They had to go to work, so after they left, Lisa pulled at Jungkook's hand and asked, "Where are we going today?"

"We're going deep into the mountains today."

"Deep into the mountains?" Lisa froze.

She didn't seem to know what sort of new plans Jungkook came up with, but she has always been pleasantly surprised by his plans.

She has liked everything he planned... this was quite clear.

Jungkook drove along the Seoraksan Mountain range with Lisa for about an hour or so.

The road became harder and harder to drive on, and just as Jungkook stopped the car, he pointed towards an averagely sized opening and said, "We can't drive up that road, so we'll have to walk in."

"Uhm... it looks dark, there shouldn't be any ferocious beasts, right?" Lisa felt a bit scared.

"There aren't any, trust me, I'm here."

"That's true, other beasts won't show up with you around, because you're the biggest beast of them all." Lisa covered her mouth as she laughed.

Jungkook, "-_-"

"You're pretty arrogant, just wait to see how I punish you tonight." Jungkook raised his finger and flicked Lisa's head dotingly.

"I'm on my period, you can't..." Lisa was full of pride.

"Huh? Baby, you seemed to be mistaken, when I said punish, I meant tickling you."

"Uhm... that." Lisa felt somewhat awkward.

"What else did you think I was talking about?' Jungkook smiled teasingly.

"Nothing, come, hurry up, what are we waiting for?" Lisa changed her tone and topic when she realized that she couldn't beat Jungkook in this conversation.

Jungkook and Lisa held hands as they walked into the mountains...

The mountain path was very rugged, but it became more interesting when they saw there were wooden steps.

"These steps are beautiful, they must have been pricey to build," Lisa exclaimed as she looked down.

"These finished not long ago. I got them to design it, and it was expensive to build. Normal wood wouldn't do the job since it would corrode over long periods of time and become too dangerous, so I ordered them to carefully craft these stairs with special wood."

"Huh? You ordered someone to design it...? Why?" Lisa was confused.

Lisa thought that Jungkook wasn't such a careless big spender who would use large amounts of money to build stairs inside the depth of the woods.

There must be a reason behind his actions...

"Because... you'll find out when you see it." Jungkook remained mysterious, refusing to tell her why.

"Ever since we came here, you've always been acting all mysterious around me." Lisa looked at Jungkook as she thought it was funny. She had no idea what he planned on doing.

Lisa knew that he was acting all mysterious again, and there might be another surprise that was to come.

After they walked about three miles of the mountain path, Lisa was shocked by the beautiful scenery in front of her eyes...

Yellow tree leafs filled both sides of the path, and because birch trees turned golden in the fall, it was very beautiful.

However, after three miles, the yellow suddenly turned into a sea of deep red...
