"So Hayeon, would you like to join our group since you're Jayeons sister?" Jay offered.

A bit of time had passed, they'd already marked off the danger zones on Jake's map and moved to a safer area where they could talk in peace.

"Why not." Hayeon agreed, shrugging her shoulders as she sat in the grass with her legs crossed. "There aren't many people who'd want to join forces with me, especially after this morning's announcement."

"There was another announcement?" Jake questioned, turning to look at Jayeon. She sat with her back against a tree, gazing up at the clear blue sky above.

"Yeah, there was," Jayeon confirmed as she brought her head back down to look at him. "That blasted old man woke me up. I'm jealous of both of your abilities to sleep through such loud noises."

Jay chuckled and then turned his attention to Hayeon. "Then what did the announcement say about you then?" He enquired.

"That I've killed three people," Hayeon spoke bluntly.

Both boys fell into silence, the resemblance between them was blatantly clear. Jake decided to joke about it, "Well, I guess I can tell why you both are siblings."

It was eerie how they were in sync. Both girls turned their heads at the same time and even asked the same question in a synchronised manner. "How?"

"Except for having the same nose, the bluntness in your talking. You've both murdered a person, yet act as if it's not a big deal." Jake explained. "Oh, and that you both are unhinged."

"We're not unhinged." Jayeon disagreed with his assumption.

"Okay then, Hayeon, how did you kill the three girls then?" Jake turned to the older sister.

"I slit all their throats," Hayeon said with no expression.

"And Jayeon?" He then turned to the younger sister.

"Stabbed Sohee multiple times then cut her head off, Chaeun a clear headshot," Jayeon informed quickly.

"I tell you, Jay, they're unhinged." Jake turned to Jay who was barely listening to the current conversation.

"If you call them unhinged, then let's talk about what happened with Soomin." Jay brought up. "You were acting like a mad scientist as you mixed the poison into her food."

Jake suddenly went silent. "Yeah, Jake, you really showed your true colours." Jayeon joked, nudging his arm gently.

"Hasn't everybody?" Jake spoke. "This game has shown us how everybody is capable of murdering another person, even someone you may be close to. At this point, most people would do anything to win."

Hayeon exhaled, glancing at the grassy ground before her. "They really do." She mumbled under her breath. Though barely audible Jay was the only one who'd managed to pick up her words.

Bypassing her quiet comment, Jay turned to the group. "So what do we do now?" He queried.

"I may have an idea," Hayeon mentioned. "It may be a bad one, but it couldn't hurt to try."

"So what is it then?" Jayeon asked.

"I say we go after four people," Hayeon stated as she placed the exact number on her fingers. "Haeun, Minji, Hana, and Yerim. They're best friends, always together and could be a possible threat. They're likely to outnumber any singular opponent. Once they're out of the running, there'll be no more groups left, and we'll have a clear path to victory."

"I like the idea," Jay admitted. "But how do you suppose we kill or even find them?" Jay questioned.

"This." Hayeon pulled an item that was similar to a cellular device from her day pack. "It's an electronic GPS. It shows me where everyone is on the map. And right about now, they're camping in an old school building."
