A Thousand Flowers
Chaptre 46. Seoraksan Charm

“What else?” izzah asked in a huff after stopping her steps.

“And I told you I would accompany you. Come to the car!” said Ihsan reminding Izzah of his deal this morning before the little mess happened.

“I'm also coming,” said Dimas raised his hand.

“Idem. Me too,” said Shin Seo Hyun did not want to lose.

Izzah breathed heavily. His calmness was disturbed. He looked at Ihsan, Dimas, and Dirga alternately. Stared waiting for anxious expectations such as quiz participants waiting for the results of the revocation of the lottery.

“Good. If everyone wants to come along, promise to be nice so that there are no more misunderstandings. Understand?” firmly Izzah with a cold look.

Ihsan, Dimas and Dirga compactly nodded like a child promising to his mother. Looking at their innocent looks, Izzah held back a smile.

“Ayo departing!” bring Ihsan.

“Back my car!” sergeant Dimas. Izzah. Dimas was silent.

“Let's be fair, revoke the draw only,” Ihsan suggested.

Izzah. In his heart he was completely snobbed.

“Aduuuh. Ihsan and Dimas are like Tom and Jerry. Waste of time,” grunts.

He looked at his watch nervously. Seeing that, Dirga quickly responded.

“Begin only. Since all of you are guests in this country, how about just take my car? Let's just say I'm the host who serves his guests,” proposed Shin Seo Hyun looking for a middle ground. He also began to get sultry with the feud Ihsan and Dimas who seemed to have not finished.

For a moment Ihsan and Dimas looked at each other. While Izzah pretended to pee, then turned back.

“OK. Agree,” said Ihsan and Dimas almost simultaneously.

Dirga smiled, then opened the front door for Izzah. With a lazy step, Izzah got into the car and sat down beside Dirga.

Ihsan and Dimas caught up and sat down and both threw their faces out the window. Dirga smiled faintly looking at the behavior of Ihsan and Dimas from the rearview mirror.

“Basic boy!” ledek Dirga in heart, driving forward the car at medium speed.

“Where are you going?” dirga asked after a long time no one spoke.

Ihsan and Dimas compactly pointed at Izzah. Shin Seo Hyun glanced at Izzah who looked engrossed in enjoying the scenery along the way. He did not hear Shin Seo Hyun's question.

“Where is our destination this time, Zah?” shin Seo Hyun said repeating her question.

“Hah?” Izzah.

“Where to?” shin Seo Hyun's.

“Oh ... Seoraksan National Park,” Izzah replied briefly.

“Hah! Are you sure, Zah? It was a long way from Seoul. We should have left earlier this morning,” exclaimed Shin Seo Hyun flabbergasted.

Dimas who was sitting in the back seat coughed, feeling insinuated by Izzah's words. Sitting at a distance next to him, Ihsan pretended not to listen and busied himself by looking out the window.

Shin Seo Hyun concentrated on steering, adding speed. His little heart felt shunned. Undeniably, the presence of the three of them had ruined Izzah's plans. They should be responsible. Let Izzah enjoy his weekend and they'll be enough bodyguards to ensure safety

that girl's.

By noon Shin Seo Hyun parked his car in the parking lot of Seoraksan National Park. It is a three hour drive from Seoul to Sokcho

Once down from the car Izzah stretched his hands and waist that felt unusually sore. After that, he walked to the counter to buy a ticket. However, his steps came to a halt when Dimas approached him with four tickets in his hand.

“I've bought nih,” said Dimas, handing over the ticket he held to Izzah.

Izzah glanced at the ticket in Dimas' hand. Quickly he took off his bag and took out his wallet. Izzah had not had time to take money from the wallet, Dimas had prevented it.

“Not necessary. Let me pay for all these tickets. Think of it as my apology for messing up your beautiful morning,” reject the delicate Dimas while holding Izzah's wallet with his fingertips.

“But ... I did not–” Izzah's speech stopped due to the appearance of Ihsan.

“Already ... just accept! Today you are the queen. So, let us bear all the costs,” said Ihsan cutting Izzah sentence.

“Iya, Zah. Today your task is just to have fun enjoying your weekend getaway which was delayed because of us,”, continued Shin Seo Hyun, supporting Dimas and Ihsan's statement. Know-how he appeared unwittingly Izzah.

Izzah still seemed to think. He feels awkward. After all, he was not used to accepting the gifts of others for no apparent reason, let alone that of men. His pride is too reluctant to owe a favor to a creature whose name is man.

“Not most need to think. Comeing! Hungry on. Had not had time for breakfast,” invite Ihsan while stepping towards the entrance. With a heavy heart, Izzah again relented and followed Ihsan's steps.

Entering the gate of Seoraksan, coolness and beauty welcome Izzah and his friends. A statue of a black bear who became the mascot of Seoraksan stood gracefully raised next to his feet, as if greeting kindly with a welcome greeting.

Walking to the left of the entrance, the mouth-watering aroma of appetizing food directly pierced the nose. Brought a gust of wind from a neatly lined restaurant. Makes Izzah's stomach sing.

Izzah tucked his butt in the chair next to Ihsan, then ordered the Vegetarian Bibimbap. Others follow the Izzah menu of options. It's nothing at all. They also felt that it was only the menu that had no doubt of its negligence.

The delicacy of Vegetarian Bibimbap plus the taste of his Gochujang sauce that maknyus really makes the tongue sway so much that Izzah forgot his frustration at the misunderstanding of Dimas and Ihsan this morning.

Finished, Shin Seo Hyun guided Izzah and his friends to Yukdam Falls. Walking on a bridge that crosses a valley, Izzah's eyes are spoiled by the beauty of the universe.

White granite cliffs rise on both sides of the valley, as protective shields preserve the charm of the river dance that swirls along the valley, as the height of the rock hills in Seoraksan. Yellow red curtains of typical autumn waving foliage beautifully adorn the banks of the river.

Following Shin Seo Hyun's guide, Izzah and his friends climbed a narrow hiking trail and climbed according to the river flow. The presence of shade from the canopy of trees along the edge of the road reduces the drop of fatigue that begins to feel. Breathing begins to hunt as the air at high altitude increases and the cold.

In the distance, the sunlight fell on the surface of the waterfall and reflected a silvery silhouette that was so stunning. What an incredible charm.

Thirty minutes have passed. The splashing sound of water sounded like a soul-boosting canticle. Six streams of water moved slowly, gently winding the surface of the rocks it passed through. Before finally falling melted themselves into a small pond that glittered in the sunlight. Reflecting the colorful trees around him. That's how Yukdam Falls spread charm that bewitches every pair of eyes that admire it.

Izzah sighed deeply, enjoying the beauty treat of the first waterfall that greeted him kindly.
