As Min walked back towards the International House, he could feel his back starting to ache from the fall he took earlier. Even though he was feeling a bit of pain, it doesn't compare to the happiness he was feeling from Aiden's cute apology at their first meeting spot. Min could not stop smiling when he thinks back on how Aiden thanked him when he saved him earlier, and the way Aiden apologized to him. From a different person's perspective, Min looked like he was going crazy, smiling at himself for no apparent reason. It was around 17:15 when Min got back at their suite. As he entered, he saw Ball sitting on the couch, eating some snacks as he watched some random YouTube videos on his phone. Ball immediately turned towards the door as Min entered, confused as to why Min was smiling out of the blue.

"What happened to you?" Ball asked as he started speaking in their native language.

"Oh, something came up as I was walking back. I had to go back to the Student Center" Min replied as he closed the door behind him.

"What happened?" Ball said as he put a potato chip in his mouth.

"Errr... I had to go to the Student Council Office to grab some stuff for the meeting with the International Student Council" Min responded as he walked towards where Ball was.

"Really?" Ball said giving Min a weird look as he nonchalantly put another potato chip in his mouth.

"What?" Min laughed as he looked at his best friend, "Would I lie to you Ball?"

"Yes! Absolutely! No doubt about it!" Ball immediately responded, "Something's up!"

"You're overthinking stuff" Min laughed as he tried to deflect Ball's line of questioning

"You're smiling like something good happened, I doubt it was because you grabbed some random stuff" Ball retorted as he grabbed his carton of orange juice, taking a sip out of it.

"I'm a normal person that smiles too, you know!" Min responded defensively, "Besides, it's not a bad thing to smile every now and then"

"You win this round, my dear friend" Ball conceded as he pointed two V-sign fingers at his own eyes, then towards Min, "I'm watching you".

Min laughed as he headed towards his room to get ready. As he entered his room, he placed his bag on the floor beside his study table. He then pulled the chair in front of his study table to sit down before opening his bag, pulling out the folder the received from Director Guerrero that contained the information of the International Student Council members. Min opened the folder and looked at the paper inside:
