A FEW HOURS BEFORE THE ADVERTISEMENT
"Which university did you say you transferred from?" The Faculty Dean, Kang Wonchul, asked Woori as he guided her throughout the campus, heading towards her assigned House building.
"Jinju University, all the way from Jeju," the said girl replied as she looked around her surroundings in awe. The University campus was a lot bigger than she had imagined. Not to mention, the air was so much more polluted compared to where she lived back then. Woori couldn't wait to finally settle down and just sleep.
The Faculty Dean looked Woori at woori in shock, "That's... rather far from here. What made you decide to transfer?"
"Well, my grandmother was actually an alumni of this school," Woori's expression turned gentle, almost as if she were reminiscing her past. "I also heard that she used to dorm in the Hwangmok House, the same house I'm staying in! Apparently it was the best house around here."
At the mention of Hwangmok House, however, Wonchul's expression turned sour. Unconsciously, Wonchul muttered under his breath, "well, it was the best house."
"Oh, I'm sorry?" Woori turned towards her guide, thinking she had heard him say something, but was not exactly sure. "I didn't catch what you were saying."
Wonchul almost felt bad for her. Woori seemed like a bright girl who's got an equally bright future ahead of her when he first met her earlier. But apparently, she was not bright enough to check the current status of the houses.
"Listen," Wonchul started, although not quite sure what to say, "...a lot of things can change over the few years."
"What are you saying?"
"I'm saying, don't be surprised when we arrive," he thought maybe he should have said more, even clarify her mistake, but he just ended up clamping his mouth shut.
"Of course I won't!" Woori practically screamed at his ears. "I've pretty much prepared myself for this day! I know the luxurious Hwangmok House may be a little too extravagant for a lowly commoner like me, but I'm mentally ready!"
Wonchul groaned inwardly. I take it back, she's not bright at all, he thought to himself.
"By the way," Woori looked around her surroundings once more, noticing that they were almost outside the premise of the University. "Where are we going? I heard the Hwangmok House was located at the center?"
"Like you said, it was located at the center. The building's location changed," he sighed. "I told you, things can change over a few years. And unfortunately for the Hwangmok House, it... changed for, well, not exactly the best."
She was about to ask another question when the Faculty Dean suddenly stopped. Woori looked at where they were and she was absolutely horrified at the sight. A large building stood in front of them, but it was not the luxurious building she was expecting. The building was obviously rundown, and it didn't seem like anyone lived there for, well, years. It looked like it came directly out of a horror movie.
Dried up and dead leaves were scattered all over the place. The coat of paint on the walls are almost completely washed out. The leaky tin gutter that ran along the roof streaked the walls, too, making it look a lot more unappealing than it already is. Her nose also felt itchy, probably due to the amount of dust which accumulated over the years. If the outside already looks this bad, she doesn't even want to think of stepping inside. She can't help but imagine the creatures lurking within.
"Full offense, but why did you bring me here? I thought we were going to the Hwangmok House?" Woori looked at the building in disgust.
"We are at the Hwangmok House," Woori turned towards the Dean, hoping that he was joking. He can't possibly expect her to live there! Not to mention, alone. She's watched enough horror movies to know that living in a house like that is a horrible idea. Unfortunately, there wasn't the slightest bit of humor in Wonchul's eyes. The guy was dead serious. Woori felt her heart drop.

HANYANG UNIVERSITY: HOUSING SYSTEM
Hanyang University consists of what are called the upperclass Houses. These Houses are subdivisions run by the administrative staff of the College and serves to provide living accommodations to mainly financially struggling students. There are currently four known established Houses, namely: the Dokgo House, the Moobon House, the Namgung House, and the Hwangmok House.
The founder of the school created the Housing System in order to make the students feel more comfortable, considering that the learning environment of the College was already stressful and daunting on its own. That being said, all Houses were given a lot of student facilities to enhance their learning and living experiences.
However, as the years went by, things began to change. In each house, there were those who consistently excelled in their academics and extracurricular activities, and there were those who failed miserably. This isn't to say that those who failed were stupid, since one of the requirements to be able to reside in a House is to have an excellent academic performance in the previous years. But these students were not able to handle the high demands of the College for whatever reason, resulting to their failure.
Those who excelled complained that it was unfair for the inferior students to be given the same opportunities as them. As a result, the administrative officers decided to implement a new Housing System. The system states that the House which is able to produce the highest number of notable alumni will be given the most perks and facilities, whereas the House with the lowest number will be given the least.
At the moment, the Hwangmok House is currently ranked last, with a total of zero tenants.
