Silence filled the room almost instantly, everyone staring at the event they had just witnessed. A sudden crash of a porcelain cup hitting the ground cut through the quietness, but no one even blinked an eye.

Taeyong stared at the two men that had fallen on top of each other, watching with wide eyes as the one with dark hair groaned and sat himself up, lending a hand to the other man. His hand that was once holding the cup, was now empty as his fingers went numb.

"Jeno!" Chenle yelled, but Taeyong immediately turned to him and gave him a look to shut his mouth, the last thing they need is unwanted attention.

Jeno rubbed his head and looked around the room, almost losing balance from how much he got used to the reversed setting, it now looked so unnatural. Nana was having the same problem, his head swimming as he tried to recoup himself, then widening his eyes upon the realization.

Was... was this the real world?

Nana automatically reached out and laced his fingers around Jeno's wrist, holding it closer to him for any type of mental support. This couldn't be happening. After all those years, is he genuinely free?

They stared across the hall and into the dining room area, observing just what was happening. The familiar pink haired man struck a chord with Nana, making his eyes widen. But what really struck Jeno was seeing his coworker, his butler, his butler's friend, and someone that seemed slightly familiar, all tied up.

"What the hell just happened," Donghyuck said utterly confused, looking around at anyone, looking at Mark for any explanation of why he just thought he saw Jeno and his boss jump through the mirror.

Chenle and Jisung have been told something about the mirror from Taeyong and his plan, but they were still in the dark about most things. And this was something they definitely did not expect.

Taeyong shook his head, wide eyes growing wider as he stepped towards them a few inches. "You need to hide."

Jeno looked from the pink haired man over to Nana who looked stunned, almost like he was in another world. But the sound of footsteps echoing down the stairs caught his attention.

"Now," Taeyong whispered, gesturing to the closet using his elbow.

Jeno snapped himself out of it, pulling his hand upwards and into Nana's grip, then dragging him to the closet as they silently went inside. He closed the door slowly, darkness filling the room besides the light coming from the small slits.
