Among these events, my favorite was the Halloween party. On Halloween weekend, Hyeopjae hosted a Halloween-themed dance party and I appreciated that every member of our home contributed to the preparation stage. Moreover, during the party, it was great to have a party all together with the friends from Hyeopjaeandtheotherhouses.Nextyear,Iwillleavefor Halla, but these memories will remain in one corner of myheart.
Amid every joyful activity and festive events, what I remember the most about Hyeopjaeisthecasualatmosphere.Itwasalwaysfuntogatheraroundandhavechats on weekends, where lots of topics were spoken about. Whenever we had those moments, I found active communication among the community where everyone enjoyed themselves. Although festive events provide significant memories, I believe thatthetrivialityinsideHyeopjaeiswhatremainsmostinmymemory.

2 weeks ago, we visited Tapdong, which is one of the biggest commercial areas on Jeju island with Hyeopjae andYongduamboardinghouses.Thelasttimewevisited Tapdong was like a year ago, but I could not remember what it looked like and the fact that it was a very enjoyable place. This time, we visited a store called "Artbox"andboughtnotonlypresentsformyparentsand myselfbutalsoformySecretSanta.InHyeopjae,wehave an activity called "Secret Santa" annually when it becomesneartheChristmasholidays.ItistheeventthatI secretlyknowsomeonewhomtobuythepresentforbutI don'tknowwhoIgetthepresentfrom.Ienjoythisactivity a lot since it feels like the real Santa is giving me a Christmasgift.InTapdong,weweregivenalmost3hours toenjoysomyfriendsandIwenttoeatKoreanBarbecue whichcostabigamountofmoney,andspentsometime inthecafedoinghomeworkandplayinggamestogether.
Not only visiting Tapdong, but other events and trips we've done such as visiting Hyeopjae beach and doing Hide-and-seek in Hyeopjae boarding house was always funandexciting.

Our trip to Hyeopjae Beach is one of my favourite memories of the Hyeopjae boarding house. In the Hyeopjaebeach,itwasdelightfultoseethewhitesand, turquoise waters, and Biyangdo in the distance. We enjoyed seafood at the local restaurants, played volleyball,andcollectedmarineanimalslikecrabswhile on the trip. In addition, we had unrestricted mobility within the designated area, which allowed us to buy certain goods. It was a day filled with companionship, fun,andmemorieswithmypeers.

My best memory of this term is going to Shinhwa World. Eating food, playing karaoke and games with my friends out there was impressive.

Last weekend, we played a game of sardines in Hyeopjae. The houseʼs darkness and quiet hallways made it the perfect setting for sneaking around. Everyone scrambled to find the hidden person, squeezing into the most unlikely places. Each time someone discovered the hidden player, giggles echoed through thehouseastheytriedtohideintotheshadows.Thesuspenseof searchingandthesurpriseofsuddenlyfindingagroupcrammed into a tiny space made the game unforgettable. It was a perfect mix of tension and laughter that brought everyone closer together.

Last weekend, I had the privilege of traveling to Malaysia with our rugby coach,MrCrebier,andmyfellowteammateSashafromHyeopjaeforthe FOBISIA 7s Rugby Tournament. It was an intense but rewarding trip, startingbrightandearlyat5amonFridayandconcludingwithourreturn toschoolby10amonMonday.Despitethehecticschedule,theexperience wasunforgettable,filledwithgrowth,teamwork,andcamaraderie.
The tournament kicked off on Saturday with five matches, followed by three friendly games on Sunday. Our first game was especially challenging,itwasourfirstproperrugbymatch,andthenervesshowedin the first half as we conceded several tries. However, in the second half, something clicked. We adapted, fought back, and managed to equalise the scores for the second half. Though we didnʼt secure many wins, our teamʼsorganisationandskillsimproveddramaticallywitheachmatch.
This trip wasnʼt just about the games, but it was about building bonds withmyteammates,embracingthespiritofrugby,andmakingmemories that will last a lifetime. Iʼm incredibly grateful to have experienced the sportinsuchameaningfulwayandtohaverepresentedtheschoolwith pride.
