Pyramid Game (Ha-rin X Reader X Ja Eun)

A Taste Of Power With Freedom

Episode 3 Part 2

Soo Ji stared at her classmates as they cornered Ji Ae into a circle. The girl seemed to be so scared. But Soo Ji couldn't care anymore. She was free from it now. She couldn't care about getting rid of the game for she was now safe with Ha Rin's reassuring words.

She didn't feel pity for her for she had never felt pity for her either. If only, she agreed to the voting plan they brought, she could have been saved. Technically Ji Ae herself was to blame. She had it coming her way and the game just brought it out for her. She turned away just to hear Yu Rim, Hae Jun and Ye Won call her.

"Hi, Soo Ji. We greeted each other in the chatroom yesterday." Hae Jun said as she approached Soo Ji desk with her arms linked with Yu Rim."Your bangs are pretty cute. Where did you get them done?" Hae Jun asked Yu Rim nodding along. "I have always wanted to be your friend. Could we forgive and forget?" Ye Won asked hopefully as she smiled at Soo Ji.

"Don't tell me you're one to hold grudges." Ye Won said suspiciously as she frowned a little. She then brought her hand showing Soo Ji expecting some kind of reply in form of a handshake. Soo Ji had flashbacks of when they belittled her and made fun of her laughing at her pitiful situation justifying the bullying. She brought her hand quickly to meet hers smiling.

"It's fine. After all, I was Grade F back then." She smiled reassuringly towards the girls. "You're not as rough around the edges than I thought." Hae Jun said Ye Won and Yu Rim agreeing.
"That's the kind of people I like." Soo Ji looked behind the girls to look at Ha Rin empty seat her eyes going towards Y/n seat too just to find it empty too."What are you looking at? Ha Rin?Y/n?" They all looked there. "They're skipping school today for a field trip."

"I see."

Ha Rin now blankly stared at a sign which had the words written Hanuel House on it.

"Hey, let's play." A little girl ran towards Ha Rin wanting to play with her. Ha Rin turned towards her emotionlessly and then smiled as she bent a little to look at her. "Can you give me your hand?" Ha Rin asked with a smile on her face, the girl agreeing putting her hand out with a smile. Behind, Ha Rin held a lighter in her hand as she opened it and put it on.

The same girl ran in crying as a caretaker tried to take her away. Y/n looked at the situation wondering what's happening as she stood with her own grandma, Mrs Hwang Ari. Ha Rin's grandma looked at them as the little girl resisted against the caretaker. As soon as Ha Rin passed by, her dad smile dropped. Y/n attention now on Ha Rin, she linked her hands with Ha Rin pointing at multiple objects in the place they were at.

The little girl had swollen and looked a little red. She covered it as she glared maliciously at Ha Rin. Y/n looked at what Ha Rin was looking at to notice a little girl glaring at her.

"Ha Rin." You started making Ha Rin turn towards you. "Why is she staring at you like that? Did you do something to her or what?" Y/m joked around not knowing what she was saying was actually kinda of true.

"Ha Rin, she looks a lot like you from back when you were young. Ari don't you agree?" Mrs Baek said as Mrs Hwang agreed. "She does kinda look like her with the glare and all. I do wonder why she is looking at us like we had murdered her entire family or is it someone amongst us that did something to her?" Mrs Hwang said as Y/n nodded. "She has been looking at-"

"Grandma, Mrs Hwang, can I take y/n around?" Ha Rin interrupted Y/n making her look at Ha Rin confused wondering why she randomly asked.

"Sure."

"But-" Y/n said in confusion as she wondered why Ha Rin was taking her away.

"I guess you can but be careful you too especially y/n." Mrs Hwang said as she looked worriedly at Y/n.
