"Jiwoo!"

His friends called out for him as he exited the house.

"You're here already!" Jiwoo ran towards them.

"I told you we'll pick you up." Jisuk reminded him.

"Hehe!" Jiwoo smiled brightly.

'So this is the kid Shinhwa is sponsoring.'

There were two blonde-heads inside the car, who they did not meet before.

"Kids, get in the car, we're heading out now." Inhyuk told the kids. "Sepngha and the yacht will leave without us if we're late."

The kids quickly entered the car.

Inhyuk and Jiwoo, with his cats, sat in the front. Jisuk, Subin, and Cale sat in the middle row. The two blondies sat in the back.

The car was chatty and noisy, except for the back.

"Woah!!" Jiwoo gasped as he saw the view.

After exiting the car, they boarded a yacht.

"Never been on a boat?" Subin asked.

"No, but this isn't a boat. This is a yacht!" Jiwoo exclaimed.

Subin chuckled, "that's right, Jiwoo!"

Time passed as the yacht sailed forward.

"Jiwoo! You see that island over there!" Subin pointed at a island coming into view from a distance.

"Huh?" Jiwoo looked over the railing, squinting his eyes, "is the academy on an island?" He wondered.

"Yeah." Jisuk answered. "The academy was built on top of an artificially created island to avoid attention from normal people and other awakeners... especially the World Awakened academy..."

"The World Awakened academy?" Jiwoo became curious.

Jisuk ruffled Jiwoo's hair, messing it up, "there's no need to know about them, because our academy is better!" He said with a wide grin.

"That's right! The Korean awakeners are much more cooler than them!" She said proudly.

"Excluding Subin of course." Jisuk added.

"Hey! I'm much more impressive than your sorry ass!" Subin argued.

"Sure~ sure~" Jisuk mocked her.

"You're just too afraid to fight me in a real battle! If we did, I'll surely beat up your ass!" Subin punched him in the face.

"Ow!- Ow!- mr. Seongha! Subin's hitting me again!" Jisuk cried out loud.

"Subin." Seongha said in a cold tone.

Subin stopped, "..." She kept her mouth tightly sealed.

Jisuk laughed at her, knowing now she could not fight back.

Subin tried suppressing her anger, feeling her face heat up. 'I'll get you next time with a bigger blow!'

The yacht came to a stop. They entered the island.

"Welcome."

A man, with a few others behind him, greeted them.

"You don't have to personally greet us yourself." Inhyuk said.
