'Blackswan' is the name of their company. I sit at my desk, waiting for my laptop to load and press on the Google icon.

I type in 'Blackswan' on the search bar and press enter, and it opens a sea of websites, articles, and blogs fill up on my page.

I read the title of the first website, 'The mystery of the Blackswan company' it read and I instantly click on it.

It starts right away:

'Hwang Yeji, the president of Blackswan, has denied all and any questions asking about details of her work.

For years, people have been trying to understand the company that is large and well-known by thousands.

Blackswan has had many mysteries surrounding it, one of the most popular being: what do they really do? Stock market? Production?

This year, Shin Ryujin, the vice president, has finally answered our questions, they produce medical equipment for hospitals.'

I pause, that rings a bell. I was told Yeji's father manufactured medical equipment.

Did Yeji inherit her father's work?

My head starts aching from the piles of new information.

"Why do they all work under the same company..?" I mumble to myself, scrolling through another blog.

'Many have finally gotten the answer to the question, "What is Blackswan?" We have been told that it's a production company, however, many speculate this answer.'

I click out of the site, not satisfied with the answer. That can't be all of it.

I get pulled out of my thoughts when Yizhuo knocks on my door. She comes in with a plate of food and a sweet smile on her face.

"Yeji made dinner, but I supposed you weren't going to be interested in having dinner with us," she says before I can ask. I chuckle.

"You didn't have to," I answer.

"Oh, but I did. Yeji made steak." She puts the plate down on my desk, and I subtly shut my laptop off.

"Did you eat yet?" I ask.

"I came to deliver this and to talk to you." She sits on the foot of my bed. I get off of my chair and sit beside her.

"What is it?"

"I'm really sorry about Tzuyu, even Ryujin said it was bad. We're sorry that you had to get involved with us," she says, her face sympathetic.

"Thanks, but I guess I pushed too far."

"Yizhuo, we're fucking starving!" I hear a voice yell.

"They're going to start eating, are you sure you're going to be fine alone?" She asks and I just nod.

The next afternoon I come home from school with Yizhuo, having no plans in mind for the rest of the upcoming day.

Luckily, the Geometry exam was the only exam we were going to have in a few weeks.

I go inside the kitchen to make some lunch. I take out a packet of ramen and pour some water in a small pot, letting it boil on top of the stove.

When the ramen is ready, I pour out the water and add in powder and sauces, mixing it in with a pair of chopsticks.

I put it on my table and wait for it to cool down a little, taking out my phone and googling 'Blackswan.'
