a loud blast of numerous deafening beats went off inside the small room of highschool students jeon jungkook and park jimin at 3:00 in the morning.
"aish, jungkook. i swear to god, if you dont turn off the goddamn alarm i will skin you alive..." jimin grumbled half-awake before grabbing one of his pillows and throwing it across the room, where jungkook is.
jungkook responded with a groan and blindly reached for the pillow and tried throwing it back but ended up falling off of his bed with a loud thud.
"agh..." he said as he held his head in between his hands. he then kept still, lying on the carpeted floor, before he reached for his phone.
he opened it and squinted his eyes to get a better look at his blinding screen.
boldfaced and capitalized letters of IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY, GO GET A LIFE were flashing in neon colors on his phone screen, and it took him a matter of seconds before he realized what it means.
'it's my birthday today', he realized and slowly, a smile creeped into his face.
he quickly got up and looked at the digital clock on the bedside table. 1:07. he still has time. two hours and two minutes to be exact.
he doesnt know when and where but a thing called reflection suddenly started spreading in their campus like wildfire two years ago.
no, this reflection thing isnt the song that mulan sang in the movie, but it's more of like a belief about soulmate stuff.
it says that on the same morning you turn eighteen, at exactly 3:09 am, the person should look into the bathroom mirror, wait for the lights to go out. when the lights go back on, the face that will appear a second after is the face of that person's soulmate.
many believed and made a buzz about this, but most just let it go in their heads and out of their ears, totally not believing such a childish thing.
jungkook was just sixteen when he heard about it, and since then, he cant contain his excitement and even made a countdown to his eighteenth birthday. he made sure to mark september 21 on his calendar and have it with alarm with full volume, hence why the alarm went off earlier.
today is jeon jungkook's eighteenth birthday.
he grabbed himself some underwear and dragged himself to the bathroom and tried his best to take a shower as quiet as he can. of course, he wasnt able to be as quiet as he wants to be because he would occasionally sing here and there, and his roommate jimin cant take it anymore and grabbed a pillow and went out of their room, heading to one of their friends' rooms to sleep over.
at 1:30, jungkook stepped out of the shower with a grin on his face. he wiped himself dry and looked at the mirror. he cant help but grin wider.
'just two more hours, and im going to see who im meant to be with', he thought and happily went out of the bathroom. he saw the messy bed of jimin and laughed when he noticed his absence.
'guess im not as quiet as i thought'.
he killed time by making himself busy and grabbing a coffee from the vending machine downstairs.
as he downed his third cup of coffee, he felt his head hurt and leaned down on the table until he slowly fell into sleep..

"but hyung!"
jimin pouted and held his pillow against his shirt-clad chest, his hair sticking out everywhere.
kim seokjin or simply, jin, the guy occupying the room where jimin slept over, stood by the door with a stern expression, his arms crossed over his chest.
"i would let you sleep here because ken's not here but your snores are getting worse and i cant get my beauty sleep." he said and made a move to close the door but jimin stopped him.
"please hyung! jebalyooooo~"
jin raised a brow at him and shook his head. "aegyo doesnt work on me. go back to your room and sleep." and with that, he closed the door at the younger's face, making him flinch.
jimin groaned and trudged back to his own room.
'i just hope jungkook would let me get some sleep...'
he then stopped and groaned. "who am i kidding, that boy would screech all morning because of his 'soulmate'." he said to himself.
he opened the door and slammed it close before diving into his messy and cold bed. and because of the noise, jungkook woke up.
he looked around, yawning as he did so and stretched his arms out. realizing that he had fallen asleep, he scrambled to get his phone and his eyes widened at the digits before his eyes.
3:05.
he stood up and was about to run when he got his foot trapped behind one of the feet of the desk and ended up falling flat on his face. he groaned and screamed bloody murder, making jimin throw a pillow at him again.
"let me fucking sleep, jeon jungkook!"
he ignored jimin and pushed himself up and limped towards the bathroom.
he fished out his phone and looked at the time.
3:06.
he took a deep breath and rested against the wall.
he placed a hand over his chest and felt his heartbeat quickening, as if he's about to perform in front of millions of people. he doesnt know why he's nervous but he is, and his worries started popping out of his mind.
'what if reflection isnt true?'
'what if it's just a silly and childish thing that someone made up, just for fun?'
3:07.
'what if no one appears from the other side of the mirror?'
3:08.
'what if no one was meant for me?'
3:09.
the lights started flickering, until it completely went out. jungkook looked around in the pitch black darkness, his head turning from side to side. a few minutes after, the lights started flickering, and even though the scene perfectly looks like a scene out of a horro movie, jungkook kept his composure and swallowed nervously, staring at the mirror in front of him.
even with the flickering lights, he can see his reflection clearly. dark brown hair, doe eyes, slightly pink lips, and fair skin.
even if his eyes started to hurt because of the lights, he kept his gaze peeled on the mirror, fidgeting nervously.
then suddenly, the lights stayed open for a whole three seconds. and for jungkook, it was one of the most beautiful seconds of his life.
a guy slightly smaller than him with ebony black hair, skin as white as snow, and lips as red as blood, with a small cute nose and a slightly slouched posture, a white loose shirt hanging loose around his bony shoulders.
that moment didnt even take 1/8 of his life but jungkook already know that it was the most beautiful sight he had ever seen, and will want to see until the last second of his life.
"i will find you, whoever you are.
and if i do
i promise i will make every second of your life beautiful,
even though i would only be a part of your life in just three seconds."
