As the morning sun filtered through the curtains of room 205, Joon-ho and Kang-dae bustled about, preparing for the long-awaited orientation day. With Tae-young already vanished, presumably off to the main hall, the remaining duo hurriedly readied themselves for the day ahead.
Joon-ho, his heart pounding with nervous excitement, double-checked his outfit and supplies, his mind racing with thoughts of what the day might bring. Kang-dae, equally eager, moved with purpose, his determination evident in the way he meticulously arranged his belongings.
Meanwhile, Kyu, ever the picture of calm, lounged on his bed, seemingly unfazed by the impending events. The atmosphere in the room buzzed with anticipation, reminiscent of the eager anticipation felt on the first day of school.
"Hey, did you grab your student ID?" Joon-ho asked, a note of anxiety creeping into his voice as he double-checked his bag by the door.
Kang-dae paused, his brow furrowing in concern.
"I think I left it on the desk. Let me grab it real quick," he replied, darting over to retrieve the crucial card.
With their preparations complete and their spirits high, the trio made their way out of the dormitory and towards the main building, where the orientation activities awaited. As they walked, the campus buzzed with the energy of countless students, all eager to embark on this new chapter of their lives.
As they exchanged last-minute preparations and shared nervous laughter, the trio couldn't help but feel a sense of camaraderie amidst the flurry of activity. Conversations flowed effortlessly as they discussed their hopes and expectations for the day, each expressing a mixture of excitement and trepidation.

At the same time, Kang-dae's eyes sparkled with anticipation as he imagined the possibilities that lay ahead. Ever the voice of reason, Kyu offered the tranquillity of silence, his calm demeanour a grounding presence amidst the excitement.

Everywhere he looked, he saw the promise of new friendships, academic challenges, and personal growth. It was a moment he had eagerly awaited—a chance to immerse himself in the rich tapestry of university life and forge lasting memories with his fellow students.
Even Kyu, typically laid-back and reserved, couldn't help but be swept up in the excitement of the occasion. As he meandered through the throng of students, he found himself caught up in the infectious enthusiasm that permeated the air. Though he remained outwardly nonchalant, inwardly he felt a flicker of anticipation, a quiet thrill at the prospect of what lay ahead.

As Joon-ho found his spot amidst the bustling intersection, he glanced around, scanning the crowd for any sign of Soo-jin's arrival. The sea of students flowed around him like a river, each person swept up in their journey. With a sense of anticipation tingling in his veins, Joon-ho checked his phone, hoping for a message from Soo-jin.
Finally, a familiar ping signalled the arrival of a text, and Joon-ho's heart skipped a beat as he read Soo-jin's message confirming her imminent arrival. A smile tugged at the corners of his lips as he typed a quick reply, assuring her of his presence and eagerly anticipating their walk together.
Meanwhile, Kang-dae and Kyu, caught in the tide of students, found themselves carried along towards the main hall. Despite their initial intention to wait with Joon-ho, the relentless current of bodies propelled them forward, leaving their friend alone at the intersection.
As Kang-dae's voice cut through the bustling noise of the crowd, Joon-ho turned to see his friend's reassuring expression.
"Don't worry, Joon-ho! We'll save you a seat in the hall," Kang-dae shouted over the clamour, a reassuring smile on his face.
"Thanks, Kang-dae!" Joon-ho replied, feeling a surge of gratitude wash over him. He flashed a quick thumbs-up before turning his attention back to the stream of students passing by.
With a nod of acknowledgement, Joon-ho watched as his friends melted into the crowd, their words of encouragement echoing in his mind.

As the crowd continued to swell around him, Joon-ho kept his eyes peeled for any sign of Soo-jin and Sang-hee. Finally, he spotted them making their way through the throng, their faces bright with anticipation. "Hey, over here!" he called out, waving to catch their attention.
Soo-jin's eyes lit up as she spotted Joon-ho amidst the sea of students. "Joon-ho! Sorry, we're late," she exclaimed, hurrying over to join him. Sang-hee followed closely behind, offering a warm smile in greeting.
"No worries, you made it!" Joon-ho replied, returning Soo-jin's smile. "Are you both ready for the orientation?"
Soo-jin nodded eagerly. "Absolutely! I can't wait to see what they have planned for us."
Sang-hee chimed in, her voice filled with excitement. "It's going to be so much fun. I heard they have some great activities lined up for us."
The three friends exchanged a few more words as they made their way towards the main hall, the buzz of anticipation growing with each step.

"By the way, how are your other two roommates? I don't think I've had the chance to meet them yet," as they navigated through the bustling crowd, Joon-ho turned to Soo-jin and Sang-hee with a curious expression.
"Oh, you mean Hyun-ae and Jin-kyung? They're doing well. Actually, they left a bit earlier than us to use the bathroom. You know how it is, only two cubicles for four people," Soo-jin smiled warmly, her eyes lighting up with recognition.
"Ah, right. Hyun-ae and Jin-kyung. Got it," Joon-ho nodded, pretending to remember their names.
"It's amazing how many people are here. I can't wait to see what they have planned for us," he glanced around the crowded hall, feeling a sense of camaraderie with his friends.
"I know, right? It's going to be a packed day, that's for sure. But I'm excited to see what this orientation has in store for us," Sang-hee chuckled, her eyes sparkling with amusement. Sang-hee chuckled, her eyes sparkling with amusement.
