Chapter 72:

“Wow!”

The place where Avi arrived after leaving Seoul was a pension in Gangwon-do.

Jo Tae-woong spoke to the camera installed in the corner.

“Do we get to use this whole place?”

“Wow! Amazing! There’s a swimming pool here!”

Kim Hyun shouted and Jo Tae-woong ran over. It was not just a pension, but a detached house with an indoor pool.

“How’s the water?”

“It’s warm. Do you think we can go in?”

The production team must have contacted them in advance, because the pool was full of water. It even had hot water.

“Oh, is this a barbecue place?”

Three sides of the indoor pool were transparent like a vinyl house, and when they went out through the door on the side of the vinyl house, there was a grill and wooden table and chairs for grilling meat.

“They got us such a nice place to stay? Why?”

Jo Tae-woong looked around the living room with half excitement and half doubt. There were cameras installed everywhere he looked.

“Oh, what’s this? The fridge is full?”

“What should we eat?”

Ian and Kim Joo-young opened the fridge and looked inside. Park Jin-hyuk followed them into the kitchen and pulled his head back, making two chins.

“What about the food we ate at the rest area?”

“That was just an appetizer, right hyung?”

“Let’s eat after we go to the pool. Cup noodles taste so good after playing in the water.”

“That’s true.”

There were also plenty of entertainment items, such as board games and karaoke machines.

The members excitedly explored the place.

Kim Hyun brought a blanket from the room and spread it on the living room floor.

“The real deal is to lie down on the blanket in the living room.”

“Wow, you know how to have fun, huh?”

Park Jin-hyuk chuckled.

Park Seo-dam helped Kim Hyun spread the blanket and immediately lay down.

“But we don’t have swimsuits, what do we do?”

“I brought some shorts, isn’t that enough?”

“When did you pack them, hyung?”

“Wait, let’s do this first. Thank you for the production support.”

Ian drank a sip of an ion drink with the logo visible in front of the camera.

He lay down next to Park Seo-dam.

“I grabbed whatever I saw on the laundry rack. Just in case.”

“As expected, you’re a shaman.”

Ian didn’t have to tell Jin to check what the production team was doing.

He had a feeling that the group’s reality shooting would be like this.

Just let them be free and show their chemistry with each other.

Reality shows were mostly watched by fans anyway.

“Are we all going to the pool?”

He was glad he brought them just in case. Ian took out some clothes from a large Boston bag.

The members quickly changed their pants and took off their tops.

Park Jin-hyuk dived into the pool.

“Ah, hyung!”

“The water splashed everywhere!”

Kim Hyun also dived in, followed by the other members. Avi laughed happily and splashed water at each other.

“Let’s play water polo.”

Kim Joo-young got a beach ball from the corner of the pool and floated it on the water.

All the members rushed to the beach ball.

They wrestled with each other in the water.

“I swallowed some water!”

“Who pushed me? Come out. I’ll spare your life.”

Avi was busy even in the new year.

He had to memorize the lyrics he had rewritten for the album to be released in Japan, study Japanese, and prepare for the comeback in between.

Even though they had a day off because of a conflict with Nnet, they had music shows every day except Thursday.

They finished their music show activities and finally had a moment to have fun together. Everything was fun.

“...What?”

Jo Tae-woong, who was resting after playing in the water, looked outside and said.

His voice was trembling with horror.

“What’s wrong?”

“There’s someone out there.”

“Who?”

The members looked at where Jo Tae-woong pointed, but there was nothing.

The sun was setting and it was hard to see.

“Hey, why are you scaring us?”

“No, I really saw something!”

“You must have seen it wrong. Was it a deer?”

“What? No food...? No way!”

Kim Hyun covered his mouth with both hands and made a sound.

(By the way, tomorrow’s breakfast is Korean beef.)

“We can do it!”

The members shouted with increased fighting spirit at the mention of Korean beef, even though they had meat for dinner.

(You have to find the map that the production team hid in the living room and kitchen of the pension, and go to the designated place marked on the map.)

The members looked around. Lee Juhyuk took out his phone from his pants and turned on the flashlight.

“They must have been hiding the map when they said they were cleaning up earlier. How about three of us who are the same age look in the kitchen and the rest look here?”

“Yes, hyung.”

The other members also turned on their flashlights one by one. They followed Lee Juhyuk’s instructions and searched for the map.

“Waaah!”

Kim Juyeong, who was looking inside the middle cabinet in the kitchen, stumbled back and fell with a thud.

As soon as he opened the door, a small amount of flour bomb flew out with a firecracker sound.

“Are you okay, Juyeong?”

“Ouch... I hurt my butt.”

Kim Juyeong smiled bitterly as he got up with Lee Juhyuk’s help.

“There are traps too?”

“When did they set this up?”

“PD-nim, you’re really scary!”

Ian, who was about to open another cabinet next to him, stopped in his tracks. His pupils were trembling nonstop.

“What do I do?”

“Ian, open that one. There must be a map in the cabinet since there’s a trap.”

Jo Taewoong chuckled. Ian opened the cabinet door and ran away to the living room. Park Jinhyuk and Park Seodam also followed him. There was no firecracker sound.

“Cowards.”

“I’m really weak at this kind of stuff.”

“Really?”

Park Jinhyuk made a crying sound and Jo Taewoong smiled slyly and looked inside the open cabinet.

“There’s a map!”

“Wow!”

The members gathered around Jo Taewoong.

The pension was located on a small hill, and the map said to go to a small supermarket at the entrance of the hill.

“Did anyone pay attention to the road when we came in here?”

“Weren’t we all sleeping?”

“I think I know. I didn’t sleep then.”

Park Seodam raised his hand.

“Maknae!”

“Ah, get off me!”

The members hugged Park Seodam with emotion. Park Seodam struggled.

They found the map, and they put on thick clothes to withstand the cold outside.

The members nodded at each other with their hoods on.

“Let’s survive. Let’s get there on time and eat Korean beef tomorrow.”

“Don’t run off by yourself.”

The members who made up their minds went to the front door of the pension and opened it.

The doorknob turned in vain.

“The door is locked?”

“How can they lock it from inside?”

“Is there a lock?”

They tried to open the doorknob continuously but it was firmly locked.

Jo Taewoong, who was looking for another exit, pointed to the pool side.

“We have to go that way, I guess.”

“Ah, that place looks creepy.”

The only exit that opened was the barbecue place where Jo Taewoong and Park Jinhyuk saw something.

“What could go wrong...?”

Ian bravely stepped forward.

The members behind him followed him closely. They opened the door of the barbecue place and went outside.

There was a desolate field.

“Hey, I’m really scared, what if something comes out?”

Kim Juyeong, who was clinging to Ian’s back, looked around.

Ian checked the place where Jo Taewoong and Park Jinhyuk saw something.

“Hey, Taewoong, is that what you saw over there?”

“Yeah, over there.”

“There’s nothing over there...”

They couldn’t see anything even after looking closely, and when they were relieved,

“Aaaah!”

From the opposite side, a person with long black hair and a white hanbok jumped out and screamed, running towards them with a scary face!

“Aaaah!”

“Run!”

“There! There’s a road over there!”
