pyramid game | enemies to lovers

part 18

Sooji's POV:

"it's different from the last one, right?" i ask Seunghwa.

"it is. you just have to install it secretly and press the power button. are you sure about this?" he asks.

"you got the recording files. i'm sure you heard everything. ending the game isn't enough. i must finish Baek Harin. that's my final goal. that's why i need this. the video can't get disconnected or shut down during the live stream. the problem is, they must be checking the internet about Kim Dayeon's scandal, right?"

"we need a way to distract their attention" he says.

"the recording file. hashtag, KDY. can you upload the title first?" i ask him. "we'll get them to focus on that first. in the meantime, we can live stream the classroom"

"the aftermath of the live stream will be pretty bad"

"that's what i want. school violence isn't everything. Mr. Im has been feeding off us like a parasite for a reason. Ko Eunbyeol, Jung Yeondoo, there could be more students, perhaps. they might be involved in tampering grades"

...

the last thursday of every month. the day of pyramid game.

Jaehyung's POV:

"Jaeun!" Jiae says, when she spots Jaeun walking in front of us.

"hey, Jaeun!" i say, running towards her along with Jiae. "don't act like my friend"

"what's this? why did my heart flutter just now? a maltese is pretending to be a doberman. that was stupidly cool" i say, pushing at her shoulder.

"Jaeun, can you scowl at me more?" i grab her by her arm but she pushes me away. i almost fell, but she grabbed a hold of my arm preventing me from falling.

"are you okay-" she lets go of my arm and walks away.

"did you see that?" i ask Jiae. "her body is as sturdy as a michelin tire"

"by the way, what's the matter with her? it's like she's gone back to her old days. did she bomb the exams?" Jiae asks me.

"you really have no idea about Jaeun. she never got good grades, anyway"

Mikasa's POV:

i'm stood at the very back around the corner watching Yerim perform at the baekyeon girls' high school festival, she debuted.

once the performance is finished, i'm walking around with Doah when the bell suddenly rings. it's time for the pyramid game.

i sit down on my desk, waiting for everyone else to arrive.

"what about Sung Sooji and Im Yerim?" Doah asks.

everyone turns around when the door gets slammed open. what's Dayeon doing here?

"why didn't you ask for me, Doah? i'm still in this class" Doah doesn't say anything, no one does.

"Dayeon.." i say. she makes eye contact with me before she walks over to her desk, sitting down next to Seolha who obviously ignores her.

"are those sirens?" Yeondoo asks. everyone turns their attention from Dayeon, to the sound of sirens. is the ambulance here? why?

"we'll begin the 16th pyramid game. but before that, Harin. you said you wanted to address the class" Doah says.

Harin gets up from her desk and walks up to the front of the class. "i'd like to pick someone who will permanently stay in grade F through today's vote"
