After a week of investigation, they closed the complaint. Dean also knew what went on with the boys, but they had learned to stay oblivious to certain things, like girls in the boys' dormitories, or seniors driving out post-curfew hours.

When we were new, we were afraid, but as we climbed the ladder of grades, we got courageous and creative.

Sophomores' had always been the faculty's favorites because of how naive they were, but they always got corrupted by the time they passed their second year. 

I was feeling much better. They have resumed all the activities, but one teacher was asked to be present in the auditorium, library, gym, swimming pool, or playgrounds at all times. I had asked my favorite professor to be there as we resumed the dance practice.

When I entered the auditorium, I saw Hoseok with the biggest smile. He hated to be involved in anything that wasn't related to study and dance, although he still helped us in last week's spectacle.

Then I found Jungkook with his GoPro. I couldn't help but laugh. Everyone hollered to sort of celebrate the gathering after a short gap.

"Hyung," Jungkook hopped his way to the front, examining me. "How are you doing now?"

"Shh," I raised my index finger to indicate to him that it wasn't the place to ask me that.

He understood and smiled.

Even though I saw him in passing, we have been texting about normal stuff like studies and holiday plans. Since we were connected to Uni wifi, we never talked about anything that could be traced back and put us in trouble.

"Guys!" I clapped my hand twice to invite everyone's attention. Most of the students in the group were from the third, fourth, and fifth years except for Jungkook. "We have props ready. So we will be using them today in practice."

They clapped to show their enthusiasm.

I opened the door and two students brought two rotating wooden veneers we were supposed to step on during a specific part of the song. Before I could completely set it up, Jungkook jumped on top of it like a little child and giggled.

His laughter was so infectious that everyone else joined him.

I watched as the round, wooden chunk carrying at least six people, rotated slowly. Jungkook yanked his hand and pulled me in, making me squish between them and he put his camera on my face.

I laughed.

He moved the camera in front of himself and he made a funny expression, and then tossed it in front of my face telling me it was my turn.

I gave him a scared expression, then he mimicked it.

He passed it to me again. I made an awestruck face. We exchanged many looks, and by the end of it, we were laughing like careless children.

"Enough now," I shook my head, ending my peal of laughter. "Let's get to work."

All of us cleared the room and I played the music. Half of the people had forgotten chunks of choreography.
