Ding!
The sudden sound jolted me from my thoughts. My hand instinctively reached into my pocket, pulling out the stopwatch.
It was time already? That was fast.
"Miyuki, did you find anything?" I asked, glancing over.
She shook her head. Her expression was clouded with disappointment. "I'm sorry... I couldn't find anything."
"Hey, don't worry about it." I offered her a reassuring smile. "I didn't come across anything useful either. Let's head down stairs and meet the others."
She hesitated for a moment but nodded, following me as we made our way back.
As we descended from the third floor and reached the first, I noticed the others had already gathered at the base of the stairs. Our party consisted of Moon Jiyeon, Yoo Rin, Soo Jinyoung, and Ryu Yeji.
Soo Jinyoung was speaking to the group, but her words were too faint to catch from where I stood. I stepped closer, with Miyuki trailing close behind me.
