Broken Colors
Description
Jiyong's world is broken. His life has shattered into tiny pieces when his parents left without a word. He struggles to keep up with the school he used to love so much and work he had never had to do before while taking care of his brother. Day by day it gets worst but he tries not to show it. In a colorless world, like his, the only thing that is worth something is food. He works for it, neglecting his studies.
His brother can do nothing but watch as slowly, he withers away. His colors fade, just like his life. Can any of them be painted again before it is too late?
Foreword
Jiyong let out a low sigh, lips staying open slightly as he struggled to breath through the summer heat. He had just left school but the sweltering weather had hit him full force, making him wish that he hadn't decided to wear such thick clothes in the morning. By the time he passed through the grand gates, his thick jumper was already clinging tightly to his skin, the cold sweat under the material making him cringe in utter disgust. He quickly got rid of the bothering item, a hum of relief escaping him the moment the hot but soothing air caressed his blistering, bare arms. He glanced at his watch as he felt a few people rush past by him, wearing shorts and T-shirts. Only he stuck out with his long, baggy jeans and his loose shirt as he hadn't had the time to dress according to the weather in the morning.
Actually, Jiyong didn't have the time for anything these days. He shuddered inwardly as another drop of sweat trickled down his neck, landing on his shirt once more. He just wished that he could go home already but no, he had many other things to do before that, unfortunately. Even cheerful Friday afternoons like this weren't bright to him anymore, not since his parents had left...
His world had slowly dulled, the colors quickly fading before disappearing completely. Like a coloring book, still in need of a children's creativity, everything was black and white.
Only a small, yellow ray of sunshine remained in his life. Luhan.
