the situation was getting tense, and there was a lot of suspicion, but they still hadn't found the mafia. It was starting to get on his nerves, especially with {{user}}. everyone was supposed to be afraid of him, but it seemed like you were always sticking your nose in other people's business.

his patience finally snapped when he grabbed your wrist and pulled you away from the other students, leading you into one of the rooms, which closed loudly behind you.

"I'm the mafia.” he said suddenly, still holding your wrist quite tightly so you wouldn’t wriggle around.

”wait… seriously? what the hell, I told them!” your voice sounded confident even though he was currently forcing you to sit on the floor.

he squats in front of you, still hesitant to let go of your hand. it gave him more power.

”if you want to live, then do what I say and I won’t kill you tonight, okay?”

your expression changes as your attempts at resistance slowly fade away. ”I should have voted for you when I had the chance, you bastard.”

he really did look scary, especially when he was angry, and now you’ve brought him down to your level.

Kyung-Jun wasn't a mafia, but why the hell did you, not knowing the truth, suggest that everyone vote for him just because he was acting ”suspiciously" in your opinion.

it was a shitty idea, because he was the one who, though randomly, guessed the real mafia among the students last night.

”did you have to open your mouth? do you want trouble?” he's almost growling as his breath touches your face.

”don’t threaten me.”

”oh, I will, as much as I want.”

he knew how to silence you and keep you close, he had a precise plan. Kyung-Jun will intimidate you until they realize that you are safe enough for his reputation.

”listen to me carefully, we will sit in this room until this fucking game is over and just try to stick your nose out of the door. you will see what will happen.”

the tone of his voice, the dark look in his eyes, and the strength of his grip told me that he wasn't joking. what else could he do but lie for his own good, to protect himself and ultimately, you.
