Mr. A's mother asked him to take the kids to Everland. After hearing their story, it turned out that it was the day of a field trip to Everland from school, but the students got lost.

When Mr. A asked the students, "You came here as a group from school, so why are you here?" the students replied, "We go to middle school in Hanam, and we made a bet among classmates that if we walk to Everland, we would get 70,000 won."

The students walked from Hanam to Yongin, passing the highway, but got lost at the end. Mr. A's mother found the kids, brought them home, and fed them sweet potatoes.

Mr. A said, "When I told them I would take them by car, they said they promised their friends to walk," adding, "But since they didn't know the way, I took them on foot as if going for a walk."

He continued that it was a pure act only possible at their age, so it was cute, but at the same time, they looked dangerous walking all night on the highway wearing black clothes, which made him worried.

Mr. A said he contacted the teachers and parents while walking with the students, and the kids got scolded severely.

He also added, "On the way, they asked if there were any local ghost stories, which was cute but made me feel mixed emotions."

After the story spread, netizens responded with comments like "Thank goodness nothing bad happened," and "It's something only that age would do, but it's dangerous, so I hope they never do it again."
