At this point almost everyone was asleep. You laying in bed staring at the piggy bank on the ceiling, you sighed as your sick brother came into your thoughts. "I'm sorry hyun-jun." You whispered, before sleep over took you.
You were already awake by the time the guards came in. "Attention players." the Lady on the speaker spoke. "the second game will begin momentarily, please follow the staffs instructions and swiftly make your way towards the second game."
You all were walking through the many stairs on the colorful place, player 456 and 390 were in front of you, and the other Two behind you with you in the middle.
As the huge door opened, soft music started playing. Everyone walked in and you looked around seeing two rainbow circles on both sides. "This does not look like dalgona to me"
"The second game will begin shortly."the Lady on the speaker spoke. "please divide into teams of five in the next ten minutes."
"Dalgona isn't a team game though."player 390 spoke. "Hey!" Player 100 and a few players walked up to us. "its still dalgona right?" Gi-hun shook his head. "No, I don't think so."
"What? You said you played it before!" As he started complaining at the poor man. you stepped in. "Hey, stop blaming it on him, of course they would change the game knowing a past player would be joining."
As they were gonna start cussing at you, player 001 spoke. "that's enough." He said firmly. They all backed away and left, not after sending a few curse words at gi-hun though.
You patted gi-hun's back after seeing his guilty face. "don't blame yourself, its not your fault." you spoke softly at him. "I'm sorry," he apologized. "From what's it worth, we still believe you." Player 001 said, which you all nodded too.
"If its okay with you all, I'd like for us team up." player 001 said. Player 390 nodded. "that's right, we don't know what we are playing but we should still try and man up. This games are for kids."
"I feel the same way." dae-ho spoke. "I'd like to team up with you four, if we work together, then nothing can stand in our way." Player 390 placed his arm around dae-ho's shoulder. "that's right, marine."
"Sir! I swear I'll put my life on the line!"
You looked around and saw player 120 all alone looking for teammates, you watches as he walked into a group of four, you were about to sigh in relief, but he was rejected with the people saying they were good. But they needed one more person. You thought.
A girl with short hair walked up to you five, you recognized her as the girl from earlier, the one who you thought was pregnant. "excuse me," she spoke softly holding her stomach which had a bump.
Everyone turned towards her waiting for her to speak. 'Do you guys think I could join you? I'm pregnant." she held her stomach.
Everyone looked down at her stomach. "I'm sorry," player 390 spoke. "But we Are already full." She nodded disappointedly and was about to walk away, you grabbed her wrist.
"You guys take her" you spoke pulling her in. "what about you?" Player 001 asked. "I'll find another team." they all widen their eyes. "seriously?" Player 390 asked.
You nodded. "it would be better for her since she's pregnant." they all gave you worried looks. "don't worry, I'll be fine." you nudged the girl softly towards them. She looked at you and bowed slightly. "Thank you."
You smiled and nodded. "see you guys back at the rooms!" You yelled as you backed away. "good luck! Fighting!" Dae-ho yelled back, You turned around and ran to catch up to someone.
You held his wrist panting. "I really need to work on my stamina." you looked up at him once you caught your breath. "Let's team up."
"but I thought you were with the others?" He asked, confused.
"Come on," you dragged his wrist. "Let's go find more people." He was utterly flustered and grateful. you spotted an innocent looking girl by herself. Before you could even ask her. She spoke first. "do you guy need at player?" She spoke while looking at the floor. "if you do, do you think I could-"
You nodded before she could even finish her word making her smile, "we just need to find two more people." and soon enough, you were already full. It was the old lady and her son. "well," you sighed "that wasn't that hard."
You spotted player 230 walking your way. not again. "Hey, beauty." he spoke, arrogantly. "let's team up."
"No, thank you." you said firmly.
"A pretty lady like you needs her Knight. and I'm willing to be one for you." he winked extending his hand for you to take.
You looked at his hand and back at him. "find someone else. I already found the people I'm teaming up with." You spoke harshly and turned around walking away, the others following after you.
"Do you know him?" Player 120 asked, you shook your head. "no, it's just some perv that bothers me."
The old lady pats your back." your to pretty to be here, lots of disgusting men will bother you."
You watched as the last second ended, and the lady from the speaker spoke. "the team selection period is over." Everyone was sitting on the rainbow circles with their teammates.
"The game you will participate today is a six-legged pentathlon. Team member will start with their legs tied together, at each ten-meter interval on the track, one member of the team will play a Mini game, the team can move on to the next challenge only after they pass." The Lady on the speaker explained.
You saw the Innocent girl hand shaking, so you held it and gave it a firm squeeze. "don't worry, we'll make it." She nodded and mumbled a small thank you.
"The mini games as followed, game one, Ddakgi." you closed your eyes as memory from your hair getting pulled rushed in. "game two, flying stone. game three, gon-gi. Game four, spinning top. And finial, game five, jegi." You nodded. "they all don't seem to hard." you spoke. "I think we can make it."
"You will have five minute to win. You must complete all the mini games, and make it to the finish line before the time runs out. so now, pleased decide which player will be assigned to each mini game."
You looked at player 120. "which one are you good at?" He thought for awhile. "jegi, I'm good at jegi."
you nodded at his response. you looked at the mother and Son duo. "I can take flying stones." the son spoke. you all now turned to the mother. "I was good at playing gong-gi, I can take that one."
"Then Ddakgi and spinning top are left." you looked at the girl. "which one are you comfortable with?" You asked. "you can pick first," she said softly. You smiled. "I am actually good At all of them expect Ddakgi, so I'll choose spinning top."
"then I'll take Ddakgi."
"Player 457," player 120 called out to you. "hmm?" You turned to him.
"you said your good at all of them expect Ddakgi, how's that?" He asked. "ah, I have a younger brother who likes these games so I usually played it with him, and you could say I was a professional."
They all nodded. "what's about Ddakgi though?" The lady asked. you laughed nervously. "let's not talk about that one."
