In the noraebang building, being unable to get a room, Hee Jin, JaeJoong, and his friends turned around and headed for the front doors. Just then, a girl came running toward them. "Sunbae!" she said, smiling brightly.

"Oh? Eun Young?" one of the guys, Young Bae, said. "What are you doing here?" He turned to the others, "She's my hoobae from high school."

"I thought it was you, Sunbae," Eun Young said, biting her lower lip. "You're leaving already?"

"Nah. There aren't any rooms available so we were going to go do something else," Young Bae replied.

"Oh! Well, we have room for more people. Why don't you come join us?" Eun Young said excitedly.

Young Bae looked at the others, unsure. "Well," he started, "won't it be a little awkward? For your friends, I mean. You guys are still in high school, right? We're all older."

"Hey, Jin Chul, you coming?" Seung Hyun asked, peeking into the back of the restaurant. He gasped when he saw how clean the room looked. "Whoa! Have you been working on it the entire time?"

Hee Jin walked into the apartment building after spending an hour at a nearby internet café. With the technician being unable to fix her internet until tomorrow, she had to use a public computer to chat to her older brother.

It was already beginning to get hotter out and she wanted to stay in her air-conditioned home. Her air-conditioner had been on the fritz since she arrived but one of the neighbors offered to fix it for her yesterday. She was in heaven after that.
