CHAPTER 42: her flicker of hope.
Y/n's POV.
"player 173, eliminated."
"player 240, eliminated."
my heart felt like it fell into a deep dark hole as I heard Ji-Yeong's number being mentioned after Kenji's.
"no..."
Ji and Kang Sae Byeok were partners.
Fuck.
My hands turned cold as I dropped everything I was holding and ran back to the room where the players were.
God please no this can't be true, this can't be happening.
I can't lose her too!
I realised I was the only player that hasn't come back, my eyes looked everywhere for them but all I saw was Gi-Hun, Sang-Woo, and...
"S-sae..."
She's here... she's okay, oh my god she's okay,
that means...
my tears started to roll down,
Ji-Yeong's gone.
I didn't hesitate to run towards Sae Byeok,
"Y/n..." she whispered, her sobs vanished as I engulfed her in a tight hug.
I'm sorry I couldn't be there for you and Ji.
It hurts so much, if I only knew it'll be the last time I'll see her I should've told her how thankful I am that I met her. Told her how her mom's passing wasn't her fault, that I'm proud of her for being so, so brave.
"I-i t-tried telling her to t-throw it again Y-y/n... I'm sorry..."
We lost so much, so much people that meant to us. It's all too much. There isn't anyone to blame, but why did we have to let them get away?
I wiped her cheeks, brushing her hair as I cried onto her shoulders.
I can't believe Kenji, Ji-Yeong, Ali and the old man are gone. Everything happened so quickly, and in just a pull of a trigger, gone.
"w-we both tried to stop them, Sae." my tears didn't stopped, as my cries only became more worse.
◾
"I'm sorry." she suddenly told me, the both of us laying down on her bed.
I understand now, Sae.
I should've understood what you were trying to point out to me, I wasn't just being giving. I was being naive, too naive. I should've known that woman would trick me, and that you were only worried about me. I'm sorry for being so inconsiderate.
