Gaze

Ji-hun was getting ready in a hurry,while also making sure that everything was looking the best it could on him. He wanted to look perfect for her today.

He knew that although we live in a society where beauty is judged by outward appearance, he didn't want to look handsome to her- he wanted to look familiar to her instead. He wanted to look like a person she found a connection with. He didn't know what exactly he was thinking, but he had planned everything with this thought in mind. Putting the coloured lenses on carefully, he blinked repeatedly.

But alas! As soon as he looked in the mirror after putting them on, he found a face staring back from the mirror- a face that did not resemble himself, but Zacharie. 

'So all this time his doubts had been correct- he was somehow related to Zacharie, and she, to Amélie.

But something struck him hard and he removed the lenses quickly. With a thump, sat himself on the bed, next to the mirror.
