SUMMARY: Jung Yunho, a dance instructor with singing and rapping talent.
He’s appearance are perfect enough to make girls drooling for him. His toned body, tanned skin, handsome masculine face, wealthy.
But of course every human has their scuff. The perfect Yunho is suffering from Deuteranopia (color blindness).
Since he was born, he had never knew what is red, blue, green or rainbows. His world is full of black and white. But then came an event that changes everything. For the first time he saw colors from a painter in a park. Not from the palette, but from the painter himself…
~!~
You with the sad eyes
Don’t be discouraged
Oh I realize
It’s hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
And the darkness, inside you
Can make you feel so small
“Yo! Yunho! Let’s try some noisy beat!”
“Gosh Yoochun! You're so noisy.”
The man who stood on the threshold is Park Yoochun. He's my friend since forever. And I know that his mouth can't even shut up for a minute.Especially when he...
"Jung Yunho!!! I came all the way from Japan to propose you! Hahahaha!"
...yeah, do that.
Now you know what I meant. See what Yoochun did? Now the girls in the studio thinks that their instructor is a gay.
It's true that I always had hard times finding a girl to date. Finding it hard to get attracted to them precisely. Unlike my friend here, his words are like streams of the arizona river, in other words, he's a big flirt. Maybe God gave him mouth to use it for good deeds instead of screaming out my name and proposing me.
"Cut it, Park. You're still as disgusting as always. What makes you come back to Korea, dude?"
"Ah, that...I want to introduce my lover to my parents. We're going to get engage after their approval. Oh, I almost forgot..."
Yoochun introduce Junsu to me. He had small eyes, spiky raven hair, and he's funny and cheery too. Just like Yoochun.
"So, Yunho, do you have a lover?"
"Nope, not interested."
“Come On dude! You're what-28? 29? And your still single? Holy Mary Mother of God.”
Junsu grabbed Yoochun's palm and squeezed it. "Chunnie, you can't judge wether someone has to have a lover or not by their ages. Don't you realize, that you're also 29?"
"But I found you, baby." The older guy tease while pinching Junsu's nose.
Yunho just rolled his eyes.
"Hey, single man, howbout going to Japan with us and attend the Tanabata Ceremony?"
"Yoochun ah, I told you before didn't I? It's not that I don't want to but you know, I have this...disability. I guess no one wants to have a boyfriend like me."
“Hey, hey, dude, chill out. I didn't say that you have to date someone from the ceremony. All you have to do is hang your wish and wait til it comes true."
"And what if it doesn't come true?"
"Well look at us? We met in Tanabata."
Tanabata, I often hear about this ceremony. But I don't know it really is.
After a few days, I decided to accept Yoochun's offer. Besides, it's been a while that i have a vacation.
All this times, I've been busy managing the company my parents left for me before they died in an airplane crash. Also the studio, the instructor really need some time off."
Okay,okay, back to me again. I don't know what I was thinking but here I am in the middle of a crowd asking for a match. I know I sounded so desperate, but trust me. This is just for fun.
After writing my wish, I grab a cup of coffee from a nearby vending machine and sat on a bench.Couples were busy chatting in Japanese, holding hands and cuddling. To be honest, I don't really understand Japanese so well. Just a couple of 'aishiteru and arigatou'.
I look around my surroundings, then my eyes stopped on a Sakura tree. Even though I'm suffering from Deuteranopia or what's usually called color blindness but I know what color Sakura is.
As I was enjoying the view, something caught my attention.
For the first time in my life, I saw colors...
But I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that’s why I love you
So don’t be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow
At first, I couldn't bring myself to believe it. I rubbed my eyes a couple of times, then I slowly walk behind the person under the tree and took a peek on what he's drawing.
Children's playing around the park, elders playing chess, couples eating ice cream.
Realizing my existance, he turned back and widen his eyes in shock.
"I-I'm sorry... I-I didn't meant to..." I blabbered in Japanese.
His puffed his cheek and then let out the most beautiful smile I've seen. "It's okay..." he answered it in Korean.
"W-wait? You're Korean too?" I asked in surprise and he just nodded.
"How do you know I'm Korean?" He pointed at my bag with a my hangeul name on it. Then we suddenly burst into laughter. Gosh, even his laugh is so melodious.
We chat for a while, discussing stuffs like favorite dining places and KTVs in Korea.
"So, you're here to find a partner?" he asked me.
Then he giggled sweetly when he earned a nod from me. His laughing manners is so unique, the way he covers his mouth when laughing.
I laughed at him when he accidentally painted his cheek with the brush that he held while covering his mouth. Slowly, I wiped away the stain on his porcelain face with my thumb.
Staring back at his big doe eyes. Everything on him is just perfect. He's like an angel. I must be crazy to hope that I could have his heart. It's as impossible as rain falling in a sunny day like that day.
Realizing that we're in an awkward position where my palm is still on his face,I let go of his face and apologized to him.
Tiny drops of water slowly fell from the sky, the rain is coming.
I helped him packed his stuff, took my coat off to cover his paintings.
The rain was pouring too hard, that we have stop in an empty bus station.
I saw his face and hair all soaked up, and out of my awareness, I took out my handkerchief and gave it to him.
He muttered a thank you and smiled to me. Oh how I want to kiss those plump lips so badly. I have to admit that the situation was helping.
Show me a smile then,
Don’t be unhappy, can’t remember
When I last saw you laughing
If this world makes you crazy
And you’ve taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I’ll be there
In the midst of the pouring rain that's blurred visions. Our face drew closer til our lips touched.
“I'm sorry Jaejoong, I didn't meant to be rude to you. I'm so sorry.”
“It's okay. I'm suppose to be say sorry too."
There was a pregnant silence till the both of us started to speak.
“You…”
“You…”
“I…”
“i…” We laughed at our sillyness.
“You first, Jaejoong.”
He blushed madly and shook his head shyly.
“No, never mind.”
I swear I saw him blushed and he realized that I've been staring at him.
“Stop staring, Yunho.”
He looked up letting our eyes met. Suddenly, I felt a soft lips touched mine.
"You're different, you know that?" I mumbled on his damped hair while we were hugging."Because only in you, I could see colors. You're the color of my life, Jaejoong."
He just answered it in a smile. "You too."
At first, I don't understand why he said that, but now I know, that we have a similarity and we're meant to be...
And I’ll see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that’s why I love you
So don’t be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow
That's how I found the love of my life. If you want to know what I wrote on the wishing wood, well here it is:
'I wish I could meet someone who could give me back all the colors in my life. -Jung Yunho-'
And here we are, standing under the tree of hope, looking at our wishing wood. For the first time in my life, Park Yoochun is being useful. And I'm very thankful to that guy.

Extras; Jaejoong’s POV
It's the 2nd day after I hung my wishing wood on that tree. But i couldn't spot even a dot of colors from my surroundings.
Yes, I was borned color blinded, but my case was a unique one.
The only color I could see is my palette and my canvas. Could it be because my father was a painter, I don't know. I found this situation weird too.
All my life, I never thought of finding a partner, because I certainly believe that no one wants an abnormal person like me. That's why I dedicated my life to arts and pursue my study in Japan.
When i was about to paint, I saw a group of men and women, boys and girls crowding a tree and hanging a block of wood. That's when I decided to hung my wish.
'I wish I could meet the color of my life. -Kim Jaejoong-'
I didn't ask much. I just needed someone who could be the color of my life. Because color is important for a painter, and I want whoever the person meant for me to be important too.
On the third day, like always, I resume my paintings of the park's surrounding, and that's when i met the color of my life.
The person whom I've waited for so long, Jung Yunho...
