Currently, you're fighting the urge to fidget with anything around you. 212 is eyeing you like you're a nuisance, seemingly to show you that you were being dramatic. In your mind, you were just thinking the worse. What if this ended in flames? What if Saebyeok falls through a vent? What if someone hears her? Or what if the guard comes in a catches the vent open?
A soft sigh leaves your mouth, eyes closing in an attempt to slow your racing heart. Suddenly, 212 begins to scream about "hurrying up" and "coming out". She ignores the distasteful look over your features and continued to scream. Regardless of the quick thinking she did, the idea still scared you. Who knows the temper of those guards? They could just come in here and shoot you both because of her wailing and screaming about false constipation. Nevertheless, you're on your way to visit the stall across from her, but another scenario passes through your mind. Wordlessly, you walk towards the sink, crossing your arms with your eyes glued on the vent Saebyeok crawled into. "Why won't it come out!" 212 groans.
'Come on bee... get out of there'
The guard beats on the door and demands "It's time to come out". You swallow roughly and pushed yourself off the sink. 212 glances at you before hopping on the toilet to yell into the vents. "Just give me a second okay?" she says. You take the time to look around the bathroom to find anything to use as a weapon, and of course, there is nothing in here that could be used for anything defensive nor offensive. Saebyeok's knife was the only way. "We're in a rush here. Oh it's all blocked!" she screams more clearly, alerting Saebyeok as best she can, "hurry the hell up, we're in a rush!"
"It's time to come out!" the guard says with a bit more aggression than the last time. Understanding that he's coming in soon, you prepare to take him down if he decides to open the door. Breaking guns out of hands was something you've experienced more than anyone could guess. It's no challenge to you, but the backup he would have would be your challenge.
She nearly combusted at the sound of the door being rattled and jiggled. "Wait, the toilet paper is out! Yea the toilet paper ran out!" she ran to the sink and turned on the water, looking like an absolute madman as she screams. If part of you wasn't panicking about Saebyeok, you'd definitely be laughing at 212. "I'll just use the sink!" she lies. Deciding that another voice would be good, you work up a throaty groan, "Oh that's disgusting, get off of there!" you drag. A smile tugs at your lips but you're preparing Saebyeok to fall from that vent any moment now.
On queue, a pair of feet start to peak out of the vent! "Sabe" you dash into the stall, letting her slide into your arms. Her face is shiny with sweat, looking as if she's been through a sauna before she decided to fall into your arms like a blade-swinging angel. "About time" you huff with a small smile.
The guard forces the door open. As he probably expected, 212 is not in the sink washing her behind nor is she out of the stall. His boots are heavy and immediate as he forced the stall open.
He's stunned momentarily when he sees 212 with her pants down while she sweats profusely on the toilet. It's like he didn't expect someone to go to the bathroom to actually use it. Her strained expression turns into a face of fury as she screams bloody murder. "You pervert, you like watching girls use the bathroom!" --instantly, the stall shuts loudly. A giggle comes from the stall across, so he beelines it. There's another surprise as he sees your back, but seemingly in a heated makeout with 067. The kiss breaks with a wet smack as Saebyeok throws a glare over your shoulder. The guard bristles when you do the same, smirking in amusement.
"What a pervert"

SAEBYEOKS POV!
Y/N claimed that they'd be having another game for us soon, stating that they had a theory of what exactly the game could be because of the information I had told them. Besides that, they also told me more about themself and their reason for being here. Originally, they already gave me a small scoop, but from the last time we went home, there was new stuff. I could understand how they would be so dedicated to keeping a promise for someone they cared about deeply about. It was awkward... but I opened up to them.
Once they fully understood my situation, they kind of marveled about me being North Korean. They finish chewing their breakfast serving before speaking, "Defectors are pretty badass. Kudos to you and your family. Takes balls bee" they giggled at me. Naturally, I suppress my smile from shining, instead deciding to hit their shoulder with an eye roll. The moment is enjoyable and pleasing until 212's appearance makes me roll my eyes again, but with sincere disapproval. "What did you see... tell me?" she bends down into my bubble. Y/N grunts at 212 while they handed me a slice of their orange "you're adamant on being a nuisance aren't you?" they lean over me, getting in 212's face. "You got a crush on my girl?"
If I didn't care about hurting them, I would've facepalmed y/n myself; instead, I settle for pulling them back down into their seat. 212 lets out a haughty laugh, dramatically making a disgusted face. "Shut up, what did you see? It's the morning now, you promised" she demands once again, keeping up her reign from last night. To get her out of my hair, I speak clearly and quickly-- "Masked guys with pots, and they were melting a liquid down there". 212 perks up, closing in on me "What was it" she whispers. I look away, in thought of what I should tell her, but y/n chimes in before I could finish. "She couldn't tell" 212 scoffs and leans back. "I put on that little show to save your lives back there and you couldn't tell?" she said, disappointed but not angry. Before she could lose her hope, I mention the sugary scent of the liquid they melted. She doesn't seem so convinced and kept asking me questions until I decided to sit straight. I'm not willing to talk anymore.
212 began to make her leave, y/n sighs in relief but the relief is short-lived as she turns back towards me. "Hey, if you aren't telling me everything- I'll burn your eyes out with cigarettes" she threatens. Firing back, I can feel y/n shoot up from their slouched posture. Their words come venomous, making sure 212 know they're serious, "Watch your damn mouth. Remember you're just like everybody else in here" 212 steps back but y/n isn't finished. "I'm serious, don't talk to her like that"
3rd person pov
On the way to the next game, you couldn't help but feel like someone was coming behind you at an unreasonable speed. Protectively, you move Saebyeok ahead of you just as someone squeezes in next to you. It's the man with the glasses & he has a rushed tone to his voice as he speaks to Saebyeok. "You saw something right?". Saebyeok is caught off guard, but she remains silent as she walks in front of you. You shrug him off of you before coming sharply, "How do you know anything about that?" he swivels and responds "I happened to overhear her and 212 speaking last night. So tell me, what did she see?"
You considered giving him a small scoop of the situation, but this time you decided to keep quiet. Voice rasp, 067 questions him. "Why would I?"
"You're a defector, right?"
Behind her, you curse to nobody specific about him being "nosy as fuck"
"All the games we've played so far are games I've played since I was a young boy" he argues to silence. He has a good reason to know, but would knowing prior really benefit you any more than knowing when the time came? He could use the knowledge for himself, it was a risk. "The next game will be too, I bet" he's nearly leaning over you while he rambles into Saebyeok's ears. And surprisingly, she tells him about the melting of sugar in the kitchen. Finally, he backs off and thinks. 067 shares a glance with you before giving the man a look.
Discreetly, you mouth the words,
"Don't trust him"
