The airfare, lodgings, and meals were all free!
“Oppa, take care.”
“Yes, I’ll be sure to bring back souvenirs.”
His sister went to see Lee Hyun off at the Incheon International Airport.
Stewardesses were busy running around and showing foreigners where their luggage was.
“Indeed…”
It was a whole new world for Lee Hyun.
He came thirty minutes ahead of the appointed time for Jong Bom Ah to arrive.
“So you’re here.”
“Yes sahyung, I came early.”
“Do you have your passport?”
“Passport?”
Lee Hyun was puzzled.
He didn’t understand since it wasn’t needed unless one was leaving Korea.
“You need a passport to go to Jeju Island?”
Jong Bom Ah quickly answered him.
“We need to ride a plane.”
Lee Hyun only roughly knew what it was like to go on a plane.
One would know what it was like if they see a drama or a movie.
“I see, so it’s different from public transportation like a bus and I can’t just ride it.”
“This is a plane.”
Lee Hyun and Jong Bom Ah did not have much luggage other than a small bag. Lee Hyun checked the tickets that he had and they said Cairo, Egypt.
“Sahyung!”
“What?”
“This plane is going to Cairo?”
Lee Hyun roughly had heard about Egypt once.
“Isn’t this plane going to Southeast Asia?”
“…”
The look on the faces of the other passengers was priceless.
‘How does he not know?’
‘Does he not even know where Egypt is?’
“As you know we are going to Jeju Island.”
“Exactly.”
“The plane directly to Jeju Island is expensive.”
“So you’re saying that… It’s like taking a bus and stopping in the middle.”
This sounded far too absurd to the other guests at the boarding gate.
To say that Jeju Island was a stop along the way to Egypt!
However, Jong Bom Ah looked very rough and had intimidating eyes so no one had the courage to tell the truth. So Lee Hyun took the flight to Cairo.
After the plane took off, a flight attendant began to walk around and pass out food and drinks. They simply passed by where Lee Hyun and Jong Bom Ah was. As soon as they got onto the plane they had fallen into deep sleep. The two of them crossed the sea past Central Asia and were on the plane heading to Cairo.
***
Cairo Airport.
Summer was hot in Korea, but it was incomparable to Egypt.
The hot air and scorching sun caused sweat to run down their foreheads.
There were not traces that this was a Korean airport since there were only Egyptians wearing turbans. He was not stupid enough to believe this was Jeju Island.
“Sahyung! I think this is the wrong place.”
There was deep suspicion in Lee Hyun’s eyes.
He had fallen asleep on the plane thinking that he would be in Jeju Island.
Then along with the other foreigners, they went to the immigration procedures.
Jong Bom Ah said.
“That was only part of the truth…it’s a tradition of the dojo to have its members go out to see the real world.”
“…”
“We deliberately planned this trip a long time ago.”
To think that he would be somewhere like this. From how it was explained, he could not be mad at Jong Bom Ah. There was more to learning the sword than just the physical part. Every cell in the body had to be alive in order to wield the sword.
Traveling overseas in order to properly learn the way of the sword! Even after leaving on the trip, despite the other troubles, there was nothing to regret.
Moreover, it was traveling abroad. He did not have any chances to see the world out of Korea.
Lee Hyun asked to confirm.
“This is…free right?”
“Of course it’s free.”
“Whew.”
Lee Hyun let out a sigh of relief.
Even if it was annoying and cumbersome, since it was free he could not be angry.
“Everything is free so just relax and enjoy. Kuehahahaha! It’s a journey and others are paying for you, enjoy!”
“Where do we go now?”
“For now, we get on a helicopter.”
A helicopter was waiting for them at the Cairo Airport.
They flew past the dry air and sand of the Sahara Desert in Egypt to see charming buildings of brick and stone.
***
North Africa.
Two four wheel drive jeeps were ready for Lee Hyun and Jong Bom Ah.
The jeep was opened on the roof and had a leather tent that could be opened and closed easily.
“Youngest.”
“Yes, Sahyung?”
“Do you know how to drive?”
“I have never driven before, but I have ridden a motorcycle a bit…”
He did not have a driver’s license. He had driven a motorcycle to deliver food for a chinese restaurant once.
“Do you have one?”
“It doesn’t matter since there are not traffic police, just don’t hit anything.”
Jong Bom Ah threw him the car keys.
The airfare, lodgings, and meals were all free!
“Oppa, take care.”
“Yes, I’ll be sure to bring back souvenirs.”
