[] : I'm not sure if y'all already knew this but to clarify, when said "whatever money don't use you get to keep", he's referring to the staff so it means the staff gets to keep 's leftover money. Hope that clarifies something from the last chapter.

:

The chapter has hints towards the boys' secret mission as the boys attempt to clear their missions! At the end of the chapter, please comment inline what you think might be each boys' secret mission and their secret friend.

If you have absolutely no clue, that's okay! But if you think that you're certain about the boy's mission and secret friend, then comment down a [ LOCK-IN ] behind your guess and your answer will be locked in. If your locked in answer is correct, the boy will thus be eliminated at the end of the trip. However, do keep in mind that you are not allowed to change your locked in answer for said boy so think carefully before locking in. You may refer to the example below. Do keep in mind that not every boy attempted to clear their mission in this chapter.

Eleven in the morning, a light shower pours down on the , a blessing for the boys of who take advantage of the weather to sleep in, and a curse for the staff team who were sent to sleep outdoors the previous day.

Making full use of the chilly weather, our lazy bugs, , , and still sleeping in bed while the hyung line remains in the kitchen preparing breakfast. Pan-tossing the last kimchi pancake to the plate, and garnishing it with bits of seaweed and the meal is finally complete.

"Please come down for breakfast!", called out to the younger boys yet only silence responds back to his polite request. Sighing, and both walk upstairs to get the boys to rise and shine and get ready for the day.

Walking into the gloomy room, is greeted with a sight of lying on top of , both the boys sound asleep.

Slapping 's back, scolds the kid "Yah, I told you to wake up 30 minutes ago how could you fall asleep?" Shocked and awaken from his nap, gets up frowning grumpily and does the same.

Going back 35 minutes ago, we see waking up in bed and walking out of the room to the kitchen and into the kitchen to see teaching how to make kimchi pancakes. "Oh you're up... finally.", says as he acknowledges the younger member's presence while he takes a sip from his glass of orange juice. "Can you go and wake the others up?"

still half asleep, nods slightly as he makes a u-turn back into his room. "Yah, get up.", nudges the older member in an attempt to wake him up but to no avail. Giving up, collapses back onto the bed and onto before falling back asleep.

Kicking the two out of the room, sighs as he watches dragging a reluctant out of the room by his collar as a very amused watches by.

Wasting no time in freshening up, the boys all gather at the dinner table to have their kimchi pancakes only for their peaceful atmosphere thrown into the oblivion as the infamous staff self invites himself to take the seat next to . The war between the boys and the staff members has once again begun.

"That's ₩5,000 (US$5) to sit at our table.", extorts the staff, seeing an opportunity and causing the latter to panic and lose its calm and collected composure. "No, we're sharing the table.", he argues back.

"Well, I won the entire villa from you guys because you were incapable. So you shouldn't even be in the house. Now be grateful that you're even indoors and cough up the ₩5,000 or eat your breakfast on the floor.", nonchalantly speaks and he slides a piece of pancake into his mouth while looks at with his eyes wide open, mouthing "He speaks?"

Unwilling to let his pride down, the staff member slams a ₩5,000 note on the table which gleefully slides across the table and into his pocket.

"Are you guys going to walk out of the forest to the street market later?", the asks with playful intent lurking in his eyes leading confusion arising among the boys. The boys were set to travel to the street market later that day. However, as the s were in charge of their finances, it is clear that they would also be in charge of the boys' transportation - an additional advantage for the staff members to use against the boys to extort them for more money.

Catching onto the 's game, calmly chuckles as he maintains his composure. "How much are you going to charge us for the transportation fare?", he asks.

"How about ₩45,000 (USD 40) for a two way trip?", the makes his first offer causing to scoff in slight disbelief. "It's actually in fact, cheaper than most taxi and Uber rides." As much as wanted to refute, the did make a very valid point. Compared to alternative methods of transportation from the to the street market, the offer from the staff team is considered a steal. But the price that the staff team gave would almost decimate their budget for the day.

"₩35,000.", bargains, causing who is trying to feed a piece of pancakes to accidentally drop it, amused by the younger member's shameless antic.

"...₩40,000.", the calls out in an attempt to raise the price closer to its original.

"₩32,500.", bargains again.

"₩37,000."

"Everytime you try to negotiate, I'll go lower and lower."taunts. "₩30,000."

"Fine, fine. ₩30,000...", finally gives in, inviting cheers from the boys as reaches for his wallet to pass him the money but is quickly interrupted by . "... only if you guys win the game we have prepared outside."

"What if we don't win?", asks as he withdraws his arm, changing his mind last second before passing the his money.

"You guys can choose to walk there or pay ₩45,000."

"Let's just play their game.", speaks confidently. "If we lose, we'll just walk. Let's not give them a dime."

ANARCHY (6) : STAFF (5)

The next round pitted against "I'm going to lose count of my spins so help me count okay?", pleads his group mates unconfidently as they cheered him on before walking up to the field of balloons.

The round was very evenly matched, with and both finishing their spins at the exact same time and slashing their balloons at the exact same time.

With the last match on and 's hand, the two men struggled to hide their anxiousness. Will this match allow to win the car ride for the group or will be able to restore his pride by taking his revenge on who exploited his life story to win last night's game.

As the timer started, both men wasted no time and immediately started spinning. Both teams on the side counting their spins for their player respectively... only for to yell in shock all of the sudden as they witness a tragedy.

While spinning halfway, 's colourblindness glasses all of the sudden flew off his face. As soon as he finished spinning, he picked up his prop katana and yelled out in confusion as he looked at the balloons.

"THEY'RE ALL YELLOW!", exclaims at the top of his lungs in confusion, so loud that even the drones above the were able to capture his voice.

and both squat down on the floor in despair, prepared to lose this round but was immediately riled up by the crowd again as the boys screamed once again.
