CHAPTER 22.

But I can't believe she got mad over a needle!

A needle!

"come on," Kenji said as he pulled me again,

I wouldn't be surprised if one of my arms just pop off like it's a doll's arm,

I mean, Kenji's been a pain in the tush and I've only been with him for a few minutes.

He went up on one of the fences, sitting on top them, "let's just do the game in the last 10 minutes."

🎶🎶🎶

Me and Kenji were just sitting in silence,

But the silence felt somehow-

comforting?

"Kenji?"

He looked at me with his brows raised, "why did you join the games?"

I fiddled with my fingers while avoiding his gaze,

His dad is a criminal lord, right?

So why does he even have to go here?

"I just did." he replied with a cheeky smile,

This mother fucker.

That's it?

No that's impossible, he has to have a reason.

Everyone here is broke, is in need of a very huge load of money or has a shit ton of debt on their hands that's impossible for humankind to even pay for.

I glared at him,

He rolled his eyes as he put his arms on his knees, "fine, I joined because... I conned one of the biggest companies here in Korea,"

I looked at him as I feel intrigued,

He's a con-artist?

"I really jinxed myself when I thought I could get away from them but I was wrong, they were out to get me."

"I tried asking my dad for help but he just left me without anything, and I fucking hate him for that. I wasn't the one who left him, he did. He left me." I heard his voice suddenly tremble,

His hands curled up in a fist, closing his eyes.

Kenji...

"after that day, like your- like her. I went independent, I started being rebellious. Because I thought I was the problem, maybe he left me because I was useless, a throwaway, a good for nothing son. Countless nights of getting wasted, getting into fights, and nearly killed myself in the process. I waited for him, but he never came back to even look for me. Nor even call."

"and I was the only one who was there for myself, and because of that, I became one of the worst criminals, I turned into him."

Third Person's POV.

After Kenji finished, he looked at Y/n who has her head down.

"a-are you crying?" he asked her while he was chuckling,

"n-no! My eyes are just sweating okay?! Why does your dad have to be that way? He reminds me of my mom, but in my situation she didn't left me but only treated me like I'm a medal she had to always flaunt in front of everyone, but when I failed, it was like bye-bye you're not my daughter anymore!" Y/n cried,
