Simon's Game |nct 127|

Would you?

A/N: *A recap of what happened in the last chapter for those who skipped it*

We saw Yuta's flashback and he was sitting on a chair, his mum crying in the same room in front of him (for something he did, we don't know yet) and then she left when she learnt that the thing they were talking about was true (Yuta confirmed it). His dad then slapped him and told Yuta that his name didn't deserve to be mentioned anymore (also Yuta was a teen in the flashback). The thing that Yuta did was something he was willing to take responsibility for, even if he wasn't the one who did it, for his parents.

As Jaehyun went out for work he saw at the news that Taeyong died and wrote in the group chat about it. Only Doyoung saw the message and went to search more details, finding about Taeyong's death, learning that it was a suspected suicide (no, Taeyong did not commit suicide). Then as he was looking at an article on his computer Yuta came in and they started talking.

Yuta learns about Taeyong's death and says that he thinks it's not a suicide and that something else could have killed him. When Doyoung asks him what he means with that, Yuta thinks "the truth" to himself but gives another answer to Doyoung. Doyoung starts to get angry, as he thinks that Yuta knows who Simon is and doesn't share it with the others, and if the man says the truth they could save everyone. Yuta asks Doyoung if they really could save them even if he knows who Simon is. Yuta then asks him if they really want to stop this game or if everyone wants in fact to keep playing it. Which leaves Doyoung dumbfounded and finally Yuta asks Doyoung:

"What is your biggest wish Doyoung? Why do you still play this game?" (Now we see the continuation of this discussion)
