AS THE PLAYERS STEPPED INTO THE carousel thing as i spun, and the music started playing. thanos started dancing along and soon enough, him, namgyu and jung mi-rae we're all spinning in circles.

"Ten." the voice called out as the carousel stopped and the three dancing session stopped. they shared a look before grabbing minsu, and the other guy and looking around. they ran to a room and five more people ran into the room.

the door closed and locked and jung mi-rae took deep breaths and let out a breathless laugh, but it quickly stopped when she heard a bunch of gunshots.

"The following players have been eliminated. Players 013, 043, 049, 054, 060..." the voice said as the door opened and they walked out the room.

they got on the carousel as the music began to play again. until it stopped and the woman spoke again, "four."

the five players shared a look and thanos turned to gyeong-du and kicked him, "Gyeong-su, you're out!" he yelled. "Let's go! Whoo!"

"Wait, Gyeong-su..." minsu said.

"no time for him!" jung mi-rae and thanos yelled as they both grabbed minsu and ran to a room and closed the door.

"Ten. Nine. Eight. Seven. Six. Five. Four. Three. Two. One."

they all panted as there was more and more shooting.

"Wait!" thanos yelled. "Where did you leave my boy Gyeong-su? fuck! Gyeong-su!" thanos yelled as he looked out the small hole on the door.

"Room 33, eliminated."

the doors opened and thanos stepped out first, followed by the others. as the game continued the music played until the woman called out, "three."

"Who should we take?" namgyu asked as thones eyes lit up,

"rock papers scissors!" thanos said.

jung mi-rae put out her hand to minsu, "come with me."

as thanos and namgyu turned to the two minsu put out scissors. "Min-su, you win! Come on, my boy! Min-su is with us. Let's go!" the three ran away.

jung mi-rae watched the three tun away, thanos looking back at her. she rolled her eyes and looked around and she ran into a room with people that were only two and she slammed the door shut before leaning against it.

there were multiple gunshots out the room and she sighed. "mother fuckers. im gonna kill that bitch." jung mi-rae yelled as she hit the door with her fists.

she took a deep breath as the door unlocked. she stepped outside, "The following players have been eliminated. Players 034, 038, 104, 109, 291, 309, 335, 345, 347..."

"Welcome back, my friends. Skrrt!" thanos said as it caught jung mi-raes eyes. she rolled her eyes before she stepped onto the carousel and it began to spin and the music played.

"Six." the woman said as jung mi-rae felt her arm pulled away by thanos. "okay we're five. we need one more." thanos said as they ran to a room and a random player joined.

the door clicked locked and jung mi-rae gripped thanos hand as there were multiple gunshots. the door opened and they stepped out.

"Now, the final round will begin." the carousel spun around and the music played until . . . "Two." the five looked at each other before jung mi-rae looked at thanos and he gripped her hand before running off to a room.

they opened the door and stepped in before shutting the door and locking it. they both panted before turning to each other and smiled.

"that was scary as fuck." jung mi-rae said as thanos nodded.

"It's Thanos, baby, snapping hearts with my vibe,
Jung Mi-rae, girl, you're the reason I survive.
Forget the games, I'll play for you all day,
In this deadly world, you're my one getaway." thanos rapped.

ten

nine

Eight.

Seven.

jung mi-rae smiled and she felt herself lean in. and so did thanos.

six.

they leaned in even closer.

five.

theyr lips were an inch apart.

four.

and then it happened. theyr lips touched. jung mi-rae felt her heart skip a beat. if it would have happened the first day she would have beat thanos up but now. . .

she couldnt help but cup his face and kiss him back..

three.

two.

they both broke apart, resting theyr forehead against each others.

one.

the gunshots made them jump apart as jung mi-rae cleared her throat and looked around. the door unlocked and thanos stepped out and then jung mi-rae did too.

thanos ran up to minsu, "My little boy, Min-su! I'm so happy to see you again, bro." thanos hugged minsu, "Min-su, do you know how worried I was?"

thanos looked at the others, "Let's play
one more game, okay? You'll play one more, right?" he pointed at jung mi-rae who nodded.

"THE VOTE WILL ONCE AGAIN BE conducted in reverse order of your player numbers. Player 456, please cast your vote. To ensure fair and democratic voting, we will not tolerate any disruptions from this point onward. Please bear that in mind."

before the voting thanos turned to her and he gave her a small tablet she frowned but she popped it in her mouth and thanos smirked.

"player, 067." jung mi-rae sighed and walked to the buttons. she smirked and she pressed the 'O' button. she smiled and kissed the two guard masks on each side of the table.

she ran back to the 'O' side and she cheered. "Player 230." thanos ran up to the buttons and he kissed the 'O' button before turning around, putting his arms up in a 'O' shape and he yelled,

"Circle! Let's go!"

"The vote has ended. Clause three of the consent form. "In the case of a tie,
players will vote again." To give you some time to think, the vote will be conducted tomorrow. Until then, please think carefully about your future." the guards walked away.

later on they got some food. folded in foil. when jung mi-rae opened the foil she saw a fork. they were fucked. she saw some food but she didnt want to eat anymore.

after sometime she had fallen asleep and she woke up from people yelling in the bathroom. she got up and went to the boys bathroom. she saw thanos by the door, namgyu in the next stall in the bathroom staring into the stall next to him.

she raised an eyebrow.

"Min-su. I know you're upset with me. I'm sorry, boy! But still, you shouldn't have betrayed me. That really hurt. Open the door." thanos said as he leaned his head against the door.

"Hey, Min-su. You said you got scammed in a rental deal and have no place to go anyway." namgyu said.

"Open the door!" thanos screamed as he banged his forehead against the bathroom door.

"Let's play one more game. We'll protect you. I swear. So when we vote again tomorrow, press O, all right? Come here." namgyu said.

the bathroom door opened and minsu tried to run away but thanos pushed him down.

"Whoa, boy. Sit the fuck down." thanos said as jung mi-rae walked more into the bathroom anr sat down besides thanos.

"arent you a girl—" namgyu got cut off.

"does it matter? its not like i would want to stare at the small shrimp in your pants." jung mi-rae shot back at him as namgyu rolled his eyes.

thanos ignored the two and turned to minsu, "Look, Min-su. Before I came here, I went to a bridge to k*ll myself. But on that bridge,a man in a suit came and gave me that card. You got one too, didn't you?" he asked.

"Yes."

"I don't have a religion, but it felt like... like divine intervention. It felt like I was being given a chance at a whole new life. So I decided to give it my best shot and make my mom proud. But you're stopping me from doing that. It makes me fucking furious!" thanos said as his voice got louder.

"I'm so fucking angry, man!" thanos yelled.

"knock it off." player 333 said.

"Mind your own damn business and fuck off." jung mi-rae said. "The Amazing Myung-gi. Who do you think you are? The election commissioner?"

"Everyone on Team X! These guys are threatening one of us!"

"excuse you but im not a guy." jung mi-rae said as 333 turned to her and stepped closer to her but thanos stepoed Infront of her.

"They're forcing him to vote O next time!" 333 turned to his friends.

"Is that true? Hey, that's cheating."

"You kids are still so young. Who taught you to do something so nasty?"

"Hey! Team O! These Xs are about to attack us!" 333 yelled.

"What the fuck? Why would they attack us?"

"Min-su, come here." 333 said to minsu.

"Are you high? Have you lost your mind?"

"It's because of her, isn't it? We saw him with some bitch earlier. It looked like they were a thing, remember?" namgyu said.

"You little shit. You have time to fool around with a girl?" thanos asked.

"I've been watching her carefully. She was walking a bit funny, and her belly looked..."

"Leave her alone, you bastards! You're getting all worked up."

"So there is something going on. I'm telling you."

"Something's going on. If you press X again tomorrow,  I'm going to cut off your finger, give it to her, and ask her out. She'll love it." thanos whispered.

"You asshole!"  myunggi tried to punch thanos but jung mi-rae grabbed thanos arm an pulled him away so he doesnt get hit. and thanos punched him.

"You motherfucker! I'll end you!" they both began to fight. thanos made 333 fall and he began to strangle him.

"Your money, your girl, your life,
they're all mine. It all belongs to me, Thanos the great!" thanos said.

jung mi-rae watched them both and she looked around. she looked down at the two guys and thats when she saw it. . . the fork. in myunggis hand.
