Colors - Prologue
Extract from the story: “Do you know what happens if you mix every color of the rainbow? Light. It generates light. And as melodramatic as it sounds, that’s what I see when I’m with you, guys."
Summary: a tale of how friendship helped and brought seven people out of the dark. Because there is always light at the end of a tunnel, no matter how dark and how long it can be.
Inspired by Day6′s “Colors”
Genre: angst, fluff, romance, a bit of thriller, dramatic (you’ll be in for one hell of a ride) Normal life!AU
Warning: mature contents ahead. Mentions of depression, drugs, alcohol, violence, swearing. May be triggering for some, so read while keeping this in mind. I promise I’ll be as careful as possible, though.

Prologue - “Numb”
Living in a big city came with its ups and downs.
Sure, being a pessimistic person he was bound to focus on what he disliked. For example on how it was simply overcrowded, from coffee shops, to parks, to retail stores. Even at 3:21AM in an anonymous 24/7 he managed to find a group of boys -probably around 18 years old- yelling and slurring around, much to his dispise. He also hated the fact that people on the streets would continuously bump into him. Sure, those pavements weren’t wide enough, but he would’ve appreciated it if people put a tiny bit of attention into where they where going rather than put it into their phones. Seriously, not even The Walking Dead’s zombies where that dumb.
But city life had its perks, too. Even if you were surrounded by thousands of people, you could still go easily unnoticed: everyone was too busy focusing on their on business to care; even in such a judgemental society, you could still be invisible. He absoluely adored that.
So why wasn’t Min Yoongi in his studio flat, pacing around, sleeping or staring angrily at that damn notebook that kept on being immaculate? The young man exhaled loudly, squinting his eyes as he looked through the window on his right. Instead of Seoul’s city lights, its neons or its big screens that glowed constantly, his view was on a nice kept garden, with benches, flowers, a few trees and even a small pond. For what felt like an hour, he had been staring at two ducks, that were floating peacefully on it, trying to figure out the exact reason behind his presence there. Yoongi wasn’t surprised when, looking at the clock on the wall, he learned that more than three hours had passed. It wasn’t the first time that he had lost track of time, trying to find answers. Too many thoughts blinded his mind, not letting him see through the curtain of fog that had long ago started clouding it. "But that’s not it”, he whispered. He had spent years that way and to his humble opinion everything was going decently. Surely not the extraordinary life he had dreamed of as a child, but still a decent one. Until she came. Right from the start he started asking himself with what right she thouht she could turn everything upside down. After all, he liked his routine. But determination, strong-will, passion: he absolutely adored those. The way she went against those rumors, not giving a damn about what people said about him. He tried to make it through for her, because he wanted to prove them all -and maybe, himself too- wrong, just to make them see that she had been right on him all along. He gave his all. So why did she give in? Why did she bring him here? Why did she leave?
Min Yoongi closed his eyes shut, fists shaking, biting his lower lip hard. He wasn’t angry, he didn’t feel like shouting or breaking things. No. Min Yoongi was numb. Or at least that was what he wanted others to believe, what he wanted to believe. Trying to convince himself as he did his best to fight the tears that were coming.
Hello everybody! If you read up to this point, the only thing I can say is: thank you so much!
This is my first series ever. I planned the storyline for like two years more or less, and now I think it’s finally time to share it. POVs will change throught the book, so all seven of the boys will have a part. So yeah, this is not Yoongi biased, don’t worry my fellow readers. Now, onto technical stuff… This series is inspired by the HYYW trilogy, as well as WINGS, and coincidentally Love Yourself (Istg they read my mind). But it’s mainly inspired by the song Colors by Day6, which you can listen to if you click on its title in the description above. As I said, this story is gonna have mature themes in it. Please be aware of this, I wouldn’t want to trigger anyone. I also promise to treat such matters in the most delicate and professional way: I won’t romanticize stuff and I’ll do my best to make this as real as possible. But don’t worry! It won’t be only angst, fluff will be present too. I’m a softie after all.
Let me know what you think! Criticism, opinions, guesses on what’s gonna happen next… they’re very well welcomed!
Love you and thank you again, -WOKW Stuff
Chapter 1 will be coming on Saturday/Sunday! Stay tuned 😉
