Colors in Colorless

Story: While art colleges decline color blind students, a red&green colorblind girl strives for getting into top art colleges and the people she encounters in the process make her meditate about herself and the world she lives in. 

The story in detail: 

Min knows she has red&green color blindness at a very young age. After a conversation with her mom after school, she watches students passing her and finally decides that she still wants to study art. Although being good at drawing, she used to be laughed at by her classmates because of her paintings. In order to pass the art college entrance exam, she spends tons of time and effort memorizing color blind test books and colors of daily objects, which would be a part of the college entrance exam. Her friend Alex, a skinny boy with gastritis, studies with her everyday.

From prep tests, she finds that she can rely on her friends’ reminders when they are in the same classroom(short conversations are allowed in tests). As the test approaches, Alex has more and more serious stomach pains. Alex is also struggling with his failure in a competition. Not only students, but their parents are also anxious about the college entrance exam as well, an example of whom is Alora, Alex's mom.

Days before the college entrance exam when test rooms and seats are published, Min is notified that there happens to be nobody she knows in the same room with her. She gambles and paints on the exam, and suddenly heard mumbles at her back from a group of supervisors, just like how other students talked and laughed about her work when she was young. She realizes that she might paint something wrong, analyzes her work, and paint another color to cover the part she might be wrong about.
