White hair || Seongjoong

01: SH

Throughout his entire life, Seonghwa had moved from city to city and even from several countries to others, never staying in the same place for longer than two years. Sometimes he would stay longer than other times depending on when someone would find out about his white hair. He would always cover his hair with beanies, hats, and occasionally convincing wigs.

Yet still people would find out about his hair eventually. His parents had always taught him to hide it. Yes, being destined to be royalty was something lots of people would be proud of and confident in, but it came with its dangers. There were a lot of jealous people in this world, people who would do anything to try to take the place despite the high risks and heavy punishments. 

Some would even go as far as killing the white haired person, it had happened before, multiple times even in some countries.

Because of all that, Seonghwa kept his hair a secret. He couldn't get into certain places thanks to that though, some places - like clubs - only allowed certain people with certain hair colors. People also sometimes assumed he had green or red hair and that he was a criminal. Not a strange assumption as lots of criminals did that.

It made Seonghwa's life hard and he had to move away the instant people would find out he was the white haired person of his new generation and for South Korea. He used several different names and often edited his picture to make it seem like he had brown hair. That only worked for a limited time of course.

By the time he was twenty-one years old, he had used way too many different names to remember them all. He was able to speak several languages because he moved to different countries like Australia, Japan and Spain.

He decided to move back to South Korea and moved into Seoul, the country's capital. It was risky because of the busy streets, but also gave a sense of security. If anything were to happen, there would surely be bystanders who were able to step in.

Seonghwa was planning to make himself known by the time he turned twenty five, when he knew he was sure he was able to handle a long investigation to figure out if he was a fake or not. Living in Seoul then was for the best as the headquarters for the investigations were in the center of the city.

Four more years left and then it was one, long and big step to following his destiny.

He was a follower of the system and he wanted to follow it as best as he could, but he had to protect himself in the process. This was a dangerous world, especially with the previous generation having quite a lot of criminals and that was the generation that was still at the top right now. So being careful before following his destiny was the best option.

In the time he lived in Seoul, he made some good friends, but made only one best friend. Kang Minjun. A blonde haired citizen who was anything but a fan of the system. The two rarely brought up the subject as they had a very different opinion on it and Seonghwa didn't want it to turn into a fight and he especially didn't want Minjun to find out about his white hair.

Despite not being a fan of the system, Minjun had always wished he had been the one born with white hair, that he had been the one destined to become royalty. 

It did make their friendship a bit hard, but they focused on so many other things, things unrelated to the system. 

Seonghwa ended up living in Seoul for longer than he had ever lived somewhere, for almost four years. Nobody had found out about his hair, not even his best friend who he hung out with almost every single day.

It was a surprise, but a great relief as well. However, his twenty fifth birthday was coming up, meaning it would soon be time for him to make himself known. While it stressed and scared him, he was happy his time of hiding was soon coming to an end.
