Different

Chapter 1

Baekhyun's POV

Some people say that being different is actually cool. They forgot to mention that it only applies to a new crazy hairstyle or fashion statement that's makes you stand out for the right reasons.

I was different in so many ways but believe me when i say it wasn't for the right reasons. first of all i was color blind. Everything was in black and white for me.

I used to be a quiet child so it took my foster parents a while to notice that i was different.

i don't remember much before i met my foster parents. Apparently they was some tragic fire that took my whole family and my memories when i was young.

There is even an old newspaper article talking about the big fire that took many lives that night.

I had googled it once or twice seeing old pictures of the wreckage and the assumptions the fire department made on the causes of the fire. No one was really sure about what had happened but i didn't like to dwell on the issue.

i had no memory of my real family so i didn't miss them but the thought that i once had blood related family is what hurt.

My foster parents were the best and took great care of me. They were actually really cool people.

Basically the usual all American couple who couldn't have their own children and so they decided to adopt the most adorable Asian child they could find.

Arwen, my foster mom, always tells me that what drew her in was my eyes. She said that i have the most beautiful and out of this world lilac eyes she had ever seen. Another reason i was different.

Since the only colors i could see was black, white and different shades of grey they only looked light grey to me.

Lester, my foster dad, said that what caught his attention was my strength. He said i had a good grip on his finger and it felt like i was going to break it. Yet another reason i was considered different.

i was short and had a small petite body frame. My mother likes to joke saying i was meant to be a girl because i was too pretty for a boy. But even thought i looked like i couldn't do much damage i was actually abnormally strong.

So strong that if my dad wanted to change the car tyre i would lift the car for him with one hand and not even break a sweat.

Not many people knew about this but that didn't mean i allowed anyone to bully me. just with the use of a little strength i haven't been bothered by bullies ever since.

I also had white hair. One thing i actually saw in the right color. i know what you are thinking. what is strange about having white hair. Imagine dying your hair black and then waking up the next morning with you natural white hair.

All i did was go to sleep and then BAM my hair was back to normal. Arwen and i tried everything but when my hair kept changing even before our eyes we gave up.

i was extremely different from the normal human being but my parents loved me all the same. My mom called me her little Clark Kent and my dad called me his little hulk.

My parents were weird but i loved them all the same. i would never trade them for anyone else.

Other than that i also had another strange ability but i never told even my parents about it.

Ever since i was young i was petrified of the dark. This one day they was a power cut when i was home alone. It was actually my 16th birthday but my parents had to rush to the next city because grandma was in ICU in critical condition. She had had a heart attack and they had to rush to see her.

i had to stay home because i had school the next day.

Anyway the lights went out and i legit screamed like a girl. i had no idea where the candles were or if we had any because that had never happened before.

i was about to pass out when something weird happened.

'Will you just shut up before you give me a headache'

'What the hell who is this' thought i was legit going crazy hearing voices in my head.

'My name is Fridolf but you can call me Fred'

'How the hell did you get Fred from Fridolf'

'Do you have a problem with my nickname?'

'I was thinking along the lines of Frid or Dolf or...actually Fred is good'

'This is not how i had imagined our first conversation' I could feel Fred roll his eyes and it felt weird.

'Am i going crazy?'

'No. The simplest way i can explain this is that i have always been a part of you but i could only come out now on your birthday. It will all make sense when you turn 18 or meet your mate'

'My what now?'

'Opps too much information. Anyway remember we are in the dark'

He said and i was immediately filled with fear again.

'Calm down. Open your palm. Focus on creating light on it'

'That sounds stupid'

'Just do it'

'Fine' i said before doing what i was told and all of a sudden a small light orb started growing on my palm.

That day i discovered i had light powers and it was also the day Fred started talking to me.

If i ever thought i was a tiny bit human all my hope was flushed down the toilet that day.
