Mirror, mirror on the wall.

I made a wish.

“Who is the most beautiful person in the world?”

A girl making a wish in a mirror.

The girl lowered her head and closed her eyes.

Even though I made a wish, I didn’t check the person reflected in the mirror.

Well, I already know that.

Who is the most beautiful in the world.

Because the girl knows.

The most beautiful, kind, and charming person in the world.

The only person who understood the girl and gave her meaning in life.

Because ‘that person’ is definitely the best in the world.

so,

Mirror, mirror on the wall.

I made a wish.

“The most beautiful person in the world… Who loves that person the most?”

Second wish.

Only then did the girl raise her head.

An ordinary mirror reflected the girl.

“… … .”

The crooked girl.

The girl envied the girl reflected in the mirror.

… … .

… … .

One day.

Long, long ago.

There was a girl who was jealous of the ‘fake’ reflected in the mirror.

… … .

… … .

Click!

“Eumhmm~.”

Camera shutter sound.

A humming nasal sound.

The sound of crickets chirping from afar.

Eun Bang-ul, who arrived at ‘Saetbyeol Apartment’, looked up at the dark sky.

It’s a beautiful full moon evening.

The pure white rabbit ears that flapped their wings high in the sky represented the girl’s joyful mood, and the gift box she was holding in her arms hinted at the girl’s purpose in coming to ‘Satbyeol Apartment’ at this time.

‘Unnie Eunha’s house… I haven’t been there recently. It’s been a few months, right?’

The rabbit girl, who was laughing all by herself, was walking around the apartment parking lot.

The girl’s car parked in front of the dark guardhouse, near the entrance wall.

And the ‘gray van’ parked right next to the building entrance.

There were only two cars parked in the dark parking lot.

‘Hmm… Well, I guess Eunha is probably eating dinner and taking a shower by now?’

So, now that the galaxy is showering,

I plan to sneak into the house and leave a gift box.

For the galaxy that will explore the dangerous [rift field] this holiday.

Thump thump.

The rabbit, who was imagining Eunha taking a naked shower, smiled and lowered the corners of his mouth.

I wonder if I can wash properly because my chest is bigger than my head. I worry if I might fall over in the bathroom because of my center of gravity.

Anyway, it’s clear that showers will take longer than before,

Eunbangul walked with a leisurely mind.

‘You’ll definitely be surprised.’

Click.

A photo taken without thinking.

I looked up at the dark apartment and captured it on camera.

Only the house of the galaxy, ‘904’, had the lights on.

One of the dark windows is slightly open, revealing a ‘shadow’ resembling a human hand extending outward.

As if waving at the girl.

‘hmm?’

The ‘shadow’ captured in the photo.

It was dark around me so I couldn’t see clearly.

Was this taken by chance? This happens sometimes when taking pictures.

Glance…

A girl who felt creepy.

Eunbangul raised her head and looked at the window where the ‘shadow’ in the photo was waving its hand.

The tightly shut window stuck its flippers out, saying, ‘That was a bad shot!’

“Hmm…”

I guess I took the picture wrong…

The girl with her pure white rabbit ears hanging down lowered her head.

… … The ‘shadow’ of the person in the photo entered the house and closed the window.

“Hmm…?”

Am I seeing things because it’s dark?

Eunbangul, rubbing her eyes as black as tar, stared at the photo she had just taken for a long time before carefully putting the photo away in her bosom.

‘It’s too dark in the apartment. There’s no one at the security office… Are the other houses already asleep? But it’s not even 8 p.m. yet?’

A strange apartment.

Eunbangul, shaking off some of her anxiety, entered the apartment building.

(Sister! When can I come over to your house to play?)

(Bangul-ah. Don’t come near the apartment. You’ll be in real trouble.)

Although, for some unknown reason, Eunha was reluctant to let the girl approach her apartment…

Because it is human nature to want to be with someone you like, even if it is just for a little while.

and,

Even if by any chance you are wrong,

Because the silver bell of ‘tomorrow’ will smile towards the galaxy.

‘Even if everything else is fake, my feelings for Eunha are real.’

Because of this, Eunbangul was more carefree than expected.

Perhaps the expression ‘arbitrary’ would be a bit more accurate.

Click! Click!

Take a picture.

‘Saetbyeol Apartment’, which I visited after a long time, feels unfamiliar and dark.

Who on earth owns this strange building?

I got on the only elevator, exhaling pure white breath.

… … .

The only elevator.

I came in carrying a gift box and pressed the 9th floor button.

Then the elevator begins to rise with a gentle vibration.

Wheeing…

The sound of an elevator.

A large mirror reflecting the prickly, pure white rabbit ears.

Then suddenly,

A ‘guide’ posted on the elevator bulletin board catches my eye.

‘A guide to a harmonious apartment culture?…… One out of two is broken? What do you mean?’

Like complimenting the girl, or what to do if a doll falls in the hallway.

What about the noise between floors, what about privacy…

It’s a strange guide.

I really don’t understand what the building owner was thinking when he put up this ‘instruction guide’.

Eunbangul looked back at the elevator, suspicious of the ‘Satbyeol Apartment’ that was different from her memories.

“… … .”

Elevator mirror.

A rabbit girl with round eyes blinking is seen.

“… … .”

Click.

The pure white rabbit ears flicked to the right.

… click.

Then the silver bell in the mirror also wiggles its ear to the right.

“… … .”

“… … .”

A sense of discomfort. Awkwardness.

Eunbangul’s expression distorted subtly.

Tiingㅡ.

At that moment, the door opened.

4th floor.

At the end of the dark hallway sits a cute ‘clay doll’.

Wheeingㅡ.

The door closed as if it was a mistake,

The stopped elevator heads upstairs.

… … Are you tired?

The rabbit girl, who had just shaken off the discomfort from before, looked down at the gift box she was holding in her arms.

‘Whew… I wonder if my sister will like it…’

Tiingㅡ.

The door opens.

5th floor.

At the end of the dark hallway lies a broken, cute ‘clay doll’.

A subtle scent of blood.

Wheeingㅡ.

The door then closes and we head upstairs.

‘What? Is it broken?…… I wish Eunha unnie was here with me. I want to see her get embarrassed every time she stops and shakes her tits.’

‘You’re always pouring milk on other people’s heads.’

Tiingㅡ.

The door opens.

6th floor.

In the middle of a dark hallway, a beautiful woman I once saw stands there.

A spotless white dress with a ‘cross decoration’ attached to the waist.

Sure… I’ve been visiting the cafe every day lately,

He is a person who just watches the galaxy work all day and then leaves.

It was this apartment person.

Did you become friends with Eunha as you passed by?

The way he looked at the galaxy from the cafe was unusual, so I remembered his face.

“… … .”

[The Red Woman], who was looking at the smiling rabbit girl with a glum face, got on the elevator.

And then, as I was about to press the button indifferently, I discovered that the 9th floor was already pressed.

He finds a gift box in Eunbangul’s arms and quietly gets off the elevator.

“Huh…? You’re not riding?”

“I know how to give gifts too.”

“… … ?”

What could it be?

It seems like I’m the kind of person who only just remembered our anniversary when I saw my lover’s family bringing me all kinds of gifts.

I just brought you some things that might be helpful in [The Crack Field] as gifts.

Wheeingㅡ.

The door closes with the back of ‘that thing’ hurriedly walking back home.

The stopped elevator heads up again.

Tiingㅡ.

And then the elevator stops.

This time, the 7th floor.

The sound heard when the door opens.

The laughter of children crackling.

“… … Collapse…”

And, as we go up each level,

Eunbangul coughed repeatedly as if something was uncomfortable and pulled at the neck of his T-shirt.

I can’t breathe.

Could it be altitude sickness?

When I climb to a high place, my breathing becomes faster without me realizing it.

Minor fear of heights.

Eun Bang-ul, who wiped away the cold sweat, exerted a little more strength to reach the 9th floor where Eun Ha-na lived.

Tiingㅡ!

And then the door opened.

8th floor.

A dark hallway lies before my eyes.

Stairs visible to the side.

The 8th floor was particularly cold.

Starting with ‘Room 801’, the front doors of all the houses are wide open.

‘What the heck…’

Trouble is getting worse and worse.

Can we really say that the elevator is broken at this point?

Someone’s prank.

Or a ghost.

I hate both.

Eunbangul pressed the elevator close button with a nervous expression.

This time too, the door would close soon and I would head to the 9th floor…

Beep beep beep.

however,

What was waiting for the girl?

It was a sharp alarm sound indicating that the garden was overflowing.

… … .

Beep beep.

“Pruning…?!”

Garden overflow.

A rabbit riding alone in an elevator let out a pitiful scream.

I look around inside, clutching my pounding heart.

But there was no one in the elevator that stopped on the 8th floor.

The bright light from the ceiling extends into the dark hallway.

Garden overflow, was the girl’s love for the galaxy that big and heavy?

Just in case, I read the ‘instructions’ posted on the elevator bulletin board.

No related content is visible.

At the end of the guide, someone simply wrote the phrase ‘Night Caution’

Beep beep.

The garden overflow alarm won’t stop.

As if telling me to get off here.

The doors won’t close and the elevator won’t move.

It must be self-consciousness to feel like this old apartment is working together to block the girl.

“Phew……!”

If you go one more floor, it’s the 9th floor…

The rabbit girl looked out into the dark outside of the wide open elevator,

Eunbangul looked up at the ceiling with her head raised as if she was in pain.

『… … .』

『… … .』

『… … .』

Elevator ceiling,

I can see the back of the heads of ‘those things’ stuck upside down against the bright lights.

… … Don’t your eyes hurt when you look at a light like that up close?

‘Um… I guess I’ll have to take the stairs~!’

Positive, like the galaxy.

I originally told you to stay away from things you don’t understand.

I bent down hard to avoid having ‘those things’ on the elevator ceiling grab my hair, and got out of the elevator and entered the 8th floor hallway.

Only then did the elevator, which had lost all of its garden space, close and go up to the 9th floor, then head to the 10th floor without stopping.

‘This apartment had a 10th floor?’

Just things that are incomprehensible.

I have to quickly leave the gift at Galaxy’s house and go home.

Eunbangul, who had made up her mind, climbed the stairs with her pure white rabbit ears perked up.

Blink. Blink.

A light that turns on when it detects movement.

I went up to the landing between the 8th and 9th floors.

“… … Haa. What is it this time? A rabbit doll? ”

『… … .』

Beep!

And the girl.

At the end of the stairs leading to the 9th floor,

He found himself looking down at a pure white ‘rabbit stuffed animal’.

『… … .』

A pure white rabbit doll.

The size is the same as the silver bell itself.

The neat and well-made sewing line caught my eye.

It was as if someone had skillfully sewn doll clothes onto a human body.

Thump. Thump.

A strange sensation.

A sticky gaze, like looking into a broken mirror.

“… … Hello. Can you step aside?”

“Rabbit shouldn’t come here. Before you get sad.”

What you see is a bitter grudge.

A voice without any hesitation, as if he had done the same thing many times before.

Eunbangul, who felt a murderous intent, took out several photos from her bosom.

“Can’t I just give a gift to Eunha?”

『… … .』

“Okay. I’ll go and give it to you.”

『… … .』

“So, who are you…? Are you stopping me from going to see my sister?”

Ask a trivial question.

Then, the ‘rabbit doll’ guarding the 9th floor turned its head.

A reflection of oneself in a dark room.

A pure white stuffed animal.

『… … That’s right… What did my face look like?』

‘That’ answers.

With a voice just like the silver bell.

『… … I will protect you, Sister… because my heart is real.』

Resentment builds up.

It’s a transferred grudge.

Swish…

A ‘rabbit doll’ with its hands in its fluffy kangaroo-like front pockets,

Just like the silver bells, I took out a few photos.

Click.

Camera shutter sound.

Like a flash that illuminates the darkness, it bursts out in an instant and disappears without a trace.

………dump.

The gift box she was holding fell onto the stairs.

… … .

… … .

Urgh! Urgh!

Please, I hope,

If our story began with tragedy,

“Die! Someone like you!”

I will be a laughing stock for loving you,

May your story be a comedy.

“On a fake topic! Don’t… make my sister suffer…!”

Bow down and pray.

… … .

… … .

Ding dong~.

The doorbell rings.

There is a flurry of activity just inside the front door.

“Ah, Mr. Mouse. Hide, hide.”

“What? What came?”

“I don’t know either.”

“Huh?”

“I don’t know, so I’ll just hide for now.”

“Ouch… Ouch… Shut up… Don’t push me with your chest…!”

“It keeps reaching me. I’m sorry.”

Eunha put a bag of salt into the mouth of a shy mouse like it was pocket money and put it in the toilet.

She opened the front door in light clothing, having just gotten out of the shower.

“… … Huh…?”

“Ta-da~! I’m here!”

The front door is open.

Eunbangul, with her pure white rabbit ears perked up, holds out a gift box in her arms.

In the dark evening sky, a smile as clear as the sun passes by silently,

Around 8pm.

“Bangul-ah?……Why here…”

“Hey~ You said that if you came to my apartment, you’d be in big trouble… You told me not to come because you wanted to have fun with Mr. Rat without me knowing?”

“No, Bangul. Oh, come on… Didn’t you see anything strange on your way here?”

“Huh? Not really? More importantly, doesn’t anyone live here?”

Silver bell.

I liked the way you called my name.

Wheeing… chin…

Wheeing… Whew…

Elevator to the 9th floor.

A location that is hidden from view by the front door.

Wheeing… Whew…

The elevator door opens and closes repeatedly, blocked by the bloody corpse of a rabbit.

Such an evening.

“Can I come in for now?”

Which rabbit rang the doorbell?

Finding simple fakes.

Click-.

So, the rabbit holding the gift box entered the galaxy’s house.
