IT WAS JUST AFTER LUNCH TIME and everyone was full.

SUAH's robotic voice rang through the whole HAUS, startling everyone and making them freeze on the spot.

"S7," Those who sat in the living room, which was everyone, turned their heads towards the girl sitting on the sofa.

"And S8." Then their heads turned towards the girl who sat on the opposite side of the sofa.

The two girls' looked at eachother with a knowing, worried, look. S8 sighed, "Oh no..."

"Please step outside of the HAUS. Do not bring any belongings and head straight out immediately. Do not worry, this is only temporary. But due to breaking the rules, this is manditory." SUAH's voice disappeared and the HAUS was silent.

S11 was confused and thought aloud, "Breaking the rules? What...?-"

"C'mon, Y-" She paused and blinked, "S8, let's go." S7 stood up with a slightly worried expression, holding her hand out for S8 to take.

"Wait, what did you guys do?" S5 asked, voicing out everyone's thoughts. It was clear that nobody expected anyone to break the rules so quickly.

S7 sighed quietly, "Uh..."

S8 took her hand eventually and cleared her throat, "We should've seen it coming, unnie." She chuckled bitterly, "Keep your names to yourselves if you don't wanna get punished, 'kay?" She said as she turned her head to look at everyone.

They walked towards the door and slid on a pair of slippers each, leaving the other twenty two girls stunned and confused.

"They told eachother their names?" S22 asked, a little confused. As a few confirmed that they did, she nodded in understanding.

S18 cocked her head to the side, "Is that it...? What's the big deal anyway?"

S14 shrugged her shoulders, "Who knows? It's not like we can ask anyone..."

S24 sighed, "I don't blame them for doing it. It's a bit difficult keeping it to myself aswell, sometimes. Plus it's not like they knew they'd be getting a punishment for it."

"I know... How'd they even find out...?" S2 wondered aloud, making everyone in the living room turn silent.

The opening of the door snapped them out of their reverie, making them look up towards the door.

"Bye, unnies!" S12 shouted, waving at the girls who were about to leave the HAUS. Everyone followed suit and looked through the living room window as they wandered mindlessly through the garden.

They heard the door lock behind them and silence creeped among the garden, between the two girls. "Since we already know our names, we don't need to keep calling eachother S7 and S8, right?" S8 asked, kicking a stray stone on the concrete.

"I'm going to continue to call you by your name, Yubinie. We already broke the rule, didn't we?" The older girl replied, sitting on a deck chair.

S8 pouted her lips and furrowed her eyebrows, grabbing her hair in her hands, "Agghhh. This is so annoying." She sighed and flopped onto the deck chair beside S7.

S7's stomach grumbled and she placed her hand above it, "I'm already so hungry... Do you think there's anything left near the barbeque?"

They went to check the cabinets by the barbeque. Over and over, as if anything would appear if they looked hard enough. Yet they gave up when they realised that their wishes had no chance of coming true.

S8 groaned and sprawled across the grass, facing upwards, planning to fall asleep and waste time. "God knows how long we'll be out here... I'm going to sleep, Naky-unnie."

S7 managed a chuckle, "Goodnight, Yubinie."

"How long do you think they'd be out there for?" S16 asked, her worry for the two girls evident in every aspect.

S5 looked up from the game of chess she was winning against S6, "My guess is they probably wont be let back in until tomorrow morning."

S1 hummed in thought, "Yeah, i agree. But that means that we aren't allowed outside since they locked the door."

"It also means that they won't have dinner." S17 furrowed her eyebrows, looking out the window, "Poor unnies."

"S6, you can't move that there." S5 said quietly with a shake of her head. S6 frowned and placed her piece somewhere else.

"Ugh, it just makes me want to know all of your names, too." S4 pouted as she slumped against the sofa.

S3 looks at the older girl with a sad smile, having the same thoughts, "Yeah, me too."

"Well, i guess it'll be fun to figure them out by the end of the two months." S13 tried staying on the positive side. "Ooh, how about i name you myself?" She chuckled, pointing at S11, "You look like a Bobby."

"Yah!" S11 sat upright and grabbed the nearest cushion, hitting S13 with it.

"Hey, don't be too violent in here. Anyone could get hurt." S1 told her, holding back a laugh, even though she was serious.

"Sorry, unnie." S11 held her hands up in defence, resorting to tickling S13 instead.

As the the girls played around, being noisy and loud, S14 and S15 were in their own world. They were playing a card game quietly in the corner of the living room, on the floor. Well, as quiet as you can be in the midst of twenty two chaotic girls.

"Hey, you're totally cheating!" S14 exclaimed, pointing at the cards in the taller girl's hands.

"I am not cheating!" S15 fought back, unable to hold her laughter. "You just suck at this game, i guess."

"Or maybe you're just too good." S14 sighed with a small smile, leaning back onto her hands.

S15 stared at her blank-faced just because she wanted to look at something beautiful. But, S14 felt like she was being judged. If it was anyone else, she probably wouldn't have cared, but since it was S15... It felt like she needed to be up to her standards.

Although it's only been two days in this HAUS, and since they had even met eachother, S15 was known as the Goddess.

According to the girls who lived with her, it's not because she's an all-powerful being (although technically she is), but because she acts like she is one.

Since she acts like one, S14 felt a little intimidated. And not because she wants competition, but because she wants to get closer to her.

S15 smiled, "Perhaps i am just too good." She sat upright and dramatically flicked the hair away from her face and over her shoulder.

S14 couldn't help but roll her eyes, "Alright, alright..." She smiled, "How about a game of Uno next?"

S15's eyebrows raised and her arms stretched out, cracking her knuckles. Her mouth formed an 'o' shape as she stretched her neck too, "It's about to get heated up in here!"

"Uh oh..." Was all S14 said as they begun playing Uno.
