Hyunggu ran away from the checker pieces as Changgu tried to calm him down remotely. "If you keep running we won't be able to finish them off!" "I am NOT getting sandwiched by two pieces!" "Hyunggu, work with me!" "I could die!" "So you're only worried about yourself?"

Changgu scoffed then slid pieces to corner Hyunggu. "What are you doing!?" "Just stay put so I can get us out of here." "You jerk!" Changgu turned his back then returned to the game. He didn't care whether Hyunggu lived or died anymore. He only cared about himself.

Changgu looked over and saw Hyunggu had been captured. "Finally." The game continued on and Changgu barely managed to win. He looked back over to where he had left Hyunggu then at the door that had appeared.

Changgu eyed the pieces once more before walking towards the door. He turned the knob then froze. "Will you continue alone?" "Yes." Changgu quickly whipped his head as a blood curling scream came from behind him. He covered his mouth as blood oozed from in between the pieces.

"H-He was alive..." He leaned against the wall as he started to regret his actions. "Hyunggu...I..." Tears streamed down his face as he forced himself through the door, leaving his dead friend Hyunggu behind. "I'm so sorry..."

"Yuto, keep up!" "I'm trying." They heard a buzzer go off and everything had halted. "Incorrect shape." Hui looked away as he heard a pained groan come from his side. He couldn't do a thing for Yuto. "Begin again! Yuto 2 strikes, Hui no strikes."

Hui quickly worked the blocks and wires while stealing glances at Yuto. He finished making the obscure shape then quietly cheered Yuto on. "You can do it..." Hui frowned as the buzzer rang. "3 strikes and you're out!" "What-" Hui gasped as a huge block fell down on Yuto.

He quickly hurried over in hopes of lifting it, but having no luck. "Yuto, you're okay right?" He started to tear up as he received silence. "Yuto..." He couldn't control his emotions and broke down in tears. He had lost his best friend, his amazing best friend.

Memories flashed by in his mind the more he cried. It was painful. He couldn't imagine life without him. Yuto had been there for him for almost everything. "I'm so sorry...I couldn't do anything for you. I'm a terrible friend." He stood up then looked at the door.

"Bring him back you piece of shits!" "What is already lost cannot be regained." Hui was furious. "I said give him back to me! Couldn't you have been lenient? He was already weak!" "No matter how weak or strong nor intelligent or average, everyone is equal within these walls."

"I'm not going through until you bring him back." "Will you hold firm to this belief?" "Yes." "Then it shall be." Hui frowned then felt the wind knocked out of him. He soon felt weight on his back then was turned over. "Wait, this isn't-" Screams were the only sound heard then.

"Group 1 has been eliminated." The other four groups looked up in confusion. Group? Were there others here besides themselves? The groups looked at each other with a bit of hope. They weren't the only ones suffering in this hellish place.

I looked at Hongseok who seemed to be doing just fine. "Is your arm okay?" "It's fine." I couldn't help but notice that the wound had grown bigger. I took a deep breath then pushed the ball with all my might. It rolled and bounced off the walls.

I sighed in relief as it just missed the black hole. "Okay, just one more for me and two for you and we can leave." "Right." I stepped aside then watched as a different colored ball materialized in front of Hongseok. I looked around at our surroundings in hopes of finding a clue.

I touched a rock then backed up as it growled at me. "What the fuck..." "Hyojong, come on." I hurried over as a familiar colored ball appeared in front of me. I gave it a hefty push then watched as it hardly touched the walls. It sank into the blue hole.

I gave his back a pat then stepped back. "Remember, avoid red and black." "I know." I couldn't help but feel uneasy about things. "Hongseok." He turned and faced me. "I feel like something bad is going to happen." "Is that so..." "Be careful..."

"You worry too much." "Don't say I told you so." I quietly watched from afar as he rolled his last ball. "Is it..." I held my breath as it hovered by the black hole. "Hongseok-" "Shh." It stopped moving. "Hongseok!" The ball came rolling back at top speed.

I couldn't do anything. I could only watch from above as Hongseok tried to outrun the ball. "You played dirty! You purposefully did this you wretched place!" His ball didn't fall into anything and ceased movement then suddenly fell into the black hole.

"Hongseok, get to higher ground!" I became frustrated as the place had shifted and higher ground ceased to exist. Instead, a hill had appeared and Hongseok was at the bottom of it. "Hongseok, run!" I couldn't watch.
