Chapter 20: The Village

They we're struggling to get out but it became more tighter, they suddenly realise they were surrounded by men with spears pointing at them.

"Who goes there?" A husky voice asked.

They suddenly stopped as they heard a Korean voice speak.

"You can speak Korean?" Mina asked under the other girls.

It was a large shouldered man with weaved cotton clothes, he had scar markings on his arm. It was quite intimidating sight at first.

"I said who goes there?!" His voiced became angrier.

"I'm Mina and we're not here to harm anyone." She replied.

He signalled his people to hold.

"Why should we trust you?" He kneeled on the floor with his face right up to Mina's.

"We want to get off this island and maybe you can help."

"Is that it?"

"Also we're trying to find this treasure." She said quickly.

He gave them a concerning look and then signalled his men to release them.

The girls stood up, huddling together. He went up to them, "Come and try no funny business."

The girls nodded silently and walked with them.

They found themselves in a village where there were kids, women and men watching them. Near the side of the village was a river with boats and people fishing.

"I never knew there was village here." Jisoo looked with surprise.

"I thought you know this island?" Dahyun asked.

"Yeah I never explored the other half."

They continued to walk on, seeing these people watching them felt uncomfortable.

"Are you sure we can trust them?" Nayeon whispered to Jengyeon.

"They know the island better than us." She replied.

They stopped inside a house made of wood and logs, inside sat a man who looked the leader with marking all over him and beyond his time. The man who lead them were talking in another language that they couldn't understand.

The girls still huddled together, whilst they were waiting around them were pictures of each famous cities. Paris, Japan, Korea, London and much more.

"What brings you here?" The leader spoke in Korean as well.

"We were on a ship and was washed up on this island, we want to get out off of here." Jihyo spoke.

"Why do you look like explorers?" He pointed at the explorer clothes that they were wearing.

"I gave it to them since I had some spare, I was trying to find this treasure when I got into a helicopter crash." Jisoo answered.

"So one of you is trying to find this treasure whilst the others are trying to get off." He have them a concerning look.

"I'm sorry to interrupt but why do you have pictures of famous cities when you are kilometres away from everything?" Dahyun asked, pointing at the walls.

He stood up walked up and went up to one of the pictures.

"We all thank this man, it was thirteen years ago when he came here, his name is still written somewhere." He took a photo which was inside a drawer, it was the leader and another man with him.

"We call him Mr Park, he was the one who taught more on Korean and a little bit of English." He continued.

"He gave us all of these pictures to remember him by."

Everyone was amazed but one girl was more shocked than them.

"Jihyo are you okay?" Tzuyu asked putting her hand on her shoulder.

"That's... That's my father."
