{ Mirror }
♧Yep♧
People from parallel universes come and go in our house. It's hard to believe, but they really do. Through our full-length mirror.
"Wow!!!!"
"Ah ...
((Clang-!
"Hehehe... You've surprised me 5 times already!!"
"I'm proud! I dropped the cup because of you, hyung,"
Well...it's a shame that I'm always on the receiving end of things like this, but he's still my older brother, who shares my lonely life living alone. That's why I feel even more affection for him, and I want to take care of him even more. However, that's all it took.
"When are you going to clean this up again... I have to go out."
"Where are you going? Is there anyone you want to meet?"
"Who are you going to meet?"
"Who is it? It's my girlfriend."
"Were you dating a woman without telling me?!"
"Then I should live alone? There are so many pretty women in this world?!"
"What, what about men, not women?"
"I have the looks to go anywhere and be defeated."
"Fuck, I'm going to go. Until I get back, don't come over to my house. Stay at my brother's house. If you do something wrong, you'll hurt your foot."
"Okay?"
"Oh my, I wasn't planning on going either."
My brother returned to the mirror and stood there for a while. "Does he like me?", "I don't know about this world, but where you live, maybe it's not strange for two men to date?", "But... I don't have feelings for you.", etc.... Others might say I was drinking a little too much kimchi stew, and so on. I was thinking these thoughts.

I'm a person from what people often call a parallel world. This place is superior to the real world in every way. Because this is simply a virtual reality created by someone. It's a place where anything I can imagine can come true.
Then one day, while I was lying down at home resting as usual, I heard someone's voice.
"Who threw away this perfectly good mirror?"
"It looks like a new mirror... and above all, it will go really well with the house I'm moving into...?"
At first, I thought it was someone talking to themselves outside, but somehow, that voice kept coming back to me. Sometimes he was humming, sometimes he was crying, and sometimes he was venting his anger on a doll. I could hear the sound of almost everything he did. Occasionally, I even heard a woman's voice, so out of sheer curiosity, I looked in the mirror and made eye contact with someone on the other side.
He looked like a college student, and he was changing clothes in front of the mirror. When his eyes met mine, his ears turned red and he made a strange noise.
"#@~%/÷@#~%##~!"
I wondered if it was really that surprising, so I put my hand into the mirror just in case, and it felt like it was being pushed in. Step by step, I entered the mirror, and before I knew it, I was in the room where the child was. The child, who had just finished changing clothes, looked at me with a blank expression and motioned for me to explain the situation.
"Ugh... When did you change your clothes...? I think it looks better naked... Anyway, hello? I'm... Kim Dong-hyun who came over from the mirror. You're Park Woo-jin, right? I know because I hear about you sometimes."
"..........."
"Uh...what kind of...ass are you...?"
It was really cute how he made a dumbfounded expression for a moment and then started to stutter as he spoke.
"Huh...huh? A kid...speak more like a gentleman."
"It was gentlemanly enough...?"
"huh?"
"Um...is that a gentlemanly expression in this world?"
"Okay, well, I'll try to understand."
Our first meeting was absurd. It was awkward, flawed, and ridiculous. I roughly explained to Woojin what I expected, but he seemed incredulous and said he was going to report it to the police. Regardless, I'd just have to return to my world through the mirror anyway.
"Are you expecting me to believe that?"
"Well...then should I tell you about the things you do at home without anyone knowing?"
"I had a hard time because of you. I didn't want to hear it, but I heard it."
"Ah... no, I'll just believe it... somehow it feels a bit ominous."
"Grab! Good idea!!"
Honestly, I know him better than anyone else. This kid may seem sharp on the outside, but he's actually quite delicate. He's tearful, needs support, and struggles to handle things on his own. This is what I've observed about him over the years.

I met my girlfriend and came back home. It was faster than usual.
I feel like I've returned home. Perhaps it's only natural. I was the one who broke up with her today. I couldn't understand why she was breaking up with me. I asked her why. And here's her answer:
"Do you... honestly like me?"
“Every time we met, I was the only one who seemed excited, but you were always expressionless.”
"And when I talk about that guy I live with, he suddenly brightens up."
"I just thought I was keeping you. I think you like that guy too."
It was enough to confuse me. It was ridiculous to think I liked him. He was just my brother, and I just wanted to take better care of him. I ran home. And as I ran, a certainty grew in my heart. I liked Kim Dong-hyun. With that thought in mind, I ran nonstop all the way home. But all I found was the cup I'd dropped and left untouched, and the quiet silence.
I couldn't even think about putting the cup away, and I called out to him incessantly in front of the mirror. But he wasn't visible to me. And I couldn't even cross over to that world. I never imagined I'd feel so pathetic. I felt so pathetic, unable to do anything for the person I loved. I couldn't even look into the mirror to see him, and this morning I hurt him. I must have mustered up the courage to say those words.
I sat there with my back to the mirror, waiting for a while. Soon, I felt a presence behind me. And I knew, even without looking, that it was Dong-hyun. And I mentioned that too.
"brother."
"Am I also the person in the mirror to you, hyung?"
"Yeah, right."
"Then why can't I go to where my brother is?"
"that..."
"Because your side is real."
Hello! This is Yep-oh😊
This is my first time writing BL, so I don't know what you think!
And let me explain a little bit
We are each other's mirror images
As Dong-Hyeon said, Dong-Hyeon's world is a virtual reality.
So, Woojin, who actually exists
You can't go to Donghyun's world, that is, virtual reality.
Donghyun also knows that he is fake.
But I try to fool myself into thinking this is a parallel world.
In the end, I ended up admitting it haha
The two of them are in an impossible love...ㅜ
I'm so pissed off ㅠㅠ
It's so good☺
First of all, this is a very immature piece of writing.
Thank you so much to everyone who read!
Have a happy weekend~~😸
