Let me introduce myself. My name is Choi Seung Hyun, i'm a korean orphan and i'm 26 years old. I grew up in an orphanage near a mountain. This is where my passion for climbing began. The higher the better.  Anyway i'm here to tell you about my story.  One of the most strange story you will ever read. I know you won't believe me but that really happened.

It all began in august. I was walking down the streets of Seoul, coming back home. I was a bit frustrated, it had been 3 weeks since I  have climbed a cliff. It was just too much for me. But well, I couldn't win against money. No money, no cliff. I sighted and walked by a book store when I noticed a newspaper's headline saying :" The cursed cliff killed its 10th man". I looked around. It was the last one, I have to take it. Everything that is about cliffs is concerning me. I bought the newspaper and walked to my house. On my way, I smiled at everyone. Even thought it had been a while since the last time I climbed a cliff, I liked my neightboors. They were really kind. Moreover, it was a shinning day. I just can't be upset or mad during a shining day. I noticed a little guy crying. I went to him and asked him what was wrong. He explained that he ice cream fell on the ground and that he didn't have money enough to buy another one. I pat in my pocket and noticed that I still had some money. I asked him if he wanted me to buy another ice cream. He nodded fast. I laughed and held his hand as we were walking toward an ice cream shop. I bought him one and he happily walked back while waving at me. I smiled at him. Kids are just so cute. After that, I walked back to my tenement. Once at home, I took off my shoes and went to the living room. I sat on the sofa and read the newspaper.. I had never heard about this cliff before. It is localized in Texas. According to the newspaper, nobody ever succeed climbing this cliff. I raised an eyebrow. How could it possible that nobody ever succeed in climbing it? I put the newspaper on the coffee table . I went in the kitchen to make some coffee when I heard someone knocking on my door. I didn't have the time to move that the person was already in my living room.

-"Yo ! bingu TOP! Where are you?"

I heard three different voices. Well, that person ended up to be 3 people. Oh and bingu T.O.P is my nickname. I don't even know where that came from but they have been calling me like that for years now so.. it doesn't matter anymore. I sighed and walked back to the living room. I sat back on my sofa. I have known those three boys for about 10 years, maybe more. Since the first time I met them, we immediately became friends. Just like that. Except these three brat, I don't have any friends. They always come here at noon and act like they were in their own home. Not that it bothers me but... Sometimes I just want to be alone you know... Moreover, they could be very annoying. I can't count the number of glasses they broke here while playing. I sighted and smirked a bit. Sometimes they looked like children. First there is Dong Young Bae also known as Taeyang. He is short but really cheering. He is quite good looking with his little eyes and he is an amazing dancer. Next we have Kang Dae Sung. He is really strange. I mean he is the only one I know who can be the hottest guy in the world then the ugliest one within a second. But he is an awesome friend. Always there when you need him, even thought he is the clumsier of all of us.. Eventually, Lee Seung Hyeon, nicknamed seungri or panda. Indeed he has those dark circles that reminds you of a panda From as far as I remember, He even had them ten years ago.. He is the youngest of us. And he knows how to use that fact. He always ask us to buy him sweets. We try to resist but in the end we always fail. I messed his hair. He looked at me and asked what was wrong with me. I just smiled without answering him. I glanced at Daesung. He had the news paper in his hand. He opened his eyes wide and looked at me.

-"Naaaaah, you won't do that right?"

The others looked at him without understand. I sighed and took the news paper away from him. i hated the fact that they always touch everything like that. The other got curious and seungri took the news paper away from me. He read it with Taeyang. They stared at the paper, then at me, then at the paper, then at me again. They asked me if I was serious. I smirked. Of course I was ! There's not cliff that ever resist me. It's not that one with that nickname that will scared me. I added that it had been such a long time since I last climbed a cliff that my legs are starting to hurt me. Seungri reminded me the Cliff's nickname and said that it was really dangerous. He knew that I was strong and afraid of nothing, but it' was no joke and I really can die. I sighed again and messed his hair. I thanked him for worrying about me and reassured him. It's not the first time that I'm climbing a cliff. I am aware of the risks i'm taking but cliffs are like drugs to me. Taeyang said that ten people already died and that he didn't want me to climb it. He was more afraid that I was. I reassured him too saying that I would be careful and that he didn't have to worry about me. As they were insisting on me not going there, I got a bit angry and asked to respect my choice. I know that they weren't really calm with me climbing that cliff but cliff is my passion. I have to climb some. It like a need. Everyone sighed but finally agreed to let me go. Anyway, I would have gone there even if they didn't agree. Nobody can stop me from climbing cliffs. We spent quite a time talking about some girls idols. We noticed that Taeyang wasn't really into it. It must be because of his new girlfriend. We ended up talking about Taeyang's new girlfriend. Her name was Minji or minzi, I can't recall. She was a dance teacher in our compagny. I don't tink I had already seen her. I must say that I don't really go out of my little office. Anyway, I'm happy for him. From what he told us she came to the agency some monthes ago. I hope they will last long. After two hours of talking, the guys finally went back to their house. I was finally alone at my house. I took the newspaper again and walked to the kitchen. The cursed cliff right? Tsk... It's just that those people who climbed it didn't know how to take you. I put it down next to the oven and started to prepare my dinner.  Well, i had only rice and a piece of meat to eat. Looks like I have to pass by the store tomorrow. I sighed, I should look at what I have more often. One day I even couldn't eat because I forgot to buy something to eat. So I went to Taeyang's house and invited myself. It wouldn't have bothered him if it wasn't at one am. I glanced at the news paper. I love to climb cliffs but sometimes they're far away and all my money is used in the flights tickets. I sighed again. Living his passion is really hard. While the rice and the meat were cooking, I studied the article more carefully.  Apparently, this cliff was discovered in 1880. It was this late because it's far in the land, and Texas is a large state. Nobody knows how many meters high the cliff is. Around a hundred people tried to climb it but 89 gave up in the first 30 meters and 10 died trying to climb it until the top. Only one person succeed climbing the cursed cliff but he or she remains disappeared. Something was bothering me.  Why does the only one who succeeded disappeared? Is this cliff that dangerous? And they said that the corpses had holes. How is it even possible? I mean they were 30 meters above the ground and there are no mountains around.. So if there were any snipers or something like that, they couldn't shot them. Maybe it's some super natural people.. You know, like X-men and all. I chuckled at my thoughts. How could it be possible? That kind of supernatural things don't exist. Lost in my thoughts, i completely forgot about my rice and meat....both overcooked. I wanted to scream. Why don't I ever pay attention????? I sighed for about the hundred time today. Well I think I still have some crisps and bread left. That will do. I walked to my living room and sat on the sofa. I started to eat hungrily. After finishing the meal, I went my bedroom and jumped on my bed. I was just too tired to do anything else. I closed my eyes and fell asleep.

It was 5:30 am when my alarm clock rang. I hardly got up and walked to my bathroom. I washed my face and looked at me in the mirror. Well, i'm quite well-built right? Proud of my body, I went into the bathtub and started showering. The hot water going down on my shoulder finished to wake up slowly. After 10 minutes i got out and dried myself. I dressed up and went back to my bedroom. My bed was calling me..."come back !come back!". Sorry bro but i need to eat. I quickly grabbed something to eat and ran downstairs. The cold wind my face. I put up my scarf on my nose and went to my work.  I worked for entertainments buildings as song writer. It is quite well paid, especially since i wrote for some famous singers like BoA, 2pm or Lee hyori.  I had to go there this early because i forgot to finish to write a song. I didn't want to be scold so I went there early. I walked fast in my little bureau and started to write the song. It was for a new band who will debut soon... Got7 I think?.

Normally it would take me only 30 minutes to write a song but for this one , I wrote it in 3 hours. My mind was only filled with this cliff. I really have to go there. I love cliffs , but it was the first time that one had attracted me like that. I looked at my watch... 9:20 am. It's time for me to show this to the boss. I stood up and walked out of my room when I noticed Taeyang. Right, I forgot to say that he was a dance teacher... Daesung and seungri are both sing teachers. I waved at him and made him understand that I didn't have the time to talk since i was in hurry.

I knocked on the boss's door. I waited him to allow me and came in. I showed him the song and he loved it. He complimented me for the lyrics, saying that it was an excellent song for a debut, fresh,cool and so on.. I bowed and came out. Now that my work is finished I will be able to climb that cliff. I was about to enter in the dance room when I saw Taeyang kissing a girl. She had short blue hair and was a bit more little than Taeyang. I scratched my throat.

-"Ehem...."

Both of them startled. I couldn't help but laugh at their face. I walked in and greeted them.

-"So it's that famous Minzi" I said

-"Famous?" she asked looking at Taeyang

-"Yeah, yesterday he kept on talking about you for about 2 hours. Saing how pretty you were, how good at dancing you were... Listening to him you are a god..."
I couldn't finish my sentence that Taeyang's hands were on my mouth, prevented me from talking. He was as red as a tomato. His reaction made me and Minzi laughed. We ended the morning with dancing. They tried to learn me some step but I couldn't hold myself and did some stupid things.. Mmmh, that may be where that "bingu" part of my nickname came from. I always do stupid things. But hey , I can't help it!

I had to leave them because they had afternoon classes. Since my work was finished, I went to the food store. I walked in the store looking for something good. I couldn't decide what to take so I took the usual, rice, meat and bananas. The cashier  scold me about the fact that I always buy the same things and that it was unhealthy. My friends said that she has a crush on my but I don't think so. The only things she does is nagging about my health. I paid all and walked back home. Now that i think of it, I never had a girlfriend. I guess i'm waiting for THE girl. My princess that will rule my world.. I entered in my building and checked if the lift was repaired or not. Of course not. It's a little tenement so...  Well I lived in the 6th floor. But I don't care, it will keep up my health right? So I climbed the stairs until the 6th floor and walked in my apartment .I stored what I bought in the kitchen and the computer. I prepared a cup of coffee and took the newspaper from yesterday. Here we go cursed cliff. I checked my bank account. Indeed, i get paid for every song I write. This time I wrote the album so I have quite a lot of money. Then I bought a ticket online for Texas. I will be leaving tomorrow. I had to hurry. I took my suitcase and packed everything that would be needed :ropes, nails, pickaxe... and so on. Then in a second suitcase I packed some clothes. Now i'm ready. I took my phone and sent a text to my friends , that i will be leaving tomorrow. I looked at the time. 2:45pm. Okay, i still have the time to go change the money.

When i came back home with dollars, I was so excited.  The idea of climbing this cliff gave me butterfly in my stomach. That night I hardly slept because of the excitement . My fly was at 9am. It was 7am when I left home and got in my car. Well, better be early than late. I started to drive toward Icheon airport when i thought about the cliff and about how many people didn't succeed. Why did he/she disappear? That really bothered me. I arrived at the airport a hour early. I put my earphones on and listened to music until I got called for my fly. There were almost only Americans in the plane. I felt like a stranger. An old man was sitting next to me and we started to talk. I blessed God not to have slept during English lessons. He told me that his father fought during the Koreas war and died there. That was why every year he comes here and travelled in the country. He said that it was one of the nicest country he ever seen. That made me smile. He says that because he is a stranger. But if you have lived in this country for ever and often travelled over the world, you realize that Korea isn't such a nice country. In the conversation, I told him about my will to climb the cursed cliff.  He looked at me strangely and only told me this :

-"There are things that must stay undiscovered"

After that we didn't talk again. 

When we arrived in The airport, I looked for my friend who would drive me to that cliff. I looked everywhere but couldn't see him. I walked outside and found a payphone. I dialed his number.

-"Hey bro where are you? i'm outside the airport now."

-"Sorry but I caught a cold. Seems like you will have to cope."

He hung up. I couldn't believe this. I have to cope? how am I suppose to do that? I know nobody here. I sighed and messed my hair. Suddenly I felt a hand on my shoulder. I immediately grabbed it and did a judo hold. When I looked who was I holding, I let him go and helped him standing up while apologizing. It was the old man. After saying that he was fine, he asked me to follow him, which I did. He led me to his car and opened the front door for me. I looked at him suspiciously. He sighed and took my suitcases from me and placed them at the backseat. I guess I have no choice. I sat on the front sit and put my belt on. The old man also sat and started his car. We drove in silent for about 30 minutes before he began to talk.

-"Do you really want to climb it?" he asked me

-" Of course I do. Since i'm little I climb cliffs and it's not a so-said "cursed" cliff that will stop me" I answered

-"You're confident for a guy who knows nothing about this cliff. I did climb it. Yeah i'm the only one who succeed climbing it. And what did I win? I had to change my name , change states, i have to travelled a lot , always moving not to be caught."

I looked at him with wide eyes. What is he talking about? is he drunk?

-"Caught by who?"

-"How could I know? Let me tell you another thing, it's not the cliff that killed those man or made the other giving up."

Before I could ask anything else, he parked the car and asked me to get down.

-"Let your clothes' suitcase here.. i'll put them on the hotel you booked. Now go" he said

Then he left me.. just like that. Wait, how did he know which hotel i booked? Something is really strange about him. Especially his scar on the side of his left eye.... Well... I have to go now. I turned myself and saw a huge and tall cliff just in front of me. So there it is. I walked at to the bottom of the cliff and prepared myself.  I got more excited and more excited as i got ready to climb. Before I climbed, and checked if everything was okay.

-"Now it's just the two of us babe"

I said before I started to climb. This cliff was a pure delight to climb. The rock was soft, I had a lot of hold. As I was climbing, I began to wonder why those people had such difficulties to climb it. It's just one of the easiest cliff I ever climbed ! I was in the 30 meters when I heard a loud "BANG" and rock next to my hand exploded in pieces.

-"Wow, what was that?"

I heard another "Bang" and this time it was the rock near my feet that exploded. I took me two more "BANG" and one near my head to understand that someone was shooting me. What the hell? Another "BANG" but this one touched my cheek. It was just a scratch but I could feel that the shot was coming neared to me. I took off my ropes and began to climb as fast as I can. I could hear 3bang"s non-stop.  Some scratched me. I could feel the rock around me exploded. My heart beat so fast. I wanted adrenalin, well, now i'm served. I kept on climbing when a shot touched my left ankle. I screamed in pain. Keep climbing.. I have to keep climbing. I put all my power together and keep on climbing. "BANG" my right arm... Someone, please... As I kept on climbing, i could feel my blood flooding away from my body.. I could only climb slowly. I was ready to give up and jump to get rid of the pain when I saw a sort of platform 3 meter ahead of me. I didn't think twice and climbed as fast as I could there. The "Bangs" were more and more recurrent. I don't know how but i managed to climb on the platform. I looked in front of my. Although it was really dark, i could see that it was a cave. Without thinking, I walked in the cave. I was limping and squeezing my right arm. The pain was unbearable. I sat down on a rock and waited for emptying of my blood. Now I understand why they gave up and why they died. That also explained the strange scar on the old man's face. I put my head backward and began to cry. Why didn't i listened to them? Why did i want to climb this cliff? Now i will die alone. What did i do to deserve this? I don't deserve this. While i was crying, a light blue light got my attention. It was around 10 meters further. I stood up as i could and limped toward this blue light.

It was a room in the cave. The light was beautiful. This room was beautiful. Like a crystal room in a cave. I looked on my right and saw water. I limped to it and drank. Even the water is beautiful. The rock was purple and light pink. There were some rock stalagmite and rock stalactite. I couldn't believe my eyes. What a mighty place.. I myself, looking for what made the blue light when i stopped, stunned.

There was a huge block of blue rock, maybe ice. When I say huge, I mean it. It took a half of the room's surface and was as high as the room was. But what stunned me the most was him. A boy trapped into this blue thing. He had wings... I couldn't believe my eyes once again. An angel? a real one? here? why? Wait, was that that thing that must not be discovered? Is that why i was being shot?.... Wait a minute... I looked at my wounded arm and ankle. It stopped bleeding and the pain is gone. What the hell is this place? I walked toward the trapped boy and touch the thing he was trapped in. It is cold, so it is ice. But it really looked like a transparent rock. Strange. I don't want any problem. I'll just leave. I walked back when i heard a loud "Krrrrrrrr". I turned toward the ice and my eyes opened wide. The ice was cracking! The ice was collapsing! what should i do? Before i could think of anything , the whole ice disappeared in a "BOOM". Where was the ice? how could it disappear like that? It was here a second ago? While I was panicking, i heard a small, shy but clear voice.

-"...who are you?"

The angel...
