Vibrant Transparency

Description

Every morning, Jongin takes a blue pill. Everyday he's dutifully following the orders given by those who are lucky enough to take a red one. He's pliant, obedient, submissive. Until one day he meets Sehun and things get more complicated than that. -> SeKai with a tinge of XiuYeol

Foreword


"I crashed the train just to start a revolution
I'm not insane, I just want to be free
It's not the same if it's our execution

 

What can you see?
That everybody, everybody, everybody's got this disease"
                            [Disease - Hollywood Undead]

 


 

Jongin had many habits.
He liked to walk around in his socks or even bare-footed.
He liked to subtly train his posture whenever he got bored in public.
He liked to stay back at work to clean the facility in peace.
Okay, maybe he didn't like that. But he did it, anyway.
Wasn't it nowadays difficult to tell those things apart, anyway?

 


 

 

Aaaand I'm back again!
You wanna get rid of me? Try harder, I don't have a life atm! xD

Nah, on a serious note - this is gonna be a One Shot featuring SeKai!
I've never written SeKai before... But this is a special occasion, since this fic is a birthday present to the lovely texturedjeans and I know she's always in for some SeKai ;D

So, personal message ahead:
HAH, you better think twice about rejecting my chocolate next year, now this is what you get for that! ò_óv
Happy Birthdayyyyy you crazy, mature and at the same time childish girllll~ x3

 

About the story:

 

This was inspired by the fantastic song "Disease" by Hollywood Undead. The lyrics sound kinda dark, but the song's actually more of the powerful, almost upbeat rebellion kind of song.
That's why this story will only contain light angst and is overall more light-hearted than you'd probably expect.
For this, I had my fun in taking the lyrics ("We're forced to swallow these pills and to never ask why") quite literally, and as usual I couldn't keep my color-obsession out of this~

I hope you'll enjoy reading this x3

Lots of Love,
Sugar-and-Salt

Chapter 1: It was so refreshing for Jongin to be giving an “order” at the end. All of the Sekai moments made my heart happy.

I love this. No words can fully formed on how astonished I am with this story. This story moves me. That's it. I don't really read this type of au, but since its sekai I've decided to give it a shot and I am very glad I've done so. I don't know that I needed this until today. Trust me, I found strength and inspiration from the randomest thing on earth and currently this is what moves me during the day. I love this, each and every part of it. Everything that this story is making me wanna cry, laugh, dance and just appreciate life I guess. How them being them without being restricted with the system makes me also feels free. Just as free as they're here. Jongin here really gives me alot to think about life I'm currently living right now. I am sorry if I can't properly convey my feelings, it's because English is not my main language, but I want to assure you that this particular story of your really gives me motivation and change my prespective of life. And its a big deal for me. I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. There's nothing else I can give you to show you my gratitude than supporting this story and you. Can I have this story in pdf? I mean with your approval ofc ^^

Chapter 1: You've probably noticed I've slowly been making my way through your Sekai fics but wow, this has to be my absolute favourite! I love the au for a start, I've never seen anything as good as this before ever and also the characters! Wow! the characterisation is so brilliant because you showed us everything about them with beautiful description and how they linked to the coloured pills and it's just so beautiful because you can see how life changes for Jongin without the pill which also shows how the others must have felt when they changed since we know them all so well by the end!! I know it's been about two years but this is so brilliant, please please please please write us a sequel!
(Sorry about my weird comment, I was so excited after reading this I forgot how to form sentences properly)

Chapter 1: If we ask Jongin nicely, would we able to get the different story?

( Hihi, I'm a silent reader but this story was just too breathtaking to not comment. Well done, your writing is so captivating, I loved it. But seriously and honestly, I normally hate doing this but, is there a possibility that there is a " different story" that Jongin was taking about at the end? )
