‘Hello!’

‘You’re very happy today.’

‘I’m glad you pointed that out-‘

‘-please don’t dance-‘

(aggressive dancing ensues, we apologize for your eyes)

‘GUYS WE HIT 20K SUBSCRIBERS WE ARE SO HAPPY!’

(we are sorry for your ears)

‘In all seriousness wow guys- genuinely, this makes us so happy, we are so happy we are reaching more people with our content, and that by watching us, we make your day happy or even spooky sometimes and-‘

‘-it really means a lot guys, we only just started this because it was first an assignment and then a hobby and we just- it really means a lot to us.’

‘This also means we can actually pay Minseok-hyung with more than just our love and appreciation.’

‘But hyung likes that!’

(I don’t)

(short intermission)

‘Right! We’re back again to discuss the previous episode, the Dancing Spirits. I would say it was one of our more lighter episodes, don’t you think?’

‘Uh- no.’

‘…what do you mean-‘

‘-the mirrors! Dude, the mirrors.’

‘They’re just mirrors-‘

‘They’re just mirrors

Famous last words-‘

‘I am literally still here-‘

‘-I did some more research into mirrors so I am here to present my case-‘

‘-oh my god you actually have a legit folder-?’

(slamming sound on table)

‘Behold! My research!’

‘Wish you exuded this energy when you asked me to find you that transition effect, would’ve saved us all a lot of time.’

(cackling sounds)

‘HYUNG-!’

(short intermission)

‘Right, after that just and deserving call out, we are back!’

‘With Baek’s research folder on mirrors!’

‘Stop gloating like that I am still the favorite.’

‘No you’re not!’

(cheesy grin and finger guns)

‘Back to my research please I genuinely took out a lot of time doing this because I wanted to prove some theories-‘

‘-any evidence to back up your hypothesis Mr. Byun?’

‘-plenty, Mr. Kim-‘

‘-concrete evidence Byun-‘

‘-for me yes. I am concretely certain that this is perfect evidence-‘

‘-I don’t think concretely is a word-‘

(another short intermission)

‘According to what I’ve found, mirrors are commonly believed to be portals.

These portals can be endless, or lead elsewhere in worlds we don’t know exist.

It can also lead to places that are not, well-‘

‘Nice.’

‘Yes. Not nice. And sometimes mirrors, when reflected back to our dimension, becomes a two-way portal. Because just one mirror faces one way- meaning it’s one portal opening looking inwards.’

‘So mirrors reflecting each other are like having two doors into a room?’

‘Precisely! So as you all remember, the dance studio-‘

‘-covered head to toe- I mean, covered ceiling to floor, with mirrors-‘

‘Exactly!’

(proud and pleased grin on his face)

‘…

That’s your evidence?’

‘No!

It’s my explanation! My evidence is this part!

My research shows that at least, every significant culture across the world, has always viewed mirrors, and in the past, reflective surfaces such as water, or metal- they lead or guide you to different places and or open up pathways for other worldly beings to enter!’

‘Oooh, give me that history.’

‘…’

‘I like history!

Hyung! You do too right?’

‘Hyung is not here to save you- here is your history!

First of all, mirrors are popularly used in wiccan or witchcraft, as conduits or vessels for communication- especially with ghosts, demons, or spirits from another real.

Mirrors are of course, in modern western folklore, considered to be a form of bad luck if broken- we all know that-‘

‘-seven years of bad luck?’

‘Yes- seven. It’s also widely acknowledged and understood that looking into a mirror during the dark, or even at night, is considered bad luck, or revealing.’

‘Interesting- well, there is a lot of visual warping if you stare too long at your own reflection- looking at a mirror in the dark would definitely things up.’

‘So you’ve never used a mirror in the dark?’

‘Why would I use a mirror in the dark?! That’s so dumb?’

‘No-! As in, like pass mirrors in the dark?’

‘Sure? But it’s dark- I can’t see !’

‘I-…I guess yeah.

Besides I guess- in many ways one of the common themes, or at least common understanding behind these myths was really just a lot to do with your own internal reflection.’

‘What do you mean?’

‘Like how in the end- demons, ghosts, spirits- none of these are really truly frightening if you compare them to real living human beings you know? In the end, the thing that can and will hurt us the most, is well, other human beings- and so often, ourselves.’

‘…’

‘…’

‘…why are you both looking at me like that-‘

(short intermission)

‘I- so I’m, uh, ehehehehehehehe-‘

‘I will accept this hypothesis for today, Byun, because of your excellent presentation.’

(thumb’s up)

‘Comment section time!’

‘This one comes from ‘Please play Koya’s Sleep Music to my Funeral’ who says ‘I hate that thing about mirrors and the 4^th reflection bull, like I don’t believe in it but catch me DEAD trying to see my 4^th reflection’.

I think I resonate with this a lot-‘

‘-but don’t you believe in that myth?’

‘-not 100%! Because like you said, reflection tend to warp out a lot! And there is definitely credible research put into how you appear to your own eyes after you stare at yourself in mirrors for too long, it’s really cool actually! Can Minseok-hyung put links in the description?’

‘Sure.’

‘Another from YouTube subscriber ‘Why Are All The B-Sides Bops?’-‘

‘Indeed, why are all the b-sides all bops?’

‘For?’

‘Every album ever.’

‘Sure-‘

‘Which is why!’

(shuffling sounds, mic hits table, we apologize for your ears)

‘Guys, listen to every song in an album before saying you like it or not- I mean yeah title tracks can be hit or miss but b-sides really hit you hard you know-?’

‘Okay great thank you for that PSA, please sit down as I read their comment which goes ‘I had the misfortune of watching the bit about Sehun wanting Junmyeon as a sugar daddy while drinking water and I inhaled it wrong then I dropped my phone at the same time and stepped on it because my eyes were burning and I couldn’t see I have never lost so much in 3 seconds of my life.’

(breathless cackling and laughing ensues, again, we apologize for your ears)

‘Oh god- I’m-‘

‘B-side Bops, I’m so sorry this happened to you I swear, if you’re in the area or something and you see us, please let us know, we’ll buy you a meal!’

(There has been a lot of intermissions this episode, I humbly apologize, this was a pain to edit)

‘But yes- so! What do we have this coming episode Jongdae?’

‘Well Baekhyun, I can tell you it’s gonna be great. Doubly great. Because we’re gonna be going to an extremely obscure location which I initially found incredibly dubious because well, Baekhyun found it!’

‘I would be offended but I’ll admit I understand why you doubted it because I didn’t think the story would lead to anything either! But wow- we’re leaving tomorrow  afternoon, and as finals are over, we have a decent amount of time to explore a location that’s not within the city or the surrounding towns!’

‘Our first official off-city shoot! It’s gonna be great! We’re gonna be there for 3 days, 2 nights!’

‘So it’s going to be a two-part video, and I can promise you, you guys are really going to enjoy this episode!’

‘Thanks again for the 20K subscribers!’

‘LOVE YOU GUYS-!’

(sorry)
