Jeongin stared at his reflection.

His red hair was starting to fade just a touch. He entertained the idea of just bleaching his hair and going blond like Felix, but he found that the red attracted peoples attention.

Jeongin passed a hand through his hair and lifted his bangs off his forehead. He furrowed his eyebrows together and squinted at himself.

Admittedly, Jeongin was feeling insecure. Usually his inadequate feelings stemmed from his personality, but today his negative thoughts rested on his appearance. His friends would tell him that he's quite attractive, that he had a cute, innocent look about him. Was he blind because he couldn't see it?

All his friends were unconventionally attractive. It seemed effortless to them. Jeongin always used to make sure he looked as nice as possible before going out, but as time went on, the motivation to do so went down the drain. It left him painfully aware of how he looked but having no drive to do anything about it.

Today all he did was put on a striped sweater and run a comb through his hair. He chewed his lip and stared himself down, stomach acid rising in his throat.

Quickly, he pulled out his phone.
