The Xerodermic One

Chapter 1

Before everyone gets salty, I know Xerodermic isn't a word, but considering we use slang more now it shouldn't effect much, but Incase it effects you so much you have to say something

"Man what it would be like to enjoy the outdoors now" Jungkook spoke staring out his tented windows, feeling the heat radiating off them,  "if I could just go out there...Be like everyone else, not a disease" Jungkook spoke, sighing loudly, falling back into his seat.
"jungkook~Ah! Time for dinner" A voice spoke, turning all Jungkooks attention to it "I'll be there in a second Jimin!" Jungkook replied, continuing his self monologue about the sun, and how he wishes to be outside.
Though if he did this, it would be death.
The sun for Jungkook is death.

While photosynthesis makes everything live, the sun kills jungkook. Even the slightest bit of sunlight on the youngers skin, will send him into a horribly ill state, and slowly his body will shut down, until all he has left is to wait until his body slowly dies away.

Jungkooks eyes instantly brightened when he saw that boy. The boy he's watched since the day he moved here, on his second floor room, he'd watch this boy. It wasn't a secret that Jungkook had a crush on him, he was perfect.

While most would spend their time crybabying about their horrible life with XP, Jungkook took it to his light.
He was amazing at singing and drawing, he loved the idea of drawing anything and everything of the sun, so he'd draw the sea, a bright beach.

Those were the places he wanted to go, he wanted to swim in the salty ocean water, run on the sandy beach and get a sunburn, or maybe a sexy tan to get all the ladies, and men to compliment him, even though Jungkook was as gay as they get, he just loves to see the guys get jealous.

As for him the only way he gets outside is by night, when it's late and everyone's probably alseep Jungkook is awake and taking in every breath of fresh air, kinda like an animal, dormant at day, active at night type of thing.

Most people don't even realize the joys of having a sun, you may complain on how hot it is, or how it hurts your eyes, but imagine never being able to go out an enjoy it.
Jungkook always wants to ask people that, if you lost the ability to have a life, would you leave it.

Jungkook sighed as he sat at the table, eggs and bacon sitting on a plate before him.

Jimin.

Jimin was Jungkooks older brother, and care taker, he spends his hard earned cash taking care of Jungkook, since everting was a hassle, from hospital visits to paying for a special tented car, to the extqrodenaraly expensive stuff.

It sucks that you have to pay to not die.

Jungkook slowly munched on the eggs, he was sadder these days, it was graduation for everyone, and Jungkook was gone, watching everyone else live. "Jungkook...You okay?" Jimin asked sitting down in front of the younger "Yeah....It's just hard recently" Jungkook began "Everyone's living life while I'm stuck in here" Jungkook spoke "Its okay to be sad ya know, some things in life can't be taken" Jimin spoke "I'm taking your life away Jimin, you should be living, going out, having fun, not taking care of your brother" Jungkook spoke "Stop" Jimin spoke "I'd rather care for you then go out with people who don't care about me" Jimin spoke "I-...." jungkook tried to speak but stoped.

The more Jungkook thought about living with everyone else the more it hurt, the life he wished to have wouldn't be there, he had nobody, he was alone.

"I guess it's just another year...".
