waking up with a gasp as if she had just come alive again startled not only sooha but also na hee who was reading a book on the bed next to her.

"sooha-ssi!" na hee quickly calls out, standing up and helping her to sit up, "how are you doing? does anything hurt?"

she nods her head, rubbing her head before she was hit with a memory that seemed to be new but somehow she liked it as she lets a smile slip.

"sooha-ssi.. are you really okay? why are you smiling?"

standing up without any problems she walks to the door before turning her head back to a stunned na hee, "they are in the cafeteria.. right?"

the girl slowly nods her head and before she knew it she was running after sooha who was running down the hall towards them, wanting to be present of the meeting they had when it came to voting.

opening the door in haste she attracted all looks and yoonseo quickly stood up, "sooha! are you alright? how are you feeling?"

she shakes her head, "i'm okay. nothing hurts me anymore."

she wanted to look at yoonseo with a assuring smile but her eyes drifted towards junhee instead who stared at her with wide eyes.

kyung jun didnt waste a second and points his finger at her, "maybe miss smart is the mafia? ever thought about her? she was the one who convinced everyone to collect our phones in the first place."

junhee went to defend her but she shook her head, "kyung jun, i.. just because i collected the phones doesent mean i'm the mafia. i thought we could cheat the game in a way i had done in the games at home. clearly i am wrong and i am sorry for the people we lost.."

woo ram looks up towards kyung jun as he asks, "aside from that.. why did you do that?"

"what the fuck are you on about?" he asks back, not having the nerves anymore.

"why were you hiding your phone yesterday?" woo ram asks him and sooha's eyes widen a bit, "you knew they would die if we dont vote somehow. you didnt tell us instead you let them all die."

"i told you!" kyung jun raises his voice, pointing at junhee and sooha as he continues, "how can we trust those punks?"

"why did you force us to trust them if you yourself couldnt?" woo ram asks again.

kyung jun looks around before he clicks his tongue quietly, "you're the one who killed lee juyoung, you bastard. you think i didnt know?"

woo ram's eyes widen as he sits up, "what..?"

"you were shit on online after you confessed your feelings to juyoung and got rejected." kyung jun elaborates.

the accused boy stands up to defend himself, "juyoung and i were just joking-!"

"stop bullshitting, you asshole!" kyung jun yells out before lowering his voice, "you got on your knees and begged her to take it down. is there anyone here who doesent know about that?"

"yah! choi mina! speak up, you recorded that damn video." he continues.

the girl hesitates for a few seconds before nodding her head a bit, "y-yeah.."

"how does that matter right now?" woo ram asks.

"it fucking matters since your the mafia, you fucker!" kyung jun yells out, "you trashed juyoung behind her back, calling her a sly fox. you killed choi joowon first since it would be obvious if you killed juyoung right away, didnt you?"

"thats not true!" woo ram defends, "how could i be the mafia? its you!"

sooha closed her eyes, leaning her head in her hands as she thought about his defense, if he was a civilian then he should definitely work on defending himself properly.

kyung jun stands up, his phone in his hand as he clicks something, "fuck you."

everyone gets their phone out and sooha didnt bother to, already knowing from the announcement that was told a few seconds later.

ko kyung jun voted for park woo ram.'

woo ram turns around, "im not! dont do it!"

"i can tell from his eyes. he's the mafia." kyung jun states, his hand holding woo ram's face in it.

"hey, hey, hey!" somi says, pushing kyung jun away from woo ram as the rest stands up.

'shin seungbin and kim jinha voted for park woo ram.'

woo ram looks at his phone before towards the three, "yah, you sons of bitches!"

"hurry up and vote for this bastard too." kyung jun says, holding woo rams shirt in his first, "yah, choi mina! this bastard is pretty pissed with you as well. since juyoung die, its your turn today."

with that kyung jun walks past sooha who stared at him while seungbin and jinha bump their shoulders with junhee's and almost with her own if the boy she loved hadnt pushed her gently back.

sooha exchanged a subtle look with jungwon who in turn looked at woo ram before sooha turns to mina.

the girl stands up, the chair scraping at the floor as she does so before she stares at them and turns around to leave.

"yah, where are you going? yah!" junhee calls out but doesent get a responds.

jisoo looks unsure for a moment before she too stands up, taking yujun's hand and leaving the room as well.

"guys..." junhee calls out before he raises his voice, "guys, where are you going?"

the rest went to follow and junhee quickly runs after eun chan, holding his wrist, "guys, we should talk before you go."

"we can gather after a little rest." he responds before he leaves the room.

choi mina has voted for park woo ram.'

woo ram gets angry and went to go after her, "that crazy bitch!"

junhee quickly grabs his wrist, holding him back, "hey, woo ram! dont. i'll convince her."

the group that was left all sat scattered around the room as sooha sat next to somi and opposite of junhee, the boy playing with her hand that held a few rings she had on.

woo ram weaved a hand through his hair in frustration, deep down he knew he would be dead from the move he did but he still held on hope.

"i should've stopped them from voting.." sooha mutters out as junhee nods his head along.

"even if you had, would they have listened?" jungwon asks.

somi suddenly looks up, "instead of sitting here like this, shouldnt we at least ask the others to vote for someone else?"

sooha turns her head to somi, "who would you suggest they vote for?"

"i dont know!" somi says, "as long as its not one of us."

sooha noticed junhee's eyes on her as she was still looking at somi.

na hee speaks up, "we just need to know who the mafia is.."

after a few seconds of silence their phones chime and they each get their own out, seeing a few that voted for woo ram.

'im eun chan has voted for park woo ram.'

'nam yeonwoo has voted for park woo ram.'

woo ram looks up, "what the hell is this?"

"whats with them..?" somi asks quietly.

"those bastards.." woo ram says angry, "how could they do this to me? huh?"

he lets his phone fall on the table before sooha speaks up, "jisoo and yujun are on our side, we just need to convince them."

"i'll find a way." yoonseo speaks up, "okay?"

"a way?" woo ram asks as he looks at the table before he hits it, "fuck! theres no other choice. its either ko kyung jun or me now. one of us has to die for this to end. am i wrong?"

sooha shakes her head slowly, "what do you want to do then?"

"lets do the same." he answers, "lets all vote for kyung jun then."

junhee looks at him with slightly wide eyes that matched sooha's, "what?"

"he's always harassing the others. that son of a bitch deserves to die." woo ram says and it was quiet afterwards before he stood up and went to walk past somi but she pushed him back slightly, "that bastard will do anything to stay alive."

"fine, lets say its me today. what about tomorrow? who will he choose tomorrow? sooha? or you, junhee?" woo ram says, "its one of you! is it kyung jun or me? make your choice."

"woo ram is right." na hee breaks the silence, "i'll vote for kyung jun."

"me too." somi says quickly.

"judging by his actions yesterday, he's no good." jungwon speaks up, "i'll vote for him too."

sooha looks towards jungwon before looking at her phone, looking at the list of participants in thought.

woo ram looks at yoonseo, junhee and sooha to which the last two avoid eye contact, "guys.. guys. if you dont help me, i'm going to die."

when they stayed quiet he raised his voice in anger, "are you going to kill me? please.. please help me, will you?"

a few moment later they all stood in a circle, each holding their phones out as they vote for kyung jun.

'kim junhee has voted for ko kyung jun.'

'kim somi has voted for ko kyung jun.'

'lee sooha has voted for ko kyung jun.'

'park woo ram has voted for ko kyung jun.'

'oh jungwon has voted for ko kyung jun.'

'lee yoonseo has voted for ko kyung jun.'

'ahn na hee has voted for ko kyung jun.'

"only yujun and jisoo are left, right?" junhee ask as he looks around.

somi nods her head, turning to him as she answers, "yeah, they should be in their room."

"okay." woo ram lets out before quickly leaving them to go to the pair, somi following him quickly as junhee looks at the other four.

"you guys should rest since you're not feeling well." he pauses, "i'll go."

with that he leaves the four girls alone until after a few seconds na hee went to ask, "want to go to the infirmary?"

sooha lets out a airy scoff before she leaves after junhee, quickly walking after him as she leaves the three girls alone.

meanwhile yoonseo went back to the freeze room with jungwon and na hee as she wanted to look at the tunnel that was open when sooha was found there.

while the three girls did that sooha catched up to junhee, grabbing his arm as she pulls him back and unexpectedly her strength was too much as he bumped into her.

their chests were very close and she lets out a nervous breath as she looks up to him, her hand not leaving his arm as she utters the words, "i remember.."

his brows furrow together and she continues, "i remember the day.. the day i gave you my nameplate."

his eyes widen a bit as he went to say something but she shakes her head, "its okay. i understand why you didnt say anything i just.. i just hope you still feel that way as on the day i gave it to you."

"because i do." she states, her eyes staring at his face, trying to see his reaction.

he observed her face and noticed she wasnt lying and told the truth, he gave her a small smile as he slowly nods his head, "i do feel that way."

she lets out a soft laugh of disbelief as she covers her mouth with her hands, looking down before she looks up to him again, "i'm glad.. i know this is such a fucking wrong time but i just needed to tell you."

he takes her hand in his own as he gave it a soft squeeze, "lets talk alone after tonight?"

she nods her head quickly, agreeing to his offer as the two walk down the hall together and towards the room where yunjun and jisoo were in.

arriving there sooha sat on the bed next to junhee while woo ram was next to her on the other side, also sitting on the bed.

somi sat on the floor opposite of jisoo and yujun as she tries to convince them.

"i'm glad that you two are the last ones to vote." somi says before staring at yujun specifically, "ppalli, vote now."

yujun nods his head quickly, grabbing his phone, "okay, i'll do it now."

jisoo grabs his wrist quickly, "no. dont force us."

sooha had to swallow the scoff she wanted to let out and suppress the eye roll that followed quickly after that.

"what?" somi lets out confused.

"jisoo-ah.." woo ram goes to the table as well, "i'm not.. forcing you or anything. i'm just in a tight spot."

"put yourself in my shoes." jisoo starts, "its either you or ko kyung jun. you barged in here, asking me to help you. how do you expect me to think clearly with all the pressure?"

"dont be like that." yujun says to his girlfriend.

"dont tell me.. you think.." woo ram says slowly, "i'm the mafia."

"who knows?" she answers, "can you leave, so we can think by ourselves?"

he looks down as he cursed before slamming the table and storming out of the room with junhee following quickly while sooha stays seated while she glanced at somi.

shortly after he came back and somi still tried her best, this time he stayed on his feet and didnt sit down.

"jisoo, you can think about this more." somi pauses before looking at yujun, "yujun-ah, you should vote for kyung jun now."

he nods his head and tries to take his phone again, "okay i'll do it."

"dont force him." jisoo says as she stops him, "give us time to think about this."

"whats more to think about?" somi says, trying to bring their friendship into it, "its not just anyone. its woo ram."

"why? lets be honest. he badmouthed juyoung all the time." jisoo says.

"this has nothing to do with that." somi says, "woo ram is our friend. please?"

"right, jisoo. lets side with woo ram." yujun says and sooha thought that would work this time.

but she was wrong when jisoo opened her mouth again, "cha yujun, get a grip. we need to find the mafia so we can go home! seriously."

"i dont trust anyone. it doesent matter if he's my friend." she continues, "besides, who knows? either of the two could have pushed dong hyun."

sooha tensed for a second before she stands up, standing behind somi, "yah! what did you just say?"

"yeah, since this hell trip you two are suddenly so close again, whats the matter?"

before sooha could say anything junhee put a hand on her shoulder, "thats enough. this isnt the time to fight."

somi just lets out a breath of disbelief while sooha didnt try to hide her eye roll this time.

the three walk down the hall as somi speaks up, "jisoo, i suddenly see her in a different light. how could she only care about saving herself?"

"aside from that, yujun is kind of a pushover." sooha comments before she opens the door to a room, "woo ram-ah."

when he didnt answer she walks further inside, "park woo ram!"

"he's not in here?" junhee asks confused.

somi turns around, "wheres woo ram?"

"i told him to stay in the room." junhee says, "lets go and look for him."

the three look in every room they see but nowhere was woo ram inside, opening another door she closes it before looking to junhee and somi, shaking her head.

"we should split up, maybe we'll find him quicker." junhee proposes.

sooha nods her head, following junhee with her eyes as he runs down the hallway before she runs to the second floor with a quiet somi following.
