The night the stars disappeared

Fragments of Truth

The mirror shook quietly, as if it were alive.

The mirror in front of Soobin turned a dark gray, and his image opened its mouth.
"You're a leader, but sometimes you want to run away."

Soobin bit her lips.
That was true. I loved my team more than anyone, but there were times when the weight of responsibility was heavy. A heavy sense of responsibility, an anxiety I couldn't share with anyone.

The mirror cracked and whispered.
“When you admit the truth, you get closer to the key.”

In the Fed's mirror, he was smiling. But the smile was sad.
"You're strong, but you're lonely. Because you're my older brother. You have to look cool."

For the first time, Yeonjun nodded at himself in the mirror.
“…Yeah. I’m lonely.”
At that moment, a small piece of light appeared in the mirror.

Beomgyu, Taehyun, and Huening Kai were no exception. The mirror reflected their hidden hearts, and each time they embraced that emotion, the mirror shattered, releasing a shard of light, a small, glowing piece, into their hands.

As the boy gathered the pieces in his palm, they joined together to form the first key.
A whisper in the wind.

"You've got one. Now we need to go to the next location. To the clock tower."



The forest shook as the boy waved his hand.
Starlight fell from the sky, the ground beneath their feet rippled, and before they knew it, they were all standing in front of an old clock tower.

The clock hands stopped and the bell did not ring.

And inside the clock tower, someone was laughing.
"Welcome, Star Children. The second key can only be obtained by turning back 'time.'
