     The place was crowded and colourful as the seniors were promoting their respective clubs to the juniors that were scattered around looking for the varieties of clubs offered by the university. Aaron waded through the crowd while looking at the booths. It seemed to be no clubs that really attracted him by far. So he kept his steps ahead as there were a lot of booths and the choice was his.

There were from sports clubs to music clubs. These clubs suit the purpose of the university which are to produce well-rounded graduates. Aaron has always been a dancer and singer since he was active with the Cultural Club from his former secondary school. "Come and take a look at our booths ! We have the best singers, bands and musicians !" screamed out a guy from the left of Aaron's side. Aaron seemed to be interested and made a stop at booth. "Are you a musician ?" asked the guy. Aaron awkwardly smiled. "No i am not but i think i can sing a little. Only in the shower or karaoke, " Aaron answered while he scratched his head.

" That's great dude ! We can provide you with vocal lessons if you'd like to join us !" the guy responded excitedly, hoping for Aaron to join the club. " Hi handsome ! I overheard you when you said you were quite a singer , can we listen to your sing ?" interrupted a beautiful girl beside the guy. " Ummm.. I.. umm.. I don't think i can. i'm not at my best condition to sing," nervous by the request , Aaron mumbled but the two heard him.

"It's okay then, if you are interested please scan this QR Code, " replied the guy while showing the QR code which leads Aaron to a Form to fill about his general information in his smartphone. Aaron said thank you and walked away to continue his club hunting.

As he waded through the crowds towards the end of the lined up booths, he accidentally touched
someone's hand. A chiseled jaw man turned and looked at Aaron's face. He looked annoyed with the touch. It was clear on his face that he was not happy about it. "I am very sorry !" cried Aaron to the annoyed man. "Next time walk with your eyes open," replied the man firmly and marched away with his friends.

Aaron sighed and proceeded his way to the end. At the end of the booths, Aaron saw a booth decorated beautifully with different types of traditional props and costumes. It was very rich with colours and no one could not noticed the presence of the booth. As Aaron approached the booth a tall lean young man came forward and greeted Aaron.

" Hey, we are one of the dance groups in this University. Mostly we do traditional dances but we still do other dances such as modern dances , Kpop dances and others. So do you dance ?" questioned the man. Aaron nodded but he seemed to be not sure about his answer to the man. " I see.. I'm Ryan by the way. We don't have enough guys members right now, so i hope you would consider to join us. It is okay if you don't have any basic, we will train you to do the moves, just like I was ! I have zero experience with dancing but now I'm much better than before," explained Ryan to encourage Aaron to join the club.

A weak smile appeared on Aaron's face.He looked quite disturbed , maybe because of the touching incident just now.  "Give me some time to consider because I have so much choices to choose but thank you Ryan," Aaron replied. He walked slowly to the opposite direction. "Wow , this university has a lot of good looking students but of course they are all straight," Aaron thought to himself. Aaron seemed to be interested to know every guy he met but he knew that the impossible love would not be turned into reality.

-At the hallway towards his room-

The hallway was quite dark and gloomy. It was almost dusk so the atmosphere was quite creepy. Aaron kept his steps slow and steady but he felt like something was following him. He didn't dare to turned to his back. When he arrived in front of his room, right before he opens the door,he saw a man figure through his peripheral vision. "Hey man, I'm Tommy, Fresher , Mechanical Engineering and also your neighbour," the young man introduced himself.
