Sink, sound of pages.

The two men and women sitting between one table were busy exploring the book in their hands. In addition, the piles of books piled up on the table made me confuse this place with a library.

“These are · · · · · · · · ·. ”

But this is room 301 Gangbuk Medical Center. While Seochol was enjoying a sweet afternoon nap and immediately opened his eyes, he saw this absurd laugh.

“What are you doing in someone else's room? ”

“Are you awake, Dad? ”

I looked at the galaxy as if I didn't need anything.

“Why is Kang Min-ho so distracted? If you want to go on a date, you can call your mom. ”

“You were there all night. There's no place quite like this, and Minho's fans flock to the cafe when they go out. ”

“Oh, my God. So you're just gonna keep going so I can't even watch TV? ”

“Just ask me to finish my finals, Dad. ”

“Phew. Give me the newspaper. ”

Even though she was a loving daughter, I hated her just as much. While wearing magnifying glasses from the side, Seochol dug his head into the book and gazed at Minho who muttered nonstop.

“Is he here to see your face or to see a book? ”

“Minho?”

Seo galaxy also looked at Minho and smiled.

“It's Minho's way of studying. He can touch me for five minutes at a time. ”

“Are you focused or are you frozen? ”

“That's good. Minho really helped me study this semester. ”

“Your studies? ”

During Seochol, I glanced at the title of the book that the West Galaxy is holding. It seems difficult to pretend it's international issues and international law. Helping political diplomacy majors study these books was impossible unless they had a considerable level of knowledge.

‘Even at the last hospital. The more I look at it, the less I know what to say. ’

Like the parents who raised the study bug daughter, Seo Cheol thought that Min-ho would not be a typical student. I don't think bad things are naive at all, studying, exercise, a sense of humor. It was definitely better than the guy who had been chasing his daughter.

This was the first time I had experienced such a worry-free relationship during Seochol.

When my father looked at Minho for a while and was silent, Seo Galaxy said.

“We're filming in America tomorrow. ”

The book Minho was looking at, "A Guide for Hikers who Run Appalachia," said the galaxy.

“I'm just looking at some relevant books that are very dangerous. ”

“It's a dangerous place, isn't it, America? Wait, didn't you say you were going to Africa? ”

Tanzania.

“Isn't that also a very dangerous place? What was that neighborhood · · · Yes · Rwanda. You just killed a bunch of civilians, sent the UN in, and now you're shaking. ”

“I've always talked about it. And you know what South Africa is like? I go to a refugee camp, and I go there to help the poor, and I shoot well to make sure more people want to help. ”

Seochol sighed as his daughter was bruised with knowledge.

“I'm sorry. I stayed before I was a detective. ”

“Rwanda is · · · · · · that has become an issue with Dad, ‘Humanitarian Intervention'. ”

After the Seo Milky Way had been trying to tell a painful story for a long time, the Seo Milky Way shook its head.

“All right, all right. I don't know what's going on in a country halfway around the world. I can't catch all the criminals in this town. ”

“Worry about the whole thing. ”

“While I'm looking at the newspaper, take her and go. Eat your dinner. In the meantime, let's watch some TV. ”

“What about Dad's dinner? ”

“I can have a bad, healthy meal here from the nurse. ”

“Can I get you anything? ”

“Cigarette.”

“You can't do that. ”

Then Seo Cheol shakes his hands as if he didn't have anything to see. Seo Eun said, "Goodbye.” I calmly said, walking in front of Minho.

“Minho, let's go eat. ”

“Oh, Milky Way. Wait a minute. I have three. ”

“Have you seen it all? ”

“Roughly.”

“Take your time. Let me just wrap this up for you. ”

“Common but Differential Responsibility Principles," right? I memorized it before, so I'll help with the debate on the way. ”

During this conversation, he spread the newspaper and sighed.

Even if she doesn't want to be moved by her care, so does he. I can't believe we're sitting in a room studying together. I never thought it would be so hard for him to have nothing to wear.

Seochol felt anxious that he might soon have to let go of his loving daughter's hand.

The sunset hour.

Min Ho who parked his car overlooking the Han River walked out and picked up his cell phone.

“Yes, Father. I'm going to America this time. Like in Switzerland, there was no love affair. ”

- I don't have it.

“Haha. Right? I heard how active international shipments are. If that's the case.”

Minho told Yun Hwan directly.

“Just one thing to help you explore the wild forests of the Appalachian Great Smoky Mountains this time. ”

- Hanging up · ·

Rejection is a second speed because it's not cool anymore.

“Ah, Father! ”

- How long are you going to keep coveting this father's love life?

“For life?”

- Like I said before, it's your wedding present or never. Don't bring this up again.

Minho said marriage and turned his gaze to the Seo galaxy sitting in the passenger seat for a moment. Her eyes meet, and she nods to speak slowly.

“Marriage is a long way off, but I'm going to say hello to my girlfriend. ”

- You have a girl you like.

“If you meet my father, he'll die of gumbo. You're so pretty. ”

You hear a murmur over the phone, "You're blown away."

“Well, as long as I'm trying to tame high-quality artifacts, I'll be sure to gather them around the world in the future. I'm so jealous of my father. ”

And you said America, right? Unlike our national culture, there are a lot of buildings and goods that have been used for a long time, so it will be easier to find them than it looks. There's definitely an antique sales system.

“Really!”

- It's a big pile of dirt.

The last thing Yoon said was that he had heard Minho's mood.

- You can't just shove your toes into someone else's yard and get shot, so don't get distracted by your favorite stuff.

“Don't worry, Father! ”

After finishing the call, Minho felt he needed to deposit money into an overseas account.

Sweet.

I got in the driver's seat and turned my eyes to the galaxy.

“It's been a little longer since I thought of talking to you. Sorry, galaxy. ”

“Was that your father?”

“Yes, he asked me to come over sometime. ”

“Did you talk about me? Whew, I need to prepare myself. ”

The galaxy that swept its chest once opened the sandwich wrapper in the basket and gave it to Minho.

“Hey, Min-ho, are you hungry? ”

“Thank you.”

Minho apologizes for the situation when he had to solve the evening with a sandwich, but he missed the timing of her smiling eyes.

“This is delicious. ”

I only like the face, I like the heart.

“After I left, no. At the end of your volunteer work. You two are going on a trip. A country no one will recognize. ”

“Is that so?”

“Of course. Even if it's uninhabited, the Milky Way is enough. ”

Minho resolved to eat a sandwich. Even if I take a break from celebrity activities or looking for a souvenir, I will definitely be alone with her.

“By the way."

The Seo galaxy, which was grinding the sandwich, suddenly turned to Minho.

“This time, I have a famous actor from China and Japan who is involved in the UN Refugee Agency. One per country. I think they're going to shoot a big commercial. ”

Minho stopped.

“The actors. Is it a man?”

“Maybe?”

“Don't go. ”

“Hehe.”

Seo said, passing a straw from a cup of juice in Minho's mouth.

“My father and I share a similar relationship. I'm the youngest celebrity to be involved. And if you can't speak, what's to worry? ”

“Galaxies don't know men. Age and nationality are no obstacles to beauty. ”

Minho insisted, "Oh, really?" The galaxy smiling with its face, "said Seo Galaxy.

“By the way, I heard that Hollywood actors are also involved. Was it Lena or was it Leah? ”

“Leah · · · Taylor? ”

“Oh, I think so. Him.”

Minho stumbled upon Leah Taylor's memory and said in a more cautious voice.

“Galaxy. If Leah Taylor wants to have a drink with you, she can't. There's no club in Tanzania, right? No, don't get close at all. ”

“Minho, do you know this actor? ”

One day, Leah, who was hung out to drink, was tied to her back and was on a jet ski. I don't know how many times I've called my country to drown my excitement in Bourne's intimacy.

Of course, this was a story you would never tell a Western galaxy.

“Oh, you know, it's in movies all the time. I've seen interviews before, and I don't think he's going to fit in with the galaxy because he's so open. It doesn't fit at all. ”

“Now I'm jealous of women. ”

While saying this, she smiled as if Minho's reaction was funny.

“This is bad. I haven't seen much of a movie lately. Once a month, every family watching is an old movie. At the end of the exam, I want to take all the films from the actors who participated together. ”

The galaxy has been devoted only to school and actor activities, not enjoying the cultural life that everyone enjoys. Minho was beginning to worry that she was going to be alone in a faraway land, where she had only been pure.

‘The captain didn't just stand there like that. ’

Minho said after finishing his sandwich.

“Galaxy, let's go learn self-defense. ”

“Self-defense?”

“I'm going to teach you a few simple techniques to use when you're in danger. ”

Minho, who put his hand in his pocket and wore the agent's ring, stiffened his arm at the next words of the galaxy.

“Do you know that Minho resembles my father more and more? My dad taught me a lot about that excuse. ”

“That's right. You said you learned to guide the galaxy. ”

I remember hearing it before. He's a Judean. The West Galaxy smiles and shows two fingers.

“Second stage, certified? ”

“Before going to college, my dad got all worked up and worked hard. I thought all the guys in college were criminals. ”

If I was in the middle of Seochol, I would have injected it like that.

“Min-ho, would you like to take a look? There was a small part of it, so I fought Sergeant Park and then I broke a bone. ”

“Oops, did you break a bone? ”

“No.”

The West Galaxy says, "I broke it in the back of my foot.” As soon as she replied, Minho pretended to look out the window, clearing her throat.

“Milky Way, don't touch the actors you've been with, even if they don't like it. ”

“Yes, Minho. ”

After taking out the horse, Min-ho couldn't find it. After that, he only drank juice all the time.

After a while.

The sun is completely setting, and it's time to go back.

“Milky Way. Phone's tight. Never mind the international phone bill. If you didn't get it, just leave a message. ”

“Minho, if you go there and attract other women from other countries, you'll get in trouble. ”

“Oriental men are not that popular. ”

“Anyway.”

“I'll keep that in mind. Shouldn't you stamp it on me as much as the galaxy is anxious? ”

Minho pointed to his lips. Seo Milky Way smiled and asked.

“Do I have to? ”

“We might run into a bear tomorrow. ”

Minho stretches out his arms to fasten the seatbelts of the Western Galaxy in front of her.

“What if American Blackbears just follow me around saying I like them? ”

The snowy western galaxy asked.

“Are you going to charm a bear? ”

“If possible.”

“Oh, I shouldn't have!”

Seo galaxy gently wrapped its arms around Minho's neck. Lips and lips were intertwined, and the kiss of lovers that would not be seen for a month went on as if it were never over.

* * *

- Let me give you a heads-up. Our flight is from KoreanAir, Flight 037 to Atlanta. One more ride before departure.

Minho tightened the seat belt on the plane and waved his hand at the camera of VJ in close proximity.

“A 14-hour flight. Eat three meals, in the sky. ”

Heart Ore next door, looking at Minho mumbling as if to himself, said.

“Minho's brother looks familiar. I still have camera cramps. ”

“VJ cams are comfortable when you think there's just one viewer following you. ”

“A 24-hour watcher? Gosh, I feel burdened. ”

“That's why you treat them like friends. Goodbye."

When VJ turned the lens to film another cast, Minho even said goodbye.

“Minho. I'm confused about the PD earlier. When we get there, it's the National? Are your people following you? ”

“Yes, Korean steps have a lot of difficulty moving around with camera equipment. ”

“Oh, I'm nervous. You don't speak much English. Isn't it a global embarrassment to shovel there? ”

“We're a team that is willing to participate, so it's going to be okay. ”

Minho recalled what he had heard at a short meeting before boarding. The close-up will be accompanied by experts from the National Geographic team, and South Korea will only be responsible for telescopes and interviews at point points, as there are many variables in the mountain range.

National Geographic broadcasts, which I happened to see on TV channels, were mostly serious documentaries. That's why Minho didn't think this trip would be as talented as this one.

Ding-dong.

The signal to wear a seatbelt blinked on the back of the seat.

- Ladies and gentlemen, please keep your luggage under or on shelves and fasten your seat belts in designated seats.

VJ interviewed the cast, sat down, and five people, including Minho, sat side by side and waited for takeoff.

Shortly after, the plane flew over Incheon Airport.

“Sir.”

Minho held the bottle in his hand and ordered a fresh water from the crew that began to move. I had no idea what was going to happen when I arrived, so I was going to try to adjust my condition as much as possible on the plane.

“Minho, wake up. They'll be here soon.”

Minho opened his eyes as the heart stone waved his left arm.

“Well, are we there yet? ”

“Look outside. I've never seen anyone sleep so comfortably in Economy. ”

“I usually sleep with my eyes closed at the bottom. ”

Minho lay there for a long time, rubbing his stiffened arms and legs and throwing his gaze out the wide ground seen outside the right window.

From above, the southeastern United States hub and the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport were large, but not particularly contemporary. However, whenever she encountered other countries and cultures, she was excited as she got closer to the runway.

Where are the Great Smoky Mountains? ’

It reminded me that even at this height, I can't see very well, but I have to get in the car. It was right next to the map of the area I saw in the book, but the size was too large for Korean topography.

The size of Korea is 100,000 square, the size of the United States is nine million square.

Minho looked out the window thinking he should have a more common mind to match the weather on the continent.

- Thank you very much for joining us on your precious journey today.

The plane landed at the airport.

While listening to the broadcast, Minho stood in a line in the hallway with his backpack on his back. The cast and steps of Man and Jungle, which were lined up next to and behind seats, were exhausted by the long flight.

Hwang Ji-seok asked the master who was leading with a frowny face.

“Señor, what time is Atlanta? ”

“Ten o'clock.”

“Well, it's a long night. I think I should go straight to bed. ”

The winner glanced at Minho and said.

“Just stay up all night to adjust to the jet lag. The later you adapt, the more tired you get when you go into the forest. ”

The door on the plane opened and Minho followed the signboard to City Hall F.

While lining up for entry, Hwang Ji-seok opened his mouth at the meeting place.

“Where did you say we were going? Appalachia?”

Minho was in the galaxy yesterday and yesterday, and recalled the knowledge he read in the book.

“Appalachia is a long mountain range that extends from the eastern tip of the U.S. continent to the south-east, and where we're going is actually part of the Smoky Mountains. ”

“Really?"

“It also crosses the main border between North Carolina and Tennessee and the Appalachian Trail that runs through the Klingon Dome. ”

Knowledge that was forcibly cooked with the ring seemed to imprint the whole part in his head, so Min-ho secretly drank and walked ahead to examine the country.

“I don't know anything about Min-ho. Sports, sports. Very versatile. It's a win, isn't it? ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

After expressing his admiration for Hwang Ji-seok, he regretted his physical training until yesterday and referencing only wildlife survival books.

Approximately 50 people, both the Man & Jungle step and cast completed the difficult entry process, and walked out through customs to the terminal looking for the luggage.

Cho, who was waiting in front, cried out.

There's a bus waiting for you at gate 16! Follow the leader! ”

Minho, who was following dozens of steps in a row, looked at the books on the tourist guide to the entrance of the airport. I looked at the roughly what I could get in the country, but I thought it would be detailed to be published in the United States, and I held a book in my hand called "History of the Mountains."

How much is this?

I bought the book for a dollar that I had exchanged, and the next shrugged winner grabbed a thick book called 'Geological History of the Appalachian Trail’ and looked at it.

‘That would be heavy. ’

Minho, who came out to gate 16 and got on the bus, sat down and gazed at the book at the step that said he had to move for the next three hours to the camp to spend his first day.

Burp.

Buses in the back seat to the restroom began to move, much larger than buses in Korea.

The mid-seat winner suppressed the motion sickness whenever the car shakes and began to hold down information about where to go.

About three hours later.

While the bus was climbing up the mountain along the twisted ridge, Minho was having fun reading the later part of the book.

[About 30,000 years ago, the land of those Indians, who migrated from Northern Asia. The Great Smoky Mountains are home to the Cherokee tribe, known among them as the great hunters.]

"The land of the Indians. ’

When he turned over the bookshelf, he painted his whole body with orange, yellow, and white symbols, and saw a picture of an Indian with a leather belt and a bow and arrow on his body.

An Indian dancing with magical significance reminded Minho of the movie ’Dancing with Wolves' that he had seen on TV a long time ago.

Indians follow mysterious providences unknown to the layman. At that time, I was vaguely curious because the land that they had actually lived in was close to was the story of the fantasy world.

Unlike modern society, a long, long time ago, there must have been an artifact and an affection. If I had not lived in that age, I would have been curious, but I was greedy.

‘Just in case. ’

Minho wanted to hold on to the Indian relics and see the memories.

[Later, the pain of the forced migration, called the 'Path of Tears’, gave the Cherokee Indians a harsh winter. Nevertheless, they waited patiently according to the natural providence that 'spring will surely come when winter comes.' Believing in the hope and blessings of spring.]

“These people have a sick history, too. ”

Minho, who covered the book, muttered, stopped and looked out the window.

next to a sign called Cherokee National Forest Garden Campground. Minho was flawed by the photos in the book and the indians in similar outfits standing just below the window.

What, what? ’

Minho wide-eyed waved a stone necklace and a silver bracelet in both hands and said, "Thrust! I had to swallow a groan when I saw him shouting," Three times! ”

Once upon a time, and now not a hunt, but an Indian tribe working in the tourism industry against the world. For better or for worse.

“We're here, so you can make yourself comfortable here, not camping today. We've invited the Survival Instructor this afternoon to take some time to listen to your advice, so please rest until then. ”

In the front seat, Cho told the cast.

Minho got off the bus stood at the entrance of the camp and looked at the surrounding landscape with layers of mountain ranges.

Great Smoky Mountains.

The name that the faint fog created by the evaporation of rainwater from the tree was always floating in the air. The visible mountain peak was wrapped in a mist filled with blue energy, literally drawing a wide picture.

“What, here. It's paradise, right?”

After that, the cast also opened their mouths.

Minho, who remembered the knowledge he had seen in the book, said indifferently among those admiring him.

“This is just the entrance, and where we're going is beyond that mountain. This is a tough section of the Appalachian Trail. ”

In Minho's mouth, the expected diurnal temperature variation was 40 degrees, followed by pessimistic predictions that only dozens of hillsides and peaks could get lost.

“Today is the last day to win back. Phew, I'm going to go put my back into bed. ”

Hwang Ji-seok carried his bag and headed to a wooden building with a sign 'Cherokee Hostel’ on one side of the campground. Following that, I turned my gaze to Minho while trying to follow the winner.

“What are you doing? ”

Min Ho walks towards a stall full of tourist goods, with a middle-aged woman standing in an Indian outfit. The winner walked into the hostel kicking his tongue when he saw him trying to buy souvenirs from the world.

* * *

A thick wheel of jeep climbs up a steep mountain pass and stands in a clearing. The door of the driver's seat opened and a white man in black boots came down with a land full of leaves.

He is so strong that his muscles will feel like armor, he looks down at the mist covered in mountains and turns his eyes to those who are installing the flag 'origin'.

A photography team from National Geographic was repairing the ‘Great Football Championships’ start point scheduled for tomorrow morning.

Uncle Wolf!

A brunette-haired woman checking out the white man ran for a month with a happy look on her face.

Dwayne Steel Well. In the emergence of a well-known man in the field of survival, collectively known as Wolf, the rest of the filming team also turned their heads and greeted.

Wow, Scarlet.

Wolf waves to the woman approaching.

You're so big you don't even know it. Now twenty-eight?

"Seven. I'm no longer the kid who was in trouble under Wolf.

The woman raises her arms at her waist and looks like a model. Scarlet Lawrence. With the exception of a slight freckle on the back of her nose, she was also Wolf's niece and head of the National Geographic's outdoor photography team, who would have been a very unhappy woman.

Scarlet glares at the blue eyes and asks Wolf.

I was surprised to hear you were coming yesterday. You're still running Wild Wolf in Hong Kong, right?

Yes.

What are you doing here? Will a Wild Wolf student come?

Sort of. Work, you know.

Wolf said he was advisor to the Korean team to support them. Scarlet asked, surprised.

I heard it's not a professional team. Wolves won't be enough to get you on top of the trail team. Why?

"It's a fun team. Especially one friend, Scarlet. You'd be surprised. It's the Mister River. I have a different sense of survival.

Wolf rarely praises students. I'll keep that in mind. But will surviving be enough for that team?

Scarlet looks at the camping group, already on one side of the clearing.

Seven men and women setting up a tent with a flag called "Realist." They were already settled and settled down for survival even though their departure was tomorrow. In Wolf's ears, Scarlet explained that only those who were following their travel blog were millions of people in the world.

"Wait. Is that Henry on that team?

That's right, I'm the team leader. You were one of the Wolf students, weren't you? I've come to see you play Survivor.

"Wow, that's always the story.

When I was 15 years old?

Wolf reminded me of a long time ago when he saw Henry, the first winner of the 'Surviver’ reality show, which was a big hit across the United States. A very challenging and adventurous young man has now grown into a leader who leads a team as a complete explorer.

It's going to be an interesting competition. Scarlet, do you mind if I come by and watch some of the films?

Of course, Master. None of my colleagues don't know Wolf's name. You can come by anytime without me.

Scarlet smiles brightly as he stalked Wolf, calling him "Master" as a child.

I'll take a look around the other side then. Work.

See you later, Wolf!

Wolf in sunglasses disappears into the foothills. Scarlet watches over Wolf and calls for a colleague who has completed the flag work.

Bill!

Yes, sir.

Do you have a list of contestants?
