Yumin goes by she as well as xe, to avoid confusion.

—

Yumin was a normal person. She was nothing crazy, nothing popular. She could be described on the rather quiet side, and she liked to view herself as a kind and shy individual. Although she did get nervous rather easily...And now was one of the prime examples of this. Sweaty and nervous, Yumin could not control herself. Xe was kidnapped and thrown into a room with what seemed like a million strangers, more waking up at the moment.

As Sofie allowed them to leave, she heard the dark brown haired man barking at the other kind one. Yumin xerself was not paying attention to everything that was going on, but it's not like she was not one to zone out. At least the rude man had retreated into a corner now, quiet. This allowed Yumin to relax a small bit.

Right after this had happened, the young child with bright pink hair had woken up. Yumin would refer to this kid as panda kid, since he had the cutest panda hoodie ever! The panda kid was clinging onto an older woman, who was the one who asked that odd question...She continued to speak, and it was rather clear how she acted. Much too young for her age. 

"Ooh! Ooh!" The childish lady continued, raising her hand. "What sort of game is this?" Sofie had turned to the woman, a sinister and unnerving grin appearing on her face. 

"It is a fun one, I promise!" The host merely answered, vague in her choice of words. It seemed that Sofie was good at dodging questions, so what was the point of asking? Oh...if they could not find a way out, and asking questions didn't work, what were they all going to do?! Yumin calmed herself before continuing these thoughts, knowing that she was better off focusing on the present. Speaking of which, the panda kid had woken up now, speaking a few words.

"Mmmh... What is going on...?" They asked, and Sofie had answered their question, summarizing what she had told the rest of the group. Yumin did not pay too much attention, due to the same moment as a much older man woke up as well. Yumin guessed he was in his late 30's, maybe in 40's. She had not much time to dwell on that, as the kind man from earlier had decided to hug xer out of seemingly nowhere. Was she really that visibly nervous? Oh, just the thought of that made her even more anxious.

"Miss. It's okay...everything will be fine. Please stay calm...not like..." The kind man glanced to the rude one, before turning to face Yumin with the most sweet smile she could imagine as of that moment. Well, she could not just stay in her thoughts, she had to speak. So she quickly thought of something as to say, and came out with something contributing.

"A-ah. I'm...I'm alright! Thanks...I was j-just, uhm...wanting to tell everyone that we...should probably i-introduce ourselves, since this game might be a teamwork game and...we all...might be able to get o-out by teamwork, so..." She replied, beginning to fiddle her hair. If Yumin was going to go by this, she would of course have to ask the kind man's name.

"Ah, did I scare you? So sorry, Ms. Yumin. About that idea of yours, I think that's a really smart move, however if everybody had been a little calmer, things would have gone smoothly...but no...somebody had to stress everybody out, huh? So sorry about that..." The other replied , chuckling, before she got a chance to continue. He let go of her, straightening his posture.

"W...what's your name...? I-if you don't mind, that is...I'm Yumin Kang...! You can call me Yumin, or M-min if you'd like." Ooooh, curse her stuttering! Yumin hoped that the other understood her enough to get her gist. She would forever be haunted by this interaction if not.
