Take a Risk (PD101 S2)

"Shall we start our first round?" He suggested while smiling. Jaein shivered at the sight of his smile: she couldn't get rid of the aura of Haeju out of her mind. She nodded in response while giving Woojin a cold glare.

"Concentrate Jaein, Lets just remind himself of his weakness and hopefully beat him-" Jaein realised that she couldn't think of any.

It wasn't because he had no flaw: everyone in this school was bound to have some, but because no one ever knew him. He was in the student council but yet no one ever talks about him like he just remains in the shadows. But he must be good since he is the top 6 but why wasn't there any gambling topics involving him.

Even though Woojin didn't look like your cliche 'mysterious' type guy, no one knew anything about him expect Daniel, himself. The fact no one knows anything about Woojin intrigued her. She wanted to expose him - the thought of power over people made her extremely happy like when Haeju takes on a difficult gamble/risks.

"3,

2,

1,

Shoot!"

Both players revealed their hands to show the results: Woojin choose 1 finger while Jaein also chose 1 finger too. It was Jaein's win. She felt so relieved to see that she had the first win; one more win means that Woojin would lose and her debt would be gone.

While Woojin had the exact same face every time she saw him, It annoyed Jaein. She wanted him to get nervous but maybe she was expecting too much from a member of the top 11. Instead of him worrying, she began to worry even though she had the advantage.

"So what will you choose this time?"

"Odd." Jaein replied. Hoping to get it right logically. This time, she used the probability tree theory.

"3,

2,

1,

Shoot!"

Her face dropped as she saw the results. It was Woojin's win this time... She didn't know if it was luck helping him or he strategically thought about it.

Anyways, this meant they both were one win from win. If she loses, she would be in more debt and the chance of a pending doom. She hated to lose especially to those who thought they seem superior to her.

"I'm allowed to choose any fingers, right?" Jaein was surprised at his sudden question. Was he planning something or did he just have a terrible memory? However, this time he said it in such a serious voice, that made his 'normal' tone not so scary anymore.

"As long as, it's your index or middle finger..."

"Okay, then... I choose... Odd!" As if it was an illusion, in a instant, he had that big dumb goofy smille. That moment kept repeating in her mind, making her mind blank- , "3,

2" Wait, she wasn't ready-

"1

Shoot." Jaein closed her eyes and hoped for the best as she panicked. Slowly, she opened her eyes to see that both of them chose their index finger. Her legs collapsed to the floor as she cried out of happiness.

"I win." Woojin proclaimed. Jaein was confused: was he blind or just ignorant? However, Jaein was speechless to what was in Woojin' hand: he opened it up to reveal a real, frozen middle finger, which looked like it was recently cut off.

Jaein felt like throwing up at the sight of the dead finger. She was right all along. She knew he was a physco under that fake smile.

"That doesn't change anything! It doesn't count-"

"You said it yourself. I could choose any finger as long as its the middle or index finger." Jaein couldn't say anything as he used her own words against her. She lost...

She didn't want to admit it but this was reality. Maybe it was better this way. If even she paid of the debt, she would still be considered inferior as she could never be as powerful as the student council.

Jaein stood up and slowly walked to the end of the roof. If she falls to her death, she didn't have to face the consequences of the student council. She'd rather die than be control by them especially Woojin. As she turned towards Woojin , she grabbed his arm and dragging him down, making Woojin feel an emotion he rarely experienced before: surpise.

As they fell to their doom, she said her final sentence:

"Fuck you."

A/N: I wrote a bit more than my usual 500 words to thank you for the 100 (and 1) people, who followed me. Sorry for not updating but I get bored easily.
