As they reached the events place, the first to enter was Taeyong and the seven. The rest had to sign on the attendance sheet in order to get a room number and a table number. The order of seats was according to the students' room number. Since Taeyong and the rest will get the penthouse, they will automatically be seated at a special table just for them.
The place slowly got filled as the students entered one by one. To past the time, Jae-seong, Lucas, and Ten got on stage and practiced the routine taught to them during training. Some didn't care, some hated it, but most of them were amazed and grew more attracted to at least one of the three. Once the room was filled and the students were complete, the three got off the stage and got replaced by the school head.
"Welcome everyone. Today is only the welcoming part of out retreat. Day 1 officially starts tomorrow", he started off. "First of all, I would like to thank the generosity of the one and only Mr. Lee Taeyong for letting us stay and will accommodate us here. As per Mr. Lee's request, we will be extending this trip to a week. For the students that need to get back after the activities, please do inform me beforehand in order for us to arrange your plane tickets and the headcount to be expected by the bus drivers. I shall expect the students to inform me until tomorrow night, anyone to approach me after that will have no other choice but to wait until the scheduled flight back to Seoul along with everyone else. The first day as the welcoming, the following 4 days dedicated to the actual retreat and team building activities, and the remaining 2 days as your free day to tour the island and do whatever you like", he continued which made the students cheer in joy.
"How about our training", Jae-seong asked Taeyong. "I already got it covered", Taeyong answered smiling at the three. "To officially welcome us and give us information regarding our stay here, may I call on stage one of the sponsors of this trip, Mr. Lee Taeyong", the school head announced as Taeyong stood up. "You're even an official sponsor", Jae-seong asked. Taeyong just shrugged before going on stage and accepted the mic from the school head.
"Welcome everyone to one of the hotels in Marriott International. We are pleased to have you and accommodate you in luxury, as a true brand of the Marriott International. As you already know, your room numbers are already pre-assigned. Your seats are in accordance to your room numbers. Now, I would like you all to get familiar with your seats as this will be your permanent arrangement whenever we are to use this events place."
"This will serve as our dining area as well as a meeting place for the whole. Now, your stay here is inclusive of unlimited use of the available amenities. This includes the indoor and outdoor pool, fitness center, spa, and even the sport activities as listed", Taeyong said pointing at the screen which made the students cheer again.
"That would be all. Again, welcome, and I hope you enjoy your stay with us", Taeyong said as he bowed before going down of the stage. "Thank you for the welcoming speech Mr. Lee. Now, as I know that some of you are tired. So, let's go to our respective rooms and get enough rest. Dinner will start at 7pm so be sure not to be late", the school head said. Just as he was about to leave the stage, one student stood up and shouted that she has a question.
"Yes dear", the school head asked. "If we have our rooms assigned, how about them? Where will they be staying? They didn't sign in the attendance sheets earlier and went straight in", she asked pointing at Taeyong's group. The school head then turned to them handing them the mic. In an instant, Jae-seong stood up and snatched the mic from the school head.
"We will be staying at the penthouse sweetie. Now please stop bothering us, especially me", Jae-seong answered with the most irritating smile before giving the mic back and heading back to her seat. "Well, okay. I suppose there are no more questions. Let's proceed to our respective rooms", the school head said as the students left the place one by one being assisted by a staff towards their respective rooms.
"What did she do to you", Jaehyun asked concerned of how Jae-seong acted. "Just got to my nerves. Kept bothering me ever since Sun announced us as new addition to Sun's Rookies", Jae-seong answered coldly. "You make me so proud", Mark said happily. "Hey! Don't condone her", Jaehyun said. "Enough about that, let's just go to our room", Taeyong said standing up with the rest following.
