Different

Chapter 2

Baekhyun's POV

I was woken up by my alarm clock at 6am as usual. i felt for it by my bedside table to turn the damn thing off. i just needed five more minutes.

I have made it clear that I'm not human and this was the only time i hated that fact. my heightened senses made the alarm sound much louder and more annoying.

i was forced to peek out of my warm comfortable blankets to see the alarm clock way across the room on the dressing table.

There was only one culprit. Arwen.

She must be tired of buying new alarm clocks almost everyday because i usually smashed them out of irritation.

"WHYYYYYY?" i cried out of irritation and i swear i could hear my mom giggling in the passageway.

Now i was forced to get out of bed to get the damn clock to stop ringing. Out of all the cool powers out there why didn't i get telekinesis. I would have totally smashed the stupid alarm clock with my mind and gone back to sleep.

I dragged myself out of bed before turning the damn thing off with as little force as possible. it wasn't my intention but i left a little dent on it.

Well at least it wasn't broken.

After a quick shower i dressed up before looking at my reflection in the mirror.

i hated not knowing what color i was wearing so i had asked my parents to only get me black, white and grey clothes. At least i would always know what colors I'm wearing.

Many people thought i was emo with the combination of my dark clothes and black eyeliner. i frowned at my reflection.

i really wish i could see all colors like everyone else. i have googled descriptions of colors to get a good idea of what they look like. Mom even sometimes tries to describe them herself every once in a while.

She says the sun is bright and yellowish like a warm summer day. She said roses are red and its a deep emotional color that reflects love and affection. Dad always buys her red roses on valentines day or when she's mad at him.

They are both in their early forties but act like a bunch of teens if you ask me.

Dad's favourite color is dark brown. He says its the color of soil and it gives him a natural rugged look. He says it makes him feel more like a hunter from old stories.

The sky is just black with white dots to me but mom says its more dark blue especially when the stars are out and its extremely beautiful. it all just looks dull to me.

"Breakfast is ready" Arwen called out as soon as she was done.

I snapped back to reality and put a smile on my face before walking downstairs to the kitchen.

"Morning mom" I said before kissing her on the cheek. She was slightly taller than me but still in the short people department like me.

"Morning sweetheart. How's my little superman" she said before kissing me on my cheek.

"I'm not little anymore mom I'm 17. Other than that I'm fine" i said before sitting next to dad who was cleaning his guns. Yes i said guns. Dad was a professional hunter and worked at a wildlife resort.

"Morning Dad" I said before pilling my place with pancakes and filling up a glass of apple juice.

"Morning champ. Are you ready for the summer holiday?" he asked.

"Considering that i don't have friends to spend it with I'm wondering what I'm going to be doing all summer" I said.

Today was the last day of school before summer holidays begin. Most kids spent their last week planning trips, parties and how they will hangout with their friends.

I was wondering if i should join the public library or create an account on wattpad as a form of entertainment because i literally had no plans or any friends to make them with.

At least even the outcasts at school had their little group. i was a loner and no one wanted to hangout with the purple eyed, white haired freak who was colorblind.

"We can plan a trip if you would like" He said putting a smile on my face.

This is what i loved about my parents. even if people my age let me down they always knew how to brighten up my mood. i loved them.

"Ooooohhh...I like that idea. Lets go to Paris. I heard the young boys there like colourful eyed pretty boys" she said smirking at me.

They knew i was gay and accepted me fully. even though i had never dated i knew what i preferred. Mom liked to convince me to date but i was able to convince her that i would when i met the one.

Anyway Fred finally told me bout mates even though he still wont tell me what i am. i have my suspicions but he keeps shooting the down.

Anyway since he explained what i mate is i have been very excited and patient. There is someone out there made specially for me and we were soulmates.

Why would i waste my time with anyone when there is a perfect guy for me out there.

"What about Korea?" i asked and they both went quiet.

"WHAT? Did i say something wrong? I thought that since I'm actually Korean it would be cool to know more than my mother tongue" i said.

"I think Africa would be more fun. Like Zimbabwe. They just overthrew a dictator president and i hear things are looking up. A good place to start our adventure" Dad said.

As usual they avoided the Korea topic like the country doesn't exist. i took a deep breath and just went with it.

Soon I was walking to school which was only a few blocks away from home so I didn't need to take the bus.

'Dude what's up' I asked Fred who was acting more weird than usual.

'Honestly I'm not sure. I feel like something is about to happen but I'm not sure if its good or bad'

'Way to make me feel better and safe'

'Don't ask then' he said and I could feel his annoyance.

'I'm sorry okay. Gosh you're such a drama queen'

'Right back at you'

I just rolled my eyes before shutting him away. I didn't need him blabbering in my head all day.

I felt like I was being watched but when I looked around I didn't see or feel anyone.

See what Fred had done. I was now being paranoid.

I just shook my head and thought about getting through my last day at school before holidays.

Nothing out of the ordinary has ever happened to me. Why would it start now?
