Each level kept growing by five customers, and they were getting very demanding. Juggling the tasks were now strenuous, welcoming, taking request, serving, orders, managing tables and most annoying keeping up with the game policies; Yujin was becoming a mess.
The blonde ticked off day eleven off the list, slumping on the bed with a loud huff. Her cuts had healed nicely, barely leaving a scar behind- Felix really did know what he was doing.
Well except letting her know what was going on, or at least why she could feel pain in game. She never really felt threatened in drive to experience such, except that one time she had ran into the garage's door.
Yujin didn't read too much into it at the moment, too pumped up with adrenaline to feel that much pain.
Felix's assail and the bottle incident made her question if she was in a game at all, creating a tunnel for a pack of what ifs in her head. What if the man she had first encountered was a meshuggener, who had kidnapped and placed her in a hostile village? But what would he gain from all these? The place looked oddly realistic enough, posing no threat, but she knew deep down something was wrong.
"What are you thinking about?"
Startled by the sudden intrusion of Felix's deep voice, panic flooded Yujin's nerves, sending her crawling out of the bed he was now perched on. "Personal space, felix-" The blonde yelled.
Felix rolled over, lying in a more comfortable position. "I just figured now that you know about your skin being vulnerable here, I should be more vigilant, you know?" he shot her a cocky smirk.
Yujin exhaled, trying to calm down. "Get out-" she pointed at the door.
"No," he refused, pulling her back on the soft mattress, he snuggled her closer to his side, feeling the warmth of her body and the rapid rise and fall of her chest as she breathed. "What if you sleepwalk and actually hurt yourself? I can't allow that."
"Felix, stop," Yujin writhed, unable to get out of his hold. "This is so weird."
The blond's grip didn't falter. "What's wrong with sleeping in the same bed with a complete stranger you met only two weeks ago?"
Yujin stopped struggling, shivering when his soft breath would brush past her exposed neck. "Everything! You creep!"
"I don't see anything wrong with it," the taller yawned, his tensed shoulders relaxing. "I don't just want anything to happen to you," his voice got an octave lower, drawled with exhaustion. "I can't fail to protect another player."

'Leave' didn't mean walking out of the game, or whatever form of disappearing she thought it meant.
The blonde watched her boss intensively, eyes misty with tears as she tried hiding how much pain she was going through. "This is exactly why you should always listen to me," Felix chastised, his eyes never leaving the burn on her wrist as he gently dipped his finger in some strange jelly beside him.
"But I don't wan- ah," Yujin hissed in pain when the cold substance made contact with her burning skin. At first it felt cool and soothing but gradually got hotter, creating a burning sensation she hated.
Felix looked at her, his eyes doe and shimmered with curiousity; a candid expression that revealed just how confused he was. The blond quickly looked away from her, the brim of his lips curved into a sly smirk. "Here's a tip; Close your eyes, it will make it less painful- but more thrilling."
Yujin huffed, staring at the lollipop trapped in his mouth, and how his lips jutted out in a pout, securing the stick and making him like a sulky child. "Why would I do-" Yujin paused, biting her lip to suppress a squeal.
The taller chuckled, finding her mannerism quite amusing. Once he made sure the bandage was wrapped at his finest to reduce the pain and fasten the healing process, he rose to his feet, patting her golden tresses. "Be more careful, Jinnie."
The blonde nodded. “Will do, Sir.”
“Wait, I have something for you,” Felix beamed, shoving his hand into his pocket, it only took a second for him to pull out a golden star sticker, quickly pressing the paper on her forehead, and before she could oppose, Felix pulled out the lollipop from his mouth, shoving it into hers instead. “A reward for not leaving,” his smile grew wider.
Yujin took out the candy from her mouth, spitting and retching in disgust. “Bro— dude— Felix, what the hell?” the taller chuckled at her reaction, running away before she could attack.
'Leave' meant dying, and the blond couldn't stop the last player from doing so.
