sooha didnt know what to do. the boy she loves couldnt even walk more over get his phone.

she shakes her head quickly, seeing yoonseo and jungwon having their phones as she gives them a painful smile before she sees somi running to them, "junhee-ah.. here i got your phone."

somi hands his phone to him while she looks at sooha, "wheres your phone?"

she shakes her head, turning her head to junhee, "junhee-ah, vote. you need to vote just vote for me, we need to vote for each other."

he weakly shakes his head, staring at her with wide eyes. somi lets out a curse before turning around, "i'll find it! junhee you need to vote."

with that the girl runs back, yoonseo and jungwon run towards the two, either having their phone but the smaller girl's eyes widen when she didnt see sooha holding her phone.

"sooha! where is your phone?"

she shakes her head about to open her mouth to answer but somi quickly ran to her, handing her the phone before she said, "ppalli!"

the four exchange a nod before sooha sends a grateful smile to somi, before she votes for junhee while he did the same to her and jungwon voted for yoonseo while the smaller girl returns it.

'lee sooha voted for kim junhee.'

'kim junhee voted for lee sooha.'

'oh jungwon voted for lee yoonseo.'

'lee yoonseo voted for oh jungwon.'

sooha glances around only to finds hyun ho jumping off the balcony, hanging himself in the process as na hee cries her heart out for the boy she loved.

sooha flinched as the announcement played a alarm yet again. she had wide eyes when she noticed all the deaths that happened on this night.

'jang hyun ho was a civilian.'

junhee falls down to the ground, tears in his eyes as he stares at the aftermath as well. sooha quickly crouched down next to him, hugging him tightly as she was scared to loose him as well.

as he lets out his sobs sooha couldnt help but join in before another announcement was made.

'the voting is over.'

'by popular vote of 10 votes, baek eunha will be executed.'

'baek eunha is a civilian.'

said girl stands up, going to her friends as she tells them she really was a citizen as they all had guilty or sad looks on their faces.

when no one moved she ran out of the hall, her cries being the last thing they heard along with the occasional sob that escaped sooha.

just as eunha left the familiar melody played which caused them to fall asleep, sooha falling to the side as her eyes fill with the somewhat trusted dark while junhee fell to the side from his sitting position.

'night has come.'

the familiar melody was playing as everyone seemed to wake up slowly, exhausted and devastated from the events from the night before.

"juyoung, wake up." mina says, shaking her friend shortly before she turns to her friend, noticing her pale skin, "hey, juyoung-"

seeing her friend having a white cloth over her face she removes it and lets out a scream, the sight of her now dead friend imprinted in her mind forever.

'lee juyoung was executed by the mafia last night.'

'lee juyoung was a civilian.'

'before the previous voting ended, the doctor chose to use his healing ability on cha yujun.'

after the announcement everyone ran towards mina and juyoung's body. sooha stayed on her spot with her face blank while she listens to her classmates yells and cries.

"yah! lee sooha! kim junhee!" mina yells out, running to her as she yells, "you said you would take responsibility!"

"its your fault! they're all dead because of you!" mina continues to yell, "you're a murderer, you both are!"

she points at sooha while she does to same to him, sooha bites her lips as she stares at her with an unknown look before she slowly walks away, out of the room where seemingly almost everyone hated her currently.

she didnt listen to anyone else even tho yoonseo called out to her but she didnt listen, too observed in her thoughts as she slowly makes her way out to the parking lot, walking by the place where heo yeol jumped out of the window.

standing at the edge of the line she stares forwards, taking small steps towards the line.

'the game should be played within the boundaries.'

she blurred the voice of the announcement out as she goes to take another step forwards but was stopped when a hand pulled her back by her wrist.

getting enveloped into a hug was all she registered before she lets her tears fall. her legs give up as the person slowly sits down with her in their arms as they draw shapes on her back.

when she holds her hands over her face she heard a sob leaving their lips before the two let their tears fall. 

"i cant do this.. why.. why cant we just go home.." she cries out, wiping her tears away but new ones were already there.

"i did say i would protect you.. why would you try to take your life..?"

her hand moved a bit from her face and she is suddenly met with the familiar smell of his cologne, his arms tightly around her shoulder as he looks forward.

"i'm.. i'm sorry." she lets out, her arms going around his waist as he falls on his back with a soft thud, her body over his own in his arms as she continues to cry.

after a while the two walk inside, helping yeonwoo and eun chan to carry eunha down to the freeze room where they put all the other bodies.

one after one the others leave until it was only junhee, sooha and yoonseo.

junhee sits down, staring at the victim's from last night, his guilt still there, "i shouldnt have collected the phones."

sooha falls to her knees, tears brimming her eyes as she puts her hand on his shoulder, "its not your fault.. if its someone's then its mine. i had the idea and convinced you first.."

yoonseo crouches down next to the two, "we didnt know there was a rule like that."

junhee shakes his head about to say something but sooha interrupted, "ani.. its because of me.. i'm the representative, i have the duty to make sure everyone is safe but instead i all pushed them towards their death..."

"yah." yoonseo calls out, "people will keep dying until the game truly ends. if you two really want to take responsibility, think about how you can get the class out of here as soon as possible. okay?"

junhee nods his head slowly, getting up with the help of yoonseo before he holds his hand out to sooha. the girl stares at it for a few seconds before slowly taking it and getting up as well.

yoonseo turns around, leaving as junhee was quick to follow her towards where the rest was in the cafeteria. 

sooha on the other hand stayed for a few seconds longer, staring at her dead classmates as she holds back another sob.

when she wanted to leave through the plastic curtain a box fell to the floor, startling her as she lets out a whispered curse. turning around she walks towards it and noticed the wall had a slight indent in it, trying to push it she gets shocked when it opened.

right under the vent was some sort of tunnel that went towards nowhere. getting her phone out of her pocket she looks up when she heard something, but had to take in a deep breath when she saw what it was.

a girl with long black hair was in front of suddenly, staring at her with a face she couldnt recognize but one thing was for sure, sooha was having a mild heart attack.

feeling her chest ache and her throat closing up she pushes some boxes over, hoping someone would her her before she fell to the floor, her arms and legs trembling in an abnormal speed as she tries to take a breath which wasnt successful.

junhee came running inside along with yoonseo and jungwon, all trying to help her but she weakly took his hand as she tries to smile but it came out like a grimace. 

"sooha!"

"sooha whats wrong?"

"lee sooha!"

woo ram and surprisingly somi went towards her to help before jungwon looks at junhee, "she's having a heart attack.."

the boy suddenly had wider eyes than ever before, sooha.. lee sooha the girl he had known for around a year was suddenly having a heart attack? it was weird to him but he quickly picked her up along with woo ram.

"we need to get her to the infirmary! ppalli, ppalli!" junhee stressed.

the others made room for them as sooha suddenly grips her chest tighter, her eyes wider as she feels the sweat forming on her forehead.

she head yoonseo cry out to her friend as jungwon held her back, somi was following the three quickly as she held her hand but sooha could only see them in blurs and their voices were muffled.

"sooha.." somi lets out a painful whisper as she sees her former best friend in such condition.

a few paces before arriving the infirmary sooha's hand went limp making somi let out a panicked yell, making the two boys move quicker before they put her on the bed that was there.

although neither somi or junhee wanted to leave na hee offered to wait for her to wake up and message them if anything happens.

the two were grateful but still had a worried feeling as they leave their crush and still semi friend alone. nonetheless they knew she would want them to carry on so the two went back to the cafeteria towards the others as they have a meet up about who they would vote.

walking to the school's entrance sooha saw junhee walking alone with his headphones in. wearing a giddy smile she picks up her pace before she quickly stop in front of him.

her hair was in a neatly done bun with a cute hair clip she got from him when they went to an arcade a few days ago with their friends. it was one of the days she made an exception and she was glad she did otherwise she wouldnt have been able to spent time with him.

pieces of hair fell out as she had side bangs cut as she stares at him, waiting for him to remove his headphones which he did.

"junhee-ah..!" she greets him brightly.

he sends her a smile, "good morning sooha, how was your morning so far?"

"typical.." she quickly says before fiddling with her fingers that were behind her back, "i was thinking.. could we talk during lunch? i wanted to tell you something."

he tilts his head before nodding his head, "where do you want to meet up? or do you want to eat lunch before that?"

she shakes her head, "we could meet on the roof?"

he nods his head again as he pats her head, "sure thing, i'll see you in english class."

with that he waved to her, walking around her as he puts his headphones back in his ears and continued to their classroom.

sooha bites her lip as she follows him with her eyes, letting out a nervous smile before yoonseo jumped on her.

"sooha!! did you tell him already?" she asks with a giddy and curious smile.

she shakes her head, "i'll do it during lunch."

yoonseo shakes her head before the two went inside.

when the principal comes inside during their lesson that was before lunch he requested somi, junhee and of course sooha as she was the representative.

they had a talk about an upcoming school trip and after that they were dismissed back into their classes, somi didnt wait long before she went back quickly while sooha suddenly stops him.

a sudden confident feeling in her chest as she turns to him, both stood on the stairs before she took something out of her skirt pocket.

"junhee-ah.. give me your hand." she requests to which he did, she put it in his hand, quickly closing it before he could see what it was but when he felt the metal his eyes seemed to widen.

looking at her sweater he saw her name still there on the dark blue fabric, she gives him a nervous look as she says, "open your palm when i'm not here, alright?"

he nods his head, muttering a small, "okay."

she quickly turns around, running up the rest of the steps before disappearing around the corner and waited their quietly, trying to listen to his reaction.

the boy slowly opens his palm, a shiny metal coming into his vision as he read what was engraved on it.

'lee sooha'

it was tradition in their school, nameplates were used to ask someone out and it wasnt usual for him to get one as he was rather friendly to everyone. he wanted to give the girl he liked his own nameplate but to be honest he was a bit scared, not knowing how she felt and he was scared to ruin their friendship but by the looks of it she had a different mindset.

lee sooha was the girl he liked and wanted to give his nameplate to her but she was quicker. as usual for her.

he lets out a breathy laugh as he stares at the metal before a giddy smile plays on his lips, whispering victorious nothings.

sooha lets out a nervous breath, happy he accepted her nameplate before she lets out a yell when she saw yoonseo stand in front of her.

"why are you so smiley for? did something happen?"

she lets out a laugh looping her arms with seeun and yoonseo as she walks in the middle, walking down the stairs as she noticed it was lunch.

when they passed junhee he gave her a large bright smile which she nervously returned before yoonseo realized what they were having for lunch.

"oh my! today is kimchi day! cmon, i havent had kimchi in two weeks!"

sooha laughs as yoonseo drags her and seeun towards the cafeteria, "yeah because you were sick last thursday."

yoonseo pouts but didnt say anything else. when they arrived they got their lunch, sitting down as sooha casually eats her kimchi along with fried rice.

"so? did you ask him?" seeun asks, taking a portion of kimchi with her chopsticks and eating it.

sooha shakes her head but didnt dare to say anything. yoonseo was having trouble understanding so she just asks, "wait, so you didnt? what did you do? i saw you watching him!"

sooha's ears turn red as she shushes her before she leans forwards and quietly says, "i gave him my nameplate."

yoonseo's eyes widen as she stands up out of shock, her hand on sooha's shoulder, "what?!"

sooha hides her face in her hands as seeun ushers the girl to sit back down, when yoonseo did she lightly pushed sooha, "oh my god.. i cant believe it, you actually did it!"

sooha slowly nods her head, glancing to junhee who had the largest smile on his face since she knew him.

"how did he react?" seeun asks softly and sooha just points to him as she answers.

"like this.. he has this smile ever since he saw it and i heard him whisper victorious nothings to himself."

the girls laugh at that, happy that their best friend gets to be with their crush.

only for sooha to fall down the stairs at home and losing a few of her memories, one of them were asking kim junhee out.

tragic how the world works for the girl but kim junhee promised himself that this time he would be the one to ask her out, to confess his love to her.
