Three

Tulips

After a much needed lunch to refuel the two girls' energy for the day, they went to a place that seems to have a room full of mirrors as a maze.

 

Mina told Dahyun about this place that she discovered before heading out, she told her that she really wanted to try the mirror maze because it seems hard but fun. Dahyun happily approved of the idea.

 

They are now at the front of the mirror maze entrance, and they were a little shocked with the fact that there weren't that much people around again. It almost seemed like they were the only ones there.

 

"Are you ready?" Mina asked the smaller girl who was looking inside the place with amazement and a hint of excitement.

 

Dahyun nodded her head cutely, which made Mina smile. Mina started to walk forward but she felt a tug on the side of her gray coat. 

 

"What if I get lost" Dahyun said in a worried tone, making Mina smile again.

 

"Then just follow me, we'll go through this maze together" Mina said. Dahyun nodded again in response, feeling slightly nervous now. 

 

The two girls finally entered the place and was welcomed by a room full of mirrors that has golden frames and corner decorations. The floor has a yellowish with a hint of gold color as well, making the place look brighter than it already is.

 

Dahyun walked forward, followed by Mina, and the two girls were welcomed with more mirrors. There were like clones of them everywhere.

 

"Close your eyes" Dahyun suddenly said, Mina did so without any hesitation.

 

Footsteps were heard and silence followed afterwards. "You can open your eyes now" Dahyun said again.

 

Mina looked around like a lost child, surprised by the sight of countless Dahyuns everywhere. She didn't know what to do at first, but Dahyun finally spoke again.

 

"Guess which one is the real Dahyun" she said, Mina let out a soft laugh.

 

Mina didn't move from her spot and tried to examine each and every one of the Dahyuns that's in front of her. She tried her best to guess which one was the real Dahyun, but it was harder than she thought. A lucky guess, she thought, might do the trick.

 

She walked on the right side of the room and poked one of the Dahyun's shoulder—and her guess was right. Dahyun stomped her feet cutely since Mina found her so quickly. "No fair! That was too fast!" she retorted, Mina let out a giggle while shrugging her shoulders.

 

"I guess I'm that good" she said before walking on what seems to be an open entrance that didn't have any mirror, leaving the disappointed tofu behind. 

 

"Hey, wait for me!" Dahyun said, running after the taller girl, afraid to get lost on the maze.

 

Mina looked around again to find the right way, while Dahyun did the same.

 

Dahyun tried to make the atmosphere less awkward for them, she joked around by purposely bumping herself on some of the mirrors—and it worked. Mina couldn't stop laughing from Dahyun's dorkiness and amazing acting as if she was really confused.

 

To Dahyun's surprise, Mina grabbed her small hand before pulling her to walk together. Dahyun looked at their hands, her face slowly turning pink. She cursed the place for having such bright environment that failed to hide her flustered face. "Stop, you might break the mirrors and hurt yourself" Mina said, Dahyun couldn't help but blush even more.

 

Mina led the way with her hand on Dahyun's, while Dahyun just followed along quietly.

 

They finally arrived at the center of the maze, it was a rounded area with like three mirror-less paths, and Mina had trouble choosing which way to go.

 

"My gut says that it's this way" Dahyun let go of the hand that was holding hers and walked towards the middle area, but Mina was eyeing a different path—not noticing where Dahyun went to. "This way!" Dahyun shouted as she walked through one of the hallway.

 

Mina looked beside her and noticed Dahyun's absence. She looked around, but she couldn't spot Dahyun on the small crowd of people. "Dahyun?" she said with a slightly loud tone, but Dahyun wasn't able to hear it from the crowd's noise.

 

Mina walked towards the other path, the one that Dahyun didn't went through. On the other hand, Dahyun was caught up on the dead end of the path that she took. "My gut was wrong, sorry about th–" her words were cut when she turned around because Mina was nowhere to be found. She didn't notice that Mina's reflection was not on the mirrors since there were a few people walking with her as well, and her focus was on the floor. Dahyun discovered this technique where she walks while staring at the floor, and if there's no reflection of her feet in front of her, she automatically knows that there's no mirror ahead of her. She was so focused on her technique, she didn't notice that she left Mina behind. "Mina!?" Dahyun shouted.

 

Looking back to the other girl who went through the wrong path; Mina finally heard Dahyun's voice. She was stuck on a dead end as well. She turned around and tried to find the direction where the voice came from. "Dahyun?" she shouted back, louder than what she did earlier. 

 

"Mina-chan!!" Dahyun shouted again "Where are you?!" Mina felt second hand embarrassment due to Dahyun's loud voice, but she shrugged it off since no one could really understand their language.

 

Mina walked back to the direction on where she came from "Go back, let's meet at the middle again" she shouted. Dahyun followed along quietly, walking back to her past tracks.

 

They bumped into some people's shoulders since the place is getting a little crowded than it was earlier, but they eventually found their way back to the center. They didn't see each other first, but Dahyun spotted the tall black-haired girl with a gray coat. She quickly walked towards Mina and tugged the left sleeve of Mina's coat. 

 

With the sudden contact, Mina looked beside her and saw Dahyun with her face like a sad puppy. "Mina-chan" Dahyun said cutely, Mina felt a pinch on her chest.

 

Mina held Dahyun's hand again. "Let's not lose each other again, okay?" she said, and Dahyun just nodded quietly. Mina finally followed the path that she was staring at earlier, it seemed like it was the right path since both of them met the dead end of the other paths. And she was right.

 

But right before the exit, there were two more paths, one on the left and one on the right with one mirror on the middle as the divider. The two was frozen in place, thinking of which way to go again. "Left?" Dahyun suggested, earning a slight squeeze on her small hand.

 

"My bet is on the right." Mina suddenly said, Dahyun looked at her. "If you're wrong, you better treat me coffee." she added with a smirk. Dahyun couldn't help but roll her eyes on the remark. 

 

"And what will I get if I'm right?" Dahyun asked back.

 

Mina pointed on her chin with her index finger, acting as if she was thinking deeply with what she has to offer. "Anything you want." she finally said.

 

Dahyun sighed playfully. "Fine." Mina's eyes lit up in anticipation. "Let's go to the right first" she suggested, and the two finally walked on Mina's chosen direction, hand in hand.

 

And there they are, at the exit of the maze. Mina let go of Dahyun's hand—which made Dahyun slightly sad—before jumping up a little while happily clapping her hands. "I win!" she said excitedly, Dahyun rolled her eyes again.

 

"Fine, let's get you some coffee" Dahyun said in defeat.
