My phone ring at 4 in the morning. I ignore the first call, but I get another call again. Without even looking at the caller, I answer it.

"Hello" With my half asleep voice.

"Chaengie!"

"Yes?"

"Put your jacket, wear comfortable clothes and wear your snickers, bring your car key as well, meet me downstairs now" It's Samuel. Really he wants to meet at this hour? I wash my face for a while, wear my glasses, no time to wear my contact lense and go downstairs.

There he is. I yawn when I look at him.

"What are you doing at this hour?"

"Car key?"

I give him. He escorts me to my car, passenger seat. He's on the driver seat.

"YA, YA, Where do you want to take me? You don't have a license!"

"'I have. American driving license" By that, he starts the engine and we leave my building. It's still dark out there.

"Sam, where do you want to go"

"Sleep, I'll wake you when we arrive"

I am too sleepy to have an argument with him. I better just sleep.

"Chaengie, wake up" He's waking me up. I yawn and look around.

"Where are we?"

"Here, wear this" He gives me a windbreaker, a cap, and a masker. He also wears a windbreaker. It's still dark out there.

"Come on" He order to get up from the car. Well, we are in the parking lot, surrounded by nature. I don't know where it is.

Samuel held my hands and we walk through a forest with stairs on it. No, don't tell me.

"Hiking?" I ask when I already know the answer.

"No, trekking"

"Really, at this hour? YA KIM SAMUEL" I suddenly wake up.

"Come on"

I then see a sign "Achasan". We're in Achasan Mountain. Oh, my God, this kid take me to a mountain at this hour. Yes, I love to do sports, but not at this hour tho. I lazily walk down the trail. I am perfectly awake now. I quietly hike through the peak.

"Not that I don't want to talk to you, but when we talk, it's reducing our oxygen. Just tell me when you want a drink, Okay?"

"Hem" I answer him with humming. I realize that he's already prepared for this as he wears a big bag on his shoulder, also he prepares this windbreaker for me. This kid.

Actually, it's an easy trail tho. It's the first time I go to Achasan. The mountain is so beautiful, so many resting places for a hiker. I bet it's beautiful to go at noon. At this hour I barely see anything cause it's still dark. Samuel tells me to lean on his jacket if I tired, yes I lean to his jacket. I'm not tired, I am just sleepy. We hike for about 45 minutes. We reach the peak, I feel close to the peak already.

There's also a group of old hiker there. Samuel then stops at one spot. Guess it's the quietest. No other hiker surrounding us. I stand, I could see Seoul from this point, there's still lamps around it. I check my watch, it's almost 6. Sun starting to rise a bit, I just see its light from afar. Not fully rise. Samuel then puts a mat for me to sip. We sit there facing the sun. He takes out his thermos, at give me a warm coffee.
