I would use into instead of to. I must add that the sentence seems a bit odd to me: perhaps the first verb form should be simply agreed.

Thank you sir. How about this:

Four teenagers, who grow up together but part ways in high school, agree for a mini reunion when they are 20-years-old. When the day comes, circumstances have changed what is meant to be a fun, relaxing sojourn into a life-menacing terror.

To this American ear, sojourn seems to jar. (No hyphens in 20 years old) (agree to or on)

That's also the case from a non-American view.

Another point worth making is that if they are 20 years old, they are not teenagers. The text should be rewritten to take this into account.

I think the guys were teens when they made the agreement (in high school).

It's a very rare word. It would be better to replace it with something more common and natural.

Thank you all for the feedback. How about this:

Four friends, who grow up together but part ways in high school, agree for a mini reunion when they are 20-years-old. When the day comes, circumstances have changed what is meant to be a fun, relaxing stay into a life-menacing terror.

Lots of problems.

Four friends who grew up together but parted ways in high school arrange a reunion (for?) when they are 20 years old. When the day comes, circumstances have changed, and what was meant to be a fun, relaxing stay turns into a life-threatening terror.

Use 'for' if they arranged the reunion before they were 20; omit it if they arranged the reunion when they

I will improvise my mistakes, sir. Thank you. Just to clarify with you, is this sentence into past tense?
