I walked to where Gi-hun was and nodded, the vote continues and I see the girl named Semi voted to go and I smile, watching as she walked to our side.
I watched as the other players vote, we got excited when a O voted X but not too excited because anyone could ruin it any minute now.
When Young-il made his vote, it ended with a tie, and the guards tell us we'd have to vote again tomorrow.
An hour later, we all line up and a bottle of drink and gimbap, I sigh and began to eat it, Seo-yeon munching on her food. I shook my head.
"Goddamn people... they're brainwashed." Seo-yeon said, making Dae-ho chuckle at her.
246 suddenly spoke. "When we vote tomorrow, do you think we'll win?"
"There's no other choice. Like Dana said, we have to convince them." Young-il said, taking a bite of his gimbap. "See if we can get a few to change sides."
Then both sides started to argue and I noticed Gi-hun staring at the fork we all got with our gimbap. I turned towards him.
"What's wrong?" I ask and look at him, Seo-yeon looked at him as well.
"This fork... it's a weapon..." he whispers and holds up the fork.
Weapon?
I look confused but had the urge to use the restroom, as I stand, I walk out the door with the circle shaped window.
As I walk towards the bathroom, I see player 125 run past me and back inside the room, I looked surprised and looked to where he must've came from.
Then I heard banging, coming from the men's restroom, two guards were standing in front of it, guarding it. One of them points their gun at me.
"Head back."
"What-"
"Head back. Now or we shoot."
I held up my hands. "Okay! Okay!" I turn around and run back inside the room.
...
Thirteen minutes later, the voice had called out players who've been eliminated, the first number being Thanos' number, I felt my heart drop for some reason. It's not like I was happy, I was just shocked.
I let out a gasp and grip my hair, feeling a pair of eyes on me and I turn to see Young-il staring at me, I look away and wipe my invisible tears.
Someone decided to do a headcount and we happened to lose two men on our side, so we have a chance of winning tomorrow's vote.
"Attention players, lights out will be in thirty minutes," the voice says. "Prepare for bed."
As we all stood up, I noticed the other side eyeing us weirdly, as if planning something for us, I didn't trust them not one bit.
We didn't get ready for bed, instead we sat in a circle, talking about the O's on the other side of the room.
"They look really suspicious..." I start, looking around everyone.
