Jimin was now resting on his bed after taking a bath and washing away all the tension from his body by a warm bath.He wore a green turtle and a loose fit jeans. He wasn't sure of what do to since he had nothing to entertain himself with. 

He eyed the brooch kept on the drawer. Taking in its detail. It was craved out of blue stone. It wasn't sapphire. No, it was of a lighter shade. But it was carved beautifully in the shade of a water dropped and encrusted with silver details.

He was relieved of the task to keep himself occupied when he heard a knock on the door of his compartment. 

"Come in" Jimin called. 

The door opened and before him stood, Min Yoongi. He too seemed to have taken a bath because he looked fresh. He was wearing a plain black tee shirt with black pants, which made his pale skin stand out.

Jimin tilted his head, "Do you need something?"

Yoongi shook his head, stuffing his hand in his pocket, "I don't need anything. It's just that since we're in the same team now, it's better if we get to know each properly"

Jimin opened his mouth and then closed it, pressing his lips together, "Well, what do you want to know?"

Yoongi hummed, tapping his pointer finger on his thighs as he thought of a question, "Tell me about your skill sets"

"Huh?" Jimin knew what Yoongi was talking about but he wasn't sure if the skills he had would be of any use, "Um... I learned Taekwondo and Kendo"

Jimin noticed the way Yoongi's eye gleamed hearing that, "Those are very useful skills. Strength and agility. No matter the challenges, strength and agility is required"

Jimin mumbled a 'thank you', smiling a little," And what about you?"

Yoongi was about to answer but Hoseok interrupted them, "Yoongi hyung, Jimin, I think you would like to see this"

Jimin glance at Yoongi and then back Hoseok. All three of them, walked outside, sitting down on the sofas and looking outside the window. Currently it was dark and Jimin guessed that they were going through a tunnel. 

His heartbeat paced a little with the anticipation of what he will get to see next. Jimin had seen the Central before on TV but seeing it in real life was different.

The city was a vast, intricate, labyrinth of building- tall buildings in an exact grid pattern. Ubiquitous skyscrapers rising tall one after another. The cityscape was unapologetically urban. There were no trees or city planted blooms, just monoliths of concrete soaring out of the sidewalk in an exact grid pattern. At night it was beautiful in it's own way, so many lights. By day you relied on the sky to let you know that it wasn't a monochromatic world; just one in which the people were too busy for art.

The cityscape was a jumble of shapes, like a child had cast blocks down randomly and then swept them so close together they touched. There were rectangles, domes and mini-castles. There were spires, weather vanes and satellite dishes.
Shiny cars rolled down the wide paved roads. Monorails snaking around the city, mid air.

But everything about it was grandiose. 

The Central province was meant to the most richly decorated one. A city painted with gold. The train slowed down. People started pointing towards the train when they realized that it carried, the teams for The Games. The train finally stops at the station blocking the cityscape from view.

The men from earlier came in the compartment, to escort the three players outside. 

They were now pawns for a game created just for the sake of other's entertainment. A game which was planned to me even more dangerous this, for it was created by an architect with no official background. 

No one knew what all The Games held for them.

No one knew...that this Games will be nothing they had expected.
