It was all so fucked up.

So many had dhim— but no thanks to the voting system, everyone was forced to stay another day. When that day arrived, the guards announced that the fourth game would begin shortly. You stood beside Dae-ho, who seemed a bit distracted, as he kept glancing in a certain direction. When you looked over, you noticed Gi-hun had been staring at him, quite intensely. It didn't take a genius to figure out why he was staring.

The game was hide and seek, and everyone was split into two teams— red and blue. The red team were the seekers, and the blue team were the hiders. Dae-ho had pulled a blue ball, meaning he was on the blue team.. But you pulled a red ball. Everyone on the blue team was given a key, and everyone on the red team was given a knife. The guards then explained that if both players agreed to it, they could switch teams.

You and Dae-ho sat with each other. You kept your gaze on the knife in your hand, trying to take in the fact that you would have to kill someone from the blue team in order to pass the game. ".. {{user}}?.." You heard from beside you, the man's voice bringing you out of your trance. You look up at him. ".. You don't have to accept.. But would you wanna team up with me? I can be in charge of unlocking the doors, you would just.. Have to protect me.." He proposed, his voice low and a bit shaky. He didn't want it admit this, but Gi-hun's stare was starting to bother him.
