Electrolytes Bloom

Description

He loves life, but at the same time, he loathes it with such a fervor amounted to ten thousand star-shaped fireworks. All he ever wants is to explore it and cherish it and see it and ask it ten thousand questions on why fireworks light up the sky and why stars shine brighter than he ever could, but all it ever seems to have done was answer him by cruelly taking away half of his questions and leaving them strictly black or white. Curiosity did kill the cat, after all.

Foreword

Not at all a sequel to my last fanfic, not in the bit related. Thank you if you enjoyed both. Dedicated to my wonderful Myungzy shippers, and of course Emilie and Georgia.

Here's the breakdown: Myungsoo's a colorblind man who's obsessed with the idea of seeing colors one day. He refuses to leave on the journey he's planned out for his whole life until he's able to see them in their full effect, the effect being colors. He volunteers to be tested for a new chemical compound that guarantees he will be able to see colors after a few years of injections, but it never happens. Thus, instead, he is used more like a lab rat under the pretense that he is testing out this compound. It become some sort of poison they have no idea how to control, and one day, after another dose, he falls into a coma. Unsure of what to do, the doctors continue testing on him in hopes he will awaken from his coma with the ability to see colors. 

Suzy, a lover of books and a young woman who volunteers at the "hospital" Myungsoo resides in, often reads him books. It begins one day with her reading a book that had compiled many German fairytales. Myungsoo sees the book and asks if she could read it to him. Since then, she and he have plotted out many destinations that they would like to visit in their lives. Suzy falls hopelessly in love with him and Myungsoo remains oblivious to her feelings. 

When Myungsoo falls into a coma, everything Suzy has read to him comes to life and he can now see colors. At first, he is confused, thinking he is in heaven. He finds a girl, who he finds very familiar but cannot recall her name, and follows her due to this confusion. They have many adventures together, and he ends up slowly falling in love with her.

for em! userinfo.gif?v=103.1chungmah, based off of her AU prompts: one and two. also, wow, what the hell did i actually just write. i'll write more comprehensive stories in the future, because literally i had no direction with this.

ADDED PROMPT! What if clouds and lakes switched spots and every time you looked up you’d see waves being pulled by the moon and we’d wade through the clouds on a hot day? What if birds grew grass and the ground grew feathers? What if flowers were as tall as trees and trees as small as flowers?

Chapter 1: THIS IS FREAKING BRILLIANT. i mean, i admit i dont understand the coherence of this story until it goes to quarter part (from the end) of this story, i thought it was suzy who gone first but its myungsoo ;A;

my favourite part would be how you describe their chaste kiss (under the sea of stars) and the short but 'oooomph' 16th unsent letter from suzy. its short but give you a pang of pain in your heart when you read it...

ahhh i need to subscribe you as author, i believe i can read more wonderful stories again. and yes, this piece is simply beautiful to me :)
