3rd Person POV-

Jun-ho kept following the van the entire time. The surroundings were mysterious. He stops at the entrance. He texts his chief that he couldn't come to the station.

He spotted a van that was heading towards the ship. Before moving, he makes sure that his gun is loaded with bullets. He quickly goes under the van and grabs those tubes underneath it.

Right now he is hiding behind the van. As soon as he saw the doors sliding, he quietly made a move to enter. He saw Alicia unconscious. In a swift move, he sat at the back, pretending to be unconscious. As he felt something in his ear, he attacked the circle staff. He chokes the staff.

He changes his clothes to a red suit and the staff member to his clothes. Jun-ho drags the unconscious staff member out of the van. He also slips his police ID into the staff's clothes and pushes him into the ocean.

"Hey, you!" He hears someone. It was the triangle and square staff. "I got seasick." "Did you forget the rules? You are not allowed to speak. Go to the cabin." the square says and leaves.

Alicia's POV-

I woke up with bright light around me. I sit up, I turn around and see '067' sitting on her bed. "Hey, 67!" I called out. She looks at me with the same look. "You came back?" She asks me. "I didn't come on my own. The money brought me here." she scoffs. "we should team up." I add. "why?" She says it in a raspy voice.

I get out of my bed and climb onto her bed. "because I don't want to. But I have to." I say, smirking. She gives a small smirk and turns her face away.

Then '101' dude asks us, "oi bitches, I think you should join us." "Are you serious?" '067' replies, with her eyebrow raised. "It doesn't matter how tough you are, you are not going to win on your own." he chuckles. "worry about your dick, okay?" I spit. I can feel '067' smirking. Before '101' attacks us, '212' interrupts.

"Am I interrupting you? Sorry."

"What is it?"

"Oh boy, you are handsome." She winks at him. Ew... "come on, let me join."

"join what?" He scoffs.

"Your team," she says simply.

"what are you good at?" he asks smirking

"I'm good at everything, except the things I can't do. And I am better than these two girls." All men behind '101' exclaim. Then they just talk about some disgusting stuff and those men just laugh.

"Attention. Your mealtime begins now. All players form a line in the centre." '212' looks at us, scoffs, and leaves.

I take the lunch box from the staff. I go near my bed and open my box. It has an egg, kimchi, vegetables, and rice. I feel someone sitting in front of me. I looked up, it was '067'.

We start eating. "Team." That's what she said. "Okay"

"HEY!! OPEN THE DOOR, JERK! I HAVE TO PEE, RIGHT NOW. I NEED TO GO" '212' starts banging on the door. And continues to scream. "OH, WHAT THE.." She sits down. Just then the door opens.

I drag '067' with me to the front door. "I gotta go as well," I say, looking at the triangle staff. '212' scolds us and flicks our heads. '067' just drags me to the toilet.

'067' opens the door of a toilet cubicle. I stand behind '067'. It's '212'. smoking. She looked terrified as soon as she saw the knife in '067' hand.

I tell her the plan that '067' will climb into those tubes above and she needs to put up an act. "Why should I do that?" she whispers and yells "to find out what's happening next." '067' says.

In the next cubicle, '067' climbs on my shoulder. "Hurry up," I say, in pain. She finally gets into the tunnel. I sit on the toilet, massaging my shoulders. "start your act or something." I tell.

"OH MY GOD!! I BET THE HELL I'VE BEEN HERE TODAY. IT HURTS A LOT!! IT'S LIKE TRYING TO PUSH A KID OUT!!" she groans.

What? Why is she obsessed with kids? At first, she was like, I need to name my kid. And now push out a kid. Damn woman. She screams as if she is going through labour. "COME OUT! COME OUT!!" wait- is she indicating '067' to come back quickly or something?

I go out of the stall. "Are you asking her to come out?" I ask her. Nods her head, still acting. "HURRY UP!! COME OUT!!" "It is time to go out." I hear the staff saying it from outside. '212' rushes to the sink. "BUT I'LL USE THE SINK!! DON'T COME IN."

After a few moments, I see '067' legs sticking out. I rushed back, helping her out. As soon as she came out, she whispered to me, "melting sugar." She and '212' go back to the other cubicle and I stay in the same one. As the screaming continued, I heard the front door open and footsteps getting nearer to the cubicle. "WHAT THE HELL, BASTARD," I think the staff opened her cubicle. I get out of mine. I see the staff standing in front. I go to the sink and wash my hands. I see both of them coming out. We exited the toilet together.

'212' wrapped her arms around me and '067'. '212' whispered, "what did you see?" "I'll tell you tomorrow." "Tell me now, it's okay..." I didn't say anything the entire time. When I reach my bed, I slip into the blankets and fall asleep.

'attention everyone, it is breakfast time. Please form a line in the centre of the room.'

"Hey, what did you see? I made up a drama to save your lives. Now it is morning." "212' leans. "masked men with pots, they were melting a liquid." '067' answers. "what was it?" "I couldn't say." "couldn't say!?" '067' looks at me. "sugar." I say. '212' looks at me. "sugar?" I nod my head. '212' sighs and leaves.

I stand behind '067'. When it is my turn, the circle staff gives me a brown bottle and a bun which has a small piece of paper stuck behind it. I stared at the staff. But the bottles are white. I take it and head towards my bed. I see '067' sitting on my bed. I sit in front of her so that my knees are blocking the view. I open the milk bottle and start drinking it. It's chocolate milk.

Now I take out the paper which is stuck to the plastic cover. When I open it, I see a triangle, circle, star, and umbrella. Beside the triangle, there was a tick symbol, but beside the circle, start, and umbrella there was a cross symbol. What does this mean? Who was the staff? And why was he helping me? Luckily, no one saw me.

Classical music starts playing. 'Attention. The second game will begin shortly.' I look at '067' with a knowing expression.

Everyone is climbing those colourful stairs. With '067' in front of me and Sang-woo behind me. "you saw something right?" He whispers to me. I looked at him. "I overheard your discussion with the other two women. Tell me what did you see?" he added. "Why would I?" I ask him back. "I know that these are childhood games, if you tell me which game we are playing right now, I will guess the other." he pleads. "Why guess? You should be sure about it." I say. "please. I beg you." Something is suspicious. "No, I found out not you." That's the only thing I say and leave him.

We are led by triangle staff to a massive playground. I looked around. The walls look like a children's room. There is stuff which we can see in the playground.

'Welcome to the second game. Before the game begins, choose one of the four available shapes you see on the wall. Once you have chosen the shape, please stand in front of it.'

I looked at the shapes. Circle, Triangle, star, umbrella. Wait- the same shapes which were drawn on the paper. I stood there thinking for a while.

Melting sugar, the same shapes on the paper. Tick beside Triangle, cross beside Circle, star, umbrella. I think I know what it is.

I can feel Sang-woo looking at me the whole time. '067' was about to go to join the circle line, but I dragged her to the triangle line. "why?" She whispers and yells at me. "you will find out." I whispered back. I see that Sang-woo is in the same line as I am. He is definitely following me.  

"The time to select your shape has ended. I will now explain the rules."'Each of the shapes opened, revealing, circle staff members and a table.

'all players, please take one case each from the table at the front of your line.' Everyone takes a box from the staff. It is my turn to take it. As I take it, the staff shows his thumbs-up, indicating 'good luck'.

'The second game is sugar honeycombs. You must carve out the shape you have chosen.'

I go at the very back. I lean my back against the wall. I opened the case. I see a triangle on the melted sugar and a needle. On the case's cap, there was a sticky note, 'Do it carefully and slowly. Good luck!' I look back at the staff who gave me this. He is still giving the cases to others.

The clock starts ticking. My entire focus was on the honeycomb. I have successfully carved one side without breaking. As I was doing it for the second side, I heard a gunshot, from the slide. Another shot, another one. Six more at once. One of the staff members was literally in front of me. I broke the second side successfully. After a couple of minutes, the triangle is perfect. I showed it to the staff. 'player 315, pass.' I looked at the time, only 48 seconds left. I exited the room.

We are led by a staff member somewhere. As I was climbing down the stairs, I heard continuous gunshots.

Who was the staff member? Why did he help me? Does he want me to win or something? I wanna meet him.
