The room was much larger than the one in Star🌟lit. There were six bunks on each side, each with its own desk, chair and wardrobe.

Two people were already there. I stepped inside and closed the door behind me.

“Yo.” Someone said. He was tall and had an athletic build, his hair was dyed red and he had blue eyes.

“Hi.” I said, smiling faintly.

“I'm Juyeon Peniel.” He said.

“Seo Ireum.”

I glanced at the other person, Seung Woo.

I can't believe we were roommates again, the universe mus

    I woke to the sound of my ringtone, groggily, I stared at my phone and saw the name ‘IJ’ on the screen. My eyes shot open, I glanced at Dahyun and saw he was still sleeping soundly then I hurried to the bathroom, I called her back. “Hello? Good morning, Ms. Jiyeon,” I said. “Good morning Seo Ireum,” Jiyeon said. “Well, you were right, at this point, I almost wish you weren't.” I waited for her to continue, wondering why she said that. “Seung Woo is a horrible person, I've seen a lot of cases but this is absolutely terrible, the poor boy,” Jiyeon said. “I have all the evidence needed to expose him and the Choi family.” My eyes widened. “When do you plan to release it?” “I’m giving you the leverage for that,” Jiyeon said. “What? Why?” “I just feel like it, so when do you think it should be published?” “I
I don't know, can you give me some time to think?” I asked. “Of course, just call whenever you’ve decided,” Jiyeon said and ended the call. I took in a deep breath and sig

    Dahyun's room was small but neat and organized with a small computer in the corner and a reading table near the bed. The extra futon had been laid out carefully next to his bed with fresh sheets and a pillow. “Your sister is sweet,” I said, seething my bag down. “She's the best,” Dahyun said simply. “Even when she's sick she's always cheerful and is constantly thinking about others, when I told her you were coming, she had a random boost of energy too.” “How serious is it?” I asked quietly. Dahyun sat on his bed, his shoulders sagging slightly. “She has leukaemia and needs chemotherapy but the treatment is so expensive, we could never dream of covering the bills on our own no matter how hard we try.” “Is that why you joined ORIONX?” I said. “For the prize money?” He hesitated, looking at me intensely, then he sighed. “Yes.” “I'm sorry,” I said. “Don't be,” he said firmly. “Really, we’re managing and So ah’s such a strong girl. Plus, we happen to have someone that's helping us

    Meanwhile
“Bye guys, bring back lots of home made meals!” Dongpyo said as he waved at us.“You guys are so lucky,” Jaemin said.“We wish we could eat our mum’s cooking too,” Jaein said.“We’ve got to go Ireum, the cars are here,” Peniel said.“Bye guys,” I said and Peniel and I left.We headed downstairs where I met Dahyun, Lien, Hongaem and Hangyul.“Hey guys,” Hangyul said.“Morning,” Peniel said.“Well, see you guys later,” Hongaem said as he and Lien stepped into a car.“Oh, do they live in the same place?” I asked.“I think so,” Hangyul said.“Anyway, I think it's time we go our separate ways,” Peniel said and waved us goodbye.Hangyul entered a car then Dahyun and I entered ours.“You look pretty tensed,” Dahyun noted.“Well, I’m pretty nervous,” I said.“You don't need to be, my family will love you,” Dahyun said.“Okay,” I said, though it didn't make the nerves go away.The drive was pretty long but eventually, we pulled up at a small modest house.Dahyun's family was waiting

    One week later
 Jungeon Dae-jung’s apartment smelled of cold soba and unwashed laundry. The man who answered the door looked ten years older than his actual age. His hair was graying and unkept, clothes wrinkled, eyes bloodshot. “Mr. Jungeon?” She said gently. “I'm Im Jiyeon, we spoke on the phone.” He stared at her for a long moment, swaying slightly. “You're the journalist,” his words slurred. “The one asking about my son.” “Yes. May I come in?” He stepped aside wordlessly. The living room was a complete mess. On the wall, was two framed photos. One was a young boy in a school uniform smiling at the camera and the other was one of him, his wife and son. Jiyeon felt her chest tighten. “I told you on the phone,” Jungeon Dae-jung said, slumping on the couch. “I signed an NDA and can't talk. If I break it, they take everything. The money's already gone anyway, hospitals, debts, my wife's care but they can still use me for breach of contract.” “Mr. Jungeon,” Jiyeon said carefu

    “Team 7,” Chef Moon Jungsoo said as he approached our station. “Your ingredients were considered one of the most challenging baskets, let's see what you've done.”He tasted the salad first, his eyebrows rose.“The balance here is excellent,” he said. It's the perfect balance of sweetness, acidity and brightness. Well done.”Next was the octopus, he cut a piece and examined it then tasted it. His expression changed completely.“This is
remarkable,” he said. “The octopus is perfectly tender, not rubbery at all, not to mention the glaze. Who made this?”“Peniel and I worked on it together,” I said.“Exceptional work, both of you,” Chef Moon said. “This could be served in a high end restaurant.”Finally the Panna Cotta, Park Mina tasted it, paused then tasted again.“Creative use of Thai basil,” Park Mina said. “It's unexpected but it works beautifully with the dragon fruit and the texture of the Panna Cotta is incredible.”After some time, we all stood in front of our stations as Hyunwoo
