Gamble • PARK JAY

You were walking down the city sidewalks as you swiftly passed people. You were out on a mission, a personal mission you'd consider as 'fun'. And even though this kind of 'fun' mission was technically considered illegal, it didn't stop you, but hey, if no one sees, then no one knows.

"Mmm~" you softly hummed a short melody as you entered a casino, it was a Saturday night, the busiest time of all. Though you couldn't deny it either, the casino is your favorite place to guilt-trip people into giving you money, or in other words, scam. But oh well, you never got caught doing so.

As you were walking past the building doors, you were stopped by a nice voice echoing into your ears, you turn sharply as a smile displayed on your face

"Again Y/N?" you turn your head towards the receptionist desk as you notice a familiar face behind the counter. You start grinning from ear to ear as you make your way toward the person, a pounce of excitement now running through your veins

"It's nice to see you again Kagmi" you smiled, Kagmi was the only person in the casino who knew of your intentions, she had never stopped you from doing what you do even though she could get fired from it, but you coming in every once in a while was her only source of enjoyment, it was a win-win in her point of view.

"Any information that'd help me enjoy this lovely night?" you ask Kagmi. Kagmi smirks at your question as she answers.

"I had a feeling you were coming today, I observed some of the tables and found some people you might enjoy playing with~" Kagmi cooes, she wiggled her eyebrow as you shoot her a laugh, you couldn't help but smile at Kagmi's effort into supporting you, oh isn't it fun to have someone you can rely on!

"That's great! Send me a text of the names and tables, I'll be sure to check them out, Thanks Kagmi, I'll slip a few hundreds to you before I leave" You wave the female good bye before traveling deeper into the casino, you were prepared and ready for another night of gambling.

The first game that caught your eye was a card game, you've always liked to start these adventures with card games, it was the easiest game to manipulate people. You quickly make your way towards the area as you sat down next to a tall male, he had a mask on, along with a black hat. He was dressed rather nice but he still had a ghetto vibe to him

"Alright, all players in?" the game instructor says, a few bills were thrown at him as a confirmation that some were playing, the rest were awkward bets specters surrounding the table had thrown in too. You gave the instructor a $20 bill as you waited for him to divide the cards. As you sat more comfortably on your seat, you take a quick glance at the boy beside you once more before collecting the cards the instructor had just shuffled.

"Card 1, choose your card, throw it in, lowest score eliminated." the instructor says, everyone playing then throws in a random card, you sigh deeply at the slow start before throwing in a card too noticing how the male beside you had handed his card in already.

'Quick and precise, I like that'  you think, the instructor proceeds to flip the cards over as he looks at the numbers, he nods sternly as he points at a person, saying a few things to go along with his movements

"Player 6 out, 5 players left, 2 cards in, middle score out, no aces, kings, queens, or jokers, play in." the instructor directs. You throw 2 more cards in along with everyone else as you watched the instructor repeat the same steps one again, he quietly adds the numbers up before pointing at yet another person

"Player 2 and 5, tie, both out" the instructor replies. You sigh deeply at how slow things were processing, you tilt your head as you waited for the instructor to collect all the cards again and shuffle them. You stay silent and start observing the place as a way to pass time, as you were having this moment of peace, you were startled by a sudden voice talking to you.
