"if i die it's with you"

"get over it jae."
"i'm trying." he responded but not how she meant it. he was actually trying to mentally let her go and regain himself.
"do you want to leave me for a mere guitar? think wisely."
"you need to understand i can't just give up what i've been doing my whole life."
"tch, what's gotten into you? you were completely fine dropping it and now you're whining to me? cut the bs and let's keep walking. i'll forgive you for even bringing it up."
"i can't just drop it."
"even for me? why not?"
"because it doesn't work that way for God sake!!" it was the first time in a long time he had yelled at anyone. it felt so good, he didn't want to apologize either.
"do you want me out of your life?" she asked as a threat expecting jae to cower as usual and beg for forgiveness.
"you know what... yes." jae said with full confidence.
he was finally making a choice and this time his pick was eaj.
it had to be eaj.
"you can leave and never walk back into my life. i can't do this anymore."
"you're gonna regret this," she spitefully said.
"i won't."
she got into a taxi that stopped and left jae standing there.
choosing eaj was so worth it, all jae wanted was for him to show up. he needed to fix or replace his room mirror asap.

jae looked at the window of the building behind him. the person looking back at him was eaj. he didn't even call for him but he was right there.
jae smiled.
so did eaj.
oh wait a minute.
eaj was dressed exactly like him. that never happened.
his movements and the mirror figure were aligning and in sync with each other.
he pushed his glasses to his face, eaj did as well.
he stretched a hand out, same thing.
he did a body wave, same thing.
he lips broke into a genuine smile, then a laugh of bliss satisfaction.

this time, eaj was his reflection.
