Jimin is on the edge of the bed with his legs crossed and his elbows resting on his knees.


His reflection is sitting on the floor inside the mirror in the same position, though his arms are behind him and his leaning against his hands.


They are staring at each other.


The reflection is making faces at Jimin.


First he sticks his tongue out and squints his eyes, then he puffs out his cheek and mocks a silent farting sound.


Jimin isn't sure how long this has gone on. He's lost track of time again.


 He was off work today, and after he came back from the gym in the morning he found his reflection acting like a child in the mirror. And he hasn't stopped since.


It's been about two weeks and his doppelganger has been making a constant appearance.


"You seem bored,"


Jimin decides to say to it, and at that this comment his reflection nods anxiously.


"What's it like in there?"


His reflection puts his hands on his eyes then pretends to look around.


"It's dark?" 


It nods, removing its hands. 


"But you can see my lights, right? You can see everything out here?


It nods again.


Jimin lets out a huff and without realizing it leans back to mock his reflections position. He cranes his head to look at the camera, then decides to pull out his phone to check the app.


But like all the other times this week when his reflection has decided to show up, the recording simply shows a basic mirror.


His reflection is there, though it's just Jimin himself.
