take away my colour (I want to be more like you)

Description

'Having a spouse is frustrating, because they don't really love you.  They can't.  They may feel positively towards you, and they'll stay with you because they were assigned to you, but they don't understand emotions like you or I do.  Someday, you'll understand why I chose to apply.  It gets lonely, this job.'

Foreword

A/N: I reread The Giver by Lois Lowry recently and holy the feels it gave me were insane.  This oneshot is gonna be based in that universe, but even if you havent read it, I tried to explain things a bit!  I also changed the universe a bit to suit my needs but hopefully it all works out.  I'm probably doing a job, but I hope you guys enjoy it as much as people seemed to enjoy my other oneshot (twoshot?) In Another Life (<--shameless plugging).

Chapter 1: IDK HOW TO SAY THIS BUT i loved this fic and i was so intrigued by it i went to read The Giver. and holy did it take my breath away. it was absolutely beautiful, but i can't believe how it ended?! what happened to gabriel?! and the community?! and Elsewhere?!

ramblings aside, i read this again after finishing the giver and i really loved the way you described the days when pain would overcome woohyun because i could literally /feel/ it. i also liked the way woohyun had sworn off the pills in the beginning and yet at the end it felt like he didn't really care anymore and i thought it brought out nicely how heavy the burden of the emotions were on him. idk whether i liked the book's ending more or this ending more. either way, it had me in pain :-(
