44: Colour // Saeshan

(Saeyoung is colourblind here like sees black and white only)

Saeyoung walked along the street in a park. The sky was beautiful, the trees showing off their vibrant leaves. The flowers were standing tall, proud of their multicoloured petals. The world around him was a rainbow, but he couldn't see it.

He sat on a bench to look at the sky. Was it prettier than before? He couldn't tell. Just at this moment a girl sat beside him. She was walking her dog Corgi, and decided to take a break.

"Hello," she said, " it's a beautiful day isn't it?"

"Uh... yeah... Do you live around here? I haven't seen you before."

"I just moved in yesterday,"

As she said that Saeyoung suddenly saw the colour of the hoodie she was wearing. It was very mild and faded, but he could see the pink on it. He couldn't belive his eyes. He blinked and rubbed his eyes, this was a miracle.

Whoever this girl is, she is special, he thought.

-

The following day he went to the park again, after all it was his daily routine. It was his way to get away from all his work and problems. Once again he sat on the same bench and looked up at the sky.

"Hey! What a coincidence!" a voice interrupted his inner peace.

It was that girl again, she was walking her dog, again. She removed her earphones and threw them over her shoulder.

"Since we are going to see each other so often, let me introduce myself. I'm Shanz, and this is Fluffy."

"I'm... Saeyoung. Nice to meet you."

And that was how an unexpected friendship blossomed in the world of chaos.

-
"Hey you like Skittles? I've got some! Which colour do you like most?" Shanz said, pulling out a packet of skittles

"I like the red ones most." I mean what else would you expect from Saeyoung.

"Here, help yourself."

Damn it, Saeyoung thought. Shanz didn't know he was colourblind. He looked at the bunch of skittles she was holding up in front of him, and with a lot of faith, he picked out one.

She didn't act weird, did that mean he got a red one? He just ate it and by it's taste he could tell it was a red one. Wow, he was one lucky fellow.

-

Everytime Saeyoung got to know her more, he saw more of her colour. It was a strange phenomenon, but it was happening before his very eyes.

One day Shanz told him what he didn't expect.

"I'm leaving next week, I'm going abroad to continue my travel."

"What? So sudden? But you can't leave me!"

"I'm sorry, but I can't stay here. There's a whole world out there for me to discover."

"But you can't leave me... I need you by my side. You give my life colour, you show me something I have never seen before. Shanz, I have total colourblindness."

It took her a while to absorb all that information. "You're colourblind? But the skittles, you picked a red one..."

"It was by luck, i guess you were my luck. Since I got to know you, i was able to see a lot of colour, at first it was mild and it started from the clothes you wore, but now i can see more, the trees, the flowers, the sky."

She didn't know what to say, what was this kind of magic? In the end Shanz decides to stay in the country a little longer. If she actually mattered so much to someone, that person was worth staying for.
