i wake up in a single, itchy, uncomfortable bed. Jesus there's a lot of people here i think to myself, i look down "number 69" i say out loud with a smirk on my face. To my left i see a black curly haired man with a shaven beard, he speaks to me "hello." I respond back to him with a smile "hi number 199" he looks at me weirdly then sees 199 on the left side of his jacket "oh sorry, i'm ali you?" i think he's nervous, who wouldn't be we have no idea what we are doing here. "y/n, my name is y/n nice to meet you ali" i say. he smiles widely as walking down the steps. I get myself up, a crowd of players swarming the door waiting for it to crack open to leave this place. This might be a mistake i say to myself, what's the point of this? i look over and see Ali staring at me with widened eyes i slowly walk down the steps nearly slipping; shaking violently. I shouldn't be scared.. should i?

Suddenly a circle starts to form in the centre of the hall A man and woman are viciously charging at eachother. I stand next to Ali, he's the only person i've talked to here. The woman number 67 drops to the floor i run into the circle to give her a hand "fuck off" she says to me as i give my hand out. What did i do? she's a right bitchy one. SMACK! The cold stone touching my left cheek blood gushing from my head. Screams everywhere, a ringing in my ear as loud as a siren, my eyesight becomes fuzzy. Everything becomes a blur.

Opening my eyes to the sound of a laugh. "Ali?" i say struggling to speak. Surrounded by unfamiliar people. "y/n! your awake! shes awake! these are my friends, say hello!" ali announces. 01, 456, 067 and.. "Cho sang-woo.." i whisper. Ali in surprise "you know her? why didn't you say?", his eyebrows raise quickly whilst his hand is touching my leg. Sang-woo looks down in disappointment " we went to school together for a year before college that was it, she ruined my education. Haven't seen her since, i forgot about her to be honest."I look at him in confusion.. is he really serious right now? "y/n your in bad shape you have a concussion you need some rest!" Ali says in concern. I shut my eyes and fall into a swarm of darkness

A loud sound awakens me, the doors are open it's our first game. How am i supposed to do this? i can barely stand up? i'm completely fucked. A droplet runs down my cheek "i'm going to die." Ali turns to me to help me out of bed to get to our first game, it's turning, twisting, my vision is lost. I should pull myself together.  

Red light, Green light. My worst childhood game, i can't believe this. My heart is racing, i'm gasping for air. i start to limp fast. "RED LIGHT" i stand as still as a stone statue, in the corner of my eye i see Ali. He's good at this game i can tell "GREEN LIGHT" I suddenly have hope, i run and run and run, then i miss my landing "RED LIGHT" As i'm prepared for my death i feel a hand clench onto my jacket saving me from dieing. "GREEN LIGHT" i turn whilst running, sang-woo? HE saved me? That can't be right? HE HATES ME? i leap over the finish line as the clock turns to 00:00 "just in time" i tried to say whilst out of breath.

Later on that evening, we are all sat round having our supper, "what are all your names then" i ask. "go on don't be shy now, wanna be called by numbers?" Sang-woo looks to me with a arrogant look "no need to be fiesty y/n"
i look back at him " no worries sang-woo, i know you find it attractive so i won't" with a smirk on my face. "How'd i get a concussion anyway? was it you?" turning to 067. "it wasn't me, 101 is responsible his names deok-su. He's a little bitchy snake, ironic he's got that tattoo" Everyone laughs.

Before bed, i see Sang-woo is walking to his bed. "thank you" i say in a kind manner "you saved my life after the way i treated you, and i'm sorry" he looks down on me "y/n no need for the fake ass apology i did it for Ali, your his friend and he needs you. I didn't do it for you i did it for him." i look at him, i didn't see the boy that would help me out with my homework and give me his chocolate milk at lunch. He was a stranger. "just know i'm truly sorry sang-woo and i hope you can forgive me" He stops the long lasted eye contact and puts his hand on my shoulder. "go to bed y/n you'll feel better after sleeping" He let's go and walks away. I should listen to him, he's right.
