Min-Seok just nodded but still gave Joon-won a hard stare while he did it. He then turned towards Gah Soo and asked, “Is there anything else we need to fill up?” with a small smile. Joon-won was relieved when he saw this and turned towards Gah Soo too.

Gah Soo shook her head and replied to Min-Seok’s question, “There aren’t any more left to fill here Mr. Kim. But if you guys are free right now, it might be good for us to go and pick a room in the dorms. It is on a first-come first-pick basis here. So, we can at least pick one right now and come in later.” 

Min-Seok nodded and replied, “That is completely alright with us. We have nothing left to do today, so we can go to the dorm rooms now and pick a room for her. Also, just call me Uncle, I don’t like the Mr.” he genuinely felt a bit weird when someone called him Mr. 

Gah Soo nodded led them towards dorm rooms. The dorm rooms were on the other side of the campus from the administrative building they were at. The group slowly made their way in silence as Yun-hee continuously looked around, very excited about her in life. Joon-won was also looking around but quickly lost interest as he felt his own university was actually better than this one. 

They eventually reached the Female dorm rooms and she led them towards the office to sign them up. It seemed like many people had the same idea as them because there were many students with their bags standing outside the office for their chance to go in. Joon-won also noticed many of the seniors who stayed in the dorms were helping out like Gah Soo by showing the people around the dorms and helping them pick rooms. 

Gah Soo turned to them and asked them to wait as she walked into the office to bring in a form for them to fill. She came back quickly with the form and said, “Alright let’s fill this and go around to pick a room for you guys. The freshmen stay at Block B and after we choose the room, the manager will have a talk about the rules and other stuff. Shall we get going uncle?” as she handed the form to Joon-won.

Joon-won just bought out the pen he had and looked at the form while Min-Seok nodded to her question. Gah Soo led them out of the block before making their way to the next block behind the one they were just in. 

The group continued as Gah Soo kept giving her views on which room would be the best and which one she was in at the beginning. Min-Seok and Yun-hee paid a lot of attention while Joon-won just acted like a bodyguard. They finally chose one after 30 minutes of discussion and contemplation between the three. 

After they finished choosing and filling the form they got back to the hallway, waiting for their turn to talk to the warden. Joon-won stood beside Yun-hee and asked in a low voice.

“How is it? You like the room and everything here?” He didn’t talk to her during the entire dorm tour as she was just too excited and felt like she would explode if he did. 

Yun-hee immediately whipped her head towards his direction and replied with more energy then he initially thought, “Yes, It is so good. Everything is so good. The campus is so big and the dorms are also not as bad as I thought they would be. I heard people say that some universities fir in 5 students into one dorm which is meant for only 3 people. I feel so lucky to get in.” 

Joon-won nodded as he heard her. She was really lucky as what she was told was true. From the memories he had he knew the boys dorms were generally arranged in that manner and was one of the reasons the original Joon-won decided to live outside. The dorms they saw had only arranged for 3 people to stay in a room which could easily fit another. So it was pretty spacious. 

“Well, I am happy to see you are satisfied with everything but do not get easily fooled by it. People are not kind and can be very misleading if you let your guard down. Think very carefully before you make any friends too, some people are just not worth it and would lead you down the wrong path. Just be careful, alright? If you want to, you can come to the house when you have a holiday or two. Got it?” 

Yun-hee rolled her eyes as she heard his speech and slowly said, “Alright, alright. Stop now. I will be careful.” Joon-won could only sigh seeing her. He just hoped nothing would go wrong during her study. If possible he would like her to stay with him in his house but it would be inappropriate and a girl of her age would also love her own space, so he never even bought it up.

The group continued to wait for another few minutes before Gah Soo asked them to follow her inside the office to meet the dorm manager. They walked in and noticed the dorm manager was a typical middle aged women. She smiled and motioned for Min-Seok and Yun-hee to sit across her as Gah Soo went beside her, handing her the form they filled with all their payment details. Joon-won just stood behind Yun-hee, assessing the manager. 

“Well, looks like you guys completed the entire payment with no dues. Alright, I am sure you guys are happy with the room you guys chose. Do you guys have any questions for me to answer? Please fire away.” looking at Min-Seok. 

Min-Seok sent a quick glance towards Joon-won when he heard the payment was done in full before looking at the manager and asking a few questions he had in mind the entire time. The manager and Min-Seok talked for an entire 5 minutes before she took out a slip and asked them.

“Do you guys live in the city or from outside?”

“We are not natives of this city but my son lives here nearby for his own university. He lives outside in a flat on his own.” 

“Alright then, should I give the parent pass on his name? If you ever want to meet her or take her home, you would need this pass. Just show it at the main building and they would call for her. The university is strict when it comes to first year girls who are staying in dorms. They would not be allowed outside unless a parent calls me with their consent.” 

Min-Seok nodded in relief as he was very scared for Yun-hee’s life in the big city. So he replied, “Yes, you can give the slip in his name as he lives here.” Joon-won told his name and his contact details as the manager wrote it down and slipped the paper into a plastic sheet before sealing it. 

“Alright then Mr.Kim, if you do not have anymore questions, then that owould be all. When will you guys be joining her in. I assume you guys didn’t bring her luggage today.” as she handed them the card.

“We will bring her in on Wednesday.”

“Alright then, Mr.Kim. Please come into the office on the day you guys decide to drop her off. Have a good day, Mr.Kim.” she stretched her hand out as everyone stood up. Min-Seok shook her hand and everyone walked out of the office. 

Yun-hee exhaled in relief as they walked out of the building as she said, “Finally it is over. That woman looked a bit scary.”

Gah Soo shook her heard and replied, “She looks like that but she is a nice manager. If you follow the rules, she wouldn’t cause you any problems and would even be lenient when you make any mistakes.” 

“She looked like a woman who loves the rules. Well, that is for the best too. Now let’s go have some good lunch, it’s already a bit late. Gah Soo, join us for lunch, you have nothing to do, right?” Min-Seok also exhaled while stretching his back a little before asking Gah Soo as he noticed it was already 2.
