Dark Side (Kim Taehyung & Kim So Hyun)
Episode 3 - Shadow or Illusion?
Preview :
Three mirrors of the four mirrors in the woman's toilet broke into small pieces. Inside the toilet was only Mi So.
But in the bathroom, there is a school suit with the name tag In Hyong. So Hyun was silent. He believes In Hyong must have been inside the toilet when this strange incident happened.
After staring long enough, he did not find In Hyong's figure in the toilet. Blood everywhere.
Taehyung who had not wanted to look inside, finally looked up at the condition of the toilet. Chaotic, shredded glass everywhere. So too with blood.
Taehyung looked at Mi So who was his classmate, then said, "Where is In Hyong?"
Mi So looked at Taehyung still with a trembling body, "I-I - In-Hy-Hyong..."

The sky outside looked grey black, like it was ready to rain down heavily. So Hyun lay low on his school's UKS bed with his eyes still swollen, and his nose flushed red.
The pain continued to spread throughout his body. Moreover, after installing a simple cast in his right hand. The grip of the powerful cast made his hand like it was in the hand too strong.
In the UKS, So Hyun was accompanied by Jimin, who apparently had no serious injuries. Eun Soo is also there, the girl also has no head injuries.
Among the three of them, So Hyun was the worst. The incident facing In Hyong had left her wrist not functioning normally.
Ah, no! More precisely, the end of his hastily bone had cracked and had hit his hinge joint.
"Just calm. Your cracks are not much. Your hinge joint is also not too badly damaged. Healing will be faster if you go to the hospital. But, if you don't want to. those casts are enough to help connect your bones." explained the female doctor very kindly. His voice sounded soothing and comforting.
"Ah, Doker Jung, does it take long?" Ask Jimin so concerned with the condition of his best friend.
So Hyun just kept quiet as he sobbed. He had been crying for a long time, rather he was now grimacing.
From then on, he just cried and grimaced without letting out tears. His nose was flushed, even he looked like a person with a severe flu. Probably, because of the strong cast installation.
"Yes, I can't guarantee when his hand will recover. The name is simple way, surely the results are not as fast as modern ways. Less than 2 weeks." Doctor Jung simply answered Jimin while glancing at So Hyun's cast hand.
Jimin could only nod his head. When Doctor Jung goes out of the UKS, Eun Soo beats slowly. The three of them did not speak. All that was heard was So Hyun's sobbing voice that had not stopped either. Apparently, the girl suffered.
"I don't know why In Hyong was like that all of a sudden." Eun Soo finally spoke up. The girl stared out the window, watching the raindrops falling down. "Where is he going now, huh?"
"Molla." said Jimin casually. The man looked at So Hyun who had not stopped grimacing.
"I was also frightened by In Hyong's new figure. My shoulder turned blue because he threw a ceramic pot, plus a glass of juice. Padahalkan, I just said he had the wrong technique of making ceramics" explained Jimin at length. He slightly fumbled his shoulder.
"I am too. I just asked to replace the broom that the jowl came off because of his actions. Suddenly he pulled the hair, and said that my hair was suitable to replace the last sage.." said Eun Soo quietly, but he fell silent when he heard the sound of people opening the doors of UKS.
Taehyung opened the doors of the UKS in a hasty motion. Without further ado, he also opened the curtains that surrounded So Hyun's place lying limp.
The man stared around with roaring breath. His hair was unmoved, his school coat was also just on his shoulder. He looks depressed at a glance. However, it doesn't seem to be. How can you get depressed that fast?
"Taehyung-ah, why do you look like that?" Jimin greets his best friend with a question of confusion.
Taehyung answered nothing. He was silent to regulate his breathing. His eyes glanced at a hand that had been clad in a light brown cast. And, proceed to the owner of that hand.
So Hyun looked at her without saying anything. Eun Soo and Jimin both attack Taehyung with astonished looks.
"So, I met Mi So who seemed to see all of those events. But, it seems like he was too scared" Taehyung said.
"Then?" With great difficulty, So Hyun began to open his mouth. He was too worried about In Hyong.
"He's secured a psychiatric hospital..." Taehyung replied with a slow muttering voice. He looks resigned.
Both Jimin and Eun Soo's eyes were wide-eyed. So Hyun could only let out a sad look.
"Soul?" Eun Soo said with a frown. His mouth was covered with his hands because he was so shocked.
"Maybe he saw it all, until it frightened him like that. When I asked what happened, he just muttered with a ringing and a trembling body. However, when I mentioned In Hyong's name in it. His soul is broken too. He screamed like possession. I don't know, I don't know why either. You've seen for yourself how I look now, haven't you? Messed up." Taehyung explained seriously. His hand fixed his hair upwards.
"But, has In Hyong met?" ask Jimin.
"Yet. Every time I managed to calm Mi So who kept screaming, she must be scared again. If I asked the same thing, he would scream next while walking backwards. He muttered indistinctly like a grandmother who was already sensitive to sound. Sometimes he covers his ears while screaming for help." Taehyung looked at So Hyun looking like he wanted to cry again.
"So, I haven't asked you that yet." Taehyung snorted resignedly.
"That's it. In Hyong will also meet. As for broken glass, this is still being investigated. Only Mi So knows." Eun Soo said in a voice that was like being pressed.

It's already the fifth day In Hyong disappeared. The wound that So Hyun suffered was not too gripping anymore. He was able to move as usual, even using his left hand.
The girl who was born to be able to use both of her hands to write that, seemed to worry about In Hyong. He seemed so frightened by everything he had experienced five days ago.
In addition, the psyche of Mi So has been stated less. Yeah, guess what. The girl went crazy, and was afraid of the darkness and the mirror.
About the mirror breaking simultaneously and the matter of blood, during these five days, Taehyung did not get any information. In Hyong has also been declared missing the day since the incident occurred.
For now, women's toilets are in pairs of new mirrors. The old mirrors, they've been thrown out. Because the flakes are really small. Except, that last mirror that didn't break.

Now, So Hyun was standing on the roof of his vast school. He was sitting in a place where students would often install telescopes during camp.
A gust of wind hit the soft facial skin. He closed his eyes slowly, remembering something. The thing that made him confused was half dead.

"Annyeong. Kim So Hyun imnida." So Hyun greeted warmly when he met In Hyong, his best friend.
"Ah, So Hyun-ssi. What the hell are you coming here for?" Mrs. Cha is seen greeting So Hyun's arrival with pleasure.
"Ah, here. When I come here, I want to tell you something. It's bad news." So Hyun murmured softly.
"What?"
"ins... In Hyong disappeared." So Hyun replied with a very slow volume of voice.
"In Hyong? Who's she?" Mrs. Cha asked while frowning his forehead.
So Hyun was silent. He was stunned when he heard the answer from Mrs. Cha, the woman who had given birth to In Hyong.
He was silent, his head felt so throbbing. She could not believe that her mother could not remember her own child. Until finally, Mr. Cha comes over to unravel So Hyun's astonishment.
"Yeobo, what's wrong?" ask Mr. Cha.
"This. So Hyun said that In Hyong disappeared. Do we have a son named In Hyong?" Mrs. Cha seemed to ask with seriousness.
"Daughter? No. gabe. Yeobo, did you forget? We only have 2 boys." said Mr. Cha sure.
In the midst of Mr. and Mrs chat. Cha, So Hyun held onto his head which began to throb. He really felt dumbfounded now. He had not expected this family to not remember In Hyong as their child. Surprisingly, they remembered who So Hyun was.
'Why...' Inner So Hyun started talking again.
He remembered the words of the two parents from In Hyong. Not only that, three days after the incident, there was no one who remembered who In Hyong was. In fact, his classmates were the same.
Who can still remember In Hyong who it was just himself - So Hyun-, Eun Soo, Taehyung and Jimin. Oh yes one more, Mi So... The rest of them are like memory loss.
