I was now thinking of what the next game could be. Before it was the Dalgona game last time but this time it might be different. When dinner was passed around. It looked better than the first meal we had. I was joined by a girl why I ate. "So you won before. What was that like?" She asked me and I looked at her.

"It was awful. I said goodbye to the one person I lobed the most." I said to her and she looked at me.

"It was that bad?" She asked me and I looked at her and nodded.

"No one should go through what I did." I said to her and she looked at me.

"But you voted to stay?" She asked me and I looked at her.

"To give people more money. Next one I'm out." I said to her and she looked at me. Putting a hand out.

"Se-mi." She said and I looked at her.

"Haneul." I said to her and shook her hand.

"What made you play the first time?" She asked me and I looked at her.

"I was from North Korea. I needed the money to get out of Seoul entirely. Start a new life." I said to her and she nodded. Looking at her, she was pretty. In other circumstances maybe we could've seen each other on another level. If she was that way.

"That must've been a push. Did it work?" She asked me and I looked at her.

"No, my Umma is in the states and my Appa was found and went back to the north." I said to her and that's when I saw fight break out. It reminded me of the one that Saebyeok had.

"Boys, what are you doing in the middle of mealtime? No fights during mealtime. There are elders present. Mind your manners. And two against one? Aren't you embarrassed?" Player 1 said to them all.

"You're lecturing me when you ended up in this shithole too? Dude, stop running your mouth and take care of your own damn kids." Thanos said you him, if only his fans knew how he acted.

"What did you just say?" Player 1 said to him.

"I said save the lecture for your own damn kids." Thanos said and that's when 1 grabbed his neck.

"Son of a bitch." Thanos' bitch said going over to them. He only only kicked down. That's when Thanos was taken down by 1. Everyone then clapped. Se-Mi looked back at me.

"I wasn't expecting that too happen." She said as the two of us were clapping together.

"It needed to happen." I said to her. After meal time we had a small bit of time before the lights went out. I just led awake. I wasn't scared to sleep, I was scared of what was to come. That's when I had a visitor. "Se-Mi, what are you doing here?" I asked her and I sat up.

"Couldn't stop thinking about you." She said to me and I looked at her shaking my head.

"Se-Mi, we can't one of us is going to die and we can't." I said to her and she got on my mind.

"If I die, at least I could say I kissed someone gorgeous. If you'll let me." She said to me and I looked at her tilting my head.

"Just one kiss. That's it." I said to her and she looked at me.

"Just one." She said and that's when we kissed. I knew that it wouldn't be the only one. I couldn't have it lead to more.

"That was perfect. But we can't do that again." I said to her and she looked at me. She didn't realize that I'd lost my love.

"Haneul, we could die tomorrow. It's not like we're falling in love, just having fun." She said to me and when she put it that way. I hadn't thought about that yet. She had a point.

"You have a point." I said to her and I kissed her again. I was enjoying this too much.

"Before we go anywhere tomorrow. Meet me in the bathroom." She said and she walked away.

"Whatever you say." I said to her with as she went away. When we were woken in the morning. I headed down to the bathroom.

"You came." She said to me. She was in a stall.

"Not yet I haven't." I said to her and she gave me a smirk.

"You will in a minute." She said to me with a smirk. And she was right. Afterwards we headed back out into the main area. No one had even noticed we were gone. That's when the alarm buzzed.

"Attention, please. The second game will begin momentarily. Please follow the instructions from our staff. Let me repeat. The second game will begin momentarily. Please follow the instructions from our staff." The PA said and we headed into the center of the room. I was hoping it was the Dalgona game. I could go for the triangle and survive. When we got to the play space. It wasn't the playground. It was something different. "Welcome to the second game. This game will be played in teams. Please divide into teams of five in the next ten minutes. Let me repeat. This game will be played in teams. Please divide into teams of five in the next ten minutes." The PA said and that's when I went to Se-Mi.

"This isn't like before. This should be Dalgona." I said to her and shook my head.

"I guess we need three others." She said to me and I wasn't prepared to die on this game.

"Please divide into teams now." The PA said and I looked around and everyone that there was.

"There's two of us so far. We just need the three others to go." I said to her.

"What's your name?" She asked someone.

"It's Park Minsu." He said to us.

"What brought you here?" She asked him and I saw three people walk up. Not who I wanted.

"Señoritas, excuse me. Let's play the game together." Thanos said to us and Se-Mi and I looked at each other.

"Well, why should we?" She asked him.

"Dinh you know who he is? He's Thanos, the rapper." 124 said to us. I'd never heard of him before.

"I'm gonna kill half of humanity with my raps" one of Thanos minions rapped and I held a laugh in.

"Hang on, two girls? We don't know what the game is." 124 said to us and Thanos looked at us.

"I, Thanos, the great, will protect you." He said to us both.

"That sounds tempting." I said to him going along with it all.

"Right, Thanos. So have you got all the Infinity stones?" She asked him and I smiled a little.

"Of course. I'm going to destroy anyone who gets on my way! Just stick with me, and you'll be safe. Okay?" He said to us and she looked at me and then at him.

"But we came as a package together. We already teamed up." She said to him and that made my heart flutter a little. We hadn't asked Minsu just yet.

"No problem. We'll take you both on. What's your name?" He asked me and I looked at him.

"Haneul." I said to him and he looked at me and nodded.

"Welcome to the Thanos world, señoritas." He said looking at me and at Se-Mi. That's when the timer went off.

"Time for team selection is up. The game you will be playing is Six-Legged Pentathlon. You will start with your legs tied together. Each member will take turns playing a mini-game at every ten meter mark, and if you win, the team can move on to the next one. Here are the mini-games. Number one, the Ddakji. Number two, Flying Stone. Number three, Gong-gi. Number four, spinning top. Number five, Jegi. Your goal is to win all the mini-games and cross the finish line in five minutes. Please decide players for each mini-game." The PA said to us all.

"You guys pick." Thanos said and I looked at them all.

"I only know how to play Ddakji." I said to them, everything else would be new to me. When the timer started. I was nervous.

"Teams one and two, get ready." The PA said and both teams started shouting. The gun fired and we watched the teams go. It was good not being first. It meant we could see how the games worked. Especially since I had only played one. Just watching the first set of teams. I knew which one would be eliminated. They didn't have long to go. Both teams would be eliminated. They didn't finish the five tasks. It wasn't long until they all shot dead. "The following players have been eliminated. Players 016, 045, 178, 189, 198, 254, 286, 341, 395, and 416." The PA said announcing the ones that didn't make it.

"We should have left! We're all going to die now! We're all going to die because of those who voted to continue! What are you going to do now? You think you can survive?" One of the guys in the other side shouted. I looked at Se-Mi.

"This isn't going to end well." I said to her. I looked down at Thanos. He was jittering. Like he was on something.

"Attention, please. Please wait while we tidy up the venue." The PA said and I saw Thanks and Namgyu talking. They were talking something. Namgyu then looked at me.

"What?" He asked me and I shook my head.

"Nothing." I said to him.

"What's your name again?" He asked me and I looked at him.

"Son Haneul." I said to him.

"Haneul. You played before, I hope you thought of this quote and still do. 'Those seeking life shall croak. Those seeking death shall live.' So don't be scared. Just tell yourself that you don't care if you die. Then we'll survive, win the money, and get the fuck out." Namgyu said to us and I never cared to die.

"Hey, mind your own business." Se-Mi said to him.

"Me?" He asked her.

"Yes, you. Mr. Shaky Hands." She said to him.

"What's with the attitude? We shouldn't have picked a girl. She's got an attitude." He said to Thanos.

"You're a prick. You have to pop a pill for your nerves." She said to him and she was right.

"Fucking bitch." He said to her and that's when the doors opened. The forklifts then came in.

"Attention, please. Players, please wait while we tidy up the venue." The PA said and the coffins came in. The same ones from years ago. Black with a pink ribbon. Like gift boxes. One of the boxes tops came off followed by gunshots. He wasn't dead. But he was now. "The next teams, please get ready." The PA said and the next two groups stood up. "Teams three and four, get ready." The PA said and I looked at the teams. Hopefully some of them would make it.
