"EMBRACE YOUR DIFFERENCES AND THE QUALITIES ABOUT YOU THAT YOU THINK ARE WEIRD. EVENTUALLY, THEY'RE GOING TO BE THE ONLY THINGS SEPARATING YOU FROM EVERYONE ELSE."
- Sebastian Stan

MI-YOUNG PARK WAS HAPPY.

There was a certain joy she felt every time she walked down the halls, past the numerous nameless faces.

It was hard to get used to the school days with the obnoxious peers, who would still treat her differently because of the way she looked or acted.

There were a countless amount of times she would pass by the same old blonde beauty with those deep iridescent azure eyes feeling slightly ashamed but not as much as she used to.

And the annoyingly rude stares she would receive when she showed up to school in her classic conservative attire was none too pleasant.

But the stares she would get from a not-so-obnoxious peer was what kept her going.

The stare that would seep past the back of Mi-Young's head or the side of her face, like she was the only person in the crowded, bustling halls.

The stare that made Mi-young feel all warm and fuzzy in her stomach with a blush creeping up her face, enveloping her soul, making her see all the glimmering sparkles surrounding him.

The stare that would bring a smile slick on her face as she would softly glance back at his rosy cheeks.

It was the stare of adoration.

The stare of adoration that kept her warm and cozy during the days and nights, making her see blue.

The blueness of the skies and nights alongside the twinkling stars of endless possibilities.

She saw blue.

Warmth wrapped around her, making her dizzy from all the comfort and love she would receive from embracing her true self.

This sweet warm feeling melted into her soul like honey, slipping through her system that had her enveloped in blue crystal skies.

She felt warm.

But not warm enough to keep her away from the icy cold hand that still remained on her shoulder, beckoning for her to turn around down the past path where all the pretty lies would unfold.

Down the path a few months back where she could see him in all his iniquitous glory. 

The warm embraces could only keep her feeling secure for so long.

And soon enough, all Mi-young could see was red.
