Mirror, Mirror on the wall, who is the silliest one of all?

“What do I do?” I put my head on the table and pulled on my brown hair. Yes, it was dark brown right now, any problem with that?!

“I hate to say this but it´s purely your own fault,” Kyuhyun chuckled and I knew he had that ugly smirk plastered on his even uglier face, “nope, I actually love to say that,” he added mockingly. See?

“er,” I mumbled rudely against the wooden table still not ready to raise my head.

“Hyung, if you hate it so much, why are you doing it?” He asked me and I finally looked at him.

“I just can´t help it, those puppy brown eyes are begging me,” I told him and took a hold of my beer. We were actually sitting over sangyopsal and I was crying my heart out.

“But he´s fifty years old already, shouldn´t he be able to help himself?” My dongsaeng sipped from his glass of red wine.

“It´s because he´s that old he can´t so I have to guide his hand, you see,” I crumbled back on the wooden surface. “And the worst is, he´s enjoying himself all the while!”

“As if he wouldn’t when you are making his life a ing paradise, you are doing whatever he asks you to,” Kyuhyun scolded me and I was about to protest when another voice finally joined the conversation.

“Excuse me but what the hell are you two talking about?!” Sungmin was shocked beyond belief. Why, tho?

“About Hyukjae´s new housemate,” Kyuhyun said as if nothing probably not getting Sungmin´s shocked expression at all. “Uh, I forgot it was a secret, sorry, hyung.”

“No problem, I don´t care anymore,” I told him. And if I made someone as conservative as Kyuhyun to believe my story about the man from the mirror, Sungmin shouldn’t be a problem. But it seems as if he had gotten some strange idea instead.

“I think you are too kind to him that he gets the wrong impression. He probably thinks he can stay in your house forever,” the tall man reasoned.

“I figured as much but as I said, I don´t have the heart to throw him away when he has absolutely no one around him accept for me,” I pouted and glanced at Sungmin. “What do you think?”

“That you should find yourself a girlfriend,” Sungmin said sternly and I still wasn´t sure what was wrong with him.

“That´s it! You are a genius Sungmin hyung!” Kyuhyun suddenly exclaimed and I threw him a confused look. The latter began explaining: “If you find yourself a girl, he would eventually begin feeling out of place and move away by himself, don´t you think?”

“Sounds reasonable but once I brought a girl home and kinda forgot about him,” I blushed and looked down at my beer instead of my friends, “and we went on it on the hallway already but Donghae suddenly came to us and asked whether he should leave.”

“You are joking!” Kyuhyun´s eyes widened.

“Unfortunately no, that was the most embarrassing -blocking event that has ever happened to me,” I gulped down the rest of my beer angrily. Kyuhyun of course burst out laughing and even Sungmin couldn´t help himself anymore.

“Well, now I can feel you that the matter is pretty serious,” Kyuhyun tried to sound sympathetic but his never ending laughing fit ruined his efforts completely. “Anyway,” he cleared his throat, “you should try it. But maybe a little less aggressively?” He added and burst out laughing again.

“Maybe,” I started thinking about his idea. I´ve been playing around long enough, isn´t it the time to find myself a proper girlfriend? So she could live with me and prepare breakfast and dinner for me or kiss me good morning. Yep, that would be sweet.

“Why are you blushing? Already imagining your girlfriend?” The youngster teased. I really hate that he´s my best friend.

“You know me too well,” I only mumbled too embarrassed to get caught.

I was already getting up and picking my stuff. It was late and I couldn´t help but feel excited on how I would look for a girlfriend first thing in the morning. Don´t look at me weirdly like that! It´s not that hard to look for a girlfriend, I have at least ten numbers of girs in my cell-phone that would be willing to become my lover the moment they pick up my call.

“Hyukjae?” Sungmin stopped me when I was about to go and pay. “I know it´s a little hard on you nowadays but there´s no need for you to lower yourself to things like these.”

“What things?” I asked him confused and even Kyuhyun´s attention was on the little man.

“Well, sleeping with old grandpas.” What?! And Kyuhyun was lying on the floor unable to stop laughing. Poor thing.

 

As promised, the next morning I called on the numbers I had stored in my phone in file that read: Careful, ready for long relationship. I was more into one night stands nowadays or better for friends with benefits so this file was purely for emergency use. I couldn´t believe myself that I was about to do this. Don´t get me wrong, I didn´t plan to use the girls. I was serious about starting something serious, I was at the age and it was before Christmas too. I didn´t want to end up feeling lonely on that day.

“Hey, Eunji,” I greeted the girl that out of three call outs was still single and wanted to meet up.

“Oppa, you are as handsome as ever!” The beautiful woman exclaimed the moment she saw me.

“Nothing compared to your beauty of course,” I swiftly replied and pulled the chair for her to sit on. We decided to have a breakfast together in an old coffee place near my house. The place was nice and had this traditional feel that was perfect for Sunday mornings as this one.

“Such a sweet talker,” she giggled but the pink blush on her white cheeks showed the appreciation of the compliment. Well, I got a talent, duh. I pulled her chair for her and then sat opposite of her. She looked gorgeous sitting elegantly in her white dress and I couldn´t dream of a more beautiful girlfriend.

“So how is it going with,” I thought for a little, inwardly looking for a folder in my memory with Eunji´s name. Found it! “Your musical?” She smiled when she saw that I remembered her job.

“It´s going well, this time I´m going to perform in ´Full House´. Do you want to come?” She quickly used the chance and I couldn´t help but smile at how well was my plan going. I made sure the smile would be wide and cute enough to make her happy too even before I answer.

“Can I come too? I saw a placard outside and wanted to go,” someone else’s voice isuddenly nterrupted our warm conversation.

“Donghae? What are you doing here?” I asked shocked seeing the brunette holding a cup of coffee in his hand.

“You refused to make the breakfast this morning so I came to my favourite café. Fancy meeting you here!” He said excitedly and sat next to me without any invitation.

“I refused because I´m on a date,” I smiled at Eunji over the table and she returned my smile awkwardly. I hoped Donghae would understand the situation and leave.

“You are on a date all the time,” he rolled his eyes and I couldn´t believe my ears. What is he saying in front of Eunji? “And it´s not even the same girl as the last time,” he mumbled but of course the girl was able to pick it up.

“Oppa?! I´m disappointed,” she huffed and stood up angrily. I wanted to go after her but Donghae was blocking my way by sitting next to me. I called for her but she didn´t even spare me a glance before slamming the door of the café behind her. I turned to Donghae angrily.

“You did that on purpose!” I accused him although it was more probable that it was his own stupidity and lack of sense that caused this. That´s why I was surprised by his next sentence.

“And what if I did?”
