I sat on my bunk, thinking about what had just happened. I thought the other team was going to survive.

"May I sit?" A voice came from in front of me, Young-il. I look up at him and give a nod. "You did very well at Ddakji," He said sitting beside me. "You know I was never good at Ddakji, I practiced so hard with my friends but could never do it that well." My face shifts into a happier smile. I look down and see Gi-Hun, my father sitting. "Gi-Hun is your father, right? He asks to see me look down.

"Yes," I say, kind of brushing him off. "I don't remember him, this is the first time seeing him since I was young," I say, turning my body from him.

He scoots closer, pushing a strand from my face. "Fuck him," he says plainly. I cock my head towards him in shock. "If he didn't bother to be in your life, fuck him." he shrugs. I let out a laugh.

"You're weird," I say looking at him. "I saw the way you looked at him," I laughed, bumping into his arm.

"Well, you didn't see I was looking at you that way as well." He bumped back into me. I roll my eyes. "I like you better, Gi-hun is very...quick to decide. You think about it, I've seen you." He looks down explaining.

"So you're a stalker?" I laugh again

"No, I'm an observer." he quips back, looking up. I sat there staring at him for a moment, unsure of what to talk about. I Hadn't noticed I was just staring at his face until someone spoke behind us.

"Hey Y/n, Young-il they are going to start voting again." Dae-ho walks up the stairs towards us. He gives me a smirk, "Or are you busy with something else?"

"Yes, we're coming." I give him an annoyed glance, and he laughs and walks back down the stairs. We walk down the steps to where the others are sitting, I sit down next to Young-il trying to not be too close to my father.

"I'm sorry about earlier, everyone."  Young-il speaks, breaking the silence.

"Its okay, Everyone says in unison, Jung-Bae rubs his knee, I laugh. He side eyes me and we all begin talking, waiting for the voting to start. Soon the soldiers came in, announcing how many died and how much money was accumulated from them. Now it was time to vote, but some people still weren't satisfied with how many people died. They wanted more. more money.

We all look at one another, everyone in our group wanted to leave. I stayed quiet, I knew my decision as well. We all waited for our turn to became, this time Young-Il went first. He was the first to pick x. One after one it was my turn, I walked towards the podium. I looked back at my father, slapping the O button. Everyone who wanted to leave booed and muttered. Lastly 456, Gi-Hun, he picked x. It didn't matter, the majority voted to stay. Everyone clamored back to their little groups. We'd start the next game tomorrow.

I walked back to my bunk laying down.

"What the hell was that?" I heard the familiar voice, my father. He stood next to the bed, I sat up to face him.

"I'm staying." I said bluntly, looking at the annoyance on his face.

"We talked about it though--" He quipped

"No, you guys talked. I stayed quiet." I spoke back laying back down.

"You're an ungrateful brat. You have so much of you're life ahead of you!" He lectured. I rolled over ignoring his words. He stopped talking and i heard his footstep's fade, but then a new pair faded in. The person sat on the bed.

"You're father seems mad." Young-Il spoke, looking at me.

"So?" I replied, not looking at him, he just laughed.

I caught a glimpse of his smile, "I would've stayed but I wouldn't want to upset you're father." I turned on my back, patting the other side of the bunk bed. He laid down next to me, trying to keep an appropriate amount of space. "You really want to stay huh? This isn't just against you're father is it?" He turned his head, our eyes meeting.

"Yes, I want to play these game. Whoever created them is smart. Who ever is in charger up wherever they are, I admire them." I spoke, I kept my eyes fixed to the ceiling. Young-Il had a smirk appear on his face at my words. We talked for a while before eating our share of food, away from the others.

We al decided to have two people keep watch every hour, Gi-Hun was still worried we might be attacked in the night. Young-il slept next me on the ground, he had somewhat believed Gi-Hun words so he kept and eye on me.

We awoke to the sound of the music blaring, the next game would begin. We all had gotten up and followed the guards through the colorful corridors, making it to a carousel looking room, there were doors everywhere. It was very bright.

"The game you'll be playing is mingle, please step onto the center platform." The announcer said, repeating it once more. "You will hear a number be called out and you must form groups of that size. Once you have, go into one of the rooms and close the door. Fail to do so will result in elimination."

We walked onto the platform, I stuck close to Young-il.

"This game, we used to play things similar on field trips." Jung-Bae piped up. I smiled,

"This sounds kind of fun." I say looking at all the colored doors. Gi-Hun looks at me with a annoyed expression.

"This isn't a joke Y/n." He says a bit harshly. I quiet down waiting for the game to start.

"Let the game begin." The voice announced. With that the platform began spinning, music played.  After a little bit the platform came to a sudden halt, "Ten."

We turned to the group next to us, it had the old lady in it, we now had nine. Everyone on the platform scrambled around trying to find 10. 120 grabbed the one lady that had been muttering this whole time we've been here. We all rushed to a room. We shut the door right as the timer was counting down to one. We'd finished the first round. Gunshots sounded and echoed through the room, I jumped a bit at the echo. This game eliminated a lot of people already, my nerves shot a bit. I looked at my father and then young-il, I shouldn't have picked to stay. We might actually die in this game.
