In the dark

26

Two more days were left. Last night had been a bust. The seven men walked up and down the sidewalks of the Han River. They would stop and investigate the parks, benches, and even the random swing at a park that was moving because of the wind. They call out her name until the wee hours of the morning before calling it quits for the night.

When the sun rose to start the day, four members (Namjoon, Yoongi, Jungkook, and Jin) went out into the city to continue the search. The other members (Hoseok, Jimin, and Taehyung) went back to work at HYBE. The BTS had coordinated with each other to take shifts to look for Peri. The first four would look until it was time for practice or if the manager called them in, and then they would switch. 

At lunch, the guys were again in the break room, trying to figure out new places they thought Peri might go.

"We can check the mall?" Hoseok suggested.

"There is a place where they race boats. Would she go there?" Jungkook asked.

"The spring flowers are coming into bloom. Maybe we should check out the botanical gardens?" Namjoon offered. 

The men weren't sure if she would go to any of those places, but they would check them out regardless. Even if they didn't think she would go, they would check it off anyways.

"Maybe she would go to Lotte World?" Jimin asked.

"She doesn't like crowds. It will be too busy with tourists," Namjoon replied. 

"We've checked the library, right?" Yoongi asked. "That's where I found her last time." Yoongi was becoming anxious. He was really starting to kick himself now. His anger and pride had gotten in his way. There were a thousand things he needed to say to Peri. The first one being I'm sorry.

"We know hyung, and we've checked there. Twice," Jungkook called o t.

"I swear if we ever find this girl, I'm going to-"

"Lock her in the apartment?"

"Glue her to the dining room chair?"

"I was going to say invest in a tracking device and stuff it in her shoes, but yeah, those sound like good ideas, too," Yoongi cocked a smile. At least they were thinking the same things he was. 

"I know I should have asked this a while ago, but How will I be able to see her? How will I know it's Peri " Hoseok asked.

"Well, you can see her anywhere, I guess. Yoongi saw her here at HY E. Jin met her in the apartment, and I met her at the museum. So there is no set place where you can or cannot see her," Namjoon stated. "As far as what she looks like...She is Jimin's height. She has long, black hair that goes past her shoulders. But the most unique thing about her is"

"Her eyes," Taehyung finished. "I've never seen anything like them before. I don't even know if they are real, to be honest. They remind me of..."

"A  prism," said Jin.

"A kaleidoscope," said Namjoon.

"I was going to say a rainbow," finished Taehyung. "You'll know when you see them."

"An invisible girl with rainbow eyes. This is going to be like finding a needle in a haystack!" Jimin whined.

"But we have to keep looking. We can't give up. She must know that we are her friends and are here for her. We can't let her be alone," Jin rallied.

"Fighting!" Taehyung called out.

After lunch, three men would go out and search for Peri. Namjoon and Yoongi would stay at their studios, and Jin and Jungkook would go to the apartment, hoping she might show up there. Jimin would go to the mall, Hoseok would look at the boat racing park, and Taehyung would go to the botanical gardens.
