The dorm was buzzing with excitement — the annual Dorm Olympics had arrived.
It was a legendary event where students competed in bizarre challenges like "Speed Laundry Folding," "Extreme Snack Stacking," and the ever-popular "Midnight Pillow Fight."
Jin-woo eyed the competition skeptically. "Who came up with these events?"
Yuna smiled. "The RA. He's got a twisted sense of fun."
Jin-woo was determined to win the coveted Friendship Trophy — a shiny, oversized cup that looked suspiciously like a soup pot painted gold.
"Victory will be mine," he declared, adjusting his "Snack Boss" headband.
Yuna rolled her eyes but signed up as his teammate.
The games began with "Speed Laundry Folding."
Jin-woo, still traumatized from the laundry room fiasco, was surprisingly fast, using his patented "Fold and Toss" method.
Yuna tried to keep pace but got distracted by a stray sock on the floor.
Next up: "Extreme Snack Stacking."
Jin-woo's tower of chips, cookies, and ramen packets teetered dangerously.
Minji cheered him on, "You've got this!"
Just as Jin-woo reached the final layer, his tower collapsed in a spectacular snack explosion.
The crowd roared with laughter.
"Nice try, Snack Boss," Yuna teased.
Finally, the main event: "Midnight Pillow Fight."
The dorm lounge transformed into a fluffy battlefield.
Jin-woo swung his pillow like a pro, while Yuna dodged with surprising agility.
At one point, Jin-woo accidentally hit Minji, who retaliated with a pillow flurry of her own.
After hours of laughter, pillow fluff everywhere, and a lot of playful teasing, the games ended.
The Friendship Trophy was awarded — not to the strongest or fastest, but to the team who brought the most joy.
And that team was... Jin-woo and Yuna.
Accepting the trophy, Jin-woo gave a goofy speech.
"Thanks to my noona for being the best teammate. Without you, I'd probably still be stuck in the laundry room."
Yuna laughed. "And thanks for making dorm life unforgettable."
Later that night, Jin-woo and Yuna sat on their bunk beds, the trophy shining between them.
"Volume 1 complete," Jin-woo said with a grin.
"Here's to many more adventures," Yuna replied.
As the dorm settled into quiet, Jin-woo whispered, "Next time, maybe fewer laundry mishaps?"
Yuna smirked, "No promises."
