Bo Chen has been a little troubled lately.
Every time he looks in the mirror, he sees a strange man.
The man in the mirror lightly kisses his cheek.
For an instant, a chill brushes against his skin.
But when Bo Chen turns and reaches out, he sees nothing and touches nothing.
Later, the man in the mirror grows bolder and bolder.
From light kisses, to deep kisses, to bodies joining in passionate intimacy.
Bo Chen calmly smashes every mirror in the room.
But the next day, they are all as good as new.
And at the foot of his bed, a huge full-length mirror has mysteriously appeared.
The man in the mirror gazes at him with shadowy eyes and a smile.
·
One month later, at a family gathering.
Bo Chen watches with his own eyes as the man in the mirror enters the real world and makes his way over to him amid everyone's welcoming smiles.
The man leans down affectionately. "A Chen, I'm here."
His family look at the two of them with relief, as if they were lovers who had been together for years.
Before Bo Chen can react, the man's hand settles on the back of his, cold as the touch from the mirror.
"After waiting all these years, I'm finally going to marry A Chen. Just seven more days, and you'll be my partner."
Everyone around them is moved by the man's words. They marvel at the grand wedding planned for seven days from now and at the childhood sweethearts' love story.
But Bo Chen still doesn't know this man.
Nor does he remember that he's supposed to be getting married.
The man's low voice falls, audible only to the two of them:
"I can't wait..."
"At last, you'll be mine."
