They (one of many)

They

"They are why I'm here. They are why people go to bed at night and fear the closed closet door. They are the complete answer to life. They walk among us and bring fear to those who see them."

The Beginning:

The damn rain wouldn't quit its been a week since I seen the sun. The rain drops danced off the Korean bricks as the drops hit them. I was walking outside down Gangnam Street. The only thing about the rain that's good is that the night was lit up in a neon paradise. The smell of food and sound of music never stops. I came to an intersection and the light turned red. I waited at the side of the road waiting for the little man to come so I could continue my journey. I had been in Korea for awhile and was thinking of seeing a new place. The time was right as they were almost wiped out and tonight they would be gone from the peninsula. The little man showed his self and I walked across the eight lane road. The amount of traffic was fair the German cars littered the roadside with a few Korean models that's Gangnam for you. Wealth was everywhere and that's what they like. They take wealth and riches while committing there acts among us. Some call them vampires, werewolves and even paranormal beings but I know what they are. They are everything. Nothing that goes bump in the night is not they. They however love to just be integrated into the population and play with us. They will not stop and can't easily be distinguished. I didn't know about they until I was in my early twenties and came across they and took my first assignment to find they.

--I was in university just hanging out alone at night in the university computer lab that was open 24/7 even on holidays. I had nothing outside school and had gone down the rabbit hole a few times and gotten into the life of coding and white hacking. That night I discovered a site that locked my personal computer and lead me to those who deal with they. It was the moment that changed my life forever and made me change my life plan. I was taken to a chatroom that opened my camera and controlled the CCTV cameras placed in the computer lab. I was shown everything I know that night and was visited by another one of us. He was interested in how I found the site and how one could be in a computer room so late alone. He had a good long talk with me which fed into my thoughts and my love for the unknown. I was always interested in aliens and the paranormal even as a child. They were everything I ever wanted. I listened to him and decided to take the step and believe everything that went against science and logic.--

The yelling of a Korean man snapped me out of it. I was approaching the spot where they were. It was a new hip bar that was bustling. I went inside the smell of soju and smoke was overwhelming and the patrons were all enjoying there buzzes. I went to the bar and got a virgin rum and coke. They were right there just enjoying the company of unsuspecting rich kids just wanting to enjoy the night. I would wait as they did not know me and I was not known to they. I had a few rounds before the got up and left alone. I got up and followed they to the door and they did not know anything about me. They turned around and smiled. I knew the game but they did not know. They asked if I would like a couple rounds at another place down in the older part of Seoul. I agreed they would not turn down drinks and would try to take me when I was vulnerable.

We walked to a taxi stop and caught a ride to Jongno district. They talked about his life and how they liked to show foreigners the areas around Seoul and to treat us when every they could. I knew the game and how to play it. The taxi stopped and I got out with they. I went down the back alley to an older style hole in the wall dive bar. The place was almost empty I ordered a full rum and coke and they ordered a light beer. We talked about the Korean countryside and the differences between my home country. After my drink I said that I wanted to leave and to have a good night. I know they would not let me leave without the game. They said they would walk me home as I got up they wanted me to see one more thing that most people have never seen before. I went along and they took me down another back alley which I knew had no CCTV. I walked behind they and went into his place. The place was bare as I knew they did not need anything in their residences as they rarely were there. I took of the last they and exited the place. I had completed my assignment in Korea and was about to enjoy a few months before my next assignment.

As I walked down the alley the rain stopped and I could feel that the next few days would be quite sunny.
