Chapter one :: Preparation
Trick or TripJisoo stuffs her nth pair of training suits and oversize hoodie into her suitcase, while glancing at her wardrobe to see if she needs to pack more clothes for her 30-day trip. Jennie helps to film while Lisa keeps Dalgom, Jisoo's dog out of the way because the smart dog is slowing things down by pulling clothes out of her carrier.
"Clothes, makeup?" Jennie asks.
"Check!"
"Shoes?" Rosé points at Jisoo's favourite Vans
"Packed. 3 pairs plus that one I'm wearing." Jisoo assures her.
"Cash, camera?" Lisa holds up a compact digital camera.
"Ah, I didn't think about that! Would you put that in my bag?" Jisoo tosses her empty backpack to Lisa.
"Calm down Jisoo. You are not going to outer space." Jennie gets up to film from another angle, showing the huge pile of clothing dumped on the bed.
"You're right. I'll just go shopping." Jisoo takes her bulky black padded jacket out of the carrier before closing it.
"I'll just wear the darn jacket."
Jennie shakes her head at the ridiculous idea to pack the winter wear when summer is approaching. But yet, you can never be too sure because she may be going to a cold country.
"Ah, my precious books." Jisoo shoves her collection of novels into her backpack.
"Done! See you soon Trip or Trick!" Jisoo waves to the camera excitedly.
NCT dorm
The quiet and calm Taeyong takes out 5 neatly folded boxy shirts from the drawer and places them on top of his luggage. He counts them once again to make sure he has the same amount of underwear, pants, socks, handtowels and even sleepwear.
"1, 2, 3, 4, 5. There you go." Taeyong beams while he colour coordinates the content of his belongings. Haechan, his roommate is growing tired of the leader's meticulous habit. He lies down on his tummy to film, while making some side comments to encourage the shy leader to speak to the camera.
"Hyung, who's your ideal travel partner among NCT members?"
"Hmm, Taeil?" Taeyong giggles at Haechan.
"Hyuuung...." he whines in front of the camera. "I thought you cherish me, your faithful roommate and servant."
"Of course I do. I chose Taeil because he's older and doesn't need extra care, which means he's my ideal travel companion."
"Makes perfect sense. I wouldn't enjoy my vacation with someone bothersome." Haechan blurts out without thinking that he is that whiny person who needs constant care from the leader.
"Next question, which girl group member would you rather be with on a stranded island?" Taeyong glares at Haechan while he sticks out his tongue behind the camera. He's challenging Taeyong to answer the tricky question most idols avoid.
"I choose.. Lee Hyori sunbaenim. I watched her show and she seems dependable and would certainly survive on a desert island." Taeyong confidently answer while promoting another show by TVN. (Let's assume it is J)
"Of course our scaredy cat leader needs someone strong. Hehehe." He jokes. "So, what are you most looking forward to?"
"This is my first time travelling with non NCT members or staffs so I don't know what to expect. I hope I can get along with them and have fun." Taeyong answers in the most serious way.
"Taeyong hyung! Trip or Trick members! Fighting!!" Haechan grabs his final chance to be on camera. "Byeee!!"
