You awoke yet again, in the same room, with the same outfit and it almost seemed as everyone came back...

What was the point in voting if everyone was just going to come back...

You were lost in thought when you feel someone take your shoulder, 

You look back 

It was Gi-Hun 

You sigh and he waves at you and smiles nervously 

"You came back? Not two days ago you were yelling at me because I wanted to stay, asshole" You mumble the last part and he nods 

"My mom...shes sick and i need that money" He says and sits beside you on the bed 

You look up at him, feeling a little guilty

"I'm sorry" You whisper and he just smiles 

"Oh its fine, does this mean you forgive me? I said sorry, you said sorry" He says, that dumb smile on his face 

"Oh fine" You mumble and look away 

He watches you, and tilts his head,

"Why did you come back, or why did you want to stay?" He asks and you look back at him 

"Well..." You sigh and pick at your fingers 

"I don't have a lot outside this hell hole, it's like living right next to Satan or down the block from me so i'd rather have fun before i die you know?" You say and smile but he was looking at you deep in thought 

"Do you have any family?" He asks and you shrug 

"My Mother, dead. My Father is a deadbeat and i have a baby brother but i haven't met him yet, i don't have enough money to go see him" You mutter and look up at him 

He had this look on his face of sadness, of pity

"Oh Gi-Hun don't look so down it's not that bad!" You say and put your hands on his cheeks,

"You should win and go take care of your mom, don't let her live knowing her handsome son has passed" You say and squeeze his cheeks and laugh

"Gi-Hun" You hear a voice say and you both look over seeing Sang-Woo

You quickly pull your hands from his face and shove them in your pockets turning a bit red 

"Oh, sang-Woo" Gi-Hun mutters and looks over at the man, 

"So you're here, I didn't think I'd see you" Sang-Woo says

Gi-Hun clicks his tongue and sighs, 

"Neither did I, and you? Your mom, did you see her?" Gi-Hun asks and Sang-Woo just looks to the ground 

"Hey! good sirs and ma'am" You hear another voice and you look over to see the same man who had saved you during Red light, Green light 

"Oh Hey!" Gi-Hun exclaimed, 

"It's miss Y/n's garden angel" Gi-Hun smiles and looks at you 

"Oh shut it" You mumble and look off 

"I'm happy to see the three of you, I hope we make it, thanks for the bus fare, sir it meant so much to me" Says 199, the number of the man that saved you  

"What, you gave him bus fare?" Gi-Hun asks

You look off and pick at your fingers and bite your nails, 

"Because he said that he'd walk Yeouido to Ansan" Sang-Woo explains

"That's so heartwarming, we're like a bunch of soldiers at a training camp huh?" Gi-Hun says and laughs 

The three were joking around, it was boring and this place was cold not to mention it 

You sit on the bed and lean against the wall, you continue to pick at your nails, 

You feel someone grab your hand away from you mouth and you smack their hand,

"Y/n, you shouldn't do that, it'll make your nails bleed" Gi-Hun complains quickly pulling his hand back and you roll your eyes 

"So what? I don't care, go on" You grumble and pull your knees into your chest,

He sits down on the bed and looks at you, 

You lay your head on your knees watching him, 

"You look tired" Gi-Hun comments and you scoff

"Is it that obvious" You mock and he smiles

"When's the last time you slept, you seem to live in the wilderness" He comments, joking around 

You hum, 

Actually, the last time you slept was two days ago, so you were quite exhausted 

"A while, so what, aren't you going to go banter with your 'army buddies' hm?" You remark and he just chuckles 

"Oh I came to ask you if you wanted to join my team? Its me, Sang-Woo, mister 199 and mister 1, you can be the nurse!" He exclaims and you giggle, 

You shrug, "I don't want to be a nurse, so....I say no" You say joking and he looks at you like you denied a million won 

"No?! You don't have to be the nurse! I was kidding, you should join our team it would be safer" He shouts and you giggle only louder,

"Okay okay, Gi-Hun Jesus your quite persistent" You say and watch him with a big smile 

He rubs the back of his head and smiles, "Oh good, I don't want you to die or team up with someone one dangerous" He says and you tilt your head 

"Why does that matter to you hm? Why do you care if I join someone else huh?" You say messing with him and he freezes 

"Y/n! Shut up, I just care for everyone jeez" He mumbles and look away blushing 

Suddenly the woman over the PA begins to speak, 

"Attention, your mealtime begins now, all players please form a line in the center of the room" The woman speaks 

Gi-Hun starts to leave and you stay put, you didn't like to eat, eating was hard for you...

He looks back and he looks at you like your crazy, 

"Y/n come on!" He shouts and you shake your head

He just stares at you blinking until he walks back to you, 

"Gi-Hun go on and get dinner" You mumble and he frown 

"You need to eat, come on, you need the energy from the food" He states and you shake your head 

"I'm not hungry" You mutter 

"That's a lie, look at you, your skin and bones, come on Y/n, lets go we're getting dinner" He says and holds his hand out 

You swallow hard and shake your head you feel tears forming in your eyes and you quickly rub your eyes and Gi-Hun stops and looks at you 

He sits down beside you, your legs touching 

"Y/n, can I know why you don't want to eat?" He asks, not too loud 

You look at him and then back at your lap, 

"I don't like eating" You whisper and he tilts his head 

"You don't like eating? Well that's something....why?" He asks and you sigh 

"It's...it's hard, I don't like to eat it makes me feel weird" You mumble quietly 

He nods slowly and then holds out his hand, 

"Come on, lets go get dinner, I can help you eat if you'd like, you don't have to eat it all you know the you could give the rest to me and I could get more energy and protect you" He says getting louder, 

He wanted to make you feel better...

You smile and nod grabbing his hand, interlocking his fingers with yours 

It was nice to hold his hand and notice how rough it was, from hard work or maybe from no lotion, 

At least you didn't have to focus on surviving, for now

You follow behind him into the long lines of people getting their dinner, 

He didn't talk or make comments about holding your hand 

He just stayed quiet and you appreciated that...

You watched him grab his food, and then you looked at the masked man and grabbed yours...

You hurry to catch up to Gi-Hun, staying close behind him

You started to feel bad, not like guilt, but like just down 

As much as Gi-Hun was trying to help you were exhausted and was starting to take a harsh toll on you 

You sit down on the bed and drop your water, Gi-Hun quickly looks up, his mouth full of food and he grabs the water

"Y/n? Are you okay? He asks slowly while swallowing his bite of food and setting it down 

You just lean on the wall, and try to catch your breath 

Gi-Hun looks at you and he looks worried, 

He grabs your food tin from your hands and opens it, he stirs around the rice and egg and the gets a bite onto the spoon and hands it to you 

"Here, just one bite for now please Y/n" He hums holding up the fork 

You nod, and grab the fork taking the bite, 

You chew slowly and let the food settle into your stomach, 

"See! It's not too bad you're doing just fine" He mumbles and takes big bites of his food

You look up at him and rub one of your eyes, you sit up and fork a small bite then slowly eat it 

It felt nice to eat something, but then at the same time were you going to regret it?

"Oh I wish the rice was piping hot, at least they could've warmed it up a little" He says and chuckles 

You look at him and smile, 

"All we need is a stove, do you remember doing that? The little briquette stove we had in our elementary school classroom?" He says, he sounded so excited as it made you smile 

"I wasn't in school to much as a kid, I never had a stove in my class, not even a lunch" You say and he frowns 

"That's so sad, I love to eat I couldn't imagine not eating lunch!" He says and you laugh, and then he smiles

You take another bite of your dinner and he smiles and keeps eating his food, 

"You eat like a monster, you act like you're starving but I bet you had a snack before this hm?" You joke and he laughs 

"Hey! That's no fair, I'm hungry that's all" He mumbles chugging his water

After eating dinner, it was time to rest

You all had put your half full dinner tin to the side and held your water close, you watched Gi-Hun get all cozy in his bed next to yours 

You sat up, staring around in the dark, you didn't like the dark, there was nothing to distract you from your thoughts 

You started to breathe heavier as you looked around the pitch black darkness, 

Gi-Hun rolled in his bed about to fall asleep until he saw you still sitting up?

"Y/n? Are you awake still?" He mumbles groggily 

You look over, "I-....I" 

You try speaking but it was no use, you didn't want to seem weak in the dark 

This could be the most vulnerable position ever...

"Y/n....are you- what's wrong, is it hard for you to sleep as well?" He asks quietly sitting up

You just look at him and then hide your face, 

Gi-Hun didn't know what to do or what was wrong, 

He gets up and moves over to your bed, sitting on it 

"Y/n, I don't know a lot about you, but I do know that I want to help" He whispers and you look up sniffling 

"You need to rest" He mutters and you nod 

"I know..." You look at him,

He looks at you and motions for you to lye down 

You shake your head and breathe heavier, 

"Hey hey...Y/n, come on, rest...." He whispers and puts his hand on your knee 

You look up at him, and then the hand on his knee

"C-can you stay right there....please" You ask and look down 

He nods, "Of course...yes...i'll stay right here" He whispers and smiles 

You could hear a woman shouting about needing to use the bathroom, and Gi-Hun pulls on your arm 

"Don't worry about the crazy lady, lye down now" He says and you look at him, 

You motion for him to scoot down, he sits next to the bar and lays his head against the bar at the end of the bed

"Get your blanket dummy, you don't want to be cold" You say and he nods muttering to himself 

He grabs the blanket and wraps it around his shoulders and sits back in his spot

You throw your pillow onto his bed making him confused,

"Huh? Y/n-" He tries to say but you lay down and lay your head on his leg, using his leg as your pillow 

He freezes but then grabs your blanket draping it on you...

"Goodnight Gi-Hun, thank you" You whisper and yawn 

He nods and puts his hand on your back, 

"Goodnight Y/n, please rest now" He mutters, 

You feel yourself falling asleep, how could this be hell if this man was an angel?
