Waking up to the sound of someone banging on your door early at 5 am was something you definitely didn't expect. Or was it something very ideal.
Getting up from your bed, you make your way up to the door looking through the keyhole; a man with plump lips and pink hair stood outside with a tray. He wore a uniform, informing you that he worked here.

You open the door for him, moving back to make some space so it's easier to talk.
"Yes?"
"Good morning miss. This is a wake up call plus a reminder that you have to leave today. Please pack your belongings and make your way down in 40 mins, thank you. Your checkout will be done as soon as you come over to the reception. " He gave you an eye smile as he walked into your room and placed the tray of food on the desk, which you presumed was your breakfast, and then turned around with a bow and walked off.
But... Something was definitely off.. Either him or..
.
After you had your suitcases ready with you and Rechecking the room to make sure you didn't leave anything behind you, you take hold of the card key of the room and pull it out from its slot.
You walk out of the room, the door closing behind you.
Tilting your head towards it, you still can't figure out why they had to give you the room with the number 169 on it.
"Sigh.."
.
You hand your key over to the lady receptionist who stood there doing the necessary requirements for your checkout.
"I hope you had a pleasant stay here miss" She looks up at you and smiles.
"Yes I did, thank you" You say as your phone screen lights up with a reminder for you to leave in the next 10 minutes to move into the mysterious apartment.
After a few minutes she looks up at you and says, "It's done miss. Have a safe trip! If you wish we can book a car from our hotel to take you to your destination" She suggests.
"Ah no, that won't be necessary. Thank you for the suggestion though" You say as you head out with your luggage and towards the exit of the hotel.
The same guy from earlier walks past you and towards a room hidden by the darkness in the far end of a hallway.
.
In a few minutes, you were all set in the car, which was currently driving you to the so-called "haunted" apartment complex.
You walked out of the car and paid the driver as he took out your suitcases from the back.
After a while you were next to the lady whom you had met yesterday. She looks at you with wide eyes and says, "oh well, I didn't expect you to be here. Especially after hearing the only room available is haunted. But I don't really mind, as long as you pay the rent on time" She looks up at you as she adjusts her glasses on her nose.
"Urm, well yeah.. " You trail off.
"Fill out this form and sign at the bottom of these papers. After you're done I can lead you to your room" she says as you see a small amount of papers with a pen being slided over the table towards you.
.
You collect the papers in a neat stack after the completion of all the necessary details you had to provide and pass it over to her.
She scans through them and looks at you, "follow me.. Lee Aera. "
(A/N : do you guys notice this is the first time y'all came to know your character's name?)
.
After settling down your belongings in the room and deciding to clean up a bit, you start removing all the sheets and the other small belongings of the earlier owner of this apartment.
As you were nearing the end of your cleaning process, you noticed the mirror from the day before still there.
Walking up to it, you try to take it off the wall, but to no avail.
Deciding to give up on it, you get ready to leave this place for a while and head out to buy furniture and the other necessary things to fill up your room and make it more cozy.
"It's just a mirror... Let it be"
But that was a mistake whose outcome you wished you'd seen coming before.
.
Returning with a few light bulbs, fairy lights, small plants, air freshener, women essentials, soap, chair, refreshments and stationary items, you drop the huge cartons of your shopping haul down in a tired manner and stretch out.
6:20 pm, read the digital clock on your smartwatch.
'I've been out for more than six hours?!' You shout in your head, trying to think about how you took so long shopping for just a few things.
Deciding to not be the procrastinator you are for now and being more productive, you set up the things in this small apartment of yours and take a quick shower.
11:59 pm.
You make your way over to your room but are greeted by yet another surprise.
"Holy s{13+ word}hit-"
