Description

Jinwoo’s hands slide down to his shoulders, barely touching his skin. Yet Mino, can feel the burn - can feel the gentle flame lapping his flesh. Mino’s drawing pencil slips out of his sweaty fingers, falling to the floor and rolling under the bed.

Foreword

 

** Written for SongKim Fic Ex, December 2015 **

Title: POLYCHROMATIC

Prompt by: PUFFYWOON

Pairing: SongKim with side TaeHoon. Seungyoon is here too!

Fic Prompt: Soulmate-Mino's vision burst in color when he sees Jinwoo.

Prompt Request: Mino, before meeting Jinwoo, was a gloomy man and only saw black, white and shades of grey. He wondered if he would ever witness to see color, doubting that he would ever meet his soulmate. And questions himself if he ever would, is it real love?...yes.

Rating: Hmm, maybe M or R. Sorry, I totally at figuring out ratings.

Warning: Notice the rating. There is a little (boy/boy) and some language. Do not read if those things make your skin crawl.

Summary: Song Mino lives in a world of gray, black, and white. Kim Jinwoo lives in a world of bright colors. Feeling inadequate, Mino keeps his distance from the outside world and disassociates from other people and his feelings. When someone like Jinwoo comes along, his world is thrown off balance.

Author’s note: Honestly, I was confused at first because the prompt required a gloomy Mino but didn’t want something OC. In any case, I just decided to write something that I feel works out for the main part of the plot which is a world without colors. I’ve never written anything like this and I found it to be an enlightening experience having to imagine such a thing in my head. I did use a photo for reference which I‘ll reveal when the time comes. This story is actually far longer but I’ve repeatedly cut down parts here and there to reduce it. Anyway, to whoever requested this – thank you for giving me a chance to explore this theme. I don’t know if this is what you have in mind but I did try.

Chapter 1: I'm all over the place with my comments, I apologize.

Thank you so much for choosing my prompt and making it your own! I'm really glad you did cause I got to read a different version of soulmate!au with happy minwoo! As I told Sherma, what I submitted was more like a suggestion. How the author makes of it is their own creation and for that I appreciate it because it's yours, you made it. It was your own style, it's unique and that's what makes it precious. You really had me captivated with this story!

This was one concept of soulmate!au, the red string of fate was another, and I was playing around with the tattoo/name written on skin one. I had it on my mind for quite a while so please don't take it wrong! I still need to satisfy my vampire HP thirst too. >.<
So please don't fear to try new things! I'm super super glad you chose and wrote this! I once again want to apologize for taking long to comment, I hate myself for taking too long. I always do this T.T

Chapter 1: As an artist myself, I can understand how Mino would feel if one day I started to lose my sight of color slowly. So too see some vibrant color, it would be shock and like some sense of happiness to get to witness it again.

I love how they first met, it all started thanks to Rey and then Bey. It's like they knew. I wouldn't doubt it, they are smart. lol. But I'm happy to read that Jinwoo was patient with Mino and how slowly they just started to practically live together. Things slowly started to fall into place and Mino slowly started to learn about his feelings. And as soulmates, even if Mino wasn't aware, they enjoyed each others presence and understood each other. Especially Jinwoo, could he read his mind!?!?! How come Mino couldn't read Jinwoo's?

Gahh! The intimate scene! Mino seemed so vulnerable but Jinwoo was there for him, just like how Mino said he was his blanket. It was perfect and so full of emotion. And always playful like always. That's why they're perfect for each other cause they know when to fool around, when to be serious and and...just know their place? Idk. You really were able to place their personalities on it and its...perfection. I truly truly appreciate your work!

And how they all became fast friends! It was hilarious how Nammie was getting jealous. Ha! and Hoonie not denying that Jinwoo was gorgeous. YES! I can so see that.

I applaud all the detail and well thought out format of the fic. I once again apologize for my lack of response. I feel horrible for delaying it sooo much. It's just I was overwhelmed, a short "this is amazing, thank you for doing this" was not enough to appreciate the beauty of this fic. I bow down to you too for the length of it. Idk how most of you do it! Busy and yet still write good lengthy fics for us. I feel ashamed with my short chapters and one-shots.

Chapter 1: This is perfect. I wasn't aware this was posted here too! I am sooo sorry for my lack of commenting. I'm a horrible author as I'm a horrible commentator. I'll comment on LJ when I can (cause it's not loading on me now -_-*) so I shall comment here now. Prepare for my long rambling cause this was the reason I kept delaying my comment. lol. I swear to God I was going to comment yesterday but I was so frustrated with LJ (and super cold since apparently the heater doesn't work in my room) that I gave up and got under my covers. But enough of my excuses, on to the story!

I adore and really appreciate your perspective on the prompt. This was new, surreal, yet so down to earth at the same time. I love how close to reality it is. Like he could have other reasons why he's down and he can still slowly grow to care for Jinwoo.
But he's color blind and only sees hints of color when Jinwoo is around, not all the time but the fact that he sees some type of color is an improvement. It's like that's all he needs to know that there is still some color in the world. That it's not always black, white and the shades in between. I mean, it doesn't automatically bring him out of his dark state, but he slowly warms up. And that's exactly how things usually work and I love you for that! We all love a bubbly happy Mino bug around but it's a bit too fast and unrealistic when you can go from a gloomy status to a happy go lucky kind of guy on the next.

So reading yours was really interesting and fascinating! It's...like it's based on reality with some supernatural in it. This is something that I could possibly see happening, am I weird for that? I'm sorry for repeating the same thing but idk how to explain it.

Chapter 1: Omg that angst part was so strong! It hurt so bad! Mino was so slow, but this is much better, because he will get to his feelings naturally.
Okay... now that scene in Mino's bedroom.. this delicious tension between them and unspoken feelings... you know I was struggling there because I realized I didn't want this story to end!!! I still regret that it ended... i want more of them!!! Their love making was just perfect♡ I still can't believe it!
The ending... I'm wailing because it ended, so sweet and right. I want more. More of your minwoo, your jinwoo, your mino and how you see them. I feel so alive after reading this story! And in awe!!! You wrote so well, so meaningful! Minwoo being soulmates always warms my heart! Thank you Jean, so much thanks for this!❤
