ch 19 luna pov i knew i had to get the baby across first, and then go and get yoona. i jumped on the bridge, jumping over the rope. after jumping over the gamp, my whole body started to feel... tired. my heart was beating. i couldn't break my promise now. but then, i ran to the other side while avoiding the rope. the baby was safe. i saw yura, the girl we rejected before, follow me on to the bridge. she jumped over, moves precise, and managed to get through. yura pov i knew that luna and i could split the prize money together. oh wait, maybe i can push players off of the platform to increase the prize money! oh, how fabulous of an idea! and so i started. i saw a player that was about to finish and then i landed a kick on him. he fell down, screaming. i then saw the same player who k!ll3d that player 400. he went on the finish platform before i used my bare hands to push him down too. but them next person in line was none other than player 353. he pleaded for his life as he jumped over the rope, standing there. my plan had come to a halt. suddenly, even luna was staring at me like i had commited a horrible cr!m3. she confronted me, "why are you doing that?" i smirked and answered, "i'm playing the game. if those players all d!3, we can all split the money and we win together!" vip jiyeon pov i watched with the other vips: lea, ena, jiwon, and star as players get knocked off the rope one by one. player 209, eliminated. i laughed as "player 163, eliminated" was announced. that stupid girl didn't even try to jump over! everyone else laughed alongside me while i drank my water. (had to censor the nono word lol) yuzu pov i knew that continuing on the rope was too risky. as i jumped and jumped, i had a plan. come back to the start and then finish later. i jumped and jumped, until i turned around to see another player, player 377. player 377 asked, "what do you want?" i shouted, "move! i'm trying to go back to the start." but as he turned around, the rope suddenly hit him and he fell too. i had accidentally k!ll3d someone. and so i jumped back to the start. player 203 asked, "hey! are you okay?" i nodded. but suddenly, he brought his leg up and within seconds, i screamed. i was falling to the void too, just like the last player. luna pov that's it. i couldn't witness any of this suffering from these players anymore. and so i cornered yura, on the bridge. she cornered me but i escaped her grip and pushed her on. before long, she was the one being pushed down the bridge. wonjin pov i had taken the last p!ll from the necklace. everything felt like it had been a success. i ran to the rope, and i jumped, with a smile and as high as possible, over the gap and ran to the finish. chae pov yoona... i have to save her... i approached her, just sitting there. i knew she wouldn't want me anymore, especaillyy because of what i had done to her friend elena. "hey, yoona. i can carry you across the rope." i said to her. but she looked uninterested and stared. tears started forming out of her eyes. she shook her head, "i don't trust you anymore. don't even try to carry me across this bridge, you little-" and so i went on the bridge, alone. a player was handing onto the gap, fighting for his life. he begged, "please, help me." but i couldn't. i had to focus on making it through the bridge. the player screamed as he fell. but i sighed in relief as i made it. but i was still worried about yoona...
ch 20 yoona pov shuyu and i sat on the bench, watching as time went by. bea was also still at the start. she said, "shuyu, let's go. let's get past the bridge. i'll carry you." shuyu protested, "no, carry her instead!" she pointed at me. i was in disbelief. even chae, waiting at the finish, was shocked. bea confronted her, "no, try again. save your own life." but shuyu didn't back down. "i have nothing to live for. but yoona over there has her baby. you know, i came here because i had nothing left. i'd rather you and yoona survive together. your mom would be proud..." finally, bea sobbed. she asked for my hand, and i got on her back. we were on the rope bridge together. we barely jumped over the gap, almost falling. but we jumped and finally, with one minute and twenty seconds left, we had made it. i got to see my baby again, alive. but shuyu... i knew she wasn't going to survive... she had sacrificed her life for my own... but luna stood at the edge of the bridge. "shuyu! i'll come help you!" shuyu protested, "you can't come back now! if you do, yoona's baby might not be safe anymore! you said to yoona that your biggest promise was to protect her little girl!" she stepped one step closer to the edge of the platform. she pleaded with luna, "please, take care of yoona, bea, and the baby. and bea choi, thank you for playing with me..." before she stepped into the void, falling to her d3@th. wang shuyu... she was the one to save my life... she was the one who saved my baby girl... but in my heart, i knew i didn't deserve it and she deserved to survive over me instead. before long we were out in the dorms again. bea was sitting next to me now... i knew it should've been shuyu sitting here instead of me... it was her heart that allowed me to still be alive. i took my baby from luna. bea pov shuyu... SHUYU... no... i can't accept it. she had sacrificed everything for a girl, and her newborn. i never knew i was going to sit next to the girl and her newborn. "hey..." i finally spoke. "your name's yoona, right? can i hold your baby please?" yoona nodded. she handed the newborn to me carefully before the newborn girl was in my hands. i looked at her... maybe i should've trusted people more... i thought as i took care of the girl. i looked back at yoona, with a sense of trust in my gut. shuyu wasn't wrong about her... i knew i could trust her just as much as i trusted my only friend i had made from these games... i just wish that i could close her eyes, just like yoona did with her friend when she d!3d... author's note... i cried... again... this is way too sad T_T
