Settle in?

. . .
They arrived in front of her dorm room.

Kemiko, remember the card you received? it's time to use it now...
Reina
Reina
Use your card to open the door so you can settle in.
Kemiko
Kemiko
Settle in?
Reina
Reina
Yeah, getting comfortable and making yourself feel at home. Like unpacking your things, getting to know your room, and feel relaxed and your place. ^^

"'Setoru in' wa seiritsu suru koto, Miko." ['Settle in' in 'seiritsu suru', Miko.]
Kemiko
Kemiko
"Aah sōka! 'Seiritsu suru' na? wakatta de! Arigatou!" [Ah, I get it now! 'Settle in' huh? Got it! Thanks!]
Kemiko
Kemiko
"Miko mo, hayaku seiritsu suru!" [I'll settle in quickly too!]
. . .
Once they enter the room they place Kemiko's belongings and began to unpack.
Reina offered a friendly hand pointing out the essentials in the room and sharing a few helpful tips. After a while, Reina left, giving Kemiko a moment alone with her brother to finish settling in.
Just as they were wrapping up, the door opened, and a new family entered.
The family of Kemiko's ⛅ future roommate—Jisoo 🍓
Kemiko glanced up as her roommate entered the room, looking a bit nervous herself.
She found her new roommate's look, cute—no, adorable—and shy.
It was clear there was a distance in Jisoo's gaze... A quiet soft-spoken girl who seemed uncomfortable with others around...

"Jisoo-ya, insahae bwa. Eoseo, sae rummeiteu-hante insahaeya ji." [Jisoo, say hi. Come on, say hi to your new roommate.]

"Aa... Eomma..." [Aww... Mom...]

"Aigu, uri Jisoo ssukseureowo-hane. Geuraedo han beon insahae bwa. I chingu-ga gidarigo itjanni." [Oh dear, you're shy aren't you? But just try saying hello. This friend is waiting for you.]
🍓Jisoo glanced at Kemiko, giving her a small smile before looking away again.
⛅ Kemiko noticed Jisoo's cute little smile and gave her a bright grin in return, before Jisoo quickly looked away again.
. . .
Noticing her daughter's shyness, her mom decided to strike up a conversation with her daughter's new roommate to get to know her.

Parents
Hello, sweetie. You're Kemiko, am I right?
Kemiko
Kemiko
"Sou! Kemiko ya de! That's me!" [That's right! I'm Kemiko! That's me!]
Parents
Parents
Nice to meet you, Kemiko. I'm Jisoo's mom.
Kemiko
Kemiko
I'm happy to meet you too, Jisoo's mom.
Parents
Parents
This is Jisoo... she's shy and quiet. If you ask me I think my little girl is a cold one but inside... she's as adorable as she looks.
Kemiko tries to understand what Jisoo's mom said, because Kemiko doesn't understand what 'cold' is she talking about... anyways...
Kemiko
Kemiko
Quiet? Jisoo talk a little, not much?
Kemiko
Kemiko
That means she's like on Onii-chan! Kyo-niichan talk a little bit, not much too.
Their conversation continues...
Kemiko
Kemiko
Nee.. Jisoo's mom... How did you know Kemiko's name?
Parents
Parents
Ah... about that, Jisoo has a big sister. She is a student council here... She informed us that Jisoo will have a roommate named Kemiko.
Parents
Parents
I knew you'd be sweet my dear... but I didn't know you'll be this bright and young. How old are you, Kemiko dear?
Kemiko
Kemiko
I'm 9 years old, Jisoo's mom.
Parents
Parents
Nine?! My dear, that's really young... You might just be the youngest student here.
Jisoo's mom was surprised to know that Kemiko was only nine. The school was meant for middle and high schoolers, so... can't bring her...
After some time, there was a knock at the door. It was Jisoo's sister and dad.
Her dad helped with some of the unpacking, while her sister approached and introduced herself to Kemiko and her brother.
Jihye
Jihye
Hi there, I'm Jihye. Jisoo is my little sister. I hope both of you can get along well.
Kemiko
Kemiko
Hi Jihye onee-san, like you already know... I'm Kemiko — and here is my big brother.
Nii-san
Nii-san
I'm Kemiko's brother. Nice to meet you.
Jihye
Jihye
Nice to meet you. ^^
. . .
After a brief pause, it was time for Kemiko's brother to go.
He asked her to stay back in her room...
...but she insisted on walking him to the gate before parting ways.
They made their way through the halls towards the monorail station, but just then...
Her brother's phone rang.
