Take a Risk (PD101 S2)

3rd Pov
Despite Jaein's knowledge of the game, Woojin explained the rules.

Rules:

There will be 3 rounds but if one person won 2 rounds already, it would be an automatic defeat to the other person. Before the rounds start, each player will shout either odds or evens to determine, which side they are on - The first player who says it first gets that side while the other gets the other side.

Like Rock, paper, scissors, you have a countdown. Once the countdown ends in 'shoot', you show either 1 or 2 fingers. You can only use 2 fingers: your index and middle finger. You can choose to use one finger and two fingers to indicate a one or two. The total sum of the fingers are either odd or even and if the person choose the result, they win. (E.g if odd is the result, the person who chose odd wins the round)

Then, the winner of the previous round picks if they want odd or even.

"When we shout what side we want to be on, why don't we shout as soon as soon as a coin reaches contact with the floor?" Woojin suggested while taking a 500 won coin out of his pocket. Jaein stared at the coin for a while before agreeing to his idea.

Jaein's Pov
Before the game even started, I was lost in thought. I wondered what he wanted when he said that if I lose, I owed him a 'favour'. However, I should focus on the game - I didn't want to lose...

As my mind concentrated on winning, I calmed myself down. I didn't want to show any fear to this guy. "If I'm going to win, I should pick a more favourable side. If I pick the 'even' side, I have a 2/3 chance of winning. However, if I pick the 'odd' side, I have a chance of 2/4, which equals a 1/2 chance. It's a 66.67% chance (even) over a 50% chance (odd)."

After finally making up my mind. I waited for Woojin to drop the coin. I fixated my senses to my ears and eyes, waiting for the coin to drop. Once his closed hand opened, my ears awaited for the sound that would decide the game if the cards are played right.

"EVEN!" I shouted as if my life depended on it. However, I only looked like a fool when I realised that he didn't say a single word. Every time I looked to see his reaction, he was always smiling...

It wasn't a pleasant one but rather one that would give you goosebumps at the back of you neck. The smile reminded me of a very intimidating person: Na Haeju. Giving off the same atmosphere yet having different goals in their mind.

Even if we stood still, it felt as he as coming closer and closer, preparing for an attack. Like a mouse fighting a snake, I stood there helplessly at the vicious predator.

"Park Woojin, what exactly are you planning?"
