i woke up, kinda late this time. because i felt the movement of someone shaking me awake. i looked up it was... a guard?

"ji-hoon wake up! wake up, please wake up!"

they were shaking me.

"i'm right here."

i said, but they ignored it? or maybe they didn't hear me.

"i said, i'm here! i'm awake."

nobody answered.

they kept shaking me.

the guard took there mask off.

it was do-yun.

"look at me, it's me! remember me? we talked in the bathroom remember?"

"yes, i'm awake!"

but nobody answered.

i started crying.

"ji-hoon!"

they called out, they were crying too.

what could i do?

"i said i'm right here!"

i yelled out.

i got up, finally.

i looked around. han-gyeol, ma-ri, ye-jun, and two others were circling me.

"are you alright?"

ye-jun asked me.

i rubbed my head. i looked to the side to see a guard watching the group.

i coughed twice loudly, then looked over at the guard.

he tapped his leg.

i tried not to react, because after last night how could i?

"i'm... i'm alright."

i got up quickly.

"phew, i thought you were sick. want me to bring you your breakfast?"

"uh... yes, yes please."

i asked.

"come on guys, let's give him some space."

they started walking to the line.

do-yun started coming close to me, but he backed up to the wall to make it look like he was examining the room.

"so you overslept did you? couldn't sleep last night."

he asked.

"no..."

i said quietly.

"stayed up thinking about me?"

my face turned red.

"how could i not?"

"it's okay, me either."

"you- what are you doing?"

"i told you, i like you."

i sighed loudly.

"do you know what this next game is?"

"yeah, it's a marble game. you need to choose someone who you aren't close with for this one. because if you win you'll be dying."

my eyes widened.

i took a shaky breath out.

"relax, i'm gonna help you, remember?"

i nodded.

the group started making they're way back to me.

"here you go."
