Lee Hyun had observed Seoyoon's expression very closely, but he did not know what she was feeling.
Seoyoon was happy, though she did not show a wider smile.
With the boat having been at sea for a long time, she was getting comfier with time.
The professors came out onto the deck and took off their coats.
They appeared to be Marine uniforms!
“This is the perfect time to tell you about this MT trip.”
The remark was made by Professor Ju Jonghun.
The students gathered together on the deck and wait for him to talk in silence.
“As you may have known, the original location of this MT was at Seung Bong Do. It is an extremely beautiful island. But it became clear that for this trip, for the purpose of having a wildlife experience, it was not fitting; so we cancelled. It’ll be better for you to visit Seung Bong Do at a later date.”
Ju Jonghun said this while expanding his smile.
“It’d be good to know in advance that it isn’t Seung Bong Do.”
“Then, where are we going for this MT, professor?”
Asked the senior students, be Ju Jonghun did not leak anything.
“You’ll find that out eventually. In the mean tine, you don’t need to worry too much about it. It’s Sil…nah, though this island makes sense for this trip. It’s truly the wilderness and has the spirit of selflessness; it’s the best location to take advantage of the opportunity to nurture the blazing hot camaraderie!”
Due to the professor’s remark, the students were buzzing busily making guesses.
“Hmm where at. Certainly make sense if it’s one of the islands in the Yellow Sea.”
“Nope, not there.”
There are numerous of beautiful islands belonging Republic of Korea in the Yellow Sea.
The fishermen would board their ship and go fishing, while the rest of their families are to remain working on the fields in wait.
The students were still pondering about the island and had no intention of letting up guessing its name.
But many of the senior students had already given into the immense sense of disappointment and began gazing toward the abandoned Incheon ports.
“I should have never come on this MT.”
“With the new and returning students, I figured this is a great opportunity to mingle with girls.”
Lee Hyun too, wanted to clear the many misconceptions the students thought about him being a returnee.
He wanted to get along with the freshmen and reiterate that he was also a freshman.
Or else, all that was left about spending time at school was the depression of singularity.
With this ambition in mind, he was willing to carry this out during this trap of an MT.
“Why’d he say that place.”
“Huwew, please don’t remind me…”
“Give me a life vest so I can swim away from here.”
The returning students have already guessed the location.
The professor’s slip of the tongue of the first syllable pretty much gave them the island.
‘Sil’ was that character.
The island was the tile of a film with a base audience at the box office of a whopping 10 million viewers and made the island famous.
Nowadays, not many people knew of the island itself; in the usually cases, even the returning seniors, most made the connection to the film in its stead.
“Silmido.”
“Keoheuk!”
“Why that place...”
***
For the seniors, it was exactly like they predicted.
Southwest of the Ports of Incheon, the ship arrived at Silmido!
What welcomed them were the sandy beach and the foreshore.
Their hardship was just beginning.
“Here is the MT timetable. Please keep an eye out for this; hopefully we can smoothly match the times set for the MT.”
