After being welcomed during lunch, they are set free to check out the environment and get ready for the pfficial start of Training the next day.
Jong Kook decides to run around the oval surrounding the Place as exercise, ignoring some girls who are shooting signals and gazes towards him as he passes by.
He even meets some of them when he takes a stop under a tree and some girls come and introduce theirselves to her.
He has to admit that he feels good with the attention. He is still smiling as he walks along the corridor on his way back to his room.
But as he passes by room 78, where he has known Ji Hyo is staying, it suddenly opens and two girls rushes out.
One is assisting the other, who is holding her bleeding nose.
He follows them with a look as they rush towards the lobby. Then he looks at the door, wondering where Ji Hyo is.
He later convinces himself that she might be out enjoying herself with some guys, for he also heard some guys admiring her earlier.
He resumes to walking to their room.
They have fun during dinner, introducing theirselves to the others, especially to the girls, that the fact that Ji Hyo is not around temporarily slips their mind.
After that, they go back to their room for the lights out.
They are already sprawled over their own beds and are covered with their spft blankets when Gary speaks.
"Has anyone seen Ji Hyo during dinner? ", he asks.
"No. ", Kwang Soo answers.
"Right. That almost slipped my mind. ", Jase Suk says.
"Do you think she went home? ", Suk Jin asks.
"Hyung, she doesn't know where this place is. ", Jong Kook states. "She slept all throughout the ride. I doubt if she even know where we are. "
"Maybe she just stayed in her room. That girl seems to be a bit of a loner. ", Dong Hoon says.
Then Jong Kook gets reminded by what he saw earlier.
"I saw her roommates coming out with one of them having a nosebleed earlier. She did not even came out to check on her.", he says.
Slam!
All of them flinch with the sound of the door slamming against the wall.
Jong Kook sits bolt upright, and as he looks around, so did everybody.
They all stare at the one who opened the door. The lights are out, so they cannonly make out the silhouette of the new arrival.
It is someone with long hair, and is wearing matching white outfit.
If Jong Kook is cowardly enough, he would have thought it was a white lady and whimpered, just like Kwang Soo and Ha Dong Hoon.
The lights turn on, revealing the form of Ji Hyo, her face blank and unreadable.
"Ji Hyo-ah, what are you doing here? ", Jae Suk asks.
Then Jong Kook remembers the rules, merits and demerits of the said event that is announced earlier.
"Get in. Quick! Close the door before someone sees you and they will knock off points! ", he says urgently.
But Ji Hyo just stares around blankly as if she just does not understand.
He hastily slides off his bed and heads towards her. He pulls her inside and closes the door.
"It's already lights off, anyone caught disobeying will be demirited from the school team's points. ", he explains.
