The next morning I woke up to no sign of sae-byeok except a note saying she went out to see her brother. I had no where in mind to go except my house let's just hope my mom is the only one there. After getting dressed in a oversized shirt and baggy jeans. Well there I was in front of my so called 'home'. I went up to the door and knocked 'please let mom open the door please please please'. Oh thank god she opened the door she looked very pale and her face was very puffy. "my baby ji-hye!" She greeted me with a very tight hug. "oh where were u? I was worried sick!" She asked in mid-tears. "uh I was at a friend's house" I can't just tell her 'hey mom I was playing a game for money and lots of people died'.

After catching up with my mom I heard the front door open. I looked and saw my dad 'oh no oh no please don't turn over here' . I could hear his footsteps coming closer and closer. "oh look who finally came to visit" he said as he took a seat "ji-hye do you know how worried we were" he said as he raised his voice just a bit I could feel the tears forming in my eyes. "I-I'm sorry" I managed to choke out. He came closer and slapped my face tears streamed down my face "do you not realize all we do for you" he yelled "a-all you do is abuse us" right after saying that I knew it was not a great timing to say that because he pulled my hair and slapped my face once more. I looked over to my mom why wasn't she helping me all she gave me was a sympathetic smile like that was gonna help me. He then kicked me in the arm leaving a bruise. "Now get out and never come we don't want you here you disgusting disgrace" he screamed I ran out crying my whole body was aching in pain. I just want to go back to the hotel I want to see saebyeok.

After waking all the way to the hotel i opened the door and saw saebyeok sitting on her bed she jumped up once she saw me crying. "hey shh what's wrong?" She grabbed my shoulders and made me sit down on her bed. After the crying stopped I started to explain on how I had nothing to do and decided to go to my parents house and how my dad gave me this bruise and yelled at me. "oh I'm so sorry" she then gave me hug and patted my back. My eyes started to get heavy. " I want to go back to the game" I mumbled and dozed off to sleep.

Sae-byeok's POV:
"I want to go back to the game" she mumbled what I thought why would she want to go back to that hell of a game? Well if she wants to go back she's not going alone I'm coming along. Ji-hye looked so peaceful while she slept I don't think she noticed but she looks so cute on my lap. I started to play with hair it was soft and fluffy. I don't know why but when I'm with her I feel this very weird feeling in my stomach like butterflies. She's so pretty. Before I knew it I fell asleep.

I woke up and still saw Ji-hye sleeping on my lap I made sure to not make any sounds that could wake her up. Eventually she woke and realized where she was sleeping she jumped up "o-oh I'm so sorry" her face flashed red she's so cute. She got up from the bed and went to the bathroom. After we both got ready to go out we found a card that was slid under our door. It was the same exact card for the game. Ji-hye peaked and took a look at the card "should we call it?" She asked while staring at me. "Yeah since you wanted to go back" I replied back.
