S1 AND S5 HAD GOTTEN EVERYONE gathered in the living room and asked them if anyone hasn't claimed a room.

A few girls had said that they still didn't get a room yet, so they decided then and there.

Just as they decided, SUAH's voice rang through the speakers. "The luggage of all twenty four girls have arrived. Please retrieve them from the garden."

S1 and S5 shared a look and many girls got up from their seats. "Hey!" S5 raised her voice over the commotion. Everyone stopped in their tracks and looked over at her. "Let's go in order of number to avoid the chaos. S1 and S2 go first."

When it was time for S7 and S8 to gather their luggage, they walked in a bit of silence. S8 cleared her throat, "S7 unnie."

S7 glanced back at S8, who was walking a bit behind her, "Yeah, what's up?"

"Can i tell you a secret?" She asked, walking a bit faster to catch up with her.

S7 narrowed her eyes a little and smiled slightly, "Hmm... Yes. I mean, as long as it's not weird."

S8 looked at her with a small smile and chuckled, "Well, it might sound a little weird..." She paused, looking at her feet as she walked, "I really wanted to share a room with you, unnie. But i was a little late."

They walked in silence again until S8 looked at the girl next to her, who was smiling. S7 chuckled, "Is that your secret?" She asked as she looked over, "Well, since you told me yours... I think it's alright if i tell you one of my secrets."

They locked eyes as she spoke, "I wanted to share a room with you, too, S8." She chuckled quietly, turning her head to realise that they've reached the luggage. "I guess we were both a little late then." S7 said, leaning over to grab her bag and suitcase.

S8 just blushed. After a while, she started grunting while trying to get her suitcase because it was under a few others. "Ah." She sighed, "I can't get it."

"Lift up the other ones first, dummy." S7 laughed at her and pointed towards the suitcases on top.

"Hey, you almost put your shoes on the wrong feet earlier. You're the dummy here!" S8 exclaimed as she began taking off the suitcases on top hers.

No doubt about it, S8 was physically strong. And S7 thought it was really attractive. She couldn't help but stare as she waited. She wasn't even trying to hide it, either (but it's not like S8 would ever notice anyway, being the dense woman she is). She stood with her mouth agape and her eyes on her arms.

S8 chuckled, "Finally! Jeez." She sighed in relief once she finally got a hold of her own luggage. She smiled and pulled out the handle so she could drag it.

"You got all your stuff, unnie?" S8 asked, looking at the dazed girl. S7 blinked and nodded, "Oh, yeah. Took you long enough. Let's go."

"Hey, i didn't take that long! It could've been longer." She defended, her voice loud.

S7 laughed, "Just admit that you took longer on purpose. You can just tell me that you'd like to spend more time with me, dummy."

The playful banter continued, even after the pair arrived back at the HAUS. "I'm just saying, you shouldn't get your feet mixed up next time! That's all!" S8 exclaimed as they walked through the door.

"What took you guys so long?" S9 asked with a sweet smile, opening the door along with S10 to get their luggage.

"S8 took too long getting her suitcase." S7 rolled her eyes playfully as she took off her shoes.

S8 glared at her from behind, "My suitcase was under everyone elses!"

"Whatever you say, dummy." S7 chuckled, standing up again.

"Hey, i did not agree to this nickname. I should start calling you cross-eyed just to annoy you, then." S8 pouted as she mumbled.

S7 chuckled, "You're cute. But that doesn't excuse the fact that you're a little dumb." She teased, squeezing the younger girls cheeks with one hand before heading towards the living room.

"You're more dumber." S8 fought back as she followed behind.

"Whatever is going on here, i'm afraid i'm gonna need to agree with S8. However, it's just "dumber" no need for the "more"." S5 explained casually as she rested on the sofa.

"Smartass..." S1 mumbled against S5's lap, which she rested her head on.

S5's head snapped towards S1, "What did you say?"

"Nothing." S1 claimed calmly, her eyebrows raised in defence. S5's eyes remained narrowed.

Eventually, all twenty four girls had arrived with bags and suitcases. "Woah, your suitcase is huge, S2-yah!" S11 exclaimed as she laughed.

"We're here for two months!" She defended as she tried lifting her overly large suitcase up the stairs.

Everyone began unpacking and alast, it was nine pm. Everyone was seperated off into their own rooms, doing their own things.

One thing everyone seemed to notice, was the fact that their personal devices were taken away. Things like phones and ipads.

However, there was a huge tv in the living room, and there was a speaker with an ipad next to it, allowing them to play music whenever they'd like.

A few attempted to use the ipad for further purposes, but everything else except spotify was blocked.

"Why is it called "MOD Lake" when there's no lake?" S23 asked her roommates as she lay on the top bunk. She hung her head from above, looking down at S20 and S18.

"Huh... Good question. But i don't know." S18 said simply, biting down on her snack. "Maybe there is one but we just don't know yet." She reasoned.

S20 hummed in agreement, "That's true. Did you see how the door just appeared from nowhere while we were eating earlier? Plus, this place is worth, like, ten billion won."

Meanwhile in the white room, things were a little more chaotic. As the four girls got ready for bed, S24 looked in the mirror, "Unnie, do i look ugly?"

S16's eyebrows furrowed and her jaw dropped, "What?! I'd never believe you'd ask such a thing! You're the most beautiful person i've ever seen." She claimed sincerely.

On the other hand, one of the other two girls of the white room had overheard their conversation. "S11-yah." S13 tapped her on the arm, "Am i ugly?"

S11 turned around and blurted out an answer without much thought, "Definitely."

"Yah!" S13 shoved her with a feigned annoyed expression. S11 laughed and accepted her fate, falling onto her bed. "I'm just kidding! Mostly!"
