《Jun-ho's POV》
As I exited the room, I sensed someone behind me. I turned-a square-masked guard was approaching, his steps quickening until he matched my pace.
"29," he said, sharp and cold. "Care to explain why you kissed Y/N behind the bunk bed?"
"I didn't," I replied with a hint of irritation.
"Don't play dumb with me." He stepped closer, his head turning toward mine. "You're lucky no players saw. Otherwise, you'd be dead by now."
I stopped walking. "Fine. So what if I did?" My tone sharpened. "You got a problem?"
He mirrored my movement, then suddenly shoved me hard against the wall. I hit the ground with a grunt, his boots crunching as he stood over me.
"You better watch your mouth," he said, grabbing my shoulder with a firm, bruising grip. "If I catch you kissing her again, I'll shoot you myself."
He straightened himself and walked off.
"Asshole," I muttered under my breath, getting back on my feet and following behind.
《Y/N's POV》
"Y/N, stick with us tonight," Deok-su said, placing a rough hand against my cheek.
I nodded silently, stepping closer. His arm wrapped around my shoulders, leading me to a bed-positioned between his and Mi-nyeo's.
Even though I trusted Sae-byeok, Gi-hun, Ali, the old man...hell, even Sang-woo, I needed to stay near the strong ones. The dangerous ones.
I sat down, watching the room. Gi-hun and the others were building a small barricade. Deok-su noticed too and moved toward them. I followed.
"Yo, Gi-hun," he called out.
Gi-hun looked up, metal bars between us. "What?"
Deok-su smirked. "Nice work you've done here. But do you really think that's gonna stop me if I decide to break through?"
Gi-hun didn't flinch. "Do you really trust your group?" he asked, gesturing to the people behind us. "If I were them...you'd be the first I'd take out. A big guy like you? You're a threat."
Deok-su's smirk faltered, his confidence dimming for just a second.
Gi-hun looked at me and offered a soft smile. "Stay safe, Y/N."
"I will," I replied. "Don't die either."
He chuckled and shut the barricade with a metal plate.
I turned to Deok-su. "Idiot!" I smacked him lightly. "Quit trying to intimidate people."
He followed after me. "I was just trying to rile them up."
I rolled my eyes and sat down again. Slowly, my body relaxed. The noise faded. My eyelids dropped.
《Next Day》
"Y/N."
I stirred, groaning.
"For fuck's sake, what now?" I grumbled, eyes half-lidded.
"It's time. Next game," Deok-su said. He picked me up bridal-style.
My eyes flew open. The room was already emptying-players being ushered out. He set me down so I could walk on my own.
We followed the others into a blinding white room with crisscrossing staircases.
"The next game will begin shortly. Please form teams of 10. You have 10 minutes."
People darted across the room, grabbing anyone they could. I stayed close to Gi-hun, Sae-byeok, Ali, the old man, and Sang-woo.
Sang-woo glanced sideways at me.
"What?"
"Nothing..." he mumbled. Then added, "Everyone, bring back another male. It's Tug of War-I saw it on the wall earlier."
We nodded and split up. I went straight to Deok-su.
"You in?" I asked.
He agreed instantly. His group didn't argue-probably assumed he joined because of me. They weren't wrong.
Back with the others, Sang-woo noticed our new team member.
"Sae-byeok," he said sharply, "I told you-only guys."
He was pointing at another girl, Player 240. She stood slowly.
"If this is a problem, I'll leave," she said quietly.
"No," Gi-hun cut in. "Stay. You're welcome here." He shot a glare at Sang-woo.
Sang-woo scoffed. "At least Y/N understood the assignment."
"Time's up! Proceed through the doors to begin the game."
We stepped through into a dizzying metal platform suspended high above the ground.
My stomach dropped. Of all things-it had to be heights.
Sang-woo pulled me in front of him, wrapping his arms around me.
A square-masked guard approached.
"What are you two doing?" he asked, suspicious.
"She's afraid of heights," Sang-woo replied bluntly.
The guard took another step forward and after a long pause, I clapped my hands between their faces.
"Alright, calm down."
They both blinked at me, stunned. The guard muttered something under his breath and walked away.
I leaned back into Sang-woo's arms again, ignoring the looks.
But, he didn't push me away.
