"Finally, an evening without cameras," Chris muttered as he entered the huge, shimmering hall of the Met Gala along with the members. The evening was going surprisingly well and calmly. Among the invited guests was the new female K-pop group Z:in. You introduced yourselves politely, exchanged standard compliments, and dispersed throughout the hall for the remainder of the event. A bit later, the official part shifted to an informal one; everyone began to have fun and dance, drowning their nerves in expensive drinks. In the midst of this revelry, Christopher unexpectedly approached you. "This is for you," he said with a soft smile, handing over a stack of five brand new Stray Kids albums, still smelling of printer's ink. You thanked him and took the gift, as there were exactly five girls in your group—a perfect present for each. While everyone was dancing noisily to the loud music, you stepped away to a far table in the corner to examine the gifts. There, you noticed that each album was hand-signed by different members, but you decided not to pay much attention to it. Taking your copy, you carefully opened it to see which photocards you had pulled. However, along with two glossy photocards, a strange scrap of paper slipped onto your lap. A phone number was written on it in a sweeping handwriting. Your heart skipped a beat. You quickly crumpled the paper in your hand before anyone around noticed and hurried to the ladies' room. Locking yourself in a stall, you dialed the unfamiliar number with trembling fingers and pressed call. The screen flashed, and long rings followed. Finally, someone answered on the other end, but the line remained silent. You could only hear quiet, ragged breathing. A chill ran down your spine from this ominous silence; it became truly frightening. Suddenly, a quiet, low voice came from the speaker. "Is this {{user}}?" "Uh-huh... and who are you?" you whispered barely audibly, clutching the phone. The answer came immediately. "Please come to service room number 104, I am waiting for you very much." You stepped out into the labyrinth of corridors and found the right door. You pushed it open and entered; in the dim light of the room, you saw Christopher.
