章 4: No Way Back
Once in the store, all of the boys were once again surprised by the scene.
The store didn't at all look like the one they had just been to. In fact, besides the layout of the room, this room seemed more like a haunted house than a store. There were cobwebs strewn in every corner and all of the objects had a thick layer of dust. Even after turning on the old fashioned lamp by the counter, the room still felt dark and creepy.
Jimin carefully stepped into the store, feeling fear in the depths of his heart.
"Is this really that store? This place looks like it's been abandoned for at least a few decades." Suga observed, his eyes wandering.
As Jimin cautiously searched for the music box, his face grew uglier and uglier. His heart beat faster as his hands flew to one cabinet to another and as his eyes darted.
Open, nothing.
Open, nothing.
Nothing. Nothing. NOTHING.
Jimin's head throbbed. There wasn't any music box to be found.
Behind him, his friends also had confused expressions.
"Jiminie, maybe it was bought or something, right? It's not your fault." Hoseok comforted him.
Jimin's shoulders shook. "No, it is my fault! Now, we can't go home either..."
"... Maybe, we should just stay here after all. It's not that bad." Taehyung said nervously. Even though he didn't like the new world they came to, he hated the feeling that the store gave him even more. this store scared him.
Suddenly, another person appeared in the doorway.
---------------------------------------------
Hitman Bang was growing impatient. He had stood outside, waiting in the hot sun for so long.
He took out his portable and iProjection. Its been a few minutes already. What are they doing inside? Dealing advanced drugs?
Despite the growing bad premonition when near the store, he walked to the doorway and peered at the boys inside. They were standing around in the room, looking like they didn't know what to do with their lives. Hitman Bang's impatience could clearly be shown on his face.
"What are you doing?"
A boy coughed awkwardly. "We couldn't find what we were looking for... We are ready to go now. Please lead the way Hitman Bang." He gestured with his eyes to his other companions, who nodded.
Hitman Bang looked at each of them suspiciously before hurriedly walking away. He thought to himself, what a strange group of people!
He tried to walk through the streets leisurely like a man with high social status, but one could tell with his unnatural pose and his expression that he was trying too hard.
He looked around the blocks of skyscrapers that soared above the clouds and the super technology that surrounded everyone. The crowd softly murmured to their iProjects. How typical.
Hitman Bang glanced at the 7 boys he recruited and found them staring blankly at the sight, full of awe. Maybe they couldn't really enjoy the structure of Seoul before now.
----------------------------------
All kinds of people roamed the streets, carrying some sort of device that seemed to project something only the owner could see. There were no running cars; instead, people sat on floating cars that flew in the air! Huge full-motion, high-resolution digital spectaculars were located almost everywhere. The fashion here had all types of different styles but at the same time, nothing felt out of place. This place felt like Seoul, but with brand new technology, and double the population.
For BTS, the city seemed awesome; they had never seen anything else like it. If the circumstances allowed, Suga would've taken a picture and paste it on his wall. The world that they saw seemed impossible to create on Earth.
It was as if in a trance, no one said anything; they just observed this world's amazing structure and people with round eyes.
