"Whoa." Haerin said as she entered the upstairs of one of the storage cabins, following Renjun. "This place is nice."

There were couches and one one side, facing a blank wall where a game was being projected. Near the back, Haerin spotted other games, like a ping pong and fooseball tables, along with a shelf full of board games. On the table in the middle, there was a bowl of snacks, which was probably from the shelf full of snacks beside a mini fridge.

According to Renjun, this was a secret lounge that Chenle created, only for his friends. It was locked from the outside, and Haerin noticed that Renjun had to scan his finger to get in.

"Yah, die already!" Haechan exclaimed as he aggressively pressed the buttons on the controllers while Chenle simply smiled, easily defeating the older male.

"Told you so." Renjun whispered as he plopped down on the couch beside Jeno and Jaemin.

Jisung smiled as he saw her. "Noona, come here!"

Haerin smiled back as she sat beside him, making Mark look up as the couch sank. He gave her a small nod before going back to scrolling on his phone.

"Where's Dasom?" Chenle asked the other counsellors as he placed the controller down, Renjun comforting a sulky Haechan.

"She got called by Taeyong." Jeno informed them.

"Oh, quest time!" Haechan exclaimed, becoming cheerful again at the news of Dasom's whereabouts.

"Quest?" Haerin asked. The boys turned to her, remembering that she was still new to the camp.

"Yeah, quest, kind of like a mission." Renjun began explaining. "Taeyong will call you when you get assigned one and then you have to go see the Oracle of Delphi, who will give you the prophecy for the quest and then you'll go."

"You'll go alone?" Haerin exclaimed but the boys immediately shook their heads.

"The camper that got the prophecy will be the leader. Then, they'll typically choose two others as companions." Jeno continued.

"Just two?" Haerin asked.

"Yeah, any more and the quest will probably end in a catastrophe." Jeno said with a sigh. "Which is kind of stupid because sometimes, the prophecy will send more than three."

"The prophecies are also the most cryptic things ever." Haechan said, shoving Renjun over so there was room for him on the couch. "They never make any sense and if you try to decipher them, bad things happen."

"You make it sound like quests are meant to end in disaster." Haerin muttered but the boys all heard it.

Haerin was surprised when the boys began staring at her but then she realized they weren't looking at her. They were looking at the one beside her.
