I was looking at the body. I couldn't move it. Instead I had to get the card out. I started checking the pockets over. It had to be here somewhere. That's when I checked the front pocket. A black card envelope. "Police. Put your hands above your head!" An officer said to me. How did they get here so fast. That's when he checked my pockets over. "Son Haneul. You are under arrest on suspicion of murder. You have the right to an attorney. And you have the right to- -" the officer started and that's when he stopped. When I I turned around there was a guy I'd never seen before and Gihun.

"Who are you?" I asked him and the guy looked at Gihun. He'd put down a fire extinguisher. He must've knocked the officer out.

"Are...are you Mr. Seong Gihun? I've been helping Mr. Kim look for the man with the ddakji. My name is Choi Wooseok. We've been sending you pictures from the subway stations every day! Don't you remember? We've never met in person, but I've heard a lot about you from my boss. He said you were a great man who came to settle your debt voluntarily. He said he'd never seen anyone like you...that bastard. Did you kill him, Miss. Son? You goddamn son of a bitch! That bastard... that bastard killed the boss. I played two rocks by mistake. He had paper and scissors. All he had to do was pick paper. But he didn't. Like a fool..." Wooseok said whilst he was crying his eyes out. I looked at the card. 'October 31 Midnight Club HDH' it read. I saw that Gihun had the same card. What would he be doing in a club? We moved the body and Wooseok was cleaning the scene of blood. Gihun and I were in the bathroom. Interrogating the officer.

"Detective Hwang Junho. Now I remember. You came to see me at my house once before." Gihun said to him, I'd never met him before.

"We've met twice. Once in front of your house, and again...on that island. Do you remember? The night of the ruckus in the dorm. The masked men went in to stop it." Junho said to us and he was one of the guys with mask.

"Were you one of them?" Gihun asked him and pointed the gun at him.

"I snuck in there in disguise to find my brother." Junho said to us and how did we know that.

"How can we believe you?" Gihun asked him and I leaned forwards.

"One of the masked men asked you about someone named Hwang Inho." He said to us and I remembered that slightly. "That was me. Hwang Inho is my brother. Who's the man you killed?" Junho asked and he looked at me.

"He was a recruiter. He find players to play the game. But I never killed him. He simply played a game and lost." I said to him and Junho looked at me.

"Are you still a part of that game?" He asked me and Gihun.

"We're trying to put an end to it." Gihun said to us and if that meant trying to survive the games again. I guess that's what we'd do.

"How?" Junho asked us.

"I'm going to find that guy first. The overseer of the game, the one who worked for Oh Ilnam. Do you know who he is?" Gihun asked him and I was hoping that he knew.

"The masked men call him Captain." Junho said to us and I was hoping he knew who that was.

"Did you see his face?" Gihun asked him and maybe he did.

"Please say you did." I said to him and Junho looked down.

"No, I didn't see his face. He was wearing a black mask. How do you plan on finding him?" Junho asked and that's when we both showed our invitations.

"This is the invitation he sent." Gihun said and I looked at the card.

"If you find him, what next? Kill him?" Junho asked and we both shook our heads. I didn't know what we'd do.

"Killing him will not put an end to the game. Before Oh Ilnam died, he said he created the game for his clients." Gihun said to us, we needed to know who these clients were.

"That's right. There are people they call the VIPs. I saw one of them. Let me go. I'll help you find them." Junho said and I looked down at his handcuff. I wanted to trust him.

"Mr. Seong, Miss Son. You can't trust cops. I've never seen cops helping people like us." Wooseok said from the other side of the glass. I then looked back at Junho.

"I'm sorry about your brother. But you should forget about it." Gihun said and he stood up. I followed.

"Can you forget? The people who died on that island? Your lover, Haneul? I saw things that you didn't. I can help you...with what you're trying to do." Junho said and I looked at him.

"As long as you help us. I trust you." I said to him and that's when I started to undo his handcuff.

"Please reconsider, Mr. Seong. I once hit scammed and lost all my money. I was furious, so I roughed him up a little. It wasn't even that bad, but the cops really arrested me and told me to settle with him. That asshole took everything. You know what's crazy? I went to prison, and he got away with it. Since then, I've never trusted cops..." Wooseok said to us as we were in Gihun's building. He had a room just for the money. "The money...Mr. Seong. So it's true that you won the game?" Wooseok asked, all my money was in a safe place.

"It's blood money for all those people who died there. We're going to use it to fight those bastards. If you help me, I'll give you as much as you want." Gihun said looking at Wooseok and Junho. I didn't want any of that money.

"Im not doing this for money." Junho said to us and he was doing this for his brother.

"Me neither. That bastard killed my boss right in front of me. He was like a brother to me. He even officiated my wedding. Im going to find the fat cats, tie them up, make them play Rock, Paper, Scissors and shoot them dead." Wooseok said to us, he was doing this for revenge. We all had things in mind.

"They have armed forces on that island. We can't fight them with a few pistols." Junho said and that's when Gihun led us into another room. A gun room.

"These are what I've collected so far." Gihun said to us and picked one up.

"This one seems perfect." I said to him as I took the rifle.

"Are they real? Where did you get all these? Man, Mr. Seong. So you've got a plan!" Wooseok said and I put the gun back into its place.

"I want you to gather people we can join forces with." Gihun said and then they could take the island.

"Sure, don't worry. I know some men who are good at that stuff. These are K2s, aren't they? I haven't seen one since I was in the military." Wooseok said and that's when I saw that Junho had picked one of the guns up.

"I'm guessing they're black market. Do they even work?" Junho asked and that's when Gihun moved the shower curtain. It led into numerous rooms that's when Gihun started using the rifle. It worked.

"Come and practice whenever you can. Also, I suggest that you quit your current job." Gihun said and he left. I then looked at him.

"He has a point. It'll be safer that way." I said to Junho. I couldn't believe that Gihun has kept all of this hidden. When I got back to my apartment I saw that everything was clean. I saw the picture of Saebyeok and I. I picked it up. "What do I tell? Tell me what I should do." I said to her. If only she was still here to talk to me. A few days had passed and that's when I had to get a fake tooth put in. It had a tracker. The dentist was coming over to my place with Wooseok.

"Miss. Son, are you ready?" Wooseok asked me and I looked at him.

"I've gone through worse." I said to him and that's when I opened my mouth. The guy then pulled my tooth out before putting the tracker in. It was painful but I didn't let it get to me. That's when Wooseok checked the tracker.

"At least it works." I said to him and that's when they left to go and see Gihun. Do the same thing, in case we got separated. When he left, I called Umma.

"Haneul, are you finally flying out?" She asked me and I couldn't say anything.

"I have a few things left to do. I'll be there soon, I promise." I said to her. When it was my time to get picked up. I was scared but I wasn't. Gihun had been dropped off at his location. It was just me now.

"Wow, look at all these people. What is going on today? Wait, is it today? Hall...what's it called again?" Wooseok asked Junho and I.

"October 31, Halloween." Junho said as we looked at all the people.

"Yes, Halloween. I'm getting a bad feeling. This may be some kind of ruse." Wooseok said to us and I knew that it wouldn't be.

"The main person that's called the Front Man. You mentioned he wears a gray hood and a black mask, right?" I asked Junho and he looked at me.

"Yeah." He said and that made sense as to why it would be Halloween.

"Oh, that must be why he chose today. To cover his face. That bastard is trying to be clever. Damn." Wooseok said and it was closer to midnight now.

"I'm going." I said to them and I reached for the door.

"Okay." Wooseok said and he got out as well. We both put ear pieces in. "Hold on! Let me put something over my face." Wooseok said and he went to a vendor. That's when I entered the club. If I wasn't attempting to bring someone down. I'd probably be having a fun time in here. That's when I saw someone with a gray hood. I went over to him. But it was just a guy dressed as the grim reaper. I couldn't see anyone. That was when I turned around and saw people in pink suits. Like on the island. I followed him. They were taking me somewhere. We then started making our way outside the club. We ended up in a back alley. There was a white limousine out front. The guy opened the door for me and I got in. Gihun was there as well.

"Players 456 and 217. Do you remember? We spoke once in this car." The golden piggy bank said to us, the voice must've been the front man.

"Was it this car? It's nicer than I remember." Gihun said to it.

"I sincerely hoped you'd both have a good life. I hoped you'd forget everything that happened and be happy." He said and I looked at the piggy bank.

"That's easier said then done." I said to the bank.

"I didn't know you cared so much about us. I'm almost moved to tears." Gihun said to it, I think we both wanted this over with.

"You should have gotten on that plane. That's the best choice you could have made." He said to us and I know it would have. But I couldn't go.

"I have never forgotten...what you said to us then. That's why I wanted to see you again so badly." Gihun said to him and I'd never forget it either.

"Now that we're here, say what you want to say. What do you want from me?" He asked and Gihun leaned forwards.

"Stop the game." We both said to it.

"The game?" He asked us.

"The game you've been playing. The game that's still going on this day." Gihun said to him but I knew nothing we said would work.

"All we did was create it. All of you participated by choice." He said to us but none of us had a choice really. Even though we left, we all went back.

"Don't give me that shit. You manipulated people who feel like they're at a dead end. You drive them to their deaths and enjoy it. You think if you just call it their own choice, your filthy game will become some sort of charity event?" Gihun asked and I nodded along with what he was saying.

"They were all just losers of the game. Trash eliminated from the competition. A ton of new trash is being poured into the world as we speak. You still don't see it, do you? The game will not end unless the world changes." He said to us and this game wouldn't change anything.

"'That's just how the world is, so just shut up and accept it'? That's a story created by people like you. You think people are just horses in a race, and you own the horses." Gihun said and he was saying everything I wanted to say.

"Your way with words has improved. So? Is your plan to convince the owners of the horses? To stop the race?" He asked and I looked at the piggy bank.

"You could say it's something like that." I said to the bank. It felt weird not talking to an actual person. I could hear the in ear monitor. They were being attacked out there.

"Or were you going to kidnap me?" He asked us and what if we were to do that. That's when Gihun pulled a gun out.

"Stop the car." He shouted and he tried shooting the glass. Bulletproof.

"Do you think you can stop the game with a pistol?" The front man asked and Gihun seat the gun down.

"Put us in the game." Gihun said to him.

"Just do it." I said to him.

"You both want to be in the game?" The front man asked us. Like he wanted a confirmation.

"Put us back in the game." Gihun and I said to him at the same time.

"Weren't you telling me to stop the game just a second ago?" He asked us. And we were.

"If we're back in the game, those fat cats you serve will find it fun for sure. So, take us to the games. What are you hesitating for? Are you scared? That you might lose to us like Oh Ilnam did? Oh Ilnam didn't want to admit it until the moment he died. He knew someone had come to help that homeless man, but he refused to look out the window. But when he stopped breathing, I'm sure he knew that he had lost." Gihun said to the Front Man

"Have you seen The Matrix? They could've lived in peace if they took the blue pill. But they still chose the red pill to play the heroes. Do you also think you're a hero who can change the world?" He asked us and I'd like to think that way.

"I'll show you that the world...doesn't always go the way you want it to." Gihun said to him and I was hoping we'd be put back in the game.

"If that's what you want, have it your way." He said and that's when a mist was pit into the back. I knew what it was. What it would do. It wasn't long until I was unconscious. I'd be back in the game now. Back as 217.
