"Is everyone packed?" Sihyun called into the apartment, typing away on his cell phone with the label.
"Almost!" Ellie called out, turning back to Kyojin to tell her she can't pack that many mystery books, no matter how much she liked them.
"We'll be back in two days, right?" Ana walked out of the bedroom, pulling her suitcase behind her.
"Just in time to appear on Kiss The Radio," their manager replied.
"I'm already exhausted," Sara grumbled, falling on top of her suitcase, which she just dragged out into the living room.
"What are you girls packing?!" the male gaped, not believing his eyes when he noticed all the girls had rather large sized suitcases that were all full.
"We're girls, what do you expect?" Sara joked, helping Ana with her's as they exited their dorm.
"Are the MC's coming with us?" Kyojin asked, clipping her seatbelt in the van.
"Yes, but Taeyeon-ssi is taking a different plane due to schedule conflicts," Sihyun answered, starting the van and driving onto the highway.
"Even though this is a recording, I'm excited," Ellie admitted, staring out the window.
"You're still keeping your promise that at night we can do whatever we want?" Sara shifted forward in her seat.
Sihyun grumbled but confirmed it - along with adding they shouldn't do anything stupid - much to the girls joy.
Rather shortly the van was pulled to a stop in a wooded area. The second the girls hopped out of the car makeup artists were on them. Their outfits were pre-planned and the makeup was supposed to be more natural looking, to go with the wildlife surrounding them, so it took way less time than usual.
"Where are we?" Kyojin softly asked, walking towards a large wooden arch with bold Korean letters burnt into it. Underneath it was a winding stone path going so far she couldn't see the end of it.
"Somewhere bug infested," Sara growled, smacking a mosquito that landed on her neck.
"Close enough."
The girls turned around to see a smiling Leeteuk walking towards them, hands hidden in his dark jean pockets. "It's one of Korea's most famous mountains. A lot of elderly like to climb it in their free time."
"We're hiking?" Ana had a gentle smile on her face, hands clasped at the waist. "This could be fun."
Sara and Ellie gave her looks of disbelief, both dreading the winter hike.
CAMERA ON
"Welcome to Learn About Korea with Enchanted!" everyone on-screen cheered.
"Today is all about traveling," Leeteuk explained. "My co-MC will also be joining us later in the show due to another schedule. Our first stop is the famous Mt. Umyeonsan mountain located in our very own Seoul. Not only is the mountain a huge traveling destinations for Koreans, but it's also for adventuring foreigners as well. The relaxing one hour hike is just enough for you to get back into nature and out of city life! Have any of you girls hiked before?"
All the girls shook their heads, previously they all had never even thought of going hiking for enjoyment. But, at this point, they have no choice.
"Let's go!" the Super Junior member over exaggerated with a fist pump into the air. The members all laughed, hurriedly walking forward to the mountains entrance, hoping that as they moved the warmer they would become.
"I've never thought of hiking before," Ana mumbled when the camera turned towards her. She was too busy looking down, making sure she didn't step on a rock and break her ankle
