"𝐑eum!" Moo-Jin called out as he entered his apartment, He chuckled as he shut the door behind him before walking into the living room where he expected to see Ah-reum on the couch feet up as she watched some show but she wasn't there.

When Moo-Jin didn't see her he furrowed his brows in confusion, "Reum?" He called out again but the apartment was silent. Moo-Jin sighed as he threw his coat on the couch as he quickly grabbed his phone out his coat pocket to call her.

He called twelve times.

They all went straight to voicemail.

Moo-Jin slightly started to get worried at that, "Ah-reum this isn't funny, answer the phone" Moo-Jin mumbled to himself as he spammed her phone with texts.

After fifteen minutes of spamming her phone Moo-Jin sighed as he ran a hand through his hair as he walked to the kitchen but practically froze when he saw a stack of money with a note beside it.

"The hell?" He mumbled as he stalked towards it not even sparring the money a second glance as he picked the note up: Hope this can repay all the shit you put up with since I practically moved in, i'll be back soon.

Moo-Jin just groaned at the note as he sighed, "Reum what the hell did you do?" He mumbled to himself in frustration as he glanced at the money before shaking his head as he quickly grabbed his coat off the couch but when he did, there sitting under it was a card.

𝐓he moment Ah-reum woke up hearing a soft repetitive melody she regretted even meeting the man in the suit. The first sense she got when she woke was hearing, She heard soft faint music, but over time it turned to people talking, hundreds of people talking.

Her next sense was smell, She smelt metallic, medal, cleaning products, and people. Metallic and Medal confused her, why was she smelling that?

Then it was touch, She felt herself lying down on some type of bed, not a comfortable one but she could tell it was a bed. Then her last one was sight.

Ah-reum's eyes fluttered open as she tried to look around but quickly shut her eyes back, her eyes stung and her vision was blurry. After rubbing her eyes she quickly sat up, as she looked around her she saw hundreds of people in bunk beds just like her. But as she looked around she noticed, everyone's wearing the same thing.

With her brows furrowed she looked down at herself, She had a blue-greenish tracksuit with the number 𝟎𝟐𝟕. Where the hell was she?

Her thoughts were quickly interrupted as she slightly jumped when there was a loud sharp metallic sound as the music shut off, following by a loud scrapes of medal doors opening as everyone in the room went semi quiet. Curiously she slid off the bunk beds, as she walked into the crowd of people filling in the main open floor as more was still coming as well.

When she looked up she saw the same three men that were in masks in the black van as they were pink suits but they had symbols on there masks: Triangle, Square and Circle. The same ones on the card that the man in the suite gave her. Did she join some type of cult?

"Id like to send a hearty welcome to you all" The man in the square mask spoke, his tone sent chills through her as it was disturbingly calm as if they were at some kind of normal event. "Each of you will participate in six different games over the course of six days, those who win all six games will be rewarded with a handsome cash prize" The man continued and Ah-reum slightly chuckled. Now we're talking.

"Excuse me!" A man spoke up making almost everyone, no everyone did turn to look at the man. "You'd say we'd be playing games but you practically kidnapped us, how am i supposed to believe anything you say!?" He asked voice laced with annoyance and frustration.

"I apologize for the confusion please understand these measures were necessary to secure the security of the game" The man in the squat mask spoke oddly calm. This made a women in the crowd scoff, "What about the masks? is your face a secret too?" She asked and the man beside her nodded in agreement "Yeah, why are you hiding behind that thing is this some kind of illegal gambling thing!?" he spoke making Ah-reum slightly snort. People's frustration was so funny to her.

Everyone started speaking up on the situation voicing their opinions as Ah-reum watched from the side as she leant against a bunk bed in an amusement.

"To ensure fair gameplay and confidentiality, it is our police not to disclose the identity's of staff. please understand" The man in the square mask spoke again.

Suddenly a girl in the front raised her hand catching Ah-reum's attention, "Did you take off my clothes and put this on me?" She asked making Ah-reum's face scrunch. she never actually thought about how she got into the clothes she was in now. and from the looks of it there was no female staff, so men changed her. ew.

Then a man spoke, he had purple hair and stood out from everyone. Ah-reum thought he looked...iconic? She looked and saw his number was 𝟐𝟑𝟎. I'll keep that in mind, "And what's the deal with these shoes? Mine were limited addition, you can't just swipe them out! There hard to find, are you gonna replace them when they get ruined?" He asked and Ah-reum just shook her head with a smirk still in amusement.

she fount it amusing how people were more worried about their belongings and things more then how they got here, being basically kidnapped and shoved in a car in the middle of who knows where. That's one of the reason she never took people or life seriously. anymore at least. she learnt if people don't care about themselves how can they care about anyone else?

"These don't fit and the colors terrible. Can i just have what your wearing instead, i like pink" The girl from before 230 whined. "I'm sorry that's not possible, You must wear the uniforms for the games" The square masked man spoke his tone sharp leaving no debate.

Then another man raised his hand as he walked to the front of the crowd, "and what about my phone? why did you take my phone and my wallet? Give them back please" The man said his voice held urgency and a hint of irritation, 𝟑𝟑𝟑.

"Your keeping your belongings safe, you'll get them back once the games are over" The square man spoke again. "I need to monitor the real-time prices! do you have any idea how much I invested in?" 333 asked his voice growing desperate as suddenly the big screen in front of the room made people look up to see 333 on the screen playing ddakji and getting slapped multiple times.

"Player 333, Lee Myung-gi. Age thirty, former owner of a Youtube called MG coin. After convincing subscribers to invest in a cryptocurrency called Dalmatian, Which led to losses of 15.2 billion won you shut down the channel and vanished . Your wanted for fraud and violating telecom and financial investment laws. Current debt: 1.8 billion won" The man in the square masked exposed making Ah-reum giggle as she watched as he continued from player to player.

She shortly realized he only went after people with debt, One player even reached 10 billion wan which made everyone whisper and stare at him, "What the hell are you looking at!? you think it's easy to get a 10 billion won loan, they don't give that kind of money to just anyone, only people who can pay it back!" He yelled making Ah-reum cover her mouth as she giggled until she heard her number making her smile drop quickly.

"Player 027, Song Ah-reum. Age sixteen, Currently Homeless with nowhere to go and running from police and foster care after your father was murdered, your wanted for questioning and potential murder" He rambled as everyone turned and looked at her in shock as people gasped when they heard her age and condition making her sigh as she flipped everyone off.

"All of you in this room have Crippling debts or are barely making it and are at the edge of a cliff. When we first came to you, you didn't trust us. But as you know we played the game and gave you the money as promised and so you trusted us and volunteered to participate on your free will. Now you have one chance to decide. Do you want to keep living like a piece of trash and running, or will you seize the opportunity we are offering?"

"After each game you'll have the opportunity to vote on whether or not to continue. if the majority votes to stop, you can leave with the prize money accumulated up to that point"
  

   𝐅ast forward they had to sign a contract on the rules and conditions simply;

1. A PLAYER IS NOT ALLOWED TO VOLUNTARILY QUIET THE GAMES

2. A PLAYER WHO REFUSES TO PLAY WILL BE ELIMINATED

3. THE GAMES WILL BE TERMINATED UPON A MAJORITY VOTE

4. IN CASE OF A TIE PLAYERS WILL VOTE AGAIN.

Ah-reum thought the dulles were simple, and straight forward easy things to remember, and as she signed the paper she was quickly rushed into a line with the rest of the players who were done as she got into line as the lines walked into what looked like a huge maze to Ah-reum. now she wasn't that bright since she was home schooled until like the second grade and then...education was out the window.

The walls were a burst of Pink, yellow, green and blue the bright colors startling her eyes as she hide to blink to adjust as she followed the line as she looked around. As you walked or looked up your could see stairs that could lead anywhere. there were stairs and doors everywhere.

soon she fount herself standing infront of a narrow wall with a camera as she looked at it, "smile!" the robotics camera spoke and instead she simply stared straight forward as a click! was heard indicating the picture was taken as she walked away into the line of people up the thousands of stairs.

         𝐓he players were divided into three groups as they were lead into...hallways? tunnels? same thing. and they were again pink, the whole thing just looked like a maze. you could think you know where your going until it looks like you just went that way, everything was the same. and it didn't matter how much you looked over everything it still left you confused.

As Ah-reum she felt someone step on the back of her shoe making her stumble as she let out a small curse as she looked to see who the culprit was as she turned to see a man, again way older than her. but then again, everyone here was. "I-I'm so sorry" He stuttered making her slightly tilted her head at him. He seemed quiet, nervous, scared even and let alone had a back bone. he seemed...too nice for his own good. what was someone like him doing here?

Ah-reum glanced at his number tag as it was 𝟏𝟐𝟓. Ah-reum simply nodded as she looked at him, they were around the same height so it wasn't hard for her to look at his eyes that it was obvious he was avoiding hers. "It's fine" She said simply before turning and continuing to walk.

When she and the rest of the players first stepped out of the bluish-green doors it was like walking into another universe, It was currently October but the space they were in was stretched like a outside a arena in the spring time as it looked as if it could be May, it was bright colorful and outdoorsy.

Everyone scoffed and some where silent as the realized the games they were playing were simple children games, They took in the giant doll at the far end, as its unblinking eyes were quiet creepy. The silence was interrupted though as 𝟐𝟑𝟎 desperately tried to flirt with 𝟏𝟗𝟔.

"The first game is Red light Green light, You may move forward when the tagged calls 'Green light' but if your movement is detected after 'Red light' you will be eliminated. Cross the finish line with in five minutes with out being caught, if you succeeded you past this round" The robotic voice spoke and Ah-reum nodded. she can do this.

All the players nodded as the game seemed pretty easy when suddenly a man ran infront of the crowd, "Everyone listen up! this is not just a game!" He yelled as everyone looked at him.

"If you lose this game you will die!" He spoke making Ah-reum scoffed, is he on drugs? "Hey what are you talking about? we're gonna die playing red light green light?" A women asked in disbelief.

"Yes that right! if they catch you moving you will die, they will shoot you from somewhere!" He yelled and Ab-reum scoffed as she looked at his number, 𝟒𝟓𝟔.

She was going to ask him what did he have and maybe if he could share because obviously whatever he was on was working.

"If you get caught you die! the doll eyes are motion detectors, stay on your toes!" The 456 yelled. "What the hell are you talking about? I think he's trying to scare us so he can grab the prize money" A man yelled.

"You don't believe me!?" 456 yelled in disbelief when sudden the doll turned as she put her hands on the tree indicating the game was going to start. Ah-reum sighed as she walked in over to the starting line disregarding anything 456 said. she just wanted to get the prize money and leave.

"Do not be alarmed! No matter what happens do not panic and start running!" 456 yelled and Ah-reum just hummed not really caring "Fucking lunatic" She heard someone mumble behind her making her turn and look up to see 333, Myung-gi the youtube fraud that got called out.

Ah-reum just chuckled as she turned straight keeping her eyes forward. "Let the games begin" The robotic doll voice said before the doll began singing. the crowd all hesitated not knowing to start before they all just started jogging forward.

Ah-reum jogged as she kept her head held high as she made sure every step her foot hit on the ground that it was firm and flat. as suddenly the doll stopped singing making Ah-ream stop moving as she held her place. "Freeze!" 456 yelled as the doll turned around searching for movers. Ah-reum looked around awkwardly as she stayed still before 'Green light' was heard again as she started jogging again.

The doll stopped singing again as everyone froze when suddenly a bee landed on 𝟏𝟗𝟔. The girl screamed as she trailed her arms wildly to get rid of it as everyone's eyes were now on her as she was indeed moving. and a lot.

196 calmed down once the bee flew away as she face 230 who Ah-reum learnt called himself Thanos. "Crap" The girl said sarcastically with a smile, "I just moved" She said when suddenly there was a loud bang echoed through the tense quiet air making Ah-reum fight a flinch back. 196 fell forward blood oozing from the whole of her forehead.
