"Look at the list and have someone from your roommates take the key and you can all go and rest." The teacher clapped twice and we all huddled at the board to see which room and who our roommates will be.

I threw Irene a look and she just smirked at me. I knew she'd pull some strings. Jennie and Seulgi took the keys.

Our rooms will be adjacent to one another but we have our roommates mixed.

Jisoo and I will room with Irene, seulgi and yeri while jennie and chaeng will room with wendy and joy.

"You and seulgi are 2in1 now?" I raised a brow

"Oh, but what can I do when I'm weak and fragile. I easily get sick." Irene faked to stumble when someone caught her and we all shut up.

"Careful." We all stiffled our laughter as one of the elite boys assisted Irene who was perfectly fine.

But then some boys followed us up. I'm happy to see taehyung one of them.

We reached our rooms and I turned to my right. I grinned.

"Guess we're still neighbors."

"I guess we are." He smiled and I glared. I don't want other girls to see his smile.

"You know each other?" The guy who helped irene cocked his brows.

"Save the introduction for later. Let's rest." With that, we pushed our door opene but not before seeing who will occupy the room on our left.

"Nice to meet you again, lisa-ssi." He smiled.

"Wish I could say the same." I grumbled under my breath.

"Sorry, I didn't get that?" I faked a smile

"I said, I could say the same jungkook-ssi. Excuse me." I shut the door to his face

"Why are you jumpy around him?" Jisoo chuckled

"Really? You don't recognize him and some of his friends?" They turned to one another and thought about it.

"Just tell us already. You know I get impatient with the guessing." I laughed at joy.

"It's them. The one we grinded at on the dance floor." Jisoo cussed and seulgi face-palmed.

"Please don't tell me all of them are here." Jisoo mumbled

"I won't tell you then." They groaned.

"That was one time! Good thing the club was dimly lit." Joy sighed in annoyance.

"They smell trouble for me. I don't like their vibe." I said laid down on one of the bottom decks.

"I'll be on the top bunk." Jisoo climbed up. Irene and seulgi had to share a bed while joy is on the top deck too.

Someone is at our door and we're all on alert. It opened and revealed Chaeyoung.

"A little warning chae?" Seulgi scolded

"Oops." She giggled.

There was a knock, our secret knock. And the rest came in.

"You have the information?" I looked over to Irene and wendy nodded.

We all gathered in the middle of the room and formed a circle.

Triumvirate's Ten: Wendy then provided photos and I scrunched up my nose.

"Are they all royal or what? Cause damn their visuals." We all agreed to jennie's remark.

"They're a bunch of respectable people in the academy. They're apparently chill and some are even friendly but they're very competitive when it comes to the curricular activities.

"Guess we won't really clash with them since we forfeit the activities. Just thinking about it makes my blood boil." Seulgi stood up and started throwing punches in the air.

"Tell me about it. I might just stay in the room when it happens cause I might not be able to stop myself from joining." Jisoo stood up and blocked seulgi's hand and then they start to spar.

"What are the rules by the way?" I accepted chaeng's offer of juice and sipped on it.

"No killing. No torture. No breaking of bones that can lead to paralysis. No beating someone to comma." I choked.

"Damn. What are their activities to have such rules?"

"Something we definitely want to join but can't." Irene grumbled bitterly.

"How does it work? Do they compete with schools?"

"Nope. Anyone can fight anyone and anyone can help anyone." What?

"How does it end then?"

"If the remaining ones doesn't want to fight each other anymore. The ones remaining standing will have 25% more points. It will be indivually graded."

"Well that sounds... messy. Why can't they let it be fought by schools?"

"Cause where's the fun in that? If we join I think it'll be fun if we're on the same team." True. But then again we're not joining.

"So we will just cheer for them?" Yeri nodded.

"We suck!" Chaeyoung pouted.

"No we don't. Our parents sucks." Irene rolled her eyes and got on the bed.

"Well that's that. It's time for us to hit the bunks." I laid on my bed and jisoo climbed up.

"Lock the door please." Chaeyoung chuckled and locked the door before closing it.

"Now that I remember... can we be late tomorrow so we can skip introduction?" Joy peered over from the top bunk.

"We and late can't even be in the same sentence sooyoung." Irene chuckled to which the latter sighed.

"I hate introduction especially if we have to fake it. I mean I've been wanting to say Hi, I'm Park Sooyoung, single ready to mingle! Beep me up." We all chuckled at her rant

"But noooo I have to be like demure and delicate. Why can't my own mother see she raised a hoe?!" I cackled at that.

"My mother would faint seeing me behind my mask." Irene giggled

"They shouldn't be. They raised us like this." I muttered bitterly.

"But they should be proud nonetheless. We held on and kept it to ourselves. Until graduation that is." Jisoo said from above me.

"So let's just hope being here in triumvirate will have our double-life a bit easier." We all silently agreed. But we don't have a choice unless we're really provoked but hey? How bad can it be? We stopped ourselves for four years.

But then again, we can only hold on so much.
