“Is it just me that feels like our club room is isolated from the other rooms? ‘Cause we’ve been walking for a while since the last club room we just passed by.”
Said Y/N as they walked down the hallway which consisted of the club rooms they had seen earlier, and noticed that Yunjin is leading them to what seems like to be nowhere.
“It is. But I assure you that it’s gonna be worth it.” She replied.
“What’s giving me the chills is that there are no rooms. It’s just us, walking down an empty hallway. We’re not getting robbed, are we?”
“I wouldn’t do something so nasty. Besides, the reason that I picked it this far is so that we wouldn’t be bothered with how noisy the others are.”
They eventually reached the clubroom, where their jaws dropped due to how their club room doesn’t feel like a club room at all.
"I know I'm still only a freshman here, but I'm definitely sure that club rooms are not supposed to look this nice."
"Of course they're not. Only I get to have a club room such as this. Be grateful that you get to be here." She smirked, before sitting down on the table which seemed to be hers.
"Did you ask for them to design it like an apartment? I feel like I’m back at my own place given how there’s literally everything needed for this to become a place to live in. Wait, can you even make such a request?”
“Oh I can. It’s because my father’s actually on the board of directors for this campus."
“I… did not know you could do that by having him as one, but okay.”
As Y/N and Chaewon settled into the club room, they couldn't help but feel awestruck by the things that surrounded them. Couches, a coffee machine, a wall filled with photography equipment, and even a small kitchenette with a fully stocked refrigerator gave the room the aura of a luxury apartment.
Chaewon chuckled at Y/N's wide-eyed expression. "How is this a club room?”
Y/N took a moment to absorb the extravagance of it all before turning her attention to Yunjin. "So, Yunjin, what kind of activities do you actually do here?"
Yunjin looked pensive for a moment, her fingers tapping on the table. "Honestly, I haven't thought about it much yet. I created this club so that I could have a room for me to rest. But we can do club activities if you like. Perhaps going somewhere for us to take pictures of?"
Chaewon chimed in, her eyes sparkling with enthusiasm. She was one who likes traveling to places, especially taking pictures. Of herself, to be exact.
As the three of them delved into discussing the potential activities for the club, they lost track of time. It eventually became a plan where they would just go traveling to places, without considering the actual club activities they should be doing as a club.
Just as they were getting into the details of planning their first event, a sudden knock on the door disrupted their conversation. The room fell silent, and three pairs of eyes widened in surprise.
Yunjin glanced at the door, her expression momentarily unsure. "Did any of you invite someone else here?"
Y/N and Chaewon exchanged puzzled glances before shaking their heads in unison. "No," they replied.
She walked up to the door, opening it to see someone standing by the door with a paper on her hand.
“May I help you?” She asked, wondering how she could find their room. The thought of being followed occurred to her, but then it couldn’t be possible since some time had passed after they went inside. Unless she waited for minutes alone outside.
“Is the club still open for admission? I would like to join the club.”
They continued their conversation at the door, leaving Y/N and Chaewon wondering who it could possibly be. It didn’t take long as Yunjin closed the door, while holding a piece of paper in her hand.
He couldn't help but be intrigued. "Who was that? What did she want?"
Yunjin sat down, leaning back in her chair. “A new member apparently. She wanted to join the club. Seems like a quiet one, doesn't she?"
Chaewon chimed in, her curiosity piqued as well. "She didn't say much, did she? All we saw was only her shadow before she left."
Yunjin nodded, a thoughtful expression on her face. "She seemed cute, so it’s okay. I’m looking forward to seeing her again tomorrow."
Him and Chaewon shared a bemused look but decided not to press the matter further for now. Instead, they turned their attention back to Minji's registration form, eager to learn more about their enigmatic new member.
Yunjin unfolded the form and began to read it aloud. "Kim Minji. That’s a nice sounding name.”
They continued reading, reaching the section that asked for the reason for joining the club. Yunjin read aloud, "To look for a small place to find friends."
Yunjin's brows furrowed slightly as she set the form aside. "Interesting. It's like she already knew our club was small and she's seeking something specific."
He leaned back in his chair, his mind still filled with questions about Minji. "Well, I guess we'll find out more about her tomorrow when she joins our first club activity."
Chaewon nodded in agreement. "I'm excited to meet her properly tomorrow."
As they wrapped up their discussion about Minji, their attention returned to planning the club's activities, the mysterious interruption from earlier all but forgotten.

The night has descended upon the campus as Y/N and Chaewon are now heading back to their places, having finished their business at the campus. He still found it hard to believe how luxurious the club room was, but he decided to accept it as a pleasant surprise.
"It's odd, isn't it?" Y/N mused as they made their way out of the building. "Having a club room that looks like a penthouse. But hey, I'm not complaining."
Chaewon chuckled in agreement. "Definitely not. This is going to be exciting!"
As they strolled through the campus, the soft glow of streetlights casting a warm ambiance, Chaewon turned to Y/N. "Hey, want to grab a quick dinner before we head back to our home?"
Y/N's stomach rumbled in response, reminding him of his empty dinner plate. "Sounds like a plan. Where should we go?"
They continued walking, heading towards the direction of a small cluster of restaurants and shops just off campus. However, Y/N suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to buy soap earlier in the day.
"Actually, Chaewon, I forgot to grab soap earlier. Mind if we make a quick stop at the supermarket?"
“Sure.” She replied, as they walked towards a nearby market.
“I’m gonna wait outside. You won’t be long, right?”
“I won’t.” He replied as he walked in, greeted by the warm atmosphere. He then noticed a woman standing nearby the cashier, seemingly looking troubled. In a split second, he stopped his steps and turned towards her.
