How It Should Have Ended Part2 (The Continuation)

Chapter 15 (Bonus Chapter): The Trip

...

"What's wrong?" He hurriedly got out of his car and walked towards Jan Di. She stood in front of her place, a small backpack dangling on her arm. Her face lit up when she saw him walking towards her. She gave him a quick peck on the cheek and smiled.

"Nothing's wrong," she answered.

His forehead wrinkled. "Yi Jung told me you needed me."

"I always need you," she winked, and he couldn't help but blush. She gave an amused laugh. "Aww, why are you blushing? What are you thinking?" She elbowed him teasingly, which made him redder.

Before he could reply, a van pulled up in front of them. Jan Di and Ji Hoo cocked their heads to the side, examining the van. It was an old white van and rusted all over. There were flowery curtains that hung on the back windows. Half the body was covered in stickers with sayings on them. It looked like the van came from the 60s. Maybe it was from the 60s.

The door opened and Ga Eul jumped out of the passenger side. Jan Di's eyes widened.

"Ga Eul!" She ran to hug her friend. "Why are you in this van? Whose vehicle is this?"

The driver's side opened and out jumped a grinning Yi Jung.

"It's ours for the weekend!" he proudly declared. Then he frowned. "Well, actually, I bought the thing so I guess it is ours forever. But I have no intention of keeping it past the weekend."

"Why would you buy something like this?" Ji Hoo asked him in disbelief. "If you needed money, you could always come to me, you know?"

Yi Jung laughed. "I wanted this specific van. I saw it last week and had to beg the owner to sell me this vehicle." Ji Hoo continued to stare at him as though he had lost his mind.

Just then, a black sportscar pulled up and Woo Bin and Hye Jin got out. Woo Bin was grinning from ear to ear while shaking his head at the sight before him.

"So, this is the van you've been boasting about?"

Yi Jung beamed proudly. "Our carriage awaits us."

"Huh?" Jan Di glanced questioningly at Ga Eul. "What's going on?"

Ga Eul winced as they all crowded around her. "You see, he's been...watching a lot of KDramas since we saw Strong Woman Do Bong Soon." Everyone stared at her, gaping. "And he kind of saw this in one of the series and wanted to umm...copy it."

Jan Di couldn't help but giggle. "You got him addicted to KDramas?"

Ga Eul rolled her eyes. "Actually, he's been watching more than me lately."

"So, what does this have to do with us?" Ji Hoo asked again, utterly perplexed.

Yi Jung opened the van's sliding door and gestured for them to go in. "Guys, we're going on a camping trip. To the mountains!"

Nobody moved.

Yi Jung groaned. "Come on guys, we're all off work. I've prepared everything! We're going to do the same things I saw in the drama – and believe me, they all bonded and had a blast! It will be a weekend you will never forget!"

"But..." Hye Jin protested. Her big, brown eyes went wide with panic. "We only brought clothes – what about our camping gear?"

Yi Jung smiled smugly. He walked to the back of the van and opened the trunk.

They all stared at the stacks of sleeping bags (all with tags still on), a huge tent (still in its box), and a couple of backpacks stuffed to the brim with camping equipment.
