Mirrors Paralell //Jikook

"And why should I?"

I freeze. I slowly turn to look at the ground. The mirror. It just talked. I'm about to have a heart attack. This can't be real. The lightning strikes once again, making me jump out of my daze.

"A scardy cat, aren't you?" The voice laughs quietly. It's coming from the mirror, I'm sure of it. I slowly make my way towards the mirror. I pick it up and take a look at it. The lightning strikes again and I almost drop the mirror. I pay more attention to the sky more than the mirror to see if any strikes of thunder come again. The moment I turn back to the mirror, I see a face.

The shock makes me scream and I drop the mirror, falling myself.

"Hey! Don't break the mirror, scardy cat!" The voice says. I shakily stand up, wobbily walking back to the mirror and picking it up. I quickly place it on the table and take a step back. My heart is beating really fast, and my breathing hasn't calmed. 

"Why are you so scared of me?"

"W-Who are y-you?!" I breathe out. Now I'm sure my friends will think I'm crazy.

"Oh? Me?" The voice asks. Is it dumb or something?

"Yes, you! Y-you're the only one w-who's talking!" I shout at it. I'm sure that the voice is coming from the mirror. There isn't anyone here except for me. I'm shaking from the cold and it's not helping the situation at all.

"Oh? I'm Jungkook," The voice answers. I see a silhouette in the mirror. I'm shaking all over and I feel my legs go weak. I wobble backwards and hold tightly onto the side of the couch. My brain can't progress anything right now. I drop the mirror.

"Hey! You okay?!" The voice asks hurridly. It sounds worried, but I can't hear anything. Everything spins around me and I fall onto the ground. I hear a crack under me. My phone just broke.

"Hey! Can you hear me?!" The voice shouts over the thunder and rain, "You're making me worried!" All I can hear is ringing, but a few seconds later, everything turns back to normal. I straighten myself up and look at the mirror.

"So your name is J-Jungkook?" I ask. I'm not sure if I heard him correctly the first time. I basically just passed out.

"Yes. And you're Jimin, right?" The voice asks. How does it know my name?

"How do you know my name, and what e-even are you?" I ask. If I'm correct, then this voice is the one that has been haunting me for a few years. Is it a ghost? A lost spirit? A demon?

"I have been following you around for a few years now," I knew it. "But to be honest, I don't know who I am. All I know is my name and gender." He answers with a sigh. He sounds sad.

"Oh. Well I'm sorry about that, but why follow me?" I ask curiously. There are so many other people who are better than me, nicer than me, prettier than me. So why me?

"I don't really know why, but the moment I saw you, I just thought I had to protect you somehow," The voice asnwers. "I also think you are pretty. I always tried to protect you, that's why I followed you everywhere. I'm sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable before."

My brain can't progress anything, again, but I know I can hear sadness in his voice. He also sounds nicer than before, that's for sure.

I carefully pick up the mirror again. There is a figure standing behind it, inside the mirror. He looks sad.

"Thank you for protecting me, but you could've been nicer the moment you appeared!" I say while pouting. The figure giggles and turns to look at me, and I swear my heart skips a beat. He looks so cute, handsome and so tired.

"Are you okay?"

He looks at me confused, then smiles.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I haven't talked to anyone. I mean, I couldn't," The figure, Jungkook says, "So I'm happy to talk to you. Finally!" Jungkook says the last word angrily.

"Why do you sound a-angry?" I ask scared.

"You're the one who threw away all of the mirrors and avoided them the moment I started protecting you. You thought I would be happy about that?! I don't think so!" He shouts at me.

"I'm sorry, okay! You're the one that made me feel crazy. I almost lost my friends because of you!" I shout back.

"Me?! Every time you went near a mirror you freaked out. You know how hard I laughed when I saw people look at you weirdly. Serves you right! Maybe you are crazy!" He laughes out loud. I look at him with a blank face and angrily place the mirror back on the table. I thought he was nicer. I take my now cold cups of ramen and cocoa and quickly start walking to my room.

"Hey! Where are you going?!" I hear Jungkook shout.

"To bed!" I angrily shout back. 

"Why?! What did I do!?"

"You insulted me! I'm mad at you! I'm going to bed," I say angrily, "I'll talk to you tomorrow when I have calmed down, and when YOU apologize!"

"How did I insult you?!"

"And goodnight Jungkook!" I shout. I set my things on the bedside table and change my clothes. I get into bed, and before I fall into deep slumber, I hear,

"Goodnight then, scardy cat!"
