   The lights where dimmed - the beds scattered the room with contestants rolling around in their beds nervous, shocked, and stunned after the first games.
Some where able to fall asleep faster than others as the piggy bank lit up bright in the room creating a dimmed yellow light on the ceiling.
     Sweat dripped down your face feeling your hands tremble looking over at others sleeping.

How am I not able to fall asleep...

Your hands cramp up as you fold them into a fist holding back the shakes - instant memories of the gunshots flood your mind creating your hands to tremble more -

The bed was uncomfortable, bed sheets made of cotton and the pillow having no bounce, the metal plates where cold - no boundaries on the bed making it so you could easily fall off. The thoughts of everything going bad came flooding in once again -

Suddenly your bed bounces as you feel the presence of another person on your cot -
You shudder afraid to turn around

"Cant sleep?"
You hear a familiar voice behind you, raising the hairs up on your neck.

Player 067 *Sae-Byeok*
Sits behind you crossing her legs brushing the small piece of her bangs from her face as you turn around.

You clear your throat feeling a sudden relief

"Not after today's game no.."
You shake your head as she quickly grabs your hand holding it in hers.

"You're safe with me got that?"

Her face emotionless although ever so reassuring , her hands warm, soft and provided so much comfort.

Before you can say anything she rolls over on her side patting the bed for you to join

"Here I'll keep watch with you tonight"

You snuggle into her body

"This won't be an every night thing"

She sighs sweeping the hair from your face

"This won't be an every night thing okay?"

She says again gripping you tighter into her body

"Okay"

You sigh, feeling yourself slowly drift asleep in her arms

Her warmth and presence was so comforting as she wraps herself tighter into your body rubbing her face into your neck making your hair rise.

You flinch as she hugs you even tighter
