Sempiternal ♢ Jicheol

삼십 • colors

I didn't really know how to end this so forgive me for the shitty ending ><

P.S. also wanted to say sorry for any kinds of mistake found here.

Jihoon loved the color black. It was a color of elegance and delicacy. He says that black is his happy color; black, ebony, jade black, raven. No matter what shade of black that is, it is his favorite. He loves the color black because it represents his life; it's full of darkness. It was him who beats himself up, who wakes up his monsters, and who kills himself slowly.

Seungcheol, on the other side, loves the color white. From his clothes, down to his furnitures and personal things. For him, white was ethereal. It was made out of purity and empowerment. It wasn't dull; it is fierce and definite.

For Seungcheol's case, he kept in mind that happiness is a choice, and not a result. ''You make your own happiness'', he would tell his friends. He always says that happiness will not come to you, it can only come from you.

Seungcheol and Jihoon were like a piano. White keys represent Seungcheol and his joyful personality. Black keys represent Jihoon and his dark sides. As they go through their relationship, Seungcheol had managed to make Jihoon open up to him and make him realize that black keys can make music too.

As they got to know each other, they both knew that white isn't always light, and black is not always dark. They've managed to understand each other more; their weaknesses and their strengths, their light and darkness in life and everything they've been through.

Then, one day, the world decided to pull the both of them into the cruel reality.

Sometimes, the world is unfair. And just like how pianos get dull and old, their relationship loses its spark and love.

Seungcheol's white and happy personality slowly becomes a shade of black; ebony. His world lost its color and turned into nothing but a shade of black. He can feel the colors slowly draining  as he sees Jihoon turning into a bright shade of white while kissing his bestfriend, Mingyu.

It was now Seungcheol who had black all over him, and Jihoon with white. Just look at how the tables have turned.

The world isn't always balanced. The world really isn't fair. And sometimes, you just gotta accept the cruel reality.
