We were assigned to two tents facing each other in the corner of the hall, with a public bathroom nearby for which I was grateful. However, given the circumstances, taking a shower felt risky, as it would expose my vulnerability in such an open space. I assumed Hyun Hee and Setsuna would have similar concerns.
Standing before the dome-shaped tent, made of high-quality fabric that couldn't easily be scratched or cut, I unzipped the entrance. Inside, I was greeted by two soft mattresses on the floor, a small circular table, and two chairs positioned near the window. The tent also had a built-in air conditioner and heater, as well as a small round object attached to the center of the roof.
But before stepping inside, I turned to look at Hyun Hee, who was about to enter her tent. I stopped her, as I had a question on my mind that I wanted to ask her.
"Hyun Hee," I called out to her.
