Mirror

Description

There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.
Spoiled rich girl Tiffany Hwang falls in love and has a relationship with Kim Taeyeon who is a poor and hardworking person who is most adult like for her age and was raised to value things in life. After about a year into their secret relationship, Taeyeon starts finding Tiffany's behaviour quite immature and spoiled and warns her to change, she never did and to top that Tiffany's parents find out about their relationship and forbid Tiffany to leave the house...let alone contact Taeyeon.Taeyeon though also left Tiffany and broke up with her in the hopes that she would change her attitude. Now...all she does is think about her, and when she sees herself in the mirror...she sees her, and all the bits and pieces that are left.She wants to run away with her...and she will...
She's the one piece of herself she wishes she didn't need and she's ready to face anything and anyone to be with her.

Foreword

My reflection is you, all my hopes and dreams, all my likes and hates, everything, I gave everything to you.
And you are the one thing in my life I wish I didn't need right now, I wish it didn't hurt so much, I wish you could be here but you are not.
I don't know what to do, I miss you, and all my skin and bones shiver at just the thought of you being able come in through that door.
I always knew we were too different but I never expected you to leave like this, sure, I'm the spoiled little girl and sure you are the struggling in life adult.
I knew you had patience with me, I guess I just didn't put any boundaries on my attitudes, I felt like...everything was okay with you but it wasn't.
Not measuring my actions I caused this. Now, all I see in the mirror is you.
Even though it's my reflection on that mirror, all I see is you, all the bits and pieces you left inside of me.
All the morals and all the dreams.
I somehow hoped I could erase it all but I guess somehow it makes me a better person.
Less spoiled? Maybe you could've loved me like I am now...
I wish I could go back to the moment where you said you were tired, where you said that you were sure that nothing would change and left through that door.
I hoped I could stop you from saying it, I should've kissed you deeply and hugged you, I should've hold you in my arms and tell you I love you, but I was so dumbfounded I just stared at you.
It was so stupid of me, I was spoiled, an idiot, immaturely thinking that I could live without you was the single biggest mistake of my entire life.
And now I have to be reminded of it everyday, cause...when I look at that mirror.
All I see is you.
My reflection is you. And everytime I see myself...I see you.
I've secretly tried to talk to the reflection of you in my mirror.
I've trired saying all things I couldn't say to you, all the things I wish I had said to you, tell you all I would've, could've and should've done to keep you here by my side.
To keep you from walking out that door the way you did.
Today is just another gray day in my life another day where I'll not get out of the house, another day where I won't do anything at all, I spend my days in my library reading all the romances and novels I can find in the hopes that one of them contains the answer to this ordeal.
But as usually, I'll probably find none, I'm too afraid to look for you and too afraid to not think of you.
But, if I knew where you were right this instant I would come flying, I would go to meet you at the speed of life.
I crave you Kim Taeyeon and my days aren't the same without you and I know I look silly and idiotic but everyday you're not here I feel like dying.
I no longer care for anyone elses opinion, so what if I'm rich and you're poor, so what if my family doesn't approve...
I don't care anymore, I need you, I need to hug you strongly and never let you go, to kiss your lips passionately and tell you I love you to the moon and back to tell you I would sail the 7 seas and go through 1000 mountains to keep you with me.
And if I have to go anywhere with you just so I can stay with you...I will go.
I grabbed my phone by then, I dialed the old number I had.

"Hello" It was you...your beautiful voice picked up.

"I love you, I can't live without you...I need you, my heart still craves for you and I don't care what I have to do but...I need to have you" I said, without hesitating.
 
You went silent.
I thought you might've hanged up, I looked at the phone, the call was still going.

"Tiffany...where are you now?" You asked slowly.

"At home..." I answered.

"I'm coming there" You said straightforwardly.

"You can't, they won't open the gate for you" I said but you already had hung up.

I put on my shoes and came running out of my room and downstairs, I got outside and ran as fast as I could to the gate, I couldn't let you get inside the property, who knows what my parents could do if they knew you were here.
I got there in time, you stopped the car and got out, you looked at me for a while, I just stood there looking at you.
You walked up to me and huggin my wait you lifted me off the ground, when you put me down you kissed my lips, I kissed you back.
A single tear left my eye, if you knew for how long I had waited for this, if you knew how much I had imagined it.
You opened the car door for me and I got inside, you got in and drove us away from that awful house...in the direction of the airport.

Next morning...we were in Rome in a hotel with a view of the coliseum. 
You greeted me with a breakfast in bed and I greeted you with a kiss.
I got up and walked to the bathroom.
Tiffany looked up to the mirror by then and saw herself.
Suddenly Taeyeon came up behind her and hugged her, they just looked at their reflection for a while.

"I used to see you..."

"You still do"

"My reflection is you"
