Taeyong knitted his eyebrows together as he watched Jeno disappear behind the cloth, becoming utterly confused as to where he had just gone. Slowly making his way over, he grabbed onto the cloth and shifted it to the side.

The sight of the object behind made him stagger and release the cloth, stepping back and putting a hand over his mouth. He was very familiar with what was behind, flashbacks of the past filled his mind at a million miles per hour. What the hell was this doing here?

The pink haired looked around him for a moment, trying to recompose himself before he looked at it again. He gently pushed aside the soft cloth and saw a glass pane behind, the frame just as beautiful since the last time it was seen. His reflection stared back at him as he studied the piece of art.

"How the hell did he get through..?" Taeyong muttered to himself, suddenly remembering something and releasing the cloth again.

He side glanced to the now covered mirror, feeling his conscience saying to tell Mr. Na about this, but his instinct said otherwise. Something wasn't right here, and before his boss does any harm, he wants to know what's happening first.

Taeyong quietly walked back into the kitchen, grabbing the snack he wanted and heading back upstairs.

"Nana!" Jeno said happily as he wrapped the younger in a hug, the gesture being returned quickly as the other buried his head into his shoulder.

"I'm so glad you're safe!" Nana squeezed even tighter, making Jeno giggle at how cute he was.

They pulled away after a few seconds and Jeno looked momentarily at Nana's face, still seeing the mask covering like every other time. But something struck him weirdly familiar, and he shook his head. By the time he opened his eyes, that filling had disappeared.

"Did you rescue Chenle??" Nana asked while maintaining eye contact with Jeno through his mask.

Jeno scratched the back of his neck and averted his gaze. "Not yet, but I'm working on it."

Nana raised an eyebrow in confusion and Jeno just shrugged off his inquisitive look. "You wanna go sit on the couch? I can explain more, if you want."

Nana nodded and smiled, following the older to the couch that backed onto the wall, collapsing on it and turning to the dark haired. "So?"

"Well, to start it off, my boss is now living with me," Jeno groaned and rubbed his head, unaware of the fact that Nana's eyes widened like flying saucers.

His heart began to pick up pace at the mention of the boss. Here? In this house? Nana was absolutely screwed if he were to find this mirror. He bit his lip and clenched his fists, mind wondering what possibilities lay ahead.
