I got out of the car with Changhyun and marveled at the sight. Sure, it was just trees with their green leaves surrounding us, but I personally enjoyed being in nature. We walked in the opposite direction of the designated path and towards the rumored area mentioned in the blog post I had read.

"Think it's real?" Changhyun asked as we moved branches out of our way.

"Won't know until we get there." I replied as I held my camera tightly.

"Ugh, I fucking hate bugs." cursed Changhyun as we pressed forward.

I swatted at them as I slowed to a stop. I looked around and wondered if we were supposed to make a turn. I looked at Changhyun who didn't look happy at all. I turned right then started to worry as the trees started getting thicker.

"We're lost aren't we?" Changhyun said in a tired voice.

"You didn't have to come." I snapped.

"Hey, chill out." he said as he placed a hand on my shoulder.

I sighed then pushed his hand off of my shoulder. We were both tired and stressed. I started to feel like I was lied to, though, no one told me I had to go. I guessed I was upset with them writing something false. Maybe we weren't looking the right way. I closed my eyes and thought of what I wanted to find.

"Jacob?" I heard Changhyun say.

"Close your eyes and think of why we're here." I said then let out a sigh.

After a bit of silence, I opened my eyes and saw little flowers blooming diagonal from me. I grabbed Changhyun by his wrist and followed the flowers, making sure neither of us stepped on one. The flowers had started to become bigger the farther we walked. Soon the flowers were taller than us and made a makeshift arch.

"Are you seeing this?" I said in awe.

"Sure am..." replied Changhyun as we passed under the arch.

We looked around as we stood in a clearing that gave a clear view of the sky above. It was beautiful because of its simplicity. I quickly took out my camera and phone.

"Who made that blog post by the way?" he asked as I snapped a photo on my phone.

I gave him the site then continued to take pictures. I felt him tap me with a concerned look.

"It's not here." Changhyun said as he showed me the page that said error.

I checked my phone and showed him that the page was indeed there. The fact that it wasn't showing up on his phone worried me slightly. I looked up from my phone and saw a balloon floating in between trees. A part of me panicked as I had seen the movie It and knew better than to approach stray balloons. I panicked more as the balloon started coming closer. I looked to warn Changhyun, but he wasn't standing there anymore.

The leaves started blowing and a sweet scent filled my nose. Soon a person had emerged from the trees holding the balloon. I no longer felt scared. His eyes gazed at me with gentleness and his mouth was curved into a very faint smile. His hair fell over his face nicely, outlining his face perfectly. Breath-taking was the only word I could think of that could accurately describe him.

"H- Hello..." I said as my eyes traveled all over his figure.

He squatted then tilted his head like a small puppy would after you spoke to it. Did he understand me or not? I greeted him again and once more he tilted his head. Was that his way of saying hello? I decided to move on and learn his name.

"What's your name?" I asked.

He pointed towards the sky and I could barely make out the name "Kevin" made up of clouds. I assumed that he didn't know verbal speech. Did he never learn?

"Are you all by yourself?" I asked, still keeping my distance.

He nodded then let his eyes rest on the balloon in his hand. I followed his gaze then widened my eyes as the balloon had taken the form of a child. I pulled out my phone and took a picture. I went to my gallery then rapidly blinked. I looked up and saw I was surrounded by trees and the sweet scent had disappeared.

"There you are!" I heard a familiar voice say.

I felt him hug me as I stared at the empty photo. There were only trees and grass in the photo. It was like he was a vampire with no reflection. Did I scare him? Changhyun slapped my cheeks, breaking me from my thoughts.

"Did you see him?" I asked full of hopeful.

"See who? We're the only idiots out here." he said as he lifted me to my feet.

"Kevin. He was holding a balloon and had a pretty face. He had such soft eyes..." I said as my mind reminisced.

"Jacob, I think nature's getting to you. Let's get going. I have to get to work soon." Changhyun said as he led me away.

ㅎ ㅎ

I restarted my phone and ended up with the same result. Kevin wasn't in the picture and nor was his balloon. I had to do something wrong. Did he not like photos? Would he give me a chance to apologize? I exited my gallery as I sat at my desk. My door swung open and a coworker had burst in.

"You could've knocked, Jin." I said flatly.

"You wouldn't let me in otherwise. Anyway, the boss wants to see you. Well, us." she said with her arms crossed.

"Lead the way." I replied as I rose from my seat to follow her.

After a silent elevator ride, we walked ourselves to the office. The boss was a nice person, don't get me wrong, but I couldn't stand the affection.

"Great, you finally did something right." our boss said as we took our seats.

I could feel Jin fuming from beside me. I held her hand to keep her from saying something rash.

"So, what did you want to discuss?" I asked, hoping she'd quickly explain.

"Jacob, I'm assigning you both a special project. Project A.N." our boss said. "Or Project All Natural if you please."

I looked at Jin who seemed just as confused. We could understand all natural to mean only natural things, nothing man made. But what did that have to do with a project?

"Ma'am, could you... give us more detail?" asked Jin in her professional voice.

"I want you two to find designers who are making clothing made of pure nature." she said excitedly.

"Like, actual flowers and fungi...?" I asked slowly despite already knowing her answer.

"Precisely. Now, dismissed." she said before turning her attention to her laptop.

We walked out of her office in utter disbelief. She was out of her mind. Who in their right mind would make clothing straight out of nature without processing? How would they even hold up? I looked at Jin who ushered me along as we headed back downstairs.
