Chaeyoung receives an invitation to explore a newly discovered piece of desert with a few other explorers. But during her trip, she starts falling for one of the explorers.
"It's almost sunset, we should set up our tent." Lisa said after stopping.
Chaeyoung and Jisoo sets everything up while Jennie and Lisa look for wood and water. Chaeyoung notices Jisoo struggling to walk.
"Let me see your foot." Chaeyoung sat Jisoo down before checking on her wound. It was bleeding and even more bruised than the last time she saw it. "You can't go on like this forever." Chaeyoung notices Jisoo biting her lip and sweating.
"It's fine." Jisoo breathes heavily.
Chaeyoung bandages up Jisoo's foot and kisses her on the forehead.
"You sure you can continue like this? Chaeyoung looks concerned. "We could just stay here so we don't have to walk."
"I told you, it's fine." Jisoo kissed Chaeyoung on the lips. "Trust me, okay?"
"Fine." Chaeyoung sighed before putting away the first aid kit. "Take care of yourself, okay?" Chaeyoung ruffles Jisoo's hair before heading outside to help start a campfire.
"What's up.. what's on your mind? You look bothered." Jennie asked Chaeyoung.
"I'm just worried for Jisoo, she keeps pushing herself even though she is in so much pain." Chaeyoung sighed.
"It's okay, she'll be fine. We'll get out of this mess together." Lisa comforted Chaeyoung.
"I hope so." Chaeyoung starts boiling some water.
Suddenly, they hear the sound of a helicopter. It was so loud and powerful, it created a large blow of sand. The ground shook as the helicopter landed. A group of people in military outfits, carrying guns rescue them.
Before the men could pull them away, Chaeyoung went inside the tent and pulled Jisoo out so they won't forget about her. A few medics appear and takes care of Jisoo's foot.
The medic was stitching her foot up, she was in so much pain. Chaeyoung held clenched Jisoo's hand. Jisoo looked up at Chaeyoung with a weak smile. Chaeyoung gave out a small smile too.
After a few minutes of the helicopter ride, they arrive on the roof of a police station. The medics drive them all to the hospital in an ambulance. They were sent to the Emergency ward. Once they were all checked up on, they head to the police station.
"Miss... Manoban?" One of the officers notices Lisa. "Oh and Miss Kim and Park."
"What is happening?" Jennie asked. The police station looked like a mess, everybody is running around. There were papers all over the floor and spilled coffee.
The officer takes them to a clean and quiet office room. "We are working on your case, trying to find the director."
"What case?" Jisoo asked.
"Ah.. yes. I don't think you know yet. But.. your expedition was broadcasted live. They had no means of rescuing you guys, all for the views and attention." The officer sat them down. "Luckily, it was only broadcasted in Daegu and Incheon. And don't worry, your faces were blurred out."
"So what are you guys trying to do now?" Chaeyoung asked.
"Find the director. Oh shoot. I've got to go.. if you need anything, my business card is on the table." The officer quickly rushes out of the room.
They all take a business card. After exchanging numbers, they all go home and clean themselves up.

Chaeyoung heard the doorbell ring and quickly opened the door to find Jisoo there, she kissed her on the lips before helping her store the groceries.
Chaeyoung cuddles with her on the couch while watching TV.
Without the expedition, I wouldn't have met my girlfriend. Without the expedition, I wouldn't have suffered so much pain. Is the expedition good or was it bad? Chaeyoung thought to herself. Guess I'll never know.
