midnight.

In the room next to the man and woman who were arguing and cursing at each other, a young man stood quietly at the window, listening to the fierce quarrel coming from next door, his heart full of annoyance.

He tightened the backpack on his shoulder and cast his eyes towards the room full of noise and chaos for the last time.

His hands were trembling slightly and his brows were furrowed, as if he was saying a difficult farewell to the past.

Then, the boy resolutely opened the window, climbed out of the house swiftly, and rode the bicycle that had been prepared long ago. He pedaled hard, as if he wanted to leave all his troubles behind and disappear into the night.

"Hey Edward! Over here!!"

A clear and pleasant voice rang out in the silent night sky, like a ray of warm sunshine breaking through the darkness. Edward looked up and saw his girlfriend waving at him beside the black car.

His eyes lit up instantly and an indescribable joy surged in his heart.

“Coachella!”

Edward dropped his bike and ran towards the girl desperately.

His steps were quick and powerful, and every step was filled with longing and expectation for the future.

And Coachella ran towards him like a blooming flower, and the two hugged each other tightly, as if the whole world stopped at this moment.

They exchanged a passionate kiss, one full of teenage love.

After the intimacy, Coachella acted coquettishly to her boyfriend: "You made me wait for a long time."

The girl's deep blue eyes were full of attachment. She raised her chin slightly with a hint of anger in her eyes.

In Edward's eyes, Coachella's beautiful face was the most beautiful thing in the world, and he couldn't help but stare at her in a daze.

"Feel sorry."

Edward's sincere look stunned Coachella, then she lowered her eyes and shook her head gently.

"You don't have to apologize to me, Edward." As if thinking of something, Coachella looked at Edward, "Did they quarrel again?"

Edward nodded.

There was a flash of anxiety on Coachella's face and tears in her eyes. She pulled Edward up and down to look him up and down, as if to confirm whether he was injured. Her hands trembled slightly and her heart was full of worry.

Edward hugged Coachella, feeling her warmth and comfort.

"It's okay, I'm fine, I ran out when they were arguing."

Coachella was relieved, and she hugged Edward tightly back.

"That's fine, that's fine."

"Hey! How long are you going to stick together!" At this time, two men got out of the black car and urged them urgently: "Coachella, come here, let us see your boyfriend!!"

The men's tone was not friendly at all, and there was a hint of mockery and ill intent in their eyes.

Edward looked at Coachella and felt uneasy. Coachella's expression was unnatural for a moment, but she soon smiled and pulled Edward towards the car.

"who are they?"

Edward asked.

His eyes were full of confusion and vigilance. He didn't like the looks and tones of the two men.

"Oh ho ho!! Come on, Coachella tell your handsome little boyfriend who we are~" the man joked with a smile, their eyes lingering on Edward's face, making him feel uncomfortable.

Edward frowned, his uneasiness growing stronger.

Kochella glared at the two of them, opened the door of the back car, and got in with Edward. Her movements were a little hasty, as if she was avoiding something.

"Ignore them, they are...friends I know."

Coachella's voice was trembling, but Edward didn't notice.

Two men got in the car, one of them started the car, and the other turned on the stereo, and the sound of heavy metal music immediately drowned out the sound of Coachella.

The music was deafening and made Edward feel upset.

The car started, and the passenger lit a cigarette and held it in his mouth. He glanced at the two people's interlocked hands in the back seat and said in a frivolous tone: "Yes!! We are friends, good friends! Coachella, tell your boyfriend that he has to rely on us if he wants to live a good life in the future."

There was a hint of threat in the man's eyes, which made Coachella's heart tighten.

Edward always felt that there was some message hidden in this person's words. He looked at Coachella, who had been in a bad mood since getting in the car, and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

Edward's heart was filled with worry, he didn't understand why Coachella was so nervous and uneasy.

Coachella shook Edward's hand and smiled at him, but the smile seemed to hide sadness in the dark night.

"It's okay Edward, remember the job I told you about?"

"Of course I remember." Edward replied: "But will anyone really let us be models?"

Edward's heart was full of doubts. He didn't believe that there would be such a good thing in the world, but he believed in Coachella and wanted to be with the person he loved even more.

"..."

Coachella leaned on Edward's thin but hot chest and whispered in his ear: "They will take us to a place where we will make a lot of money. Although we will encounter some difficulties, as long as we are together, as long as we love each other and have each other, everything will be fine! Everything will be fine, right?! Right, Edward?"

Coachella got up from Edward, grabbed her boyfriend's hand, and repeated it over and over again.

"Yes! Yes it's gonna be alright, I promise! Coachella what's wrong with you?"

Edward was puzzled by his girlfriend's unusual behavior.

"Hahaha! Look at this young couple."

The man in the driver's seat stared at the boy and girl through the rearview mirror. He noticed the look Edward gave him. There was a hint of sarcasm and disdain in the man's eyes, which made Edward feel angry.

"Don't worry, you're not bad looking. You'll definitely be more popular in this industry than your girlfriend. As long as you don't cause trouble and don't think about quitting every day, you'll definitely become a 'big star'."

It sounded as if the man was comforting Edward, but Edward noticed that Coachella's body suddenly tensed up after hearing the word "big star".

Coachella didn't speak again along the way until the car gradually approached a place.

Edward noticed that it looked like a port.

While waiting for the traffic light, Coachella suddenly grabbed Edward's arm: "Edward, I love you, do you love me?"

Coachella's eyes were filled with fear and anxiety, she didn't know if her choice was right.

"what?"

Edward didn't hear what Coachella said.

"Answer me, Edward, answer me!"

The girl's voice trembled slightly, and she was eager to get an answer.

"Of course, I love you Coachella, you are my light! My everything! The person I love most in my life." Edward comforted the other person clumsily, his eyes full of determination and love.

"The one you love the most?" Kochera pursed her lips, her voice drowned out by the noisy music. "Don't you love your mother?"

Edward shrugged, and he answered in a very relaxed tone: "You know my mom and I don't have a good relationship, but her boyfriend wants to be friends with me so badly... I don't want to live in that house because it will only cause her and him to quarrel."

Kochella's eyes widened. She seemed to understand why her boyfriend ran away from home and chose to start a business with her, whom he had only known for a week.

"sorry."

"what?"

Suddenly, Coachella, like crazy, jumped over Edward's body to open the door on his side, and pushed Edward out of the car while the two people in front didn't react.

"Run! Edward!! Run!!"

Edward, who had fallen to the ground, got up. He didn't understand why his girlfriend suddenly seemed like a different person.

“Coachella what do you do??”

"I lied to you Edward! I'm sorry!! Run!! They are human traffickers!!!" Coachella shouted loudly in an almost roaring tone, hoping that Edward could escape from their clutches.

"Damn bitch!" the man in the passenger seat yelled, grabbed Coachella's hair and punched her, his eyes filled with anger and cruelty.

The man driving the car had already gotten out and was rushing towards Edward.

Edward heard what Coachella said and understood what she meant, but when he saw his girlfriend being beaten, he did not choose to run away but clenched his fists and swung at the man who grabbed him.

Edward's heart was filled with anger and determination, he couldn't let Coachella get hurt.

How naive, how overconfident he was. How could a skinny teenager compete with a strong professional thug? Before he could even fight a few times, Edward was knocked unconscious by the man.

When the boy opened his eyes again, he found that his hands were tied and Coachella, with blood all over his face, was holding him tightly. They were on a speeding passenger ship.

Edward's heart was filled with fear and anxiety, he didn't know what was waiting for him.

"As long as we're together, everything will be fine. Everything will be fine Edward, believe me."

“Wow….Sorry….Sorry…”

'Girlfriend's' tears mixed with blood dripped down the corners of Edward's lips.

He opened his mouth to comfort the other person, but tasted that tear instead.

So bitter....

After an unknown amount of time, Edward felt the boat stop.

The two men pushed Edward and Coachella off the boat, and a small island full of green plants appeared in front of Edward.

The island was so large that you couldn't see the end of it, but Edward could still see countless exquisite villas, swimming pools, golf courses, and high-end exhibition stand-like furnishings.

"Snapped."

The man behind him slapped Edward on the head rudely.

The other party looked at Edward with malicious eyes and laughed, "Don't look at it, you won't be able to get down if you stand on it next time, hahaha!!"

Edward felt dizzy, as if all the strength in his body had run away because of the fear of the unknown.

Suddenly, he saw a figure standing on the roof of a villa in the distance.

The person was wearing white clothes and judging by her figure...she looked like a woman.

Edward wanted to see more clearly, but the person behind him pushed him impatiently. Edward staggered and almost fell to the ground. In the blink of an eye, a flash of red passed by. When he stood firm, the figure on the roof had disappeared.

"Go quickly!!"

After being punched twice by the man, Edward, with the help of Coachella, was locked up in a warehouse-like room where there were many teenagers in the same situation as them.

After Coachella's confession, Edward realized that they were all deceived into going to the island. At the beginning, there were only a few people, but under the threat of those evil people, the boys and girls had to go out and recruit people to the island. At first, they deceived their friends and classmates, and then they started looking for targets to deceive online.

Just like a spider napping in the corner of the room, those people made them fall into a big web that had been prepared long ago without them realizing it.

Edward closed his eyes in despair, he held Coachella's hand and hugged each other tightly as before.

But he knew that everything was different.

Amid the muted sobbing, no one noticed

The spider that built its nest in the corner is now...

Missed.
