"Hey Hyerin, I like the color of your shirt today." Mina said, sitting down next to me.

I looked at her weirdly and sighed. "Stop bragging. What color am I wearing? I thought it was just white."

Mina snickered. "It's a light pink."

I groaned. "It must be pretty. I want to see color too."

"You will find yourself a soulmate soon, just like how I found my Jonghung." Mina said dreamily.

"Will I really though?" I asked and laughed. "From what I'm seeing, I'll be single for life with the only company me having are 50 cats."

Mina slapped a hand on my back. "It'll happen."

"Imagine this: I find my soulmate but I'm not his."

"Stop thinking so negatively, that doesn't happen, dumbo."

"Then I would be the first." I said.

"Nuh uh." She shook her head. "Oh--JONGHUNG!" She suddenly yelled and ran off towards the dude's direction, leaving me alllll alone.

I sighed. I wonder what color looks like.

"Hyerinnie~" A voice called out beside me.

I turned around. "Hi." I said.

"Nice to see you too." Hyunsuk replied sarcastically.

"I never said that?" I said back with a smirk.

"You don't have to say it for me to know." Hyunsuk smirked, reaching up and patting my cheek.

I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms. "What do you want?"

"I bought lunch for you." He said, handing me a piece of bread.

My eyes lit up. "Did you really?"

Hyunsuk nodded. "Aren't I the best?"

"No, but you're close." I said, taking the food out of his hands and putting it in my mouth.

Hyunsuk gave me a bright angelic smile and stared at me as I chewed.

"This is goo--" I suddenly gaged on the bitter taste I was suddenly tasting.

"CHOI. HYUN. SUK!!!!" I yelled with my mouth full.

Hyunsuk snickered. "Sorry babe."

Babe?!

I ignored his comment and slapped him on the back of his head.

"OW!"

"HOW OLD IS THIS?!" I shrieked, spitting the piece of bread out, and suddenly noticing the molding green on it.

Hyunsuk shrugged. "I found it under my bed."

I glared at him. "I'm going to strangle you. Stop playing these pranks!"

Hyunsuk stuck his tongue out at me. "You can't stop me~"

I yanked on Hyunsuk's ear. "Yes, I can."

"No you can't. You're tiny." Hyunsuk grinned, poking my nose.

I rolled my eyes, slumping in my seat and crossing my arms grumpily. "I hate you."

"Well I like you." Hyunsuk said.

My cheeks flushed, even though I should know by now that everything he says or does is a prank. I reached up and slapped his forehead. "STOP!"

"Okay fine, I'll stop." Hyunsuk laughed. "I'm sorry~"

I rolled my eyes again. "Why am I friends with you?"

"Because you like me."

"I do not!" I said. "If I liked you, I'd be able to see purple pink yellow orange--"

Hyunsuk laughed and stuck his tongue out at me. "I see alllll of those, they're pretty."

"Stop bragging." I said grumpily.

"You're wearing a pretty shirt today." Hyunsuk said. "It's pink!"

"I want to see pink. I want to see blue and purple and all the colors--BUT I CAN'T~~" I whined again. "I'm so envious."

"I've been seeing it for a long time, but I still don't know who my soulmate is." Hyunsuk sighed. "I don't talk to any girls."

"You talk to me." I deadpanned.

"But you don't see color. So it can't be you." Hyunsuk said. "But I sure would like it to be."

"I'm going to ignore what you said, and also that just means your soulmate is most likely a man, and so that means your gay--"

"I'm not gay!"

"You're just in denial, Hyunsuk."

DAYS LATER

I groaned as the sunlight hit my eyes, rubbing and opening them.

"Why is everything so..." I suddenly froze and gasped.

"It's...weird looking." I whispered in awe and stood up, running to my window to look outside.

Everything looked so much more--alive. It felt rich, it felt complete, and full--

Am I seeing color?

Is this it?

Have I found my soulmate?

I was in awe, staring at the green trees and the flashing lights of the city. "It's so beautiful. Those birds are so pretty--"

I remembered something and went to the mirror to look at myself. It was so weird--seeing myself in color.

"Am I dreaming?" I asked and slapped my cheeks. "I CAN SEE COLOR!! I FOUND MY SOULMATE!!" I yelled loudly and jumped around, absolutely elated and excited.

"HYERIN, BE. QUIET!!!!" My mother yelled from the other room.

LATER IN THE DAY

I was walking around in the hallways of my school, noticing that not everything was full in color yet. I was confused, why can't I see everything fully in color yet?

Who exactly is my soulmate?

Just like Hyunsuk, I didn't talk to any guys.

I want to know. I thought to myself. Is he handsome?

My mind started imagining a real life prince, coming to me looking as dashing as ever.

But I nearly choked on thin air when I realized that "prince" I was imagining had the face of,

Choi Hyunsuk.

I shook my head violently. It can't be him.

Can it?

I stepped inside my classroom, seeing Hyunsuk's bright face.

But I should've known it wasn't that easy.

As I walked through, my foot caught on something in the doorway, and I went falling down down down--

I let out a yelp as I fell until I landed in someone's arms. My eyes traveled up to their face, in which wore a smug expression.

Hyunsuk.

But what I found was even weirder--was that when I met his eyes, something changed again.

In the corner of my eye, an apple on the desk turned into a crimson color, along with many other things in the room changing into a shade that wasn't gray.

"Why hello there, princess." Hyunsuk said jokingly and smirked, getting me back on my feet.

I furrowed my eyebrows, trying to put the pieces together, not noticing that my arms were still holding onto Hyunsuk.

"I...I can see it all." I said.

"See what?"

"...Hyunsuk, I think you're my soulmate."
