"The game you will be playing is Mingle."
Eden's lips were parted as she looked at all the doors in the room. "This cannot be happening..." she mumbled to herself.
Gi-hun, Jun-hee, young-Il, Jung-bae, and Dae-ho all stared at the girl in confusion, sharing a few looks at each others. They all shrugged then turned back to the girl whose eyes were on the three horses in front of them.
Gi-hun nodded to continue walking, and with hesitation, they did, leaving him and Eden alone.
"Seung-Hyun..."
Before he could say anything else, she cut him off. "This is exactly like the dream I told you about," she stated, looking around. "It's exactly the same." She whispered in worry.
"All players, please step onto the center platform." They both looked around and sighed, "when the game starts, the platform will begin to rotate, and you will hear the number."
Gi-hun eyed the girl, listening to the exact words the young woman had told him not too long ago from the woman in PA.
"You must form groups of that size, go into the rooms, and close the door within thirty seconds."
Eden mentally cursed herself before grabbing his hand and rushing to the others. With a small exhale and heavy breathing she stopped them as they stepped on the platform.
"We can't separate at all." She told them.
Daeho furrowed his eyebrows, "but they'll say other numbers." He said.
"Then we'll pair up," she said, turning to Gi-hun. "We're six, so we'll be able to do that."
"If the number is bigger than six, we'll get the additional people we need." Gi-hun seconded her comment.
"What if it's smaller?" Daeho asked, "like, three or four."
"Then we'll divide and look for others." She stated. "Just don't split at all."
The others nodded, noticing the anxiety she was radiating. Daeho stared at her before pulling her away from the others, gently grabbing her arm with a small nod.
"What's wrong?" He asked.
Eden stared at him before looking away, not wanting to meet his eyes because every time she did, a flash of her nightmare would appear. The lying body of Daeho with a puddle of blood.
"Eden." He called.
She looked up and sighed, "it's nothing, Dae. Just...do what I said to do. Yeah? Let's pair up, be by my side." She said in a whisper.
"You want me to pair up with you?" He asked with a small smile.
"Please?" She pleased, "I just want to make sure we all get out." She added.
