"Klover...Klover..."

Klover let out a barely human groan as she turned her face so that her cheek pressed against the surface of her work desk. She had exhausted herself pulling a nearly all nighter with only a half a cup of iced coffee to keep her going. As she tried to fall back to sleep to let her tired brain rest, she felt someone gently grabbing her by the shoulder and shaking her again.

"Klover, wake up."

She knew that she couldn't ignore her best friend's voice so reluctantly opened her eyes. Lifting her head off the desk, Klover had to move a sluggish hand up to her face to yank away the paper that was stuck there. Klover heard her best friend laugh, and looked over at Calista's smiling face then. Even though Klover would never be a morning person, she appreciated being woken up by such a sweet and charismatic human being.

"We stayed up too late theorizing and you're gonna end up being late for work because of it."

Klover acknowledged what Calista said with a small nod of her head. The desk that she had fallen to sleep with her cheek against was strewn with notes that her and Calista had been putting together for the last couple of years. There were even some articles scattered in there that theorized where all the members of BTS had disappeared to. Klover caught the headline of one article sticking out from the rest of the pile.

'Three Years Later and Still No Sign.
Where In The World Are BTS?'

Klover and Calista were convinced that they hadn't all just up and disappeared without a trace on purpose. After all, they always expressed how much ARMY meant to them. Something unexplainable had to have happened to them and they were determined to figure out what.

"I'll make it. I just will stop and get a coffee on the way in," said Klover as she stood up.

As she got up, Klover noticed that her laptop was still on, having been accidentally left plugged in all night. Klover paused momentarily to run her finger over the mousepad of the laptop to turn it on and noticed that it was still stuck on a webpage tab that she had opened the night before. Her and Calista had gone down the rabbit hole last night looking for new theories to the disappearance of BTS in fanfictions. They thought that - if the boys had been kidnapped or something - some demented lunatic might have crafted a story about it; a truth wrapped up in fiction.

Klover knew their latest attempt was really grasping at straws, but she really felt as if they were running out of options. After three years, there were only so many places to look. The thing was that neither of them wanted to give up. The boys had changed their lives for the better and - if something happened to them - Klover and Calista wanted to save them.

Just as Klover was about to shut the internet browser off and shut down her laptop she froze. Her eyes lingered on the cover of one of the most popular fanfictions of BTS on the Wattpad platform. As she looked at the jungle landscape that made up the story's cover, she noticed a very faint flicker of light through the dense foliage of vines. She stared at it for a moment as the tiny pinprick of light appeared and then disappeared followed by another. It was sporadic in nature, but Klover gasped as she realized what the light was communicating. It was flashing 'SOS'.

"Calista," said Klover as she turned to look at her nearby. "I think I've found that clue we've been looking for."

"What do you mean?"

Klover pointed at the screen where the 'SOS' signal was still being flashed on the e-book cover.

"It's probably a glitch from your laptop being left on for so long," started Calista before trailing off. She couldn't deny the steady pattern of 'SOS' over and over again. 

"What does this mean?" asked Calista in a shocked whisper as the two of them watched the 'SOS' being signaled over and over again.

"I'm not sure," said Klover, "But you wanna bet we're gonna find out."

I know. I know. It's another new idea, but I couldn't help myself. I was in love with the concept, so wanted to post the teaser as soon as possible. This idea came to me roughly two hours ago, so please be understanding of any errors you might see.

I ask for your patience as I write all my new and old ideas. I will try my best to finish them all at some point, though I write what I'm inspired to so updates will be sporadic.

CHALLENGE TIME!

If this story meets the following challenge, I will work on the first chapter so that it can be posted sometime by the end of this upcoming week.

Before I post the first chapter, I'd love it if this author's note could get 10 votes. Lets see what happens, shall we?

(This challenge is obviously just for fun. Even if the idea doesn't reach 10 votes, I will post the first chapter if I feel like it. However - if the story reaches 10 votes and I haven't yet posted anything more to it - I will keep my promise and upload the first chapter ASAP).

This story is a BTS AU, which means not everything in it will be canon. Some details about the members of BTS might have been altered slightly to better fit the storyline.

This work is a work of fiction (in first draft form) that does not reflect in any way, shape or form the ideals of those it is portraying. I'm also not - in any way, shape, or form - affiliated with BTS or HYBE. This is merely meant as a piece of entertainment.
