Simon's Game |nct 127|

Unknown Number

*Sunday afternoon*

Mark nervously headed back to the place he last met the other guys. His heart was beating fast and he felt his body trembling internally. He found one of the skyscrapers he saw the last time, but other than that, he couldn't recall the right way to go to the building they last were.

He stopped in front of the skyscraper and his eyes traveled on the cloudy afternoon sky. It wasn't completely dark yet, however the sun slowly disappeared and hid behind the gray mass of clouds. He turned his whole attention again on the path in front of him. How could he go to the scheduled place if he didn't remember the correct way?

He sighed. But he couldn't tell if it was out of frustration or relief.

"Well...I guess unfortunately I have to go back...how can I go to the building if I don't know the right way?"

He thought and turned around.

"Hey man."

Mark's eyes widened and he tried to keep a neutral expression.

"H...hey!"

Before he even had the chance to leave, one of the men he saw on Friday was standing in front of him.

"You're here for the meet up too right?"

"Y..yeah."

Mark answered hesitantly.

The guy came closer to Mark and stretched his hand.

"Haechan."

The guy exclaimed, introducing himself.

"Mark."

Mark said, shaking Haechan's hand.

"Ok Mark, now, let's find the way to the building." He said while walking but turned around to see Mark. "I'm not sure but I think you were about to leave."

The boy announced playfully, while smiling.

"What?...N..no I wasn't going to leave!"

Mark tried to defend himself.

"Tsk...ok calm down I didn't mean to offend you." Haechan said. "Come on Mark let's find the others, I really need my new phone."

Mark followed Haechan as they both tried to find the strange building they were on Friday.

"So you only came here because you want a new phone?"

Mark asked.

"That's the main reason, but if you think thoroughly about it." Haechan paused. "It's better to stick together."

"Aren't you scared?"

"I am." Haechan answered. "But I have to stay positive as well, I can't let this game change my life negatively." He laughed. "How much worse can it get?"

Mark raised up both of his eyebrows when he heard the boy's last sentence. So his life wasn't that beautiful as well...maybe that's the thing all of them had in common?

Mark opened his mouth to speak, but his words got stuck in his throat.

"Boo."

"AAARGHHH!"

Mark screamed.

The man behind them smiled.

"What's wrong with you?!"

Haechan asked angrily while touching his chest.

"I told you to not scare them Yuta."

Another man shouted from behind.
