The End of the Trip

We had a simple lunch and continued touring around attractions.

We walked along the Danyanggang Boardwalk while looking at the autumn foliage, and visited Dodamsambong, famous as one of the Eight Scenic Spots of Danyang, and Ondal Cave, which is said to have formed 450 million years ago.

In the meantime, I got a call from the lawyer saying the man who took secret photos admitted to all charges and asked for leniency.

Not wanting to ruin the good mood of the trip, I just said I understood.

Well, he probably can’t avoid punishment now that the criminal charges have been proven.

As we went around various tourist spots like that, the surroundings were already getting dark.

It’s time to move to Jecheon now.

Just like in Danyang, we booked a luxurious resort here too.

Remembering my threat, the two quietly unpack in the bedroom.

It seems I’ll be able to sleep comfortably tonight.

“We still have some time left, should we all have a light drink?”

“Me too?”

“Of course Yerin gets a soft drink.”

“Tch……”

Ignoring Yerin puffing her cheeks, I chose two cans of beer and suitable snacks from the convenience store in the resort.

Since we had a big barbecue dinner at the resort, our stomachs were full and this amount seems just right.

We turn on a variety show that we can laugh at mindlessly, gather around the table in a circle, and each take a sip from our cups.

Yerin has a slightly sulky expression because she’s the only one with a soft drink.

Finding her pouty look cute, I lightly poke her cheek with my index finger.

“Unnie!”

She’s surprised but soon smiles brightly.

Seeing that, I lightly flick Mia on the forehead as she looks at me with expectant eyes from across.

“Ow! Unnie, that’s too much!”

Starting with light jokes, we shared various stories.

Why they were so nice to me from the beginning.

“It wasn’t like that from the start. Just watching your broadcasts… I gradually came to feel that unnie is really a good person.”

“I thought that from the beginning.”

“Hm? Mia? Didn’t you dislike me at first?”

“……”

The love talk that usually comes up when women gather.

“Are you really not in any kind of relationship with Lark?”

“I’m telling you we’re just like close siblings. I’ve never thought of Lark oppa as a man.”

“Then Yerin, do you perhaps have a boy you like……”

“No!”

I also asked about some sensitive topics.

“Yerin, you don’t have to answer if you don’t want to, but are your parents perhaps chaebols or something?”

“Not to that extent, but we are well-off. My mother runs a fashion-related business in France and my father does trade-related work, and they both work hard.”

“I-I see.”

Well, asking any more would be rude, so let’s leave it at that.

Conversely, questions poured towards me too.

“Unnie, how many times have you dated?”

“Um… maybe about twice?”

Crack-!

“Huh? What was that sound?”

For a moment I heard a very creepy noise from somewhere, but I don’t know where.

I instinctively looked towards Yerin, but she was smiling brightly.

Did I mishear?

“You didn’t perhaps cross ‘the line’, did you? Right?”

“Oh my! Mia, who told you to smile so lewdly.”

I gave her another forehead flick.

Ahem! It’s not that I don’t have experience, but I’ve never done it in a woman’s body, so… s-safe?

Anyway, it was an enjoyable girls’ talk time.

When bedtime came, we cleaned up and lay down on the bed.

Yerin had eyes dripping with lingering attachment, but I deliberately ignored it.

Don’t you know the quality of sleep is the quality of life?

Hm? I want to sleep deeply as much as I couldn’t yesterday.

It was a sweet time heading to dreamland.

---

An inexplicable uneasiness.

Thinking about it, its identity was the viewers.

I said I’d turn on mobile broadcasts a little bit while on the trip, but I completely forgot.

I checked the broadcasting station’s bulletin board in the morning, and sure enough, it was on fire.

“I’ll help you.”

“Thanks.”

Mia volunteered to be the cameraman.

When I turned on the broadcast, viewers started spamming the chat with “hell”.

-Is there a BJ who throws away promises with viewers like old shoes as soon as she goes on a trip?

-Just write ㄹㅇㅋㅋ (for real lol).

-Evil BJ Hani, wake up! Keep your promises with viewers!

“I-I’m sorry. But I turned it on like this now. Instead, though it’s not much of a substitute, I’ll keep it on for a long time today.”

-My thumb goes up involuntarily at Hani’s shamelessness.

-ㅋㅋㅋ You think we’ll be pacified with just that? Let’s go straight to full villa bikini.

-But where did you go? You can tell us now, right?

“That’s right. Yesterday was Danyang and now we’re in Jecheon. Everyone, come visit here. There’s a lot to see and enjoy.”

-Enjoy? Can we enjoy together?

-You’ll get blacklisted for saying that above ㅋㅋㅋ

-If it’s Danyang, did you go around the Eight Scenic Spots of Danyang?

-That’s old, don’t people go to Mancheonha Skywalk a lot these days?

“Yes. We went there. We also went to Ondal Cave and Dodamsambong.”

Leaving out the potentially sensitive hidden camera story, I shared various stories from the trip.

“I rode something similar to a zip line in the military. Though that one had much flimsier safety equipment.”

-ㅋㅋㅋ How long are you going to keep the military service concept?

-For real, Hani might be a military-discharged high school girl in another world…

-I can’t follow the teacher’s extreme way of thinking.

I chatted with viewers while checking out.

The driver and vehicle waiting without fail.

Then suddenly viewers start exploding with anger.

-Don’t tell me it’s a boyfriend? You have a boyfriend?

-Whose vehicle is that? And who’s the driver!

-Noona please say it’s not. Noona please say it’s not. Noona please say it’s not.

“……”

They’ve become quite spicy viewers even though it’s only been a day of not seeing them.

Or are they feeling anxious about the openness of the travel destination?

Anyway, when Yerin stepped up to explain directly, public opinion soon calmed down.

-As expected, the class of the special member who swept the 3 titles of golden hands, golden spoon, and high school girl ㄷㄷ;;

-Mom, when I’m reborn I want to be a high school girl!

-ㅋㅋㅋ I’m dizzy.

On the way, we stopped by a bakery for a simple breakfast and headed to the canoe kayak experience center at Cheongpung Lake in Jecheon.

“Uh……”

“Unnie!”

“Unnie, with me!”

When we tried to ride the canoe, it was a 2-person structure.

We had no choice but to include the driver, and decided to use rock-paper-scissors, the traditional team formation method passed down since ancient times.

“Ah!”

“……”

Yerin and Mia with very shocked expressions.

The two kids’ palms were facing the sky, while mine and the driver’s palms were facing the ground.

“We promised no complaints. Take good pictures instead.”

I soothed the two kids well and received basic training and safety education for riding canoes.

At first, I had never done it before so I felt vague and a bit afraid, but after sitting down while maintaining balance and paddling a few times, I got the hang of it and was able to enjoy it.

“Unnie! Look this way!”

Click, click-!

Mia and Yerin transformed into full-fledged professional photographers.

They busily run around our team’s canoe taking pictures enthusiastically.

“Alright, we’ll move this way.”

Then the instructor appeared on a motorboat and guided people in one direction.

We pass under Oksun Bridge and leisurely pass by the seemingly sheer cliff area of Geumsusan Mountain while admiring it.

“I’ll turn on the broadcast for a bit.”

“Okay.”

The driver silently paddles diligently.

Since it’s the national rule for lighter people to sit in front, I was able to share the wide open view ahead and the beautiful surrounding scenery with viewers.

“How is it? It’s really nice, right? Don’t just scratch your bellies in front of computers playing games all day, go out and wander around sometimes too.”

-Stop the fact violence!

-From what I know, this is your first trip in nearly half a year too, teacher. Are you ‘deceiving’ us now?

-For real, let’s not do this among fellow loners.

I did broadcasts intermittently while going around the entire course that takes a little over 30 minutes.

“Thank you for your hard work paddling.”

“It’s nothing.”

Getting off the canoe, a slight stiffness comes over my arms.

It seems the aftermath is coming from overworking muscles I don’t usually use.

We returned the equipment and got back in the car.

We had a light lunch on the way and headed to Uirimji, a representative famous spot in Jecheon.

They say it became more famous after appearing as the opening filming location for the variety show 2 Days & 1 Night, but I don’t know well since I don’t watch that program.

“It’s not certain, but it’s estimated to have existed since the Three Kingdoms period.”

“Amazing. Since then……”

It was an irrigation facility with a really long history.

We walk across the picturesque wooden bridge and look at the refreshing fountain spraying water next to it.

On the other side are duck boats floating around.

Climbing up to the pavilion named Yongho-ru, the overall view came into sight at once.

The beautiful mountain slopes visible in the distance.

Continuing to walk along the bridge, we could pass through the refreshingly cascading Yongchu Waterfall and the cave formed inside it.

“This is healing.”

“It is.”

Traveling with beautiful nature as a companion for 3 days and 2 nights, I newly feel its importance and preciousness.

So, I’ve felt it enough, let’s quickly return to Seoul and play the legendary league.

“What?”

“… Isn’t that last impression a bit strange?”

The two look at me with dumbfounded expressions.

“I’ve newly realized the comfort and happiness of my room life as much as the preciousness of nature.”

“……”

“Unnie.”

No, this isn’t right.

It’s not like I’m living in starvation, why are you looking at me with such sympathetic eyes?

I had to preach about the convenience and greatness of room life throughout the return journey.
