YEONJUN POV

Headmaster Choi had dropped me off at the dorms for House Oceania. The dorm was filled with mirrors & many things to help your appearances. Perfumes, colognes, makeup, accessories, & many more.

So I did what I would've done even if I hadn't managed to get sorted into House Oceania. I situated myself in front of mirror. Most say you shouldn't stare at your reflection in the mirror for many reasons. One you can completely give yourself anxiety ,& lose all sense of reality. Essentially thinking your body has changed or that your reflection is corrupted somehow. Like something lived in the mirror.

The other reason so many mirrors is a problem is because mostly for non-magical people or avid believers in the paranormal believe it opens a portal allowing ghosts  to be trapped or allow other things to travel from place to place. I stared at my reflection when I could've swore my reflection creepily smirked at me.

"W-what ? What is this ?" This is when I heard a very clear voice. It seemed to only speak so I could hear ,& through my reflection. "무서워하지 마세요, 연준아. 해치지 않을게요." (Don't be scared, Yeonjun ah. I won't hurt you.) I jumped back slightly. Why was this happening ?

I needed to be cautious of whatever this thing was. "What do you want ? Why me ?" The thing had my reflection pacing back & forth in the mirror. It sighed, "Not everything can be explained, Yeonjun. All you need to know is my patience has already hit its limit for the day."

This is when I realized whatever or whoever this was clearly very perceptive. I stared as as I tried to find eye contact with my reflection. "Go away. I command you to leave & never return." It preceded to laugh in my face. I looked around & no one else seemed to notice what was going on with me. "나한테 명령할 순 없어요! 모든 게 당신 때문은 아니잖아요! 여기 더 큰 그림이 있어요!" (You can't command me ! Not everything is about you ! There's a bigger picture here !)

I snapped. It was like my heart rate suddenly sped up for no reason. "WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME ?!" My reflection reached a hand through the mirror, taking hold of my throat firmly. "Be at the Lake Of Mist at midnight sharp. Not a minute late. Got that ?"

I couldn't ask before everything went black....

----------------------------------------------

I awoke in the hospital wing. My throat was sore ,& I avoided looking at myself in the mirror. A first for sure. The four others I met earlier looked just as terrified. What was going to happen to us ?

I had no time to think before I was suddenly shoved into the Lake Of Mist. I tried to grab hold of anyone or anything, but it was of no use. Pretty soon I was completely out of it. My longs filled with mist & my mind drifted elsewhere.
