Gone

"The path that you choose is a difficult one."

"I know."

"There will be times when you'd have to endure extreme heights of pain and you might be thrown into the abyss of darkness..."

"I understand."

"You are still willing to proceed?"

"Yes."

"Really you, humans are-----.........."

"......ona!..Noona!....Reijin noona!"

The addressed woman woke up in a cold sweat with a jolt. Her body was drenched in sweat even though the entire room where she had dozed off was fully air conditioned. She had a dream...or rather a long forgotten memory, something that she cannot remember at her conscious state. Her enlarged irises focused on the person who was calling her and it turned out to be Raven, one of the band members of S4We. He is holding a white cup in his hand. His eyes, baby blue as ocean, looked kind and concerned as always.

"Oh...its you..Raven..I uh..didn't mean to fall asleep..I.." She fumbled around the sofa to sit up straight.

"Gwaenchanh-ayo noona. You haven't slept for three nights straight..."

"Any news?" Reijin cut off the rant of concern of Raven that shut the boy up immediately before his large expressive eyes breaking into somber ones again as he pathetically shook his head. Reijin sunk back into the sofa again. Its been three days since her brother went missing--today being the fourth day and yet no news of him.

Park Ryujin, her brother, has been missing for four days.

She, Park Reijin, has been living without any news from him for ninety six hours.

Her brother was last seen to be entering the men's washroom after his shoot with his band mates in the music countdown show and after that he disappeared without any signs! It was after good twenty five minutes later when Mrs. Lee along with Horus and other teammates realized that something was amiss for Ryujin musn't be taking such a long time in the washroom. And bodyguards generally don't accompany the idols in the washroom, so obviously Horus didn't follow him.

Immediately they started to search for him without any avail and the matter arose to the production company of the show whose security guards scurried across the building and its adjacent streets in search of the missing idol. Soon, the matter reached in the ears of CEO of SDQ and she soon escalated this matter to the police as it was the last option. It wasn't long when the news got spread across various social medias and news channels and a flustered, almost close to tears sister of Park Reijin appeared at the gates of SDQ. Reijin had already talked with Mrs. Lee who comforted her the best as she could, the CEO too, had an appointment with her and promised not to leave out any options of finding out her brother, Ryujin's fellow bandmates too are worried, locked themselves up in their dorms to avoid unwanted reporters, only Raven checked up on Reijin repeatedly. All the schedules of S4We were suspended, making the company suffer some losses. 

Reijin had refused food and water from both Mrs. Lee and Raven for three days straight, but on the fourth day, she couldn't bear it anymore as she almost fainted on the floor had not Raven caught her. Then she was forced to drink the light soup from the cup which she wolfed down. As she finished it, she was offered with a packaged hotdog from a nearby convenience store bought by him sheepishly. Reijin ate it without any complaints. After she finished it, she felt her energy return. All of a sudden, a thought struck her.

"Raven, have you seen Horus?"

"Horus? No. Perhaps he was employed into the search party for Ryujin---ah noona, you don't think that Horus was involved somewhat in this disappearance case, do you? " The woman beside him did not respond but her eyes expressed her thought. "Aniyo noona. That's not possible! Sure, compared to Lee_ssi, he is a newbie in here but....he....he can never do that!"

Reijin had to force herself to break eye contact with Raven. This guy might be right or he might be wrong. She doesn't know either of that, so she found herself whispering that sounded loud enough for him to hear in the vacant waiting arena of the building; "You never know Raven. You never know...".    

'Because I know him way before than you did, not because of who he is, but because of whose son he is.'
