Fate

"Does anyone want to play a game?" Jeonghan asked the group that had decided to gather in the hotel room for the leaders, and S.Coups visibly winced.

"Are we going to get noise complaints?" He countered, and the boys started looking at each other skeptically.

"We're not little kids, Coups hyung. I think we can handle a game." Wonwoo said, and others started nodding to back up his statement.

"What game did you want Jeonghan?" The second oldest smiled an evil smile, and S.Coups was starting to regret.

"Why don't we play mafia?" He suggested, and a chorus of approval erupted throughout the room. The leader waved them off as an "okay" since you could tell he also wanted to play. Especially since they could play without the staff or cameras watching them.

"Do you understand the situation, Doe?" Vernon asked me, and I squinted my eyes in thought.

"Well, everyone wants to do something, but S.Coups isn't quite sure. I think he gave in. But I have no idea what it is you guys are doing." Vernon laughed as the boys started forming a circle on the floor. Seungkwan patted the ground next to him for me to sit, and I lowered myself with Vernon on my left.

"We're playing mafia. Do you know how to play?" I nodded and Joshua was chosen as the moderator.

"Heads down." He said in Korean, and then English for me, and everyone did as he said. Some of them started hitting their hands against the ground so you couldn't tell where Joshua was in the room. I just hoped there was no one underneath our room.

"I'm picking the two mafia now." Joshua repeated everything he said in both languages, and I could feel him walk around behind me. But he never tapped my head, which was a huge relief.

"Now the police." I felt him walk around behind me again, but once again nothing happened.

"And lastly the doctor." This time he never passed behind me, so I knew it was most likely not the two boys next to me.

"Heads up." He announced, and everyone lifted their heads and instantly started accusing each other. It was somewhat easy to see what everyone was saying just with body language.

"Dino is really quiet." I piped up, and Vernon translated for the rest of the group. Everyone instantly turned their attention to the maknae and started interrogating him.

"Why don't you accuse Doe? She's the one who pointed me out." Dino argued, but no one let off of him.

"He's trying to miss lead us!" Hoshi screamed, and Joshua tried to get everyone's attention.

"All in favor of killing the maknae?" The boys put their hands in the middle, and I did the same.

"Three, two, one." Everyone put their thumbs down to kill him, and I did the same so I didn't look suspicious.

"Okay, Dino is dead and he was the doctor. You just killed off your only chance of living." Dino stood up and gave me a playful glare, which I returned with a smile. The youngest then jumped onto one of the beds so he could see everything, and Joshua called for the heads to be lowered. As soon as Joshua called for the mafia to pick someone to kill, Dino gasped and I chuckled. After the police had done his job, our heads were lifted.

"Hoshi died." The dance leader instantly gasped and joined his fellow member on the bed to watch.

"Doe's the mafia! I heard her laugh when Dino saw who the mafia was." Seungkwan yelled from next to me, and tons of accusations came at me.

"I'm not the mafia! I swear!" I pleaded, but they were not buying it.

"All in favor of killing Doe?" The majority of them voted for my death, but at least a few thought I was innocent. That few did not include my brother though.

"Well, you killed a citizen." Joshua announced, and I got up from the floor and joined the two on the bed. They all had to put their heads down again for nightfall, and I finally saw who the mafia was. Jeonghan and The8. Turns out Woozi was the police, which seemed fitting.

The game went on for another twenty minutes or so until the remaining three citizens killed off the last mafia.

"Citizens win!" Joshua announced, and everyone sat in shock.

"I thought you were innocent. I just wanted you dead to narrow it down." Dk said, and the others agreed.

"Thanks?" The8 said skeptically, and Jun put a hand on his shoulder that got shrugged off almost immediately.

"Do we have any snacks?" Mingyu asked, and some of the others nodded before going to their own rooms to get them. They came back with a pile of food, and I watched it slowly disappear. These boys and their food.
