  When I came to, I found myself in a place called Eden.

I've never heard of it before, but they help those in need of help. I was kept there for a while to make sure I wasn't hurt too badly.

When I finally came home, my noona made a big fuss about me coming home late with bruises all over.

My parents were both upset about it too, but they didn't seem as worried.

I went back to school the next day with bandages. Nothing really changed, but I was anxious for school to end.

When it was finally time to leave, I practically bolted from my seat and ran out the door. I didn't stop until I reached a familiar surrounding.

I found myself back at the river from yesterday and started looking around non stop.

That guy from yesterday had something, but where..?

Next to the wall, my eyes landed on a small spray bottle. It was barely noticeable as it was covered by dirt.

I rushed to pick it up, carefully dusting it off.

I couldn't find anything out of the ordinary until I turned it upside down. There, on the bottom of the bottle, was a small drawing.

While the bottle was a dirty white, the design was a black outline of a.. swan?

I stuffed it into my pocket and hurried home. After the incident from yesterday, my noona became worried about me being gone for too long.

She didn't want anything else happening to me. She knew about the boy from before as well as the place I woke up in.

My parents do too. I didn't feel like I should hide it from them, they're my family after all.

My noona's been helping me to find that mysterious boy with the golden eyes. It took a lot of searching on hidden websites, but we found something.

It was a fan page for someone called "Black Swan". Apparently, they're popular in the underground community.

He makes things for others and sells them for less than most, who are really expensive.

Some of the forums we found suggest that he's a Beta working for RASFAW.

We found talk about Eden too.

After hours of searching, I found a small article about the 'Garden' I found myself in.

In the end, we found an article of instructions to sign up as a member.

My noona and I decided to try it after a bit of hesitating. Even if I don't find my mystery savior, I'll at least be able to help others like they helped me.

After that, we waited.

It had been a couple weeks since then, but we still hadn't heard back from them.

Then we did.

Almost a month later, we received a message.

Rm:
Kim Taehee and Kim Taehyung
You have been accepted to join RASFAW

As we read the messages, we could feel our excitement levels rising.

Rm:
Our members will bring you both IDs within a week
They will explain to you the rules and how to use it

Ever since then, my noona and I have been on the lookout. We're still waiting.

Two days after we got the message, I spent my time in school boringly.

Ever since that night a couple months ago, I've been spending most of my time elsewhere, so I haven't met with anyone in school.

Today's the first time in a while that I've been anywhere besides the classroom during lunch time.

That's when I heard it.

That voice.

I turned frantically as my eyes stopped immediately on the owner of the voice. Him?

There, sitting alone on a bench with [Jeon] Jungkook, was Park Jihyun. He's the voice from that night. Is he close to that guy?

"I don't know. The last time I saw him was at the river next to our house.."

That peaked my attention.

Since I was far enough not to be noticed, I quickly sprayed myself with the weird bottle from that night months ago.

There was still half the bottle left when I found it. I've been carrying it with me since. I was careful to keep quiet as I got a little closer.

Jihyun looked upset the closer I got to them based on his movements.

As I hid [just] close enough to hear their conversation clearly, I could hear the distress in his voice.

"What if something happened to him? He's been sick for an entire year. He's too weak to defend himself, and he got beat up the last time I saw him!"

Sick? He held his own pretty well. Plus, he looked relatively fine to me..

"Do you have any idea where he could've gone?"

Jihyun shook his head with a sigh. "I don't know.."

Jungkook had a look of thought before he suggested, "What if we checked out his room? Maybe he left something that can give us a clue."

Jihyun hesitated. "I don't know.. I'll ask my parents tomorrow since it's a weekend."

Jungkook nodded. "Maybe I can stay the night. My dad probably wouldn't care. Plus, we can look for your hyung easier that way."

Jihyun nodded just as the bell for class rang.

I waited for a minute before moving, in case they forgot something and came back.

I rushed to my next class as my mind was making connections.

Now I know where to look.
