The day of the disappearance

Yeji, Hueningkai and Yuna knocked on the door since Yeonjun called them to come over quickly. Yesterday they six friends found a mysterious book inside an old house down the street near their school.

"You think its worth it for opening that?" Yuna looked at the old book disgustingly

"What if this cost actually millions? We could be millionaires by the end of the day" Yeonjun took the book out of his bag

"An old book worth millions? That sounds rubbish to me" Kai said

"Okay bet what do you think its inside the book" Kai looked at Yuna

"Hmm maybe a diary of a person?"

"I think its just blank pages" Yeji glared at Yeonjun

"I feel like it has something important" Yeonjun answered

"The only way to find out is to see for ourselves" Yeonjun was about to open the book as Yeji said something

"Maybe we should wait for Soobin and Lia"

"We could just tell them afterwards" Yeonjun placed the book in the middle

He gently opened the book as they were greeted by gibberish hand writing. No one understood what was written inside the book It looks old and was pretty torn apart.Yeonjun slammed the book  in disappointment.

"Well that was worth millions" Yuna bursted out laughing

"Millions of braincell damage" Kai laughed along without noticing the sides of the book started to glow

"So what do we do now that its worthless?" Yeji raised her brow

"Lets put it back.." Yuna suggested

"Alright.. What a waste of time and effort" Yeonjun stuffed the book inside his bag as they went down stairs

Yeonjun turned the doorknob and closed the door behind them. When they were about to leave Kai pointed out Yeonjun's bag was glowing light. Yeji opened the zipper of the bag and took out the old book.

"Why is it glowing like that?" Yuna closed her eyes

Yeji dropped the book on the floor as it flipped open by its own. The book started to flip really quickly as the light was getting brighter and brighter. It flashed before their eyes then the next thing they saw was pure darkness...

Kai gently opened his eyes as he was shocked on where he was. It was a colorful and unrealistic looking tunnel, He saw his other friends behind him blasting away to the air trying to maintain balance.

"Where are we?" Yeonjun shouted

"I- i don't know" Yeji stuttered

"DID WE DIE?" Yuna widen her eyes

"I CAN'T DIE! I HAVEN'T GRADUATED YET!" She added

"Are we inside the book?" Kai asked

"Were in a tunnel sorta thing..." Yeonjun looked around

"Someone pinch me really hard right now! I can't be floating!" Yeji looked down

They were surrounded by letters and drawings that were moving. It was quite of a ride suddenly Yeonjun noticed the tunnel was about to have a long drop. "WERE GONNA FALL!"

"AHHHH!" They shouted all together and closed their eyes as they were falling in mid air

— Meanwhile back at Yeonjun's house —

Soobin arrived as he wiped his feet on the rug outside. He pressed the doorbell as no one answered. Yeonjun's parents were at work even though it was a Saturday. They come around 5-6 PM during weekdays and 3-4 PM on weekends.

"Hello?" He called

"Huh.. weird" Soobin thought as he looked around the porch

Moments later Lia arrived "What are you doing here outside?" She asked

"No one is answering the door.."

"Isn't his parents home?" Lia took a step closer to the door and tried to open the doorknob

"They're at work.. Yeonjun said that's why he called us to meet up"

Soobin noticed Yeonjun's backpack on the floor and the book they found yesterday. He went to the bag and picked it up. "How did this get here?"

"Typical Yeonjun.. Throwing things out the house" Lia rolled her eyes

"Let's just leave if he isn't going to answer the door" Lia added

"Wait let's place the bag first in front of their door.. You know Yeonjun he'll try to find things that he throws out" Soobin placed the book inside the bag and left it at the door

"Hmm.. i wonder where he could be.." He thought
