"Unlike last time, we will begin the voting with player 00." the guard stated. "Player 001 cast your vote." you all turned to look at young-il and he nodded and walked towards the voting desk. He presses the X button without hesitation and they Gave him the X sticker.
It was then another lady's turn, she quickly does the same and moved to the X side. "Player 007." The guard called and you spotted geum-ja whispering warnings to him. He walked forward, and just as you thought he would press the X one. He presses the O side and changed his sticker. Geum-ja gasped, and you stared at her pityingly, imagine how she must have felt, her son to disobey her.
Votes after votes, with people pressing the O, and some the X. It was soon hyun-ju's turn. And just like yong-sik, he too pressed the O one. Young-mi who already voted. Looked at him with such sadness you thought she was gonna cry.
The O team were now on the lead. gi-hun walked to the front and was about to say something to the players who haven't voted, but young-il was faster. "Are you all crazy?!" He yelled.
You watched them kill all those people. "Yet you still want to go again? How do you know you won't be the one dying next?"
"He's so cool." you whispered and jung-bae and dae-ho gave you both a side eye. "What?"
Young-il walked forward. "If we stay any longer, we are all gonna die! Use your heads, take that and get out, you need to survive to think about the future."
"Oh, yeah?" Player 100 who already voted to stay spoke. you rolled your eyes at the sight of him. "What does 70 million do for us? I don't know how much Dept your in, but for all these folks, the prize isn't nearly enough money, It won't cover a tenth of what I owe." he turned and faced the players who didn't vote.
"I agree. I know, we can't worry about what's next, that chump change won't do anything!" You surely were cussing him off in your head, you never hated one like you did with this man, well, except your father.
"Game one was 25 million." he continued. "Game two was 78. that means after each round, the total more they triple after the count. So then, if we play one more game, that will bring our total to at least 240 million won!" He raises his hand in the air.
"I can't do this," Young-mi spoke up. "I wanna go." She started crying. You felt bad as she was just a young girl who wanted to leave. "Please don't do this. I wanna go home. Please let's just get out of here." She said between sobs. "I don't want to die in here."
You looked down at the floor as you too were about to tear up. Dae-ho noticed that, and placed his arm around your shoulder pulling you closer to him. "Don't cry, Y/n," he whispered. You looked up at him. "I won't..."
"Miss," another player who voted to stay looked up young-mi and said. "your still a young woman you could start again somehow. I don't have that choice, my family and I have no future." The guy begin tearing up. "I owed more than 500 million when I lost business for us to at least have a chance, I need to get out with at least half of that, I need my family to at least have a fresh start."
"And what if you died?" You spoke, after controlling your tears. "Your family Won't even get to see your body. Do you really want that?" The guy looked at floor sobbing, but you didn't stop. you wanted to get out of here...no, you need to for hyun-jun.
"If they lose you, that's it. Its over. your dead! And they get nothing! Can't you see that?" He looked up at you feeling guilty.
"Fuck that!" A player yelled. "Don't let her scare you, this is just some kids game, Ddakgi. Spinning top. Red light, green light. Its games you know inside out, there's still 255 of us, so that means half of us made it, let's just play one more game!"
"One more game!" They all started chanting. I don't think I'm getting out of Here today. soon enough you were the last player to vote, it was no use anyway. You already lost. 139 "O"s to 116 " X"s. The guard spoke. "Based on the majority of the votes, all players will proceed to the third game tomorrow morning. Thank you for your corporation."
"Everyone started making their way to the beds." you spotted dae-ho staring at jung-bae who voted to stay. You patted his back and walked away.
You four sat down quietly eating the foods you were given. "here," you hand jun-hee your piece of bread. "no, its fine..." She mumbled. "you need it more anyway." you pointed to her pregnant body. She took it from your hand and thanked you.
"Sir!" Dae-ho called out to jung-bae who was sitting alone his back towards us. Jung-bae pretended not to hear and continued eating his food "oh, god. Give me a break." He got up and walked towards jung-bae. "Sir just come sit with us already."
"No, I-i'm fine here." replied jung-bae.
Dae-ho practically dragged him back here, and made him sit down. He looked around all of you. "I'm sorry." he spoke. "Jun-hee, Young-il, I'm sorry. You too y/n. I mean it gi-hun. I borrowed some money for an emergency, and there guys are going after my ex wife and kids now. The thing is, I think I can really pay it off if I play through this next game. Then I'll be—"
"Really jung-bae?" Young-il spoke cutting him off. "Of all the people here, I never would have expected this from you. What happened to "twice as righteous"? "Anyway," he sighed. "Even if you had vote to leave with us, it wouldn't have made a different in the end."
"That's right," jung-bae spoke. "You can't say I'm the only one whose at fault at this. Thank you for not kicking me out." he sighed. "We all worked together so well, if we keep working together as a team, then I'm sure we'll make it through this next game as well."
You were just quietly sitting there listening to them talk, not bothering to say anything. "Next game?" Gi-hun asked. "what if, in the next game we have to kill each other? "What then?" Everyone looked at Him surprised by that.
"Oh, come on, gi-hun. Don't be so pessimistic." Young-il spoke with a slight chuckle. "With the way things are going, I think we should try to stay positive. yeah? So let's eat our food, pull ourselves together, and try our best in the next game." He picked up his milk and held it out for jun-hee. "Jun-hee, take this too. you'll need to regain your strength back."
"No, I can't. Its yours."
"its fine, I don't drink milk anyway." He places it in her hand. You stood up. "see you tomorrow guys, I'll go see how young-mi's doing."
