The time to sleep came in no time. Eden had been tired the whole day, she thought it was maybe the stress she'd been dealing with for the past days, she had been staying up for hours to just think. Think of what she could be doing outside, right now, in that moment. But she was stuck here, in this games of life or death, and oh, did she hope this next game wouldn't be as bad as the other two.
She was just hoping it wouldn't be the game she dreamt about.
"Bangs?"
Daeho peaked his head from behind the beds to the girl who was looking up blankly. "Eden?" She hummed, "you okay there?" He asked quietly.
She stayed silent, looking towards Jun-hee who was sleeping whilst holding her belly. She sighed and shook her head.
Daeho bit his lip before sliding out from below the bed, nodding her to follow him.
Gi-hun had told them and insisted them to sleep all together, that way it would be easier to protect each other if anybody were to attack at night. He had told them that in the games he played, many of the players died at night because of attacks from the opposing side. That didn't scare Eden, but it did make her think.
They had taken turns to do watch, so everyone could rest.
Daeho tapped the ground beaneth him for the young woman to take, she dragged her blanket with her and sat harshly on the floor. Daeho had chosen to do night watch with her, he wanted to get to know her, talk to her. He didn't know if it'd be the last time they would be doing this, he was hoping it wasn't.
"What are we thinking?" He asked.
He knew not to ask if she was okay for a second time, no one was.
Eden hugged herself with the blanket and sighed, "I'm thinking that...there's a possibility that I'll never make it out of these games." She confessed quietly.
Daeho stared at her with an unreadable expression, "we'll make it out, Eden." He whispered comfortably. "I'll get us out of here, I promise." He told her.
"You can't promise things like that, Dae." She whispered to him, "you can't pretend like these games aren't going to kill us." She said, "maybe not now, but..we could just die here." She added.
The man shook his head, "it's a promise I plan on keeping, yeah?" He promised, taking her hand in his, "Eden, I'll get us out of here, with or without the money." He nodded to himself when he saw her unsure expression, "and when we get out, we'll go somewhere nice with everyone and eat and drink, and do the stuff people usually do." He told her.
