"as a kid...?"

"mhm, or anything special about you."

"uhm, well... i- i don't know what to say."

"to start, maybe tell me your age?"

"oh... i'm 23."

"hm, i'm turning 23 next week. well if i make it out of here alive."

"hey!"

do-yun yelled at me, he grabbed my arm.

"don't say that, okay? we will try everything to get you out okay? that money, it's yours. i promise you. you just have to do your part and do good okay?"

i nodded.

"i don't even care about that prize money anymore, i just wanna go home."

"i know, and i'll get you out. this place is horrible, every time i try to do this... they die. so i just feel, like you're lucky."

"lucky?"

"i don't know, i see something in you."

"i.. you see something?"

"yeah... you know what, what about you...? tell me about you."

"you didn't even tell me about yourself yet?"

"ladies first."

"excuse me?"

do-yun laughed.

i joined him.

i looked at his hand, he had a huge scar on his palm.

for some reason, without thinking, i picked up his hand. i touched the scar.

"what happened here?"

"oh uh.. when i was little my dad, cut me."

"cut you?"

"it... it was more of like an accident."

"oh, and what happened?"

"well we were in a fight and he had a knife and just..."

do-yun mimicked a cutting sound.

"geez, is he good now?"

"oh i guess, i haven't seen him in a while since... you know i've been working here."

"oh right, how longs it been since you seen the outside world?"

"oh maybe like four years."

"four years? working here!? so you started when you were like..."

i started counting with my fingers.

19!?

do-yun nodded.

"wow, how can someone this young be working here?"

"i needed money, but i haven't left since."

"hey, if i win i'm taking you with me."

"no, you can't-

"i will. i promise that i will."
