Dare: Love within the student council

same differences

Bang Yedam clicked his tongue as he traced the antique with his finger. His eyes focused on the round object, he knew Haruto would worship him for having this in his possession.

He traced the cold metal with his long porcelain-like bony fingers, eyes captured by the intricate details of the designs engraved on the round surface. 

He flipped the antique item on his hands and stared at his reflection. He closed his eyes slightly as he inhaled. He remembered the mechanics of the game as explained by the legal representative of the late Bang Yoohan, Seunghun's father. 

"He left you, your grandfather's descendant to be exact, this item in hopes that you might find meaning to his action. But first, you need to know its name" 

Yedam had the urge to laugh as he ran his hands on his raven mane, eyes obviously amused at the whole situation. He did not even need to do his research, Haruto had shown him a picture of it once. He wonders how Haruomi-san would react. 

"He'd probably offer me the whole of their clan" Yedam chuckled to himself and placed the mirror on the desk. "Yata no Kagami, the one lost in the fire. So the one in Ise shrine is also a replica?" Yedam stared at the burnt part of the mirror, an obvious indication of it surviving the tragic fire. 

"Dammie?" Hyunsuk entered the room abruptly, not minding if Yedam had allowed him or not. This was his right, only his. If it was anyone aside from him, even other Kings members, Yedam would probably go into a rage. 

"Sukkie hyung" Yedam smiled weakly as he let Hyunsuk seat on his bed. 

"How did it go?" asked the blonde college student, who stared at the mirror on the desk. "Yata no Kagami?"

"Or so, I don't know if its original or not" 

"Should be. Bang Yoohan is world renowned appraiser and collector" 

"But, he was not on the first half of his life. He became a well-known recluse when he was 35." 

"Right, have you told the gang about this?" Hyunsuk took the mirror and examined it closely. He was not one with a penchant for antiques so he immediately placed it down after losing interest. "Haruto is gonna go mad with jealousy"

"I was thinking the same" Yedam chuckled as he dropped his body on his comfortable bed, letting the bedframe squeak a little at the sudden weight added. 

"So what's this thing got to do with the game?"

"That's the game. I need to find that out" 

"Need help?" Hyunsuk stood up from the bed and took the bunch of papers bundled near the desk. He guessed that it would be information about the item and he was right. As he was scanning the details quickly, Hyunsuk absentmindedly recited, "Did you know that the mirror symbolized wisdom and honesty?"

"Honesty? Mirror? Reflection?" Yedam mumbled as his brain tried to untangle the connection between the item and the game. Why the mirror? Because it reflects the holder. You. Why the Yata no Kagami? It symbolizes honesty and wisdom. Who is it reflecting? You, Bang Yoohan's adopted brother's descendant. 

"Hyung!" Yedam screamed making Hyunsuk drop the paper he was holding in surprise. "I think I go it" 

"Damn it, Dammie. You can have your Eureka moment without trying to stop my heart" Hyunsuk frowned as he stared at Yedam who sat up with a bright and playful grin across his face. "So what is it?"

"I need your help, no, I need Gonnie-hyung's help"

"Then you need my help. Gon's mine so" Hyunsuk laughed as Yedam playfully hit him on the shoulders. "What do you need him for?"
