Hyeon's pov

Jung Hosung, now demoted to the 10th rank, was busy packing his belongings to vacate the gold star dorm. I had been waiting outside for what felt like an eternity—an entire hour of growing frustration.

"Are you done yet?" I called out, my irritation evident in my voice.

At last, Hosung emerged from his room, casting a curt glare in my direction before walking away with his luggage. I seized the opportunity and stepped inside the dorm, dragging my own bags along. The room buzzed with attention as I entered, every pair of eyes turning toward me, save for the indifferent gaze of Wonbin.

"Hi, I'm Eunji," said one of the students, her tone laced with an air of casual familiarity. For a moment, I wondered if she was the one from the desks in Class E.

"Um... sorry, but are you the one from Class E?" I asked, hoping to confirm my suspicion.The other students burst into laughter, their camaraderie evident. It was clear they were all friends, sharing a close bond.

"Seems like you're quite popular among the new students, Eunji," remarked one of the guys with a smirk.

"Ah, I forgot to introduce myself," Eunseok said with a friendly grin. "I'm Eunseok, probably the most normal one in this dorm. If you have any questions or problems, feel free to ask me."

"Eunseok, collecting girls as always," teased another student, who introduced himself as Sungchan.

"Oh, you're the one from the **** magazine, right? No wonder you looked familiar," I said, recognizing him.

"No, no, you've got it wrong. That's his brother. They're practically twins. I'm Anton," the third student corrected, his youthful energy palpable. He had a bright, charming demeanor that was hard to ignore.

"But it was a male magazine. Why were you reading it?" Shotaro interjected, his teasing tone light-hearted.

"I just happened to grab it by mistake," I explained, feeling a flush of embarrassment.

"Okay, let's just pretend she's telling the truth," Eunji said with a teasing smile.

"I am telling the truth!" I protested, but my defense was met with more laughter. I glanced at the girl who had yet to introduce herself.

Noticing my gaze, she spoke up. "I'm Minyoung. Wonbin's girlfriend." Her introduction seemed oddly placed, but I nodded, trying to suppress a laugh at the awkwardness of it all.

"Let me show you to your room," Eunji offered, and I nodded in agreement. Anton quickly volunteered to help with my luggage, his eagerness palpable.

To my surprise, the gold star students turned out to be quite welcoming and friendly, a stark contrast to my initial expectations.
