What do you see in the mirror?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Again.
It was happening again.

That wretched nightmare Hoseok seemed to be having almost every night.
When it started? Only weeks before. Why? He had no idea, he hasn't told anyone either.

He wasn't even sure if it was a dream, or if it was more than a figment of his broken mind's imagination.

It'd start with him lying on the cold, hard floor, he felt the shivers creeping up his spine as if it were real.
His eyes would peer open, sitting up to a dimly lit room with only mirrors to encase him.

He'd see himself of course, his startled reflection waking up to mystery.
Despite the many times he had this dream, it felt new every time.

He'd call on for ounces of strength to let him stand up, composure wavering as he tried to find balance.
But he always kept his eyes on himself, because it wasn't always him.

It would dissipate, changing to someone else.
A petite woman would replace him, with small hair framing her pale face ghastly.

Her eyes sunken and bloodshot, her frame bony and frail.
She recognised him, as he did her, trying to open her mouth.

It was clear she wanted help, but the brown-haired man could only watch her with fear.
Sometimes he talked, questioned, interrogated.

To no avail, as much as tried, her lips would not open.

거울에다 지껄여봐 너는 대체 누구니
Try babbling into the mirror, who the heck are you

These nightmares happened regardless of events in his life.
Regardless of how happy or how miserable he felt, it would be the same.

Sometimes he wanted to break the invisible barrier between them, sometimes he wanted to scream and wake up.
Sometimes he felt so low that he wanted to shout the the woman, venomously blaming her.

Alas, he knew what was right and what was not.
What exactly was he to do?
