Chapter 50: The Mirror Realm (1)

The clone looked at him with a bright smile. A smile Yoongi had always used to mask the anxiety in his heart. Even the clone had a perfect copy of it.

It felt revolting and terrifying gazing into the eyes most identical to yours. Even the calm expression Yoongi had on his face shattered, revealing an exposed fearful emotion. In truth, What Yoongi feared most than the identical physical features was the thought that the other might also carry his own memories.

No, this was a test. Possibly, some part of the second trial. Based on the realm's name, the person in front of him should be his 'mirrored' self. He didn't know what he should do and what was the reason for this trial but he could only try to seek the answers starting with the person in front of him.

However, seeing that smile, those eyes, and the look on his clone's face. Yoongi felt that lookalike's expression knew what he was thinking and the fear in his heart. After all, it was his mirror self.

"Why so silent? Have you not recognized your own face?" The double grinned, eyes turning into crescents. Although his tone was joking the glare in his eyes was not.

"You are not me... " Yoongi whispered. However, he didn't know if he was saying it to himself or to the young man in front of him.

The double raised his eyebrows in surprise. "How smart. Your words are true, however. You don't know me but I know you... " he sneered. He walked towards Yoongi who prepared to invoke his ice abilities.

"You are not from this world... " The double's voice spoke in a whisper but it was enough to shock Yoongi still.

Yoongi's eyes turned unfocused. Breathing turned rapid. How... How did he know?

The double laughed, his silver eyes never looked away from Yoongi for even a single second. " Imposter underneath my body's skin. Tell me... Who isn't real between the both of us... You stole my family. You stole away my life. You stole the things that should've been mine! Tell me..."

"Y-you... "

Yoongi could not believe it... The person who was standing before him was...

"Y-you're Min Yoongi... "

The light in the double's eyes gleamed. "Ah, so you've realized... How does that make you feel, pretender?"

"I... " Yoongi could not utter any words. His heart was heavy. "I-I didn't... "

Light flashed on his bracelet and golden letters materialized in front of his eyes.

'Kill your mirror self or lose yourself'

Yoongi felt a chill as he read the words. To be released he needed to kill... him. But somehow his body could not bear to do it as if it would no longer answer to him but to the rightful owner of his body. His hands clenched into fists. The words the double had said earlier haunted him. A guilt-driven pain enveloped his heart within his chest. It was undeniably true, he was a thief to steal one's life.

Swish!

A large stake of frigid ice rushed directly towards his face. Yoongi was caught off guard but he managed to turn his body and dodge the attack. The double then lunged towards him with a strong desire to murder Yoongi and took what was rightfully his.

Yoongi managed to summon a dome shield of ice in front of him but it shattered as soon as it made contact with the forceful kick. The shards flew around Yoongi scraping his pale skin and tearing his uniform. The force was too strong that he fell on his back with a painful groan.
