Objects In The Mirror Seem Closer Than They Appear

Description

Kai is a normal guy. He sees normal things, that is until he saw something in his bathroom mirror. The little smudge grew into a blur, which molded into a shadow, and with every passing day the thing in the mirror became more... human. The shadow was familiar, but Kai had worse things to think about. After the other accident, there was only one thing that Kai could remember the doctor saying, objects in the mirror, my dear, seem closer than they appear. 

Foreword

It was another late night at the bar for Kai. 

"Hey Chanyeol, hit me up with another drink will you?"

"Coming right up man."

The tan 22 year old gazed around the room. Warm bodies bumped against each other and strobe lights flashed across the scene making it hard to see anyone's face for too long. 

Kai got up from his stool, and joined the crowd. After a long week of work at the office, this was his relief. 

He nodded his head to the loud music and waited in anticipation as the music got closer to the .

The beat dropped and the sound increased ten-fold.

The lights and colors blurred together, nearly creating a new dimension.

He enjoyed the moment for a bit, at least until he couldn't hear any longer. Kai's eyes found Chanyeol at the bar, waving his drink at him. 

He grinned and made his way back to his friend, nearly falling over in the commotion. 

Kai grabbed for the drink, but Chanyeol dumped it out before his fingers could even reach it. 

"No more for you."

"Heyyyy."

"You should crash at my place tonight, you don't look so great right now."

"Nahh, it's okay," he said sliding of his seat. "I'll just go home."

Chanyeol watched worriedly as Kai left the club.

I hope he'll be okay.

...

The incident happened a year ago, but it still haunted him.

The burning flames and unbearable smoke. 

The screech of metal against metal, the windows bursting, the panicked shouts.

The hands pulling him from his burning car. 

The bodies being pulled out of the flipped car a few meters away.

It would never leave him alone.

 

The news paper articles following the event gave him the details of the people he had killed. 

One of them was a 19 year old boy by the name of Do, Kyungsoo. 

He was smart, graduating at the top of his class, and starting college at Harvard.

Freaking Harvard.

Of course this was all gone now, along with the kids' future. 

Not to mention his parents would never see their kid graduate college or marry the girl of his dreams. They would never see the grandchildren that would carry on their legacy.

The bitter thoughts lurked in his head.

He looked away from the year-old newspaper article, that added to the sting of what he had done.

He sat on the edge of his bed, and put his head in hands.

He was a murderer and nothing would change it.

No matter how many therapy sessions he had or the countless "it's not your faults" he received from his peers, he knew, he knew he had ended it all for that kid.

Chapter 12: I love this story !!! The way you wrote the story, its pace, the flow of events, the accidents and the introduction of angst and betrayal was perfect in my opinion!!! I had suspected baekhyun from the start but he turned out to be much more wow! I was stunned when I read the full details!! How did chanyeol know too much? How did he find out? What is kyungsoo ? Kai's imagination or supernatural ? I am reading in mobile so I did not see the highlighted words.... I really wanted to find out but I did not see anything :( can you give me some hints ......anyways I am so excited to read about the epilogue!! :D is baekhyun going to do something.....I have so many questions....
