. The boy has acted weird in the past few days. He kept getting quieter. Nobody noticed him when he entered the room. He never got involved in conversations. He always got up shortly before training in order to avoid to have breakfast with his hyungs. That's why they finally decided to talk to the boy and that is only possible under the pretext of 'training'.

"Guys sit down for a moment. We need to talk," says Taeyong and everyone gathers in the middle of the room. Only Jisung remains in his place.
"You too, Jisung," says Johnny seriously, but Jisung doesn't move an inch. He just stares at the floor.

Jaehyun gets a little angry and then gets up. He walks up to the boy, what Jisung can see out of the corner of his eye. Jaehyun reaches out his hand to take the boy by the arm to bring him to the others, but when Jisung notices this he takes two steps back and pulls his arms behind his back.

'No touches with the hyungs'

But when they see the frightened boy, they are all worried. Jaehyung's face turns also instantly softened.
"Jisung we need to talk to you. ... About your behavior, "says Jaehyun, pointing into the circle. Jisung bites his lower lip and then walks to the circle. He sits down in a gap where there is enough space left and right to the hyungs.

"Jisung, we noticed that you have withdrawn more and more in the last few days. And your reaction right now also shows that something is wrong. If it's because of your father then- "Taeyong begins but is interrupted by Jisung.

"It has nothing to do with my father," he says quickly and then looks at his hands again. "What's going on then?" Asks Mark. "Open up to us. We are there for you," Jaemin encourages him.

'Shall I tell you?' Jisung thinks for a moment and then nods. "Okay. I'll tell you, but you won't believe me anyway," he says and then sighs. "Why shouldn't we believe you?" Asks Jeno, surprised. "Because it's ridiculous," says Jisung, then takes a deep breath.

"I'm looking for my soulmate," he says straight out. Nobody shows any reaction, so Jisung just keeps talking.

"I'm a bottom and I'm looking for my soulmate. The reason I didn't want Jaehyun to touch me is because I'm scared that you might see my rainbow eyes again and then get scared of me. I always get these eyes when I have a colorrush. That's when I can see colors, otherwise I only see everything in black, white and gray, like now. I already had the collorrush four times, with Taeyong Hyung, Jeno Hyung, Mark Hyung and Haechan Hyung. The problem is, I've always been told that when my soulmate touches me, I'll see colors, but they always disappear as soon as I've lost contact and I can't have four soulmates. I'm afraid that it will also happen to others, so no more physical contact. "

Then he breathes out and in again deeply. He feels like he's recited an essay in record time. He looks at his hyungs, hoping to get a reaction, but it takes a while for the last one to understand what Maknae has just said.

"You are a bottom?" Starts Mark.
"Yes," Jisung replies briefly.
"And you are looking for your soulmate?" Asks Chenle.
"Yes."
"And you think we are your soulmates?", It comes from Yuta.
"I don't know," he replies truthfully.
"Okay. But you saw colors with the four boys?" Asks Jaehyun.
"Yes."
"But they disappeared again and that is unusual?" Asks Taeyong.
"Yes again." Then everyone exhales loudly.

"Now what?" Asks WinWin finally. "Well, we can first test with whom Jisung can see all the colors," suggests Jungwoo.
"Only if Jisung agrees," says Johnny. "Okay. I'm happy when I can see colors," says Jisung hesitantly. Then they start. One by one, gently touching Jisung's hand, and he can actually see colors on each one.

"Wow, that was amazing," says Jisung. He looks like he's been on a drug and he's super high now.
"I think too many colors are not good for the boy," says Kun with a laugh and the others agree.
"May I see the colors again?" Asks Jisung with puppy eyes.

"Not now. We have to find out if we are all your soulmates or if you also see colors when you touch other people," says Taeyong. "Okay, how should I do that? I can't just touch a stranger," said Jisung.

"That's already clear, but we can somehow thread it in," says Taeyong, as if he already had an idea.
After a few minutes the manager comes in and Jisung follows what Taeyong has told him.

He walks up to the manager and "accidentally" trips over his legs and falls straight into Manager-nim's arms.
"Bd careful Jisung before something might happen to you," he says and helps Jisung up. Jisung doesn't see any colors and then just says thanks very quickly and goes back to his Hyungs.

"And?" Asks Haechan curiously. Jisung shakes his head.
"That means we are your soulmates," says Mark resolutely and the others nod. "But how can that be? 17 Soulmates? How is that supposed to work?", The boy almost screams. The others take a look at each other.

"Jisung we have to talk again about this 'rule' "
