Chapter 50: Dorm Assignment (1)
Ari got onto one of the two mega buses that the production crew had provided for them, immediately heading to the back of the bus with Jamie and Carlos.
The bus was completely rowdy as the boys of different ages talked loudly with each other while subtly separating themselves by class.
Carlos, who was in C class, sat next to Seobin, a contestant with blue hair that Ari had met in rehearsals.
The two chatted, but when Seobin met Ari's eyes, he glanced down at the neon yellow shirt that Ari was wearing and smirked subtly since he and the group members he came with were all in B or C class, wearing Red and black shirts, or pink and white shirts.
Rolling his eyes, Ari just stared out the window as the bus driver drove for about 30 minutes.
When it stopped, they were in front of a medium-sized 4-story building, a bit away from the downtown area.
There were walkable stores close by, and the building had a black tunnel connecting it to a large, boxlike, nondescript building that looked like a warehouse.
The camera crew was already out and waiting, with PD Park Ji-ho in the lead, smiling and waving at them.
As they came down from the bus, they were ushered into the building while being filmed.
Instead of the expected lobby, the building opened up to a courtyard with a fire pit, lounge chairs, and benches with umbrellas over them.
Off to the right were the various styles of luggage that the contestants had brought.
