"Why the glum face? Lighten up a little, Jeong!" Minji encouraged, softly elbowing her in the ribs while she danced to the intoxicating music.

"I shouldn't be so sad." Jeong reminded herself, swaying to the rhythm of the music.

She tried to get into the flow of the song but she just couldn't. Thoughts lingered in her mind.

"The party's fun isn't it?" Someone next to her asked.

Jeong turned around only to realize she didn't recognize them.

"Yeah." She agreed solemnly.

"So why do you act like it isn't?" They questioned.

"W-what?" Jeong stumbled over her words.

"Why do you act like your life is horrible when thousands of other people are experiencing the same things as you?" They snapped.

Jeong blinked once, twice, her breath caught in her throat. Finally, she realized who she was talking to.

The mirror.

What do you call it when life doesn't suck but you're still depressed?
When life is decent enough but you still don't want to be here anymore?

Join 18 year old Jeong Hyun on her adventures through life. Her life may not be entirely horrible but for some reason she can't stand it anymore. Maybe we all should see her side of the story.
