black and white.

all minho sees right now black and white.

and minho will continue to see black and white.

not any other color. black and white is the real deal around seoul. around everywhere to be exact. grey is also apart of this color scheme.

in the world where lee minho lives, everything is, in fact, black and white.

seems sad, doesn't it?

well, it's not always that way. soulmates. what are soulmates, you may ask? soulmates make your life happier. soulmates make you calm. soulmates make you feel safe. soulmates make you feel warmth. soulmates make your life colorful.

that's right children. soulmates. the hype in this universe. once you meet your soulmate, color starts to show. no more black and white.

and the universe decided to make it easy and frustrating for you.

everyone has one soulmate. whenever you're within 10 meters of your soulmate, something around you starts to show its color.

yes, when you do meet your soulmate everything does turn color. but, what connects your souls and heart together is the introduction. when you tell them your name and you tell them yours, everything starts to feel.. right.

pretty cool, right? thank you universe.

at the moment minho is the corner of a little cafe. he is staring down at his hot chocolate. his hot chocolate sits in a little white tea cup. which sits on a black table. which is also being held up by four black legs. which, and here me out on this one, is sitting on a white floor. shall i continue?

minho sighs as he stares at his untouched drink. he's thinking. and when lee minho thinks he doesn't move. i mean sure he's breathing but other than that he doesn't move a muscle. not even blink.

right now, minho is breathing. breathing in the smells of the coffee that's being made for costumers.

minho dislikes coffee. doesn't matter what type of coffee. he dislikes the taste. just everything about it is, bleh.

minho also dislikes the word hate.

he's been told that all his life. by his parents. they would yell and hit him while screaming that they hated him.

if hate is what his parents do/think of him, then he doesn't hate anyone/thing. it reminds him of his parents' ways.

minho is the complete opposite of his parents. he's sweet, shy, adorable, cute, funny.

he wears lots of oversized clothing. minho isn't sure what color they are, but he likes them. he especially takes an interest in oversized clothing because he likes making sweater paws. he'll clap randomly, out of nowhere, with the biggest smile on his face. all because of his sweater paws.

minho felt someone sit next to him. he snaps out of his thoughts and looks to his right to see his cousin, seungmin. he quickly hugs seungmin's neck and pulls away with a little, "hi."

seungmin smiles. but his smile quickly drops when he sees a purple bruise on minho's cheek.

yes. seungmin met his soulmate. his name is seo changbin. he's very short but muscular. very emo but hey who's judging. he loves producing music. and he's also a bad ass rapper if i do say so myself.

right now, changbin is in australia, with some friends producing music.

"what happened," seungmin asked examining the olders face.

minho gave seungmin a, "you know what happened" face and took a sip of his hot chocolate for the first time. it was loosing heat.

(a/n some of y'all about to be real mad at me)

seungmin sighs and pulls the other closer. "i wish woojin were here. he'd know what to do." minho felt himself tear up.

woojin was seungmin's older brother. and minho's favorite cousin and savior.

woojin would always be by minho's side. through thick and thin. through all the abuse between minho and his parents. through everything.

minho barley has any friends. then and now. woojin would always accompany him everywhere. sometimes in school. kids would make fun of minho for it. but he didn't care. he loved his hyung.

but all beautiful things must come to an end, right? woojin got into a bad accident. a car accident. both woojin and the other driver were intoxicated.

minho pulled away from the hug and smiled at seungmin. "he is here, in spirit and in here," minho little index finger points to seungmin's chest. his heart. "and in here," minho balls his tiny hand into a tiny fist and knocks on seungmin's head.

minho lets out a giggle and seungmin is trailing right behind him. seungmin loves seeing minho's smile. it brings light to his day.

the laughing dialed down and minho stared at seungmin with a face.

seungmin knew this face all too well. since he met changbean.

"minnie," minho starts out. seungmin is already scanning his eyes up and down minho. "what do i look like today?"

minho particularly sends off excitement vibes as he waits for seungmin to reply.

"well," seungmin starts, "you're wearing a baby blue sweater today. with dark blue jeans. your eyes are as brown as chocolate, like always. your hair is jet black, like always. and your skin is a very fair tone."

minho stares at him in awe. "i have no idea what most of those colors look like but i like the sound of it." minho shows off the biggest smile. seungmin chuckles at his hyung's cuteness.
