✨Lost Room: 12 Stars✨
#03. Key
이채연(20)
"Well then, shall we each open our gift boxes first?"
At those words, everyone nodded and took their gift boxes in their hands.
권은비(25)
"Okay. Then, one, two, three! Let's all open them together. Got it?"
This time, too, the remaining eleven nodded simultaneously. They all looked slightly nervous for some reason.
권은비(25)
"Ready? One~! Two~! Three!"
As soon as Eunbi finished speaking, everyone quickly opened the box.
강혜원(21)
"Hey! What's this? Is it a key?"
Hyewon's voice sounded slightly disappointed, perhaps because there was nothing to eat.
조유리(19)
"Sister, are you a key too? I'm a key too."
Then the other members also showed each other theirs and spoke.
나코(19)
"Nako's key is also a key. Democracy too?"
김민주(19)
''Yeah, mine's a key necklace too.''
장원영(16)
"Sister, sister! I guess we're all the same!"
That's right. Each of the twelve boxes the members opened contained a small, shiny, key-shaped necklace.
김채원(20)
''But, each color and shape is different?''
사쿠라(22)
"That's right! The Kuraga is a light pink with small cherry blossoms engraved on it."
최예나(21)
''Oh~! There's a duck in the yellow one I have!''
The keys were each the same color as each member's personal color. Each key was engraved with a pattern representing that member.
안유진(17)
''Puhaha~!!! Ah, look at this, unnies! Hyewon unnie's has Sojiji bread engraved on it! Haha''
While everyone was laughing and chatting while looking at their keys, Yuri was the only one tilting her head and looking intently at her keys.
최예나(21)
"Hey, Jo Yuri! What does yours look like?"
The keys differed not only in color but also in shape and size. The only thing they had in common was that they could be worn around the neck as a necklace and that they were "keys."
조유리(19)
"Yena, unnie. Does your key have this kind of writing on the back too?"
Then he showed his key to Yena.
최예나(21)
"Hmm~! You mean the one with the 'M' written on it? I don't have one."
조유리(19)
"Huh? Really? Hi-chan, Hi-chan's doesn't have an 'M' on it either?"
히토미(19)
"Yeah! Hehe, there's no such writing on that either."
I saw other members' things too, but only Yuri's had 'M' written on it.
조유리(19)
"What? What does it mean? Oh, I don't know. It's probably nothing."
Yuri thought about the meaning of the writing for a moment.
권은비(25)
"I secretly like this! What do you think? It's pretty!"
김채원(20)
"That's right. I think it suits us better than we thought."
So everyone wore the key necklace they each received.
권은비(25)
"Ah, I'm starting to feel tired. Guys, let's wash up and rest. You all worked hard today~!"
At Eunbi's words, the members dispersed to their respective dorm rooms. The invitation from the Lost Room was momentarily forgotten in the minds of the IZ*ONE members, buried beneath the fatigue and busyness of daily life.
Meanwhile, this is the practice room of an idol agency.
The members of Fromis_9, who should have been practicing dancing for a long time, were gathered in one place and making a fuss.
장규리(23)
''What is this? A letter?''
송하영(23)
"I think so. Isn't it a fan letter?"
이새롬(23)
"I don't think so. It's called an invitation."
이나경(20)
"Romsae~! Then who invited us?"
노지선(22)
''If you look here, a person named 'Ark' invites you to the 'Lost Room'.''
장규리(23)
"Lost Room? What's that? Like an escape room?"
송하영(23)
"Surely not. There's no way an invitation would come from such a place!"
이서연(20)
''But, this invitation is strange.''
이나경(20)
"Tteoyun-ah~! What? What's strange?"
이새롬(23)
"Come to think of it, you said you were inviting me, but there's no date written on it."
박지원(22)
''And there's no map of where it is.''
이채영(20)
"What? Are you telling me to find it myself?"
백지헌(17)
"Sister, is this a famous place?"
노지선(22)
"Well, I've never heard of this place before. Does anyone know anything about it?"
But all the members shook their heads, saying they didn't know.
Which accommodation is this?
아이린
''Are you invited?''
This is a waiting room for a performance.
아이유
"Ark? What are you doing this time!"
That's right. On the same day, at the same time, the people who received an invitation to the 'Lost Room' were not only the IZ*ONE members.
The man who sent the invitation. His name was 'Ark'.
He was sitting leisurely on the sofa with his legs crossed, drinking wine.
아크
''The more participants, the more fun it is! Haha''
