Incheon International Airport

Jennie yawns behind her face mask with her half-closed eyes. Manager Park kinda forced her to tag along to the airport to be the cameraman for Jisoo.

She pouts at the oblivious Manager Park who is busy talking with one of the TVN staff. 

“Take care. Don’t wander on your own and stick close to the staffs and crews.” 

“Ok mom.” Jisoo’s on the phone with her worried parents.

“Text us as soon as you get there. Don’t forget your meals.”

“Yes Dad, I’ll bear that in mind,” Jennie points at Manager Park urging them to come.

“Ok mom and Dad, I gotta go now.” Jisoo says her goodbye and pushes her huge carrier. 

“I’m Shin PD, I’ll be the one travelling with you girls to our destination. Hurry up we don’t have much time.” Shin PD grabs the girls by the arms and lead them to the departure hall.

“I.. I’m just here to film Jisoo. I’m not part of this show.” Jennie is confused and waves her arms frantically. Jisoo is equally baffled at the situation and looks around for their manager.

“Please explain PDnim. This must be a mistake because I’m the one going. Jennie’s only sending me off.”

“No, there’s no mistake. Both of you are coming. That’s part of the trick in this trip that you agreed to.” Shin PD reveals to them. 

“I’ll explain once you meet the other cast members.” She grabs them lightly by the shoulders and gently leads them in. 

Jennie hopes this is a prank because their manager is nowhere to be found. As they approach the officer for check-in, Shin PD hands in 3 passports, including Jennie’s.  How on earth did Shin PD have her documents without Manager Park’s help. 

Jisoo feels terribly sorry for Jennie because she was the unlucky one chosen randomly among Blackpink members. According to Manager Park, one person from the group ‘is needed’ to ‘help film’ Jisoo at the airport. That’s how the managers are instructed to bring one unsuspecting member to join this reality travel show. 

Jennie almost screams at Manager Park who is smiling at her from afar. At least they’ll be away for 30 days and hopefully it’s enough for Jennie to forget about his incident. Without any sense of guilt he waves them goodbye. 

On the other side of the hall, another commotion is going on, involving a young red-haired boy and his innocent manager. 

“You tricked me into this!” Haechan felt so betrayed and almost in tears. He is another victim of this show. Taeyong doesn’t know what to say because he is the most confused one among them. How did Haechan agree to come? When Taeyong woke up this morning, Haechan was about to go to bed after playing computer game all night. However, their manager ‘kindly’ offers to take him to a famous restaurant after sending Taeyong off. That’s how the gullible boy fell for the trick. 

“I’ll explain everything to you once we meet other members.” Na PD tries to calm them down. With cameras around, he’s assure that the young idols would be civil and control their raging anger. 

“Enjoy your trip boys! See you in a month.” The manager finally sighs in relief when Na PD comes to his rescue. Tricking the boys is not an easy task for him. And choosing the one person who would be travelling with Taeyong is making his head spin. 

Why? 

Firstly, Taeyong is a clean freak. 

Second, he hates tardiness, loudness and nonsense.

Third, he is extremely sensitive and need someone who understands his thoughts. 

Lastly, this is his first major variety show and Taeyong is pressured to do well. 

The manager trusts his instinct after observing Haechan having no problem living together with Taeyong as his roommate for the past 2 months. For now, that’s the longest record among other NCT members. 

*Fingers crossed for Haechan to survive*
*Fingers crossed for Haechan to spare manager’s life once he gets back*
