Interlude : Who Am I?
Prologue: Call Me Stigma

"When can I see my own reflection in the mirror???"

*******

One night, the quiet atmosphere in the dorm made the contents look creepy, especially most of the members were outside the dorm, except Taehyung. He didn't follow his hyungs to the agency building because he wasn't feeling well. Although he insisted on joining, he looked weak so he could not go to BigHit's office.

Tonight, for Taehyung is a very scary thing, because the electric dorm suddenly just died. The whole room looked dark, even Taehyung himself was unable to see clearly so dark. To make the atmosphere somewhat bright, he tried to find the candle that Namjoon bought this morning for his purposes.

With the help of his cell phone light, he searched for the candle. As he stepped onto the 2nd floor, lightning suddenly boomed to Taehyung's surprise, causing his phone to fall to the floor.

"AH!!!!!" he screamed while covering both ears. His hands trembled because he knew the danger of holding a cell phone when lightning struck Earth.

"Aaaa, why is the atmosphere even more creepy like this. I got scared." he said, then got up and walked to his room with the help of his cell phone light.

When the full moon shines on the sky as well as the Earth, suddenly dark clouds and lightning block the moon making the sky darker. Electricity in the area around the dorm was still out, about 3 hours longer, making Taehyung dare not step out of his room. He sat on his mattress while holding tightly to his bolster. When lightning struck, he even covered his face with a pillow and covered both ears so creepy conditions in the dorm at that time.

Shortly after, he walked to the bathroom to urinate. Although he looked frightened and the power in the dorm was still out, he could not help but go to the restroom. As soon as he came out of the restroom, he tried to look at his face in the mirror to check his face.

Taehyung. The lightning came back blaring for the umpteenth time, and he was again surprised by the changes happening around him. Not lightning or dark anymore, but he was even more afraid when he found out his reflection in the mirror disappeared. It made his whole body tremble.

"wait. Why can't I see my own reflection in the mirror??"

*******

A bright morning despite last night's events made Taehyung not dare to come out of his room. He did not even dare to look at himself in the mirror once again to make sure he was there or not.

At breakfast time at the dorm, Seokjin asks Jungkook to call Taehyung in his room. Jungkook then walked to his room. As soon as he saw the door of his room closed, he tried to knock on the door slowly while calling his name. He could not open the door because it was almost locked from the inside.

"Taehyung hyung-ie~ Breakfast time... Hyung's favorite food is available on the table. I also want to eat if Hyung comes along to eat," Jungkook said through Taehyung's keyhole.

"Nae soli deullini, Kookie-ya??" taehyung replied with trembling. (Did you hear my voice, Kookie?)

Hearing Taehyung's voice, Jungkook replies to her by shouting, as he is worried that something has happened to his hyung on that one.

"Young!! What happened to you?!! Please open the door!! Please!!" shout Jungkook.

Taehyung did not answer. Jungkook is still worried to see Taehyung behind the door lock.

With such a slow pace, Taehyung walked to the locked door. He bends his knees and sees Jungkook through the door's keyhole.

Suddenly, Jimin walks out of his room past Taehyung's room. He saw Jungkook bending his knees and talking through the keyhole of Taehyung's room door. He walked over to Jungkook who was about to cry.

"You can see me, right?" he said in a low tone.

"Yep, Hyung. I can see you. So, please stop acting like this," Jungkook replied with a sad face. He didn't cry, he just looked sad.

"Taehyung-is? Why not go to the dining room? It's breakfast time." The sound of Jimin making Jungkook look. It also made Taehyung approach the door keyhole.

"Ah, can you help me get him out of his locked room like this 'Danger Hell', Hyung??" jungkook then stood looking at Jimin seriously.

The mood was silent again. Suddenly, Taehyung's remark made the Busan Line glimpse making both of their tears fall down his cheeks.

"Am I your Stigma??"
