~Lia's P.O.V~
After chatting with Soobin, my mind got curious over my condition. Hearing that my parents are synesthetes, I wanted to search more about my it. I got more curious and wanted to learn more. What if it's not really a gift? Cuz some tell me it's a disorder... I don't wanna believe those people, let's search it first to make sure of it. I'm currently lying at my bed, surfing the internet about synesthesia.

The Many Types Of Synesthesia Explained | Betterhelp
Grapheme-Color Synesthesia
Grapheme-color synesthesia is one of the most prevalent and most studied. In it, the synesthete has a natural association of written letters and numerals to colors.
'This is me!'
Some persons find it is very advantageous to have grapheme-color synesthesia as it has been proven to AID MEMORY and, by extension, learning.
'Ohhh. So it can also help with my memory...'
Ordinal Linguistic Personification
The synesthete perceives ordered sequences such as numbers, letters, days, months, etc. as having inherently distinct personality traits and gender.
'I also have this!'
Chromesthesia
Sounds heard by the synesthete are associated or perceived as particular colors.
'This is what my dad has... Price Tag being orange.'
Spatial Sequence Synesthesia
In it, sequences such as numbers, letters, months and dates are perceived as occupying points in space. For example, there are synesthetes who, when thinking of letters, might see A farther away than B and perhaps B higher than C.
Mirror-Touch Synesthesia
The synesthete feels the same sensations as someone else. The mirror-touch sensation can be activated by real-life, in person situations or by watching someone on a screen.
'Do I have this? I think I do... Ok I don't really know but maybe I do...'
Auditory-Tactile Synesthesia
It occurred when sounds heard by the synesthete produces a tactile sensation on certain areas inside and outside of the body. A sound might feel like a tingling sensation to one synesthete while to another that same sound is perceived as the pressure we normally associate with something pressing against our skin.
Number Form Synesthesia
In number form synesthesia, the synesthete involuntarily sees a mental map of any group of numbers they think about.
Lexical-Gustatory (And Sound-Gustatory) Synesthesia
A person who has lexical-gustatory synesthesia senses words (both spoken and written) as distinct tastes, smells and textures in the mouth or senses the tastes in their head.
'This is my mom!'
Misophonia
It is a condition in which the synesthete experiences negative and aggressive emotional reactions to sound.

Synesthesia Project | FAQ - Boston University
No, synesthesia is not a disease. In fact, several researchers have shown that synesthetes can perform better on certain tests of memory and intelligence.
'So it's not a disorder? Thank goodness!'
Looks like I already know my condition! I'm thankful it's not a disorder. Some people think I'm going crazy... Haha. Now I can reassure my friends that my synesthesia is something else and it doesn't make me look like a weirdo. Time to turn off the wifi then! Cuz it's already night time and I need to go to sleep. But there's something else in my mind...
Soobin is not all green.
