Break Into My World

14: Through the Mirror

The next day came to be rather tense. With Keonhee not home, and the others at school or work, the house was very quiet. Ravn found himself to be quite panicked. He didn't follow Hwanwoong to work, giving the shorter some needed space for the day. The pink-head didn't particularly lash out at him earlier that morning, but he did give him a cold-shoulder. And Ravn was being somewhat understanding, Hwanwoong has a lot going through his head right now.

To say the least Ravn was being avoidant for the sake of trying to manage his emotions as well. He realized Hwanwoong knows way too much for his liking, and he can't seem to understand if that really upsets him, or if he feels relieved. Either way, he's worried about the shorters safety.

Ravn turned out to not be alone for as long as he thought he'd be. He's aware of the other four housemates schedules, and predicted to have at least till noon to himself. Reminding him of long days before Hwanwoong appeared in his life.

Walking around his strange-tinted world, he heard a sound resembling a beep, low in volume. It seemed to be the only sound he could hear to signal the door opening, that is if he didn't sense someone walk onto the property. He turned to look towards the front door, his vision revealing someone he didn't want to see. Someone that caused his already unstable emotions to run haywire.

"Everyone's just avoiding me today, that's just lovely." Seoho was talking to himself, speaking in a heavily sarcastic tone.

The brunettes eyes wandered up and around the living room, somehow landing directly where Ravn stood. It always makes Ravn uncomfortable, because he knows very well that no one can see him without a reflection, that 'no one' being both Hwanwoong and Seoho. Yet Seoho seems to have a pretty good sense at knowing where he's being watched from, almost always resulting in him looking directly in Ravn's direction, mirror or no mirror.

"Stop watching me." Seoho snapped, standing upright after taking off his shoes. He made his way to his bedroom, where Ravn followed. The boy in the mirror simply wanted to observe the brunette. Plus, who was he to actually listen to an order.

Ravn stood directly opposite of the mirror in the bedroom, staring at Seoho. The downfall that Ravn got used to was that Seoho can't hear him, no matter what he tries. Screaming, whispering, talking in a normal tone, trying to reach out in some way, none of it worked with Seoho, but it worked perfectly fine with Leedo. And normally the brunette has his back turned to each and every mirror, avoiding looking at the male trapped within.

Seoho put his things down, taking out homework pages and workbooks that merely got thrown onto the end of his bed. He checked his phone momentarily, releasing a loud huff.

"What the hell do you even want from me?" Seoho turned to face the mirror for once, standing before it as if to get in Ravn's face. "Why can't you just disappear like you always do, huh? God I hate that you are so prominent now, just go away."

Ravn felt his anger boil, but as he felt his tipping point get near, he couldn't help but feel sad. A huge feeling of uncertainty, followed by anxiety, ending in sorrow. Seoho had this affect, to cause Ravn to go through so many emotions at once. Ravn didn't know how the brunette did it, but it sure did the trick at keeping him away.

So just like that Ravn disappeared from Seoho's view. To which Seoho let out a heavy sigh, falling back onto his bed. His hands moved to cover his eyes, trying to stop tears from flowing. Just like Ravn, Seoho also feels that constant change in emotions that make his life hard to live. It was the cost of keeping what he viewed as a threat out of his life.

Back in Hwanwoong's bedroom, Ravn again felt uneasy and panicked. He tried to distract himself with something, but seeing as he can't pick anything up, that idea becomes boring and useless very fast. His only option was to go to the person that makes him feel alive.
