(a confusing normal-sized chapter a tad bit long but don't worry the end is near, DOUBLE UPDATE!!!)

I already lost control,

.

Jisung p.o.v

I was surrounded by hundreds of mirrors reflecting myself.

What the--

Where am I?

All I saw was me, in every reflection except for my face, my face was...

smashed.

I touched my face feeling my nose and lips, why does my reflection look like that?

Just for a split second, I saw a figure behind me, dark and tall. I turned around gasping when I saw him. Almond-like skin, long curly locks in front of his eyes, outgrown.

I stared at his face, the scar on his left eye was no longer there I frowned.

"Hey sung," He smiled at me.

"Jasper,"

His blue eyes stared at me searching my face.

"Why? Why did you do it?" he asked, tilting his head. His eyebrows knitted together as if he were offended.

"You know I didn't mean to--" I tried to explain but he cut me off.

"Why did you kill me? I thought I was your best friend Jisung, how did you move on so easily?"

"Jasper-- I, I didn't I just--" my words broke and made no sense because all I wanted to do was break down and cry. I tried to stay strong. I told myself I could handle it. But even I knew I couldn't.

"You told me I was your everything, that you couldn't live if I wasn't with you!" Jasper screamed.

"I did lose, I lost my everything! I lost you!" I yelled back my adrenaline was pumping hard and I could hear my heartbeat in my ears as if it were about to explode from my chest in any second.

"Letting you go," I stopped looking at his face.

"was the hardest thing I've ever done..."

He was silent for a moment. My chest ached, there were rocks in my throat, and I knew if I opened my mouth to speak I wouldn't be able to stop my crying. But tears escaped and rolled down my cheeks nonetheless.

"Please don't go again," I approached him, wiping my tears away. I hugged him. He patted my back comforting me.

"You know the worst part about this?" I asked with tears in my eyes as I looked around the mirrored room trying to avoid the tears from leaving.

"What?" He asked me, wrapping his arms around me.

"You're fake,"

"All of this is fake," I whisper before gasping for air because I feel like I might die.

"You're not him, you'll never be him, you just look like him, smell like him, talk like him. But you could never be him, you're not,"

"You're not him," I sob, holding him even tighter.

"I'm not him," the figure repeated. I could hear the smile in its voice.

The figure I was holding in my arms disappeared.

I put my arms around myself wiping my wet cheeks.

The whole incident came back to me, a specific part in my memory that could not be erased no matter what.

"JASPER!" I screamed at him trying to control the fire that was spreading fast.

"Jisung!" He yelled back looking at me in horror.

"MOVE! I'm losing control!"

"You're going to be okay sung! Just remember master Tamari's teachings!"

"It's not working J!"

"Jasper, leave! This is getting harder to control, you're making me feel emotions I shouldn't! I'll lose control if you don't leave!"

"Leave? Sung, look at your face! I'm not going to leave you!"

"Oh look it's the freak!" One of the bullies came his name was Can, he was a Thai student awfully rude to everyone.

It didn't help me much, the fire flared up, even more, feeling my rage.

"Shut up!" Jasper screamed at Can who didn't listen.

"What did you tell me freak #2?"

Jasper gulped. He wasn't all that good at cultivating at all; he wouldn't be able to protect himself!

Can punches Jasper leading him right in front of the fire inches away from his nose. He grins waving at me before looking at Can again. Can was big, towering everyone and especially buff.

I glared at Can, trying to direct the fire his way so I could give him a slight burn so he could leave me and my best friend alone.

But the fire had gotten both of them,

and neither had just a small burn.

I stared at my hands ever since then. I've never used my powers. Not even to start a small fire while making my rice cakes.

I looked at my hands putting them on my face,

I just wanted to give up.

I don't want to lose control,

but,

I had done it again.

I had lost my grip on my cultivation. I thought I'd be able to do it, I thought I could finally control it but as soon as I saw Minho in front of me. I had lost it. I had lost it because I was so sure I was going to hurt him like Jasper, I was going to hurt someone who had meant everything to me again.

The thought scared me so much I began to lose control,

If it wasn't for Stay who saved us both,

Minho wouldn't be with me, hell I wouldn't be here either.

I was so lost for so long...

But now?

Now I'm aware of who I am.

I am Han Jisung of Stray Kids, the master of fire.

And I have something to live for.
