walking down the hallway they try every door but in none of the rooms was the boy they searched for.

"park woo ram!" sooha yells out before they are in front of the broadcast room.

trying to open it she punches the doors a few times, "woo ram! park woo ram!"

somi tries as well before they shrug it off and continue. when they are further down the hall and around the corner sooha stops abruptly.

"aish.." she hissed out, "one job, he had one job!"

somi looks around in alarm, "huh? what are you doing?"

sooha sharply turns to her, pointing a finger on her, "why are you suddenly so close to me huh?"

somi stutters for an answer before sooha just gives up, knowing she wouldnt answer.

continuing their way they check the rest of the rooms before they walk down the stairs, seeing junhee with yoonseo as the two look up.

"is he on the second floor?" junhee asks and sooha shakes her head.

"ani.. he isnt there."

"he's not on the first floor or in the basement." junhee tells them, "should we check the other building?"

somi and sooha nod their head before the broadcast turns on suddenly.

"i'm park woo ran."

"whats that?" junhee asks.

"im the mafia. i killed lee juyoung."

"whats he saying?" somi asks, confused.

sooha looks between the three, "he's confessing in the broadcasting room.."

"i wasnt.. planning to do that at first, but i got upset because she humiliated me."

"because she always belittled me, so i wanted to kill her."

they arrive in front of the door, and junhee started to bang on the door, "woo ram! yah! park woo ram!"

"yah! open the door!" she yells, kicking the door in hopes of helping.

when they hear woo ram calling out to them, yoonseo didnt hesitate to search something that could help them in the storage room.

when she comes back junhee quickly took the ax from her hands.

"stand back." he says to them which somi and miran did while he hits the door knock three times with his strength.

walking inside sooha stays a bit in the background as jungwon along with yoonseo run past her towards woo ran.

"sibal, kim junhee!" kyung jun hissed.

"you crazy jerks!" junhee yells out, his grip on the ax getting tighter as he pretends to go and hit them with it.

"you're crazy.."

"you're lunatics!" junhee yells at them again.

"who's really crazy here?" kyung jun asks, "he's the mafia. he killed lee juyoung!"

"cut it out.." junhee says, his breathing heavier than before.

"come to your senses, idiot." kyung jun states, looking at junhee before their phones chim, two votes being casted.

'park jisoo has voted for park woo ram.'

'cha yujun has voted for park woo ram.'

suddenly they hear woo ram laugh in the hallway before he runs inside and takes the ax that junhee held. within seconds he swings it at kyung jun and while he evaded the attack it didnt stop woo ram from swinging it again.

miran yells for kyung jun to get out to which he does.

"i'll kill you before i die!" woo ram yells out, following him.

kyung jun crawls back against the wall as sooha takes a step forwards wanting to stop him as woo ram lifts his arm up, ready to strike kyung jun.

fortunately the siren saved kyung jun's life as woo ram's arms freeze and the speakers announce the voting results.

'voting is over.'

'park woo ram with the most votes will be executed.'

said boy stumbles a few paces before he lifts the ax to his face, slamming it in his head as the rest let out startled yelps.

sooha stood in front of him, getting blood on her white shirt and face as she stares at him horrified. a few fall to the ground while woo ram already lays there, yoonseo staring wide eyed next to her as she also had blood on her face.

'park woo ram was the mafia.'

kyung jun chuckled, standing up as he says, "see, i told you so."

with that everything was blurred, junhee takes yoonseo's arms and put them around her as jungwon helped him.

sooha stood frozen in her place before somi took her arm, dragging her away quickly before they would fall asleep, leaving junhee alone with yoonseo and jungwon.

snapping out of it she calls out to him but it was too late, everyone was already hidden or gone from the hallway as somi drags her further.

before they know it they safely arrive at the arcade room, quickly getting pulled inside by jinha and seungbin before the two boys securely close the door.

walking to a corner somi and sooha sit down and breath heavily, thankful they made it before the familiar tune played again and they all fell asleep.

morning came again and sooha rubs her eyes as she holds her head, looking around she sees somi sitting next to her.

"thank you.." sooha whispers to somi quietly.

she nods her head and gives her a small almost invisible smile.

'before the end of the last voting, the police officer used their power.'

'park jisoo was executed by the mafia overnight.'

'park jisoo was a civilian.'

'participants, please find the mafia and start voting.'

standing up sooha went to the door, unlocking it before she leaves and went to find junhee. somi was quick to follow her, not wanting to be alone with the two bullies.

walking down the hall they hear yujun's cries for jisoo, the door completely broken with an ax.

sooha quickly went to junhee, hugging him tightly as if she hadnt seen him for days. he returned the hug just as tight as they hear yujun's cries.

later that day kyung jun called for the rest of their class to meet up, wanting to talk about something.

"why did you want to see us?" asks yoonseo as she walks towards kyung jun, the rest having gathered to his wish.

said boy walks forwards towards yoonseo and sooha, "park woo ram was the mafia. see? what did i tell you?"

suddenly seungbin claps his hands, a pair of sunglasses on his nose as he looks prouder than kyung jun himself, "kyung jun, you're so good at this. whats the police officer doing? watch and learn."

sooha glances around, her shoulder a bit more stiffer than usual to which junhee noticed, keeping an eye on her.

"you saw, right? do what i tell you to do if you want to catch the mafia quickly." kyung jun says.

jinha walks forward, "what do you want us to do?"

"lets hear who you think the mafia is one by one and i'll tell you."

"why would you decide that?" junhee asks as he lets a quiet scoff out, "we should decide together."

"yea. who do you think you are?" somi asks siding with junhee.

although somi took a liking to junhee at the beginning of the year she realized that her old friend sooha took his heart so she backed off surprisingly.

"didnt you see woo ram flipping out, trying to kill me last night?" kyung jun says, "is there anyone else who's more clearly a civilian?"

it was quiet for a moment before he continued, "in my opinion, the mafia is among the ones who voted for me yesterday."

"no.." na hee spoke up, "we really arent the mafia.."

"you teamed up with park woo ram and tried to kill me." kyung jun explains, "whats more clear evidence than that?"

"we really didnt know either.." sooha says, trying to defend them, "dont just judge based on what happened yesterday."

"sibal, how do you want me to judge you then?" kyung jun asks.

"thats enough.." yoonseo says.

it was quiet for a few seconds before somi speaks up, "how about jisoo then? we're close with her. why would we kill her? theres no reason to kill her."

kyung jun scoffs, "we're about to die. why would you care if you're close?"

jinha and seungbin share a looks, not really knowing if what their friend was serious or he just said that.

"wasnt jisoo the doctor?"

"look carefully, yujun must be the doctor." eun chan says, "he pretended like he wasnt."

"the police officer used their power, but why didnt the doctor?" da beom asks carefully.

"your right." mina says, "jisoo would've lived if they used their power."

"only jisoo and yujun were on the third floor, right?" somi asks, "why did only jisoo die then?"

"could yujun be the mafia?" mina asks slowly.

"oh shit.. he killed his girlfriend?" jinha asks, "if thats true, then thats fucking creepy."

"jisoo did nag on him often." yeonwoo speaks up, "he always got yelled at by her."

"shibal.. this is fucking frustrating." kyung jun lets out, "let me just pick one for you.

he lifts his hand, pointing to sooha who was next to junhee as he says, "lee sooha, this bitch is the mafia."

"think about it, she pushed dong hyun and collected the phones yesterday. aside from that she sided with woo ram right after he asked her." he continues.

miran quickly went to her defense, "she thought he was a civilian and tried to help him!"

"we just got betrayed by someone we trusted!" somi lets out as well, "we were all played. we're victims too."

"i agree." na hee speaks up, "i dont think we should vote for sooha or junhee because of that."

"should i pick one of you then?" kyung jun asks, "go ahead and vote now."

"yah! havent you heard of the presumption of innocence?" yoonseo asks, "you dont even have a solid evidence so stop insisting."

"what?"

"you cant just pick someone you dislike!" yoonseo continues states, her arms crossed as she takes a step towards kyung jun, "how is this not a witch hunt?"

"my hunch is the evidence, you fucker." kyung jun grits his teeth, walking closer to her, "is there evidence this bitch isnt the mafia? no."

yoonseo is silent for a few seconds and sooha let guilt consume her again as she was reminded how she gets wrongly accused of pushing dong hyun. to be fair, she just pulled her arm back, somi did the pushing.

"evidence?" yoonseo asks, "there is. thers a place you can see the cctv footage in the basement. i'm sure everything was recorded there."

sooha's eyes widen at the words she heard from yoonseo, her brain working the drills as she noticed if there was no footage to be found then yoonseo would automatically get accused of being the mafia.

they were all in the basement where yoonseo had found a cctv room. jungwon sat  at the pc that was in the room, trying to find the files as sooha stood between yoonseo and junhee.

"we'll catch all the mafia members at once."

"hey mensa. hurry up, you're so fucking slow." seungbin says.

"its mensan.." jungwon mutter to which sooha had to hold in her chuckle.

 suddenly jungwon furrowed her brows, "whats this? hold on a second." typing away some more she continues, "there are no files. i think someone deleted them."

"maybe they were saved somewhere else, look again please." yoonseo requests her friend.

"its not that. there really is nothing." jungwon answers her, "its not like an automatic reset was set up. someone deleted them on purpose."

"yah, yoonseo. whats the deal?" jinha asks the girl, "you're so aggravating."

"woah.. the mafia bastards. their teamwork is impressive." kyung jun says, "you deleted them, didnt you?"

"are you crazy?" sooha asks, "she doesent even know how the settings on her phone work how could she delete some files?"

"maybe its you then?" kyung jun directs, "you know how computers work after all. dont deny it."

"besides, yoonseo always defended woo ram with you, maybe you work together? you obviously came late because you deleted the files. yoonseo could've assisted you in that matter." kyung jun continues.

"i said its not like that!" yoonseo lets out, defending herself.

"yah.. yoonseo." yujun speaks up, "how did you know you can watch cctv footage here?"

"what?" the girl asks confused.

"you looked for this place because you tried to delete the footage." yujun continues, "am i wrong?"

"wait.." yoonseo lets out, "i found this place by chance."

"why would she have suggested coming here if she did?" junhee asks them.

sooha noticed kyung jun getting his phone out and shakes her head quickly going to say something but was interrupted by jungwon, "thats right. and she doesent know how to do this kind of stuff."

"its game over." kyung jun says before the familiar alarm rang.

'ko kyung jun has voted for lee yoonseo.'

"i already voted." he continues before leaving the room followed by his minions.

'kim junha and shin seungbin voted for lee yoonseo.'

yujun gets his phone out, staring at yoonseo before he voted for her.

'cha yujun has voted for lee yoonseo.'

a few stood up as well but yoonseo runs towards them, holding their wrists, "guys, hold on. i'm really a civilian. i'll prove that i am, okay?"

"just give me a chance until tonight, please." she pleads them.

sooha and junhee walk forward before the girl says, "yoonseo really isnt the mafia."

"i'll restore the cctv files. give me some time." jungwon informs them.

na hee stood up as well, "your right, we can vote at night."

"yeah. we can find out who the mafia is if we restore the files." da beom agrees.

they agree to their conditions before leaving the room, somi takes sooha's wrist but the latter shakes her head slightly, sighing she leaves the room without her.
