ch 21 pov yoona we were all changed into black suits that had our number on it. well, except for my little girl of course, since a suit won't fit on her. she was only two days old... a table with candles glowing near each of the nine plates was now there, set up for us. and there were nine chairs also for each of us. i looked at the finalists... luna, player 456... the one who had protected my baby in the last game, jump rope. one of the only two i actually trust in this room. she stepped up before pressing the x button immediately. player 353, player 336, player 203 and player 039 were just useless o players to me... they were the ones who supported that one old man when he was shouting for one more game. i'm just glad shuyu k!ll3d that old man... they all pressed o on their respective turns. chae, player 333... i didn't trust her anymore especially after k!lling elena... i always had a bad feeling about her in these games... i knew it. she stepped up and looked at me before pressing the o button again. she knew i didn't care about her anymore, especially after rejecting her in jump rope... it was my turn... i walked up to the voting buttons and my mind knew that i had to leave right now. i pressed the x button without hesitation. wonjin, player 125. i never really knew her that well but i knew she was a good person. she was the one who managed to get rid of that one psycho that chae was allying with in hide & seek... she stepped up and switched her vote to x. and finally, bea, player 067. i've never trusted her until now... she was mysterious, and i have only seen her staring at me at times. i've only talked with her because of shuyu. but she was the one who saved my life... and she carried me in jump rope. she was the other one i trusted to be on my side. she walked up and immediately hit the x button. we sat around the table. suddenly, one of the os cheered, "we've all made it this far! let's have one more cheers before we go to the final game." i didn't hold up my glass. i knew these os would do this nonsense, especially in a death game like this. even chae held up her glass. our dinner of steak was then served. i turned back. my baby... she was getting fed by the circle guard. i looked at luna and bea, also refusing to eat before the baby does. i looked back. chae was eating her steak already... what a greedy psycho... i knew she was trouble... finally, my girl was all fed. i took the first bite of my food before i looked to the left, where bea was sitting. she was barely even touching her food... just sitting there, thinking about something... then i remembered... mi-cha... she had told me to eat eggs and even gave hers to me when i still was pregnant... she would have told bea to eat too... and so i spoke to her, "bea... why aren't you eating?" bea sighed, face serious, "it's...shuyu. she's d3... i can't stop thinking about her... but don't worry about me." i turned back and ate, but suddenly, i saw something. elena? mi-cha? shuyu? where did they come from? elena smiled. "we're very proud of you, yoona, for making it this far." shuyu frowned. "please, yoona... you and bea should survive together... remember me." mi-cha was also frowning, with a worried expression. "you see your friend bea over there...? s-she's not eating at all. tell her she needs to eat before the grand finale tommorow." and suddenly, all three of them disappeared into thin air. i looked back at bea, remembering mi-cha's words. "bea... you need to eat. you know, we have to survive this mess together." bea shook her head... she was still crying, because of shuyu... i watched as she sat there, head down. finally, she took her knife, and took a bite of the steak. she had finally ate a part of her food... mi-cha... i knew she'd be proud of me. but still... how did the three of them just appear out of nowhere... was my mind just h...? if that was the case... i knew it would happen... i've always been thinking about the three ever since their respective de.
ch 22 luna pov we had finished our dinner and all nine of us sat on our respective beds. i looked at yoona, her baby in her hand. the guard announced, "congratulations on making it to the final 10. the next game will require you to k!ll three players." ten? i thought that there were only nine finalists? i looked around. one of the o finalists complained, "ten? i only counted nine players!" the rest of the os agreed. the guard announced, "these are the remaining ten players. player 039, player 067, player 125, player 203, player 222, player 222, player 333, player 336, player 353, and player 456." the baby? it had become a PLAYER? the guards could not do this! she didn't even sign the consent form! aren't they... breaking their own rules? another o finalist retorted, "why are there two player 222s? i thought there was only that pregnant lady who was carried by 067!" the guard pointed. "player 222 is right there." the baby? i knew it... i already thought the guards were ruthless enough but this was too far. the o finalists said in unison, "who is in favor of k!ll!ing player 222 and her baby." all of the os raised their hand, including chae. what? why would her own other mother do this to her? a guard then announced, "player 456, please come with me." why? was i finally going to d!3? am i finally going to see cat in heaven again? i followed the guard as he led me in to the front woman's office. the front woman took off her mask. ivy? i knew something was sketchy about her... with her number being 001, just like last time, when the creator of the games, oh il nam, participated. but i had trusted her... i had made the wrong choice. i shouldn't have let her in to my group. finally i spoke, "ivy?" ivy responded, "yeah...it's me. and i'm here to give you a proposition for you to win the games with that yoona girl, her baby, and her savior, player 067." what? why was SHE allowing me to win? i thought she was here to k!ll me. she handed me a kn!f3... and reluctantly, i just took it away and left the office. i came back to the dorm area, with all the finalists sleeping soundly other than bea... i laid my kn!f3 at one of the os, player 203. just as i readied my knife, i heard something. i looked back. it was bea... she looked at me, with a frowning expression on her face. she warned me, "don't do it. you're not that kind of person." she was right. i was not the type of person to k!ll someone who has never wronged me... i shouldn't have k!ll3d koh in hide and seek... and neither should i k!ll these os. i laid on my bed, with bea on the bed next to me. we looked at each other, a gleam of trust hinting in her eyes. for once, she let out a faint smile. "hey... we should protect yoona and her baby together from those os." i nodded before i closed my eyes and drifted into sleep. guys elena, mi-cha and shuyu are alive trust /j - chanelle lol
