Hoseok and Jimin had finished unpacking and arranging the last of their belongings in their new shared apartment and dramatically threw themselves on the large sectional in exhaustion.

"Finally!" Hoseok sighed.

"We still have to go grocery shopping, we haven't stocked the kitchen with anything. We've got nothing to eat." Jimin reminded, he too still sprawled on his side of the couch.

Hoseok finally sat up, reaching for his phone sitting on the coffee table, "We can go shopping tomorrow, let's just eat out, or do you wanna order in," he asked as he looked up food joints near their location.

"Let's just have something delivered, I'm too tired to go out now."

Hoseok and Jimin started their day early as they had a busy day planned. First order of business was breakfast. They sat and enjoyed some breakfast sandwiches and hot chocolate in a nearby cafe before making their second stop, the grocery store. A fully loaded basket later, they were done. Groceries bagged and paid for, they made their way back to the car, loading the bags into the trunk, some of the bags even made it into the backseat, and headed back home.

It took multiple trips back and forth to get the groceries from the car to the apartment, but it was made easier thanks to the elevator being only a few steps from both the front door and apartment door.

Kitchen stocked, they decided to have a simple lunch of ramen before heading out again, this time for the University.

After hours of driving, and car karaoke, Tae and Kookie finally arrived in Ilsan. It took them another thirty minutes to find their hotel. Once checked in, they made their way to their shared room. Using the key card to unlock the door, they both made their way inside and starfished on their beds, tired from the drive.

After resting for an hour and unpacking their luggage, they decided to head out for lunch. They walked the streets for a while until a sign caught their eyes, making them immediately laugh.

WE GOT NOODS

There was no way they were gonna eat anywhere else, not with a sign like that! So, still chuckling, the boys entered the ramen shop.

Towards the end of their meal, Tae received a phone call from one of the festival coordinators asking if they could drop by the university for their costume fittings, to which he agreed, stating both he and Jungkook would be there.

Lunch soon came to an end, and after taking a selfie outside the restaurant in front of the sign to post on social media with the caption, ' They got some good noods 🍜🤣 ', they climbed back into the car, chuckling again at the funny, clever name of the eatery and headed for the University.

"Whatcha think, nice right?"

Jimin nodded in the affirmative at his hyungs question.

The studio was indeed impressive...and very big. The wood floors were polished to a shine, the natural light from the skylight above made the white walls bright, one wall fully graffitied artistically, the other covered with large mirrors from floor to ceiling. Off toward the side of the studio was an open arched wall, each side lined with art of dancers silhouettes in various dramatic poses painted in bright splotches of colors on white canvas. Inside was a lounge area for the students to use during breaks. The back wall had rows of large windows, a couch with bright colored throw pillows seating beneath them. To the right was an accent brick wall covered with decorative graffiti of music and silhouettes of dancers in various bright pops of colors. Scattered in the center of the room were a few tables and chairs of the same wood grain as the polished floors, their frames of black metal. To the left was a butcher block-like bar lined with three stools. Off to the side were the bathrooms each with a decal of a male or female dancer.
