Skin

Description

An introspective look at Hakyeon’s struggle with his innate insecurity.

Foreword

VIXX; Hakyeon-centric + Slight Neo/Leon (Hakyeon x Taekwoon); Angst + Hurt/Comfort; 1125w; PG13; One-Shot

Trigger Warning: Body image issues (hinted Body Dysmorphic Disorder); disturbing imagery

Disclaimer: This piece is a work of fiction and nothing more. The characters depicted in this story are in no way realistic representations of their actual counterparts, and should be taken as literary inspirations of the latter and nothing more. No form of defamation is intended. Please seek medical help if you’re suffering from BDD.

 

Inspired in a spur of the moment fashion by the ludicrous amount of hate/criticisms/negativity directed towards Hakyeon’s skin tone from both fans and foes.

This is also unfortuntately, the first creative piece I've written since over a year and a half ago, so let me first apologise if it's not up to scratch! (And yes, I like to write in huge paragraphs.)

Chapter 1: I too am as disappointed as you author nim when fans or anti or even other Vixx members poke fun at N skin....he's skin is a just tanner than others
and its not like he's skin is a disease or something... They all over exaggerated it...
He is beautiful as he is and this story is beautiful too.....

Chapter 1: Can I just say.... Wow.

Your writing is absolutely amazing. These are the kind of stories that I love finding in the Vixx tag. Every sentence is full of powerful and raw emotion, and I can only dream of being able to write like this. I hope that you continue to write, and if this is unpolished for you, I don't want to think about how amazing your finished pieces are.

Chapter 1: Simply gorgeous, I like the way you described Hakyeon's feelings, giving clues that he is ashamed about the colour of his skin, and not giving direct statements about that. Anyone with insecurities can come back to this story and relate to it, and also find warmth and reaasurance given by the character called Taekwoon. Very inspiring. Good job, keep writing!
