"uh, basically this whole place we're in is the dream team headquarters– down the hallway we have our offices. this first room on the left is the editors office, where all editors do their job to edit. the second door on the left is the writers office which is where the writers of course to their job and then the one straight down the hall is the meeting room, next to it is the chamber of secrets." heeyeon showed me around the whole headquarters.

well, i never thought it'd be this big. "the chamber of secrets is where we store all of our infos, secret files, testing equipments, clues, evidence and more. we have a special key to open that door." heeyeon said and pointed at the normal wooden door that you wouldn't even guess there would be important things behind it.

"this is area 51– this used to be the room full of technology equipment but we lost the key. we really don't know where it is." heeyeon mumbled.

"hold up, didn't you guys say weijung just found a key in the school garden? maybe it's that key?" jeno said. nayoung's face lit up as she ran towards me, "where's your key?"

i furrowed my brows, confused before grabbing the key from my pocket and showing it to her. she grabbed it and eyed it. "hmm, does anyone have their key on them?" nayoung asked as jisung threw his key to her as she caught it. she took both keys and placed them both together. "doesn't this seem– quite pink?" nayoung mumbled and showed them my key.

jaemin tilted his head as he squints his eyes at the key, "kinda?"

"i'm gonna try to open area 51 with this." nayoung stated and walked towards the door which completely said area 51. she inserted the key which fitted perfectly, when she twisted the key it made a sound as the door opened. nayoung's eyes widened as she squealed, "oh my gosh! it's opened! after 2 years!!" nayoung jumped.

"what's with the room?" i knitted my brows.

"well, since this room is open– you can have it. it's a room for hackers, we don't really have any hackers even back then but this room was built just for hackers. it has all the equipment and stuff you need." mark pointed out.

"go get settled in tomorrow, i have something to discuss today." mark mumbled.

i nodded as we all gathered up in the main room which is called the artist lab.

"so in dream team– we do tons of investigations, we unveil tons of secrets inside the school grounds, we post articles on the dream team's own official website which is secret society. there, we share secrets, truths, rumors and juicy stories within the school and maybe even other schools. we don't like boring news and fake news so we tend to really investigate everything even if it means traveling here to there just to get info." mark explained.

"in dream team, we of course have our positions. i'm the president, jaemin is vice president. i'm an executive writer, journalist as well. i hold the writing department." mark told me as he signaled the others to introduce their positions as well.

"i'm a writer as well." jeno raises his hands before looking back to what renjun was doing.

"i'm the vice president, editor-in-chief, i hold the editing department." jaemin stated.

"i edit as well, i'm an associate editor." nayoung said.

"i'm also under the editing department, i'm a junior editor." jisung smiled at me before going back to his little game.

"i'm the artist, i hold the art department where you can either be a cartoonist or an illustrator." renjun stated as he busily did some sketches, he's probably busy then?

i was shocked when no one else introduced themselves as some illustrator or cartoonist. "i'm the photographer." heeyeon said.

"i'm the photography editor– but also a writer." haechan said.

"hold on, you guys don't have a cartoonist? err illustrator?" i furrowed my brows as all of them pointed at renjun. i looked at them, quite confused.

"chenle's not here– he kinda been inactive after some things happened. chenle's the illustrator while minyoung used to be the cartoonist." haechan said.

"ahh i see." i mumbled.

"anyways, i don't really know how could she help." renjun muttered which was quite loud enough for everyone to hear.

UNKNOWN.
— don't let anyone doubt what you can do.

i stuffed my phone back into my pocket after receiving a text from unknown again.

heeyeon glared at renjun, "as i said, minyoung told me she can do a lot of things."

"like what?" jaemin raised his brow.

"she can help us with gathering information, she's a hacker! minyoung was telling me about some colored hats, i didn't know what she was talking about!" heeyeon exclaimed then she turned to look at me, "do you know what those colored hats are?"

i chuckled, "yeah."

"what's with the hats?" jisung furrowed his brows. "are we getting some kind of costume now?"

"the hats she was telling about were the 7 types of hackers. a white hat is an ethical hacker, they are the good guys in the hacker world. they help remove viruses and perform pentests and generally help people." i explained, they all looked at me amazed.

"how'd you know?" haechan mumbled.

"uhh, i came from a technology and arts school– i mainly focus on technology." i stated.

"continue." jeno said.

"black hats are those who steal credit card infos and are those often heard about on the news." i continued.

"grey hats don't steal info or money like black hat nor they help people out. they may sometimes deface a website for fun. they mostly spend their time just playing around with systems without doing anything harmful." i said.

"red hats are the vigilantes of the hacker world. like white hats in the sense they stop black hats from attacking but they are downright scary on how they do it. instead of reporting the malicious hacker they shut them down by uploading viruses, accessing their computer to destroy it from the inside out. they use many different aggressive methods to force the cracker out and potentially even kill their computer." i told them.

"woah, so is there a saying to not mess with red hats?" heeyeon raised a brow and i nodded.

"green hats, they are the babies of the hacker world. they use scripts like kiddies. but unlike blue hats, they have aspirations of becoming full blown hackers." i said.

"and what are blue hats?" nayoung asked.

"blue hats are those who have no desire to learn at all but they will seek vengeance on anyone who makes them angry." i stated.

"geez, so many things about hacking."

"shut up, nana." nayoung glared at the
boy who just rolled his eyes.

"i'll explain more things tomorrow but it's getting quite late– you should probably go back to your dorm." mark stated.

"how about you guys?" i questioned.

"hmm, we'll wait until renjun finishes, some of us still have some stuff to do. jisung, send her back to her dorm." mark ordered. jisung nodded as he stood up and smiled at me. he grabbed my bag before waiting me to leave the club room. i did and he followed behind me.

"i'm expecting a lot from you to be honest. when minyoung-noona was still here, she used to tell us stuff about you." jisung said. "you guys met before?"

"well, i met her at a convention and we found out during summer that we are neighbors and yeah." i told him.

"hmm, renjun's quite right though, you do remind me of someone." jisung muttered.

"ahh, really?" i uttered and he nods with a weak smile.

"don't mind jaemin being rude, he's just overwhelmed that someone will be joining again. we're usually picky when it comes to adding new members but we just somehow naturally wanted you in. as for renjun, he's just a little shy but when you get to know him he's a snake– i mean great friend!" jisung clapped while i laughed when he said about snake renjun.

UNKNOWN.
— you should probably try and get them all back together?

UNKNOWN.
— maybe knowing more stuff about them? as minyoung said, they are full of secrets.

UNKNOWN.
— aren't you curious about that chenle guy? what happened to him?

UNKNOWN.
— stop ignoring me! i know you're reading this.

UNKNOWN.
— just be you.

UNKNOWN.
— oh, and be careful ;)
