first person perspective

-------------------


"WE will have to pick the ones who die."

"I know exactly what you're thinking. You think we're above all that. How can we kill others just to survive like we're some kind of animals? Normally I would agree with you. But what about the situation we're in now?" the white-haired guy said, his face, demeanor and  eyes spoke it all. He was radiating killer vibes across the cabin. "We have no choice. It's kill or be killed. Who can blame us when our own lives are on the line? Think wisely. The world you knew just ended. And in this new world... we have new rules to follow." Following his words was punching and slapping the old lady several time, each blow with blood-stained hands. 

"Are you all just gonna sit and watch? Do you want to die?" People looked at each other before following his actions. The woman in front of us was about to charge in and stop them but her partner grabbed her arm. He scanned the area of the cabin, and looked at Gilyoung. His eyes widened and went to him. 

"Excuse me." he said. He opened Gilyoung's bug box and handed him a grasshopper. "Here, take this." I scanned him up and down as he left. He was gonna leave us to die without handing us a grasshopper? Damn I'm lucky enough to be smart. Gilyoung handed the grasshopper to me.

"Y/N? Can you hand this to the lady over there?" he asked. I nodded and walked up to her.

"Pardon me miss, but could you hold out your hand?" I asked her. She turned to me and looked towards my hands. She hesitated, then turned to her partner.

"Please stop what you're doing! Killing that old lady doesn't mean you're going to live!" said the male. The woman turned to me.

"Are you trying to kill me?" I deadpanned at her. She sweat dropped and held her hand out, and then placed the grasshopper in her hand. She stared at it. 

"Oh." Yeah right. Oh it is. She crushed it and her blue screen showed up. She sighed and then held her hand out.

"Yoo Sangah." I took her hand and shook it.

"L/N Y/N. No honorifics, got it?" Sangah chuckled. "I made more friends on this train ride than I ever did in my entire life..." I mumbled. Sangah turned to Gilyoung and introduced themselves to one another. As they did, I listened to the male's words.

"Let's say we kill the old lady. What next? Yes, if that old lady dies, we will be able to buy some time because we killed something between the given time limit." Ironic, Sangah erased it but we can stay silent. I don't wanna attract attention to Sangah, Gilyoung and me. "But what will happen next? If what the dokkaebi said is true..." Oh so that's what the creature is. "...it means we all have to kill one person each. So who will you kill next? Will you kill the person beside you?" Great. Thanks Sangah for not doing anything about this. Glad Gilyoung's distracting her. The white-haired man manically laughed at the man's statement. 

"Isn't it obvious? We'll kill losers like you next!" His tone was.. sadistic. "No need to worry about your turn beforehand. The chances are fifty-fifty anyways." Sangah's partner looked ready with his answer.

"Why gamble with our lives... when there's a way to survive this without becoming a murderer?" Whispering and mumbling scattered with questions. "Have you forgotten? The scenario didn't say..."

"We have to kill a human being."

"It said we have to kill one or more living organisms." he said, holding up Gilyoung's grasshopper. With this, majority of the people in the cabin raged towards him... which meant our direction. And I swore, before Sangah's partner threw the bug box up in the air, he was smiling. That's not normal. Everyone dropped to the ground in an attempt to find one and kill it. Grabbing Gilyoung's and Sangah's shoulder, we dropped to the ground. They were the least to say surprised.
