Nam Ji Hyun peddles furiously up the hill, her mind still mad over the rude mainlander from earlier.

These, these… tourists!   She silently fumes. Coming over as if they own the place just because they spend money here.

It was a little unfair of her, especially since Jeju-do's economy did depend on tourist dollars. In fact her and her Aunt's own livelihood depended on having visitors come over to take in the beautiful scenery of the island.

Jeju island was reknown for it’s natural wonders. The gorgeous beaches, ancient volcano, exotic birds and wild horses. It was a playground for nature lovers and, despite it’s popularity, there were many hidden spots where one could get away from it all. Like her own sleepy village.

This house would be the cleanest, most shiniest place the guest would ever have the pleasure of staying in by the time she was done with it.

 

 

 

 

The path is a little bumpy as Ji Chang Wook rides his scooter up the hill. But he’s pleased to see the pretty village roads and lush fields  along the way. He marvels at the wide expanse of greenness and the sweet smell of some type of flower in the air. This was a different side to Jeju than what he was used to, and he was enjoying it's crisp beauty.
