episode_0132

Forbidden Island was located on the opposite side of the island from Garapan Street, where the accommodation was located.

The straight line distance may not be far, but since there is no properly paved road through the center of the island, we had to go around the outskirts of the island.

By the time we arrived near our destination, unlike when we departed, pure white clouds were floating in the sky.

“I can’t drive in a sports car anymore.”

“Sure. I need to get a production crew car.”

We looked at the dirt road ahead and talked.

After calling writer Shin Man-jae and informing him of the situation, we ended up leaving the sports car nearby and taking the production team’s car.

After driving down the dirt road for a while, I came across a very old and rusted sign.

“Producer Park, is it okay to enter this?”

Seojun Kim got out of the car and asked with a reluctant face.

“Of course. All preliminary research has been completed.”

“No… no matter how you look at it, it looks like the beginning of a horror movie. This…”

” Seojun needs to be more confident! Her face is the whitest right now and she looks like a ghost and has a lot of skin!”

Pang pang ㅡ

Bang Bang-an hit Kim Seo-jun’s back with his palm as he hesitated in front of the sign.

“Ahh! Ah sister! If you don’t apply sunscreen, your skin will peel off!”

“They say it’s like an environmental preservation area.”

Moon Ji-yu said after reading a sign with letters erased here and there.

“It is written to protect birds and other wild animals and the natural environment.”

“Oh, is there anything prohibited?”

“I think you just have to do things like camping, hunting, and fishing as shown in the picture here. It is said that trekking, ecological observation, and swimming in the sea are possible.”

“Right? Yeah, just……”

“There is also a danger warning instead. Be careful of waves, falls, drowning accidents, etc.”

“……”

Her calm explanation made the group quiet.

Hwiiingㅡ

Passs

The sound of nearby blades of grass hitting each other in the blowing wind passed through the cast.

In the eerie atmosphere, the cast members ran their hands over their forearms.

“Hahaha…! Those warnings are everywhere…! Well then, let me take the lead and go first!”

Choi Jun-hyuk broke the awkward atmosphere and entered the entrance of the trekking trail.

And then other cast members and filming crew followed.

“Ugh…! This place looks like it needs some maintenance. Ah, thank you.”

“Something like this.”

I responded by blocking the grass that was trying to hit Moon Ji-yu’s face with my arm.

Although it is said to be a trekking path, honestly, it was less organized than the trails in the mountains behind Korea. If I were to exaggerate a bit, I could say it was like a complete jungle.

I had been walking for a few minutes through a forest of grass that barely maintained a path for people to step on, when I heard the voices of the group ahead of me.

“It’s arrived!”

“This is the forbidden island, Forbidden Island!”

“Let’s go quickly!”

When we heard that, we also quickened our pace and left the forest.

“Wow…!”

“It’s a nice scenery.”

After passing through the exit of the jungle-like passage, the place we stepped into was on a hill, like something out of a movie.

The sight of thigh-high reed-like grass filling the slope of the hill, swaying back and forth with the wind, aroused admiration.

And the island visible beyond the beach located at the bottom of the hill.

The pillar-shaped island that looked as if its upper part had been cut off was Forbidden Island.

“……It is a scenery worth coming to see.”

“Right?”

We went down the hill, watching our step.

“I understand why there was a fall warning that Minho’s younger brother read on the sign earlier.”

“Of course. It will be a bit difficult when you come up later, right?”

Choi Jun-hyuk and Kim Seo-jun had such a conversation while going down the slippery road.

In areas with steep slopes, there was even a line installed to hold onto and go down.

As I was catching my breath after going down the slope after struggling, PD Park Tae-jun came up to me and started explaining.

“You went through a lot of trouble to get here. That island you see over there is Forbidden Island. There is also a rumor that it was used as a secret training site for the CIA.”

“Really?”

“Aren’t we being held in a secret room somewhere?!”

“It’s just a ghost story. Haha.”

Producer Park Tae-jun, who laughed like that, continued.

“There will be no separate missions here. Minho and JiU have already filled all the fun moments just by busking.”

“Yay!”

“So you can play as much as you want?”

“You can enjoy whatever you want as long as you don’t bully the cameraman.”

The cast cheered at PD Park Tae-jun’s explanation.

“The ocean right in front of you has very strong waves, so please swim in the area hidden by the rocks next to it.”

Shoot~

After listening to what he said, I could see that the waves were really quite strong here.

Unlike the relatively calm beach on the first day, there were a lot of rocks here and there, so it was nice to see them, but I definitely felt like I had to be careful.

The place that PD Park Tae-jun pointed to was a large space surrounded by rocks that block waves.

It was a snorkeling spot created thanks to the terrain that blocks waves like a wall.

“It’s similar to the Seonnyeotang I saw when I went to Jeju Island!”

“I know there! You mean Hwang Woo-ji’s fairy soup?”

“Yes!”

Bang Bang-an chatted with Moon Ji-yu to see if they had ever seen a similar place.

We went into the simple locker room set up by the production crew and changed into the clothes we had prepared.

I took off my top and went outside wearing only comfortable beach shorts.

Choi Jun-hyuk and Kim Seo-jun, who came out first, gaped when they saw me.

“Wow…”

“I felt it even when I got wet due to magic, but my body is really nice…”

It was a response worth investing in mileage.

With shining eyes, I posed a few times with the beach in the background for the camera crew and waited for the female cast members to appear.

“You waited a long time, right?”

“Haha…”

Bang Bang-an came out wearing a cool yellow bikini and a translucent white hood, while Moon Ji-yu came out wearing a blue two-piece swimsuit with lace in an awkward gesture.

“It suits you well.”

“Thank you.”

The brown felt hat I gave him was placed on Moon Ji-yu’s slightly blushing head.

After the magic trick was over, he looked at me with quite regret, so I gave it to him as a gift.

“Don’t you take off your hat?”

“I wanted to leave it to the staff before going into the water.”

“Yes.”

‘I guess you liked it very much.’

After taking individual swimsuit shots, we moved to the snorkeling spot.

The huge rocks surrounding it created an atmosphere like a canyon in the sea.

“There were tourists who came first.”

“Because it’s not the place we rented.”

I also saw a passenger swimming first.

They seemed to be tourists who came as a family. A middle-aged man and woman who looked like a couple and a woman who looked like their daughter were splashing around together.

It was only for a moment that I happily watched the staff members nodding their heads asking for permission to film, when someone pushed my back.

I could already feel him sneaking up on me, but I just did it for the fun of it.

“Ugh!”

with a plop!

“Hahaha! Is Minho’s brother’s water cool?”

“Hehe… Your back is also very strong, isn’t it?”

Choi Jun-hyuk and Bang Bang-an burst out laughing as they looked down at me falling into the water.

“Poo…! It’s really cool, isn’t it? You two, please come down quickly, right?”

When I answered like that, Bang Bang-an winked at Moon Ji-yu, who was laughing and watching the situation next to him.

Moon Ji-yu was quick to notice and quietly went behind Choi Jun-hyuk with Bang Bang-an.

“The new missions that come out during the remaining schedule are mine!”

with a plop!

“Hahahaha!”

Choi Jun-hyuk, who was trying to make a grand speech, made a grand splash by raising a large water column next to me.

‘It reminds me of practicing martial arts at the lake.’

As I watched it with a smile, other cast members came into the sea one after another.

I received a snorkel and flippers from the waiting film crew and equipped them.

And he was the first to put his head into the water.

Bubble bubgle ㅡ

This place, surrounded by rocks, had great differences in water depth depending on the location.

The shallow part was only waist deep, but the deep part seemed to be 5 meters, making it the perfect place for swimming.

I had already practiced swimming until I got tired of it in the lake during my external training, so even though it was the ocean, there was no difficulty in moving my body.

Sigh ㅡ

The body moved forward in an instant as if being shot by the flippers that strongly pushed the water.

‘Hey…’

The underwater scenery was a completely different world from land.

The clear sea, as if I was swimming through green colored glass, was full of tropical fish and corals that I had not seen on the first day.

I saw sparkling blue fish, puffer fish with yellow horns, and small tropical fish with swirl-like patterns on their bodies swimming among the coral and rocks.

It was a unique scenery that made even me, who had various experiences while traveling, feel excited.

Seueueuu

Moon Ji-yu, who had belatedly dived after leaving his hat, came next to me.

“……”

We observed tropical fish while giving each other the OK sign.

As soon as I got a little closer, he backed away and ran away, so I took out a sausage from my inventory and held it in my hand.

Pkeukkeuk-ppukkeuk-ppukkeuk-

As I broke the sausage in my hand into small pieces with my fingers and scattered them, tropical fish gathered around us.

Bubble bubble ㅡ

The eyes inside Moon Ji-yu’s snorkel opened wide and air bubbles leaked out.

In an instant, the tropical fish that had eaten the small pieces of meat floating around started pecking at my hand holding the sausage.

Whenever there is food in front of them when they are on high alert, they rush at it right away. If it were an area where fishing was allowed, it seemed like they would have gotten raw fish without fail.

The cameraman, who fell for a moment while diving, latched on again and filmed the tropical fish swimming around us.

At that time, I heard an unusual noise in my ears.

Ppa-gak-ppagak-

“……?”

When I turned my head toward the sound, I saw a fish the size of my forearm breaking apart coral with its beak-like mouth and eating it.

‘Wow, there are all kinds of strange fish.’

In times like these, it was disappointing that I couldn’t use the guidebook in real life.

If I could, I could have asked what kind of fish that is.

‘Will it appear in the edited version later?’

When I saw the camera taking pictures of the fish next to me, I thought so and moved on.

Sigh ㅡ

“Haa…haa…”

“Snorkeling is also fun.”

“Haha, that’s right. There are so many amazing things!”

I smiled face to face with Moon Ji-yu, who had come to the surface due to lack of breath.

We joined other cast members for underwater group shots and competed to see who could hold their breath the longest.

Of course, I won the breath-holding contest.

Surprisingly, it was Moon Ji-yu who came in second place.

“Is it because I sing well? Jiyu is also good at holding her breath. Junhyuk oppa needs to do some exercise.”

“I don’t want to get old…”

Choi Jun-hyuk, who ranked last in the friendly match, despaired at Bang Bang-an’s words.

While we were having fun for a while, PD Park Tae-jun called us.

“Everyone, I think you need to come outside for a moment.”

“Yes? Are you leaving already?”

“The weather is unusual right now. It looks like a squall is coming.”

“What is a squall?”

“This refers to sudden heavy rain in tropical regions. You can think of it as something similar to a shower. Although it lasts much faster and shorter than that.”

I heard those words and looked up at the sky.

‘It was noticeably blurrier than before.’

“Then shouldn’t we just avoid the rain for a while and come back?”

“We will have to look at the situation, but the waves may get worse. I think it would be best to just stop here today.”

Producer Park Tae-jun, who had already decided to take a cautious approach to safety-related matters due to work at the airport before leaving the country, said so with a stern expression.

“There are places where you can do snorkeling other than here. There are many other activities on the schedule.”

When the PD said that, the cast had no choice but to agree with his decision.

“Because safety is the most important thing…”

“Then do you have any additional plans today?”

“When the squall passes, have steak for dinner at a restaurant overlooking the beach…”

As we talked, we prepared to withdraw.

The cast was ready to dry off and put on their coats, but the filming team wasted a lot of time gathering equipment for underwater filming.

And a few minutes later.

Tuk. Fighting.

“Huh…?”

As I raised my head as water droplets hit the bridge of my nose, countless raindrops falling from the sky caught my eye.

“Ugh…! It’s already raining like this!”

“Hey! Bring a tarp! Just cover it and take it with you!”

“Take out the camera cover! You brought a raincoat, right? If you don’t have it, at least put that on!”

Shoot!

“……I was planning to go back before it rained. Haha…”

Producer Park Tae-jun sighed as he watched the rain start to fall unexpectedly in a very short period of time.

Rain pouring down from the sky as if a shower had turned on, as if the weather had never been clear.

Seueueuu

I handed out the raincoats I took out of my inventory to the cast members, pretending to take them out of my backpack.

The filming team tried to give me a spare raincoat, but I made a mistake.

“Thank you.”

“Minho, won’t you be a regular on our program?”

“There is only Minho’s younger brother…”

“Minhoemon…!”

I patted the head of Mun Ji-yu, who was making strange noises about becoming close friends, and sat down on the sand on the beach.

“Since it is raining, it seems dangerous to go back up the slope we saw earlier. They say that if you wait a little while, the squall will stop raining, so for safety’s sake, it would be right to wait here for a while.”

We looked straight ahead, nodding our heads at Producer Taejun Park’s words.

As rain poured down on the transparent sea, water droplets like fog rose.

People swallowed their saliva at the gloomy appearance of the sea, which suddenly changed from the peaceful atmosphere before.

Kurrungㅡ
