[Novel] The Mirror [Chapter 5 (1/3)]

He never felt happier to be called oppa by anyone else before Sikyung. Myungwoo even smiled before he fell asleep.

At 5 in the morning, Minseong is the first one who wakes up. He quickly wakes the people who will go to the mirror world first (all the people except Minjoon and Hyunki). Sikyung happily prepared a simple breakfast with Minseong - a double kimchi toast for everyone - and they packed some for Sungmi. 

Kichul joined them half an hour later, looking fresh and all ready. In the midst of all the chaos and the noise they make, Hyunki is amazingly still in his deep sleep. Five minutes before six, everyone is in their last night's sleeping position. 

"We'll take care of your body well, so don't worry about anything," said Minseong, "I will wake Hyunki hyeong up right after all of you go."

"You all should stay safe too," reminded Myungwoo.

"Don't worry, hyeong, we all will be fine," said Minjoon.

In the next minute - because of constant training they had - except for Sikyung, they easily fall asleep. Sikyung needs to toss and turn several times before she finally falls asleep. 

It's still midnight in the mirror world. Sungmi doesn't sleep, she has so many thoughts in her mind that prevent her from resting or sleeping. She has walked around 2 km from the shores in these two days. She can walk more but she promised Myungwoo to stay safe. It's not wise for her to walk alone, even though she is a really strong guardian, in these uncertain times. 

Darcy Country isn't the same as she has ever seen before. What happened to the king and the queen? What about their magic ball? Are they all safe? The night sky is clear tonight. The light from the full moon and the stars shining through the trees around her in this forest. She shouldn't worry too much, right?

"We are here!"

Sungmi smiled at the people who appeared from the mirrors she put on the forest's uneven ground: Myungwoo, Bonhwa, Daesun, Minsook, Kichul and Sikyung.
