"Scissors~" Haeju announced with such a pleasant expression.

"JAEIN LOST!!!" Everyone screamed. Chaos filled the atmosphere as their leader's monarchy fell down before their very eyes. Jaein didn't want to believe the harsh, crushing reality that came upon her.

"I lost... This can't be true.."

"Let's see, I've lost 12 million to you but now I've won 100 million won so... 88 million won please? Thank you for your generous payment~" Jaein became scared of Haeju's calm, smiling face but the truth made her on the brink of tears.

"How did I lose 88 million won... I should have got money of her... not the other way around... Haeju, what are you..."

"Will you give me the money now?" Jaein tried to keep it in but she was humiliated to the point that everyone would judge her every movement. She could only put her head in shame.

"I can't but let me pay the money in a few days." Haknyeon, for once in his school life, felt sorry for Jaein, despite the things she has done to him. Haeju got up and left the class, leaving a thank you and goodbye from her mouth. Haknyeon chased after her as he wanted her to ask his unanswered questions.

"Why did use you use scissors? How did you know she was going to use paper?"

"I knew what she was planning so I just have to find out which card was the most voted."

"How did you know-"

"It was hard for me since there was no pattern in her cards or bets and no signals she made. But then I realised they weren't looking at me but... you."

"I see but how did you pull scissors at the end if it is unlikely to draw that card?"

"Pure luck, I guess." Haeju chuckled, leaving Haknyeon speechless

"Y- You are telling me you got 10 mill- million won from LUCK?" Haeju noded. "Na Haeju, what exactly are you?"

"During the beginning of the last round, you would have been more successful if you didn't tell her. Why did you..."

"It's more thrilling when there are risks." Instead of being worried for Haeju's sanity, Haknyeon was jealous of Haeju's mindset.

"I wish I could be you," Haknyeon sighed, making shocked. The more he talked, the more Haeju felt the sincerity and envy in Haknyeon's expression. "If I was... my debt of 500 thousand would be already payed off but I keep digging more of the hole. I'm such a coward... Haeju.. I'm sorry."

"Here." Haeju took out some money and gave some to Hankyeon. He became confused to Haeju's act of gratitude. "Thanks to you, I was able to have such fun in such a long time. Thank you so much."

She started to walk away from the contemplating Haknyeon. Before she disappeared from his sights, she stopped. She turned around with the most oddly sincere smile, making Haknyeon smile at her words.

"Haknyeon, Are you willing to take a risk?"
