expedition

Seunghee-Are you sure with your decision?
Eunji-Yes! We connot let Baekhyun and his friends find that treasure. I won't let that happen

Eunji tapped on the table

Seunghee-Fine. But you must be careful okay? That trip will be so dangerous
Bomi-Don't worry grandma. I will take the whole responsible on them

Bomi kissed Seunghee's cheek before taking up her backpack

Naeun-Hurry up!
Bomi-Coming Naeun!

Hayoung-Unnie wait!

Hayoung yelled and pulled her bag that seemed so heavy

Chorong-What did you put in your bag?

Chorong who looked relax behind Hayoung asked

Seunghee-Chorong? You are not going with them?

Chorong smiled and slightly shook her head

Chorong-I don't feel like going. Just let them have fun
Namjoo-I've persuaded her like million of times already. But she still with her principal
Chorong-Just go I'm fine
Naeun-Okay. We will send your regard to Joonmyeon
Chorong-What the hell?!

Seunghee-Enough girls. The boys must be waiting for you
Bomi-You're right grandma
Naeun-Please pray for our success
Seunghee-Sure. Be careful

As the five girls left, Seunghee instantly turned to her eldest granddaughter

Seunghee-You didn't do it, did you?

Chorong sighed before shaking her head

Chorong-Should I?

This time,her grandma nodded

***

Sehun-I can see nothing
Baekhyun-What if they will never come?

Baekhyun started spreading rumors

Joonmyeon-They will come
Jongin-Are you sure hyung?

Joonmyeon nodded his head confidently. He believed that Chorong and her sisters would not lie to them

Chanyeol-There they come!

Chanyeol cheered to see the five girls who were walking towards them

Bomi-Hurry girls

Bomi shouted in excitement. They finally reached the boys

Naeun-We come
Jongin-Late
Naeun-Still we come

Meanwhile Joonmyeon, he was tip-toe-ing, and peeking his head to find someone. Someone he was looking for wasn't there!

Namjoo-Chorong unnie refused to join
Joonmyeon-What? *flustered
Namjoo-*chuckled* Sorry but I've tried
Joonmyeon-It's okay. It is not your fault anyways

Joonmyeon blushed to know that Namjoo understood his concern

Hayoung-Ouch my shoulders are going to break! Why must be bring all these things?
Bomi-I told you to just bring important stuffs. But you ended up bringing your novels too
Eunji-Are you serious? We are going for extreme activity, not library
Hayoung-Don't make up shits. I didn't bring all those
Elders-Wo! Language!

The elders started nagging at the maknae but she fought back

Baekhyun-Ouh look at you girls. Backpack, rope and even compass? We boys don't need that
Eunji-It's because you have us to bring them

Eunji scoffed at Baekhyun illogical statement

Joonmyeon-Well if your fight ends here we shall start
Jongin-Wait. The map?

Bomi pulled out a folded paper from her backpack

Naeun-It's with me
Jongin-Good
Chanyeol-So now where can we start this expedition?
Bomi-Naeun and I found another riddle few days ago when we went to the city hall
Naeun-It said 'What runs for mile but never gets tired?'

Sehun-Isn't the same words written on the board near the lake?
Hayoung-What does it means?
Sehun-*shrugged* But the words were created by people who live here. They said the lake had streamed for almost 60 years yet it never stop flowing

Chanyeol-So how? Shall we go and check?

*skip!

They had spent half of the day figuring out the riddles they found

'Where the water flows,the cherry blossom grows'

'Slowly progressing like a midday chime. The growth of the tree is a reflection of time'

The riddles brought them to the fountain and lastly they stopped at the clock tower again

As the clock turned to noon, the clock reflected in the fountain 

The clock tower is like a music box. Little wooden animals and people popped out from its front door. The clock chimed and played a sound

Eunji-It's been a while after I heard this
BaekJi~ Hmm hmm
Everything you need, lies beneath the cheery blossom

Both Baekhyun and Eunji sang their childhood anthem

Joonmyeon-This song!
Jongin-Do you think it's a clue?
Joonmyeon-I think yes

Bomi-Everything you need. Is this phase refers to the treasure?
Chanyeol-Definitely

Namjoo-So the treasure lies beneath the cheery blossom
Kyungsoo-Cherry blossom? Cherry blossom tree? But which one?
Sehun-Are you kidding? This is Cherry Blossom Town! There are more than 1000 trees here

Naeun sighed heavily and sat down

Naeun-I'm giving up already
Bomi-What? No Naeun don't. You promised
Chanyeol-You can't give up this easy Naeun
Kyungsoo-That is right

Jongin-It's all you guys' fault

Jongin pointed his index finger at the siblings

Eunji-What?

Jongin-If you didn't hide the map we might get to find the treasure long time ago
Joonmyeon-Jongin
Jongin-It's true hyung! Stop taking their sides. The treasure is ours. We deserve it

The atmosphere changed to be cold again. Jongin was blaming the siblings. Would they get to work as a team?
