Alicia's POV-

The four of us are going back to the main room. I am at last. I am holding my wound. I look at the ground, blood. I look at Sae-byeok, the blood dripping from her.

As soon as we reach the door of the main room, the triangle staff stops me. I look at him, "Follow me." I frown. I just followed him to the toilet.

He opened the door of the toilet, "There is a first aid kit, treat your wound." I go inside and close the door. There is a first aid kit on the sink.

I quickly take off my shirt. Thick glass is pierced to my side. I opened the first aid kit, there were a few pills, a water bottle, twisters, bandages, and rubbing alcohol. I wash my hands then I pull the glass piece out. The blood is flowing out so bad. I quickly wash the blood then rip the shirt into pieces and wrap a thin layer of the cloth around the wound. Then I bind it with a bandage.

I release a deep sigh. I hear a knock. "Are you done?" "almost!"

I was about to pack everything, but... Sae-byeok!! I see a plastic cover, I take the bandage, cotton, and water bottle, I keep them in the cover and hide it under the sink.

I open the door and see the guard waiting outside. I nod my head in confirmation. He goes inside and brings the kit, then he leads me to the main room. He leaves.

I enter the room and see, all three are sitting on their beds. I go to Sae-byeok, I grab her hand. "Come with me." "where?" "to the toilet." Then we asked the guard if we could go to the toilet. The guards lead us.

I close the door behind me. "Why did you bring me here?" She says while holding her waist. "I know you are hurt, let me treat you." I say. "how do you know?" "I saw blood dripping. Now open your shirt, let me treat you."

She does as I say. Damn!! The wound looks so bad. I take out the stuff from underneath the sink. I wash my hands. I look at her. "ready?" I ask her. She nods her head. I place my hand on the glass. I pull the glass. She kinda yells. "sorry sorry sorry." "Just continue." I quickly wash the wound with water. I tell her to put pressure while I tear her shirt. I place the thin cloth on the wound and blind it with a bandage.

While I was treating the wound, "Do you trust Sang-woo?" she asked me. "Used to. When the game got terminated, I was with Ali and Sang-woo. He paid for the food. But gradually I lost the trust." I secure the bandage, I look at her. "Is it okay now?" she nods. I gave her the water bottle.

Then we go back to the main room, we see Sang-woo and Gi-hun standing close to each other. Glaring. We go back to our beds. The few staff enter the room. The 4 circle staff are holding a black box each.

"Players, we sincerely congratulate and commend you all for successfully making it through the first five games. The four of you are now the finalists and as such, we have prepared a special gift for each of you. Before we reveal the gift, please take a moment to change into the outfits we have brought." the square states.

Sae-byeok and I go to the toilet to change our clothes. I look at her wound, it looks secure and the blood is not flowing out. We both change into the outfits given by the staff.

We are back to the main room but it looks so different. It looked royal. The tables are shaped in a square. Each side each member.

We were served pretty good food. But I eat only a quarter of the meat. I see Gi-hun looking at me. Then he continues to eat. I hold my wound, I can't eat much because it hurts every time I swallow.

Soon the staff takes all the plates but leaves one knife in front of everyone.

3rd person POV-

Jun-ho points his gun at the frontman. And shots him when he steps forward. Jun-ho demands the Front Man to reveal his face. Then he removes his mask... In-ho.

"In-ho" Jun-ho whispers. "Let's go. Make this easy."

"Why did you do this?"

"To Alicia?" Jun-ho nods.

"Well...it was her choice. She is the one who decided to come. In the first game, even though she moved, she wouldn't be shot. But she won the first round. In the second game, Honeycomb, she chooses a triangle which is the easiest one. She wouldn't get shot if she broke it. In the third game, tug of war, even if she falls, she would land safely. Next, marbles. Her partner would get shot. The glass bridge, she would land safely. But now, she got hurt. We provided her with medication." In-ho replies.

In-ho extends his hand, but Jun-ho refuses. Then In-ho points his gun. "In-ho, why?"

In-ho shots him. He falls into the water.

Alicia's POV-

In the main room, we all sit on our respective beds. I go to Sae-byeok's bed. I tap at her shoulder. She points her knife. "It's me," I say. Then I sit beside her. "Is your wound okay?" I ask. She just nods with her eyes closed. Then I feel a hand on my shoulder. I point my knife at that person. It is Gi-hun. "I won't kill you. I have this with me because of Sang-woo there. Protection, you know." then Gi-hun keeps his knife inside. I take my knife back.

Then he sits beside me. "You both are not keeping well, right?" she asks. "We are fine," I replied. "Then you barely touched your food?" "It wasn't very well cooked." Sae-byeok replies. Gi-hun looks at me. "I didn't feel good."

"Don't lie." "and if I'm hurt. Are you gonna try to treat it? Think about yourself. Leave it, I'll be okay" Sae-byeok replies. I look at her concerned.

"We three should stick together. We can beat him. Whatever the game, we'll help each other get through this as a team." Gi-hun says. I just lean my head back. "Okay" I replied shortly.

Gi-hun and Sae-byeok have a conversation on how they are gonna use the money. I just zone out. Will I win this game? Will I find out who the staff is who helped me in the beginning?

Then I feel Sae-byeok's head on my shoulder. "Alicia, promise me one thing." I look at her. "Just in case either of us... loses, we are gonna look after ours and other loved ones," she says. "Stop saying that. We'll beat Sang-woo, then we'll get out of here. All three of us." Gi-hun says. Sae-byeok sobs, "I still want you to swear. Alicia, I need you to swear that you'll look after him."

We look at Sang-woo, he is fast asleep. Gi-hun stands up with his knife. I hold him back. "If you kill him right now, then in the next round, we three need to face each other," I say. "That isn't you. You're a good person at heart." Sae-byeok adds.

Sae-byeok gasps and falls off my shoulder. "Sae-byeok? Sae-byeok!?" I shake her. Gi-hun rushes towards her. I move the blazer to see the wound.

It is worse. It is bleeding bad. I start to panic, I put pressure on the wound. "Gi-hun, can you go to the ladies toilet and underneath the sink there is a first aid kit. Bring that! Hurry!!" I sob.

Gi-hun rushes to the door and bangs on the door and yells for help.

I see Sang-woo coming towards us. I stand up. "I know it's you all along. You want to win. You even tried to choke Gi-hun but failed. And Betrayed Ali, your shirt, stones. I know it all." as I spill everything, his eyes widen. I notice, he takes out his knife. I take out mine. "Good that you know," he says.

He was about to stab me on my neck but I ducked but instead, he stabbed me in my hand. As he stabbed me, I stabbed him in his stomach. He then takes the knife out of my hand and I was about to do it again, he pushes me away. I fell to the ground. I tried to stand up, but my wound near my stomach hurt and my legs gave up.

He goes near Sae-byeok and... slits her throat. NO!! DAMN MY LEGS!! He was about to come near me, but the lights were turned on.

The staff come in... with a coffin. Gi-hun rushes towards us. He kneels beside Sae-byeok. "Sae-byeok, no!" I was about to attack Sang-woo, but the guards held me!! "Ahh!! MY HAND!!"

Then Gi-hun comes near me and looks at the wound on my hand and my waist. He tried to attack Sang-woo but the guards held me down.

I see the guards keeping Sae-byeok's dead body inside the coffin. "NO!! SAE-BYEOK!! NO! COME BACK!" I try to get rid of the grip, but my hand hurts even more due to the wound and the grip. Tears falling... "NOOO!!!"

They take Sae-byeok away. Sae-byeok is... dead...
