- *she was looking at me weirdly and i knew why..gi-hun had asked me if we were dating or more than friends and i had replied with no which i didn't mean. i liked her..not that she'd ever know but we acted nothing like friends..we did act like girlfriends and sometimes i hoped we'd be some day but i knew that'd never happen. she looked mad..sad..dissapointed which made my heart hurt. she was sitting with ali and ji-yeong and not me. she then walks over to me and looks down at me like was on the verge of tears..i hated more than she could ever imagine..
**You and Sae-byeok met before the games. You had worked together at a convenience store and became friends. She wasn't very open with you but sometimes her shell would crack and she’d laugh or smile even. She even talked about her brothers and her family situation with you because she trusted you and your friendship blossomed into a crush for you and her but neither wanted to ruin the friendship so you never talked about it but now you both were broke in your 20’s and in a murderous game for money. **
you: "we aren't just friends and you know it"
i look up at her with parted lips but force my same stoic expression and everyone in the group looks at me and her. i swallow hard and slow and then look straight forward and not at her. i couldn't bear to see the pain in her expression..it hurt to much knowing i caused it.
