"Kim Dong Hyun was a citizen."

You widen your eyes as you take a look at your phone. You bring down the juicebox you were just drinking from, sharing a glance with the boy in front of you.

You all made your way down to the entrance of the building, the three following behind. It was sundown by the time you meet the group of Jun Hee at the entrance.

"What happened to Dong Hyun?" You asked. They all looked sullen, but you look at them expectantly.

"He thought.." It was So Mi who answered you, "the white line disappeared and went to check on it... But he slipped."

You got a strange feeling about what she said. You knew better than to judge quickly, but you couldn't help it. This was life or death, and desperate people will do desperate things.

So Mi was self-centered, mafia or not, from what you could tell. You couldn't bring yourself to fully believe what she said, and you couldn't put it past her to being an accomplice in Dong Hyun's death.

"What about the village? How far did you go?" It was Kyung Jun asking now, but no one could look him in the eye. "You said you'd find people and ask for help!" He started raising his voice, "Did you?" You didn't like when he did that.

"We couldn't. It's all blocked by the lines." Kyung Jun threw his bottle across the room in frustration.

"Hey," You turned to Jun Hee, "That means we're trapped here until we finish the game?" He nodded. You wanted to cry.

You couldn't take this anymore. You just wanted to go home. You'd rather be doing school right now. Now that you think about it, you miss the tiring, hellish school days. You'd pick that over this anyday.

Everyone went back to their rooms and you returned to the cafeteria with the three boys, now joined by Da Beom.

"Do you like sesame?" You place the boiling hot instant ramen in front of Da Beom. "Yeah, thanks."

"Our taste in ramen is the only thing we have in common." Seung Bin said.

"Then, do you have different tastes in music?" Jin Ha tried placing the headphone on Seung Bin and they started bickering. You just sat back down and rolled your eyes, they were comparable to children.

"Hey nerd, games are your expertise. Did this game previously exist?" Kyung Jun finally acknowledged Da Beom.

"No, I've never seen it." Da Beom replied, "And I'm not a nerd."

"Alright, sorry." Kyung Jun laughed, "Anyway, what do we have to do to win this game?"

"It's the same as the mafia game.. Haven't you played it before?" Da Beom said.

A moment of silence. "Who doesn't know that, you fuck." Kyung Jun deadpanned.

"You're the only one who knows if you're a civilian or a mafia until you die. You need to find out who is in what role in the ither team. Doctors and police are on the same side as the civilians. The team that kills the other team first, wins."

"Fuck, when are we going to find all the mafia?" Seung Bin sighed, "Hey, what if we just kill whoever? Then the game will just end."

"You said you're also a civilian," Jin Ha said, "We just need to kill the mafia, why kill everyone?"

"It says to kill them all, you dumbass." They start bickering, again. Such utter idiots.

"Shit! Shut up will you?" Kyung Jun yelled, "Choi Joo Won, why did he die if he was the mafia?"

"I don't really know either." Da Beom said. "It says the mafia must kill someone. There must've been a reason that Joo Won was killed instead of a civilian."

"What if a civilian kills a mafia?" Seung Bin asks. "Is that allowed?"

"That's not in the rules, so I'm not sure.." Da Beom answered.

"Let's just round up all the mafia and tell them to kill their teammates." Jin Ha said. You wanted to roll your eyes. Does he have common sense?

"Good idea." Seung Bin agreed. "Right? I'm a genius!"

"Sounds good, right?" The blind leading the blind. "Sounds good."

"Gosh, you dumbasses." You say, "What part of that plan sounds good? Are they just going to admit they're mafia?"

A moment of silence, the only noise being Kyung Jun fidgeting with his lighter.

Da Beom looks at the chopsticks in Jin Ha's hand, then over to you. "Let him eat, Jin Ha."

He hands him the chopsticks and just as he takes a bite, Jin Ha quickly slides Da Beom's phone over to Kyung Jun. You were confused, you weren't made aware of this plan. "What are you doing?"

"We can eat with you once we've confirmed you're an ally or foe." Kyung Jun said.

Da Beom stood up, reaching for his phone. "What are you saying? Give me my phone."

Seung Bin throws a punch to his gut. This wasn't going anywhere good, you needed to stop it. If this escalated any further, you all would be suspected. But you know they won't listen to you, you just pray that someone comes.

"What are you doing?" Da Beom asked.

"If I can use someone else's phone to vote, I can target the votes as I please." You thought that was a good idea, but god, this was such a terrible way to go about it.
