NEXT PART..

MASTERLIST

The debt was passed to you when eventually one of your only remaining family members were missing.

It was always because that family member always had to go to loan sharks, to get money, and to use for what? The common answer: Gambling.

The debt that was passed to you was... 320 million won.

Your dad, when he was alive.. you were inspired by him, after all, he was in the ROK Airforce before.

You wanted to be like him, but he didnt want that for you, you were his precious jewel.

"Pa! I wanna be like you when i grow up! All strong!" Younger you said as you flexed your tiny arms, flashing a big grin. Your father chuckles as he puts a hand in your head and starts patting you, messing up your dolled up hair.

"Now now kiddo, Being one of us is really difficult, i dont want my sweetie to be hurt." He says, kneeling down to face you as you pouted.

"Nuh uh! Im still going to become an air enforcer like you!" You said as you crossed your arms.

"Im warning you kiddo." He stops kneeling down.

Well, that dream never came true.

Sitting in one of the benches, it was dark. Now why would a woman stand in the dark all by herself? Isnt that dangerous?

Not at all for you- okay that was cringe.

You fought for yourself always, learning to survive and such.

"Need to go home now.." you sigh, standing up from the bench and fixing your jacket, putting your hands in the pocket, whew it sure is chilly.

"Now now... whats a pretty girl like you doing all alone in the dark?" A creep asks, you could tell it wants something for you, so you kept walking, fastening your steps even more.

"He-Hey! I was talking to you! Come back here!" The creep yelled out.

"Get the fuck away from me." You said, the man finally quiet down and just stood there, watching you walk, and dissapear in the distance.

Finally, arrived to your home... or small apartment, you searched for the keys in one of the pockets you put your hands on, now holding onto the small key, you took it out of your pockets and opened the door.

DAY 2.

You went into the subway for absoulutely no reason at all, going down the stairs on the subway station's tunnel entrance, now sitting in one of the chairs to relax,you saw a... man in a suit, smiling weirdly with a briefcase approaching you, Guess he was a scammer?

The man smiles at you and sits beside you at the bench.

"Hello maam, may i talk to you?" He says, looking at you strangely.

You ignore him and just look at the ground of the subway station.

"Would you like to play a game with me?" He says, looking at you, eugh that stare kinda creeps you out(ik some of yall be simping)

"Eh... who even are you to begin with? Some kind of buisness man exactly?" You say, looking at the man.

You find him, his suitcase opened, finding a red and blue folded paper, along with... won.

He holds out both of the folded paper, and asks. "So, which color do you want to play as?" He says.

"...Blue." You say.

A FEW ROUNDS LATER.

He had explained the round, basically, the two of his slaps were decreasing of the 100k won, but instead, we pay with our... body? That sounds like prostitution but its done anyways.

He looks at you as you stood silent, looking at the man.

"Here's your won." The man says, the man's slap still aching.

"You can make money after playing game's like this do you know that miss?" He says, as you held the money.

"Would you like to try it out?" He said, the hint of mischieoveness achived in his voice.

You thinked, looked at the man. "Huh? Are you trying to fool me sir?" You say monotonely.

"Miss [Reader]." He said as he stood up. You went quiet as you looked at him, how did he know your name?

After that, he said everything, every information you had, school, work- whatever else, even your fathers name.

"As now, one of your family members passed a debt to you about.. 230 million won due to loan sharks."

"Wha- what are you..?" You said, looking at him terrified.

He pulls out a card from his coat pocket, holding it out to show to you.

"We have many spots left." He says, you took the card fastly from his hand, basically snatching it.

"Give me a call." He says as he walked away, you were left there, standing.

DAY 3.

You wake up, in a strange place. Looking around, you held your head as you sighed. Rubbing your temples.

"Fucking hell... my head hurts. You sat up, and took off the duvet that was covering you. Realizing that you had new clothes, you decided to unzip the zipper of the greenish blue jacket, you saw that something was written on your shirt.

238.

"What the... fuck." You stood up and went to the center, as someone accidentally bumped into you.

"Hey-! Watch where your going!" You say, the music that was coming from the speakers finally stopped as the man spoke to you "You watch ou- oh.. i apologize miss."

"Yeah, you better." You said, looking at the man.

You observed the man as you saw that he had a hair length that was reaching his neck a little bit, he had a strong jawline, and a part of his hair was tied to the back, he kinda looked cute whatsoever, but you didnt pay mind to that.

You looked at his jumper, the jumper has a number.. '388.'

The front door opened as three men with masks, the middle one has a square mask, the other two? Both circle.

"Thats strange, this isnt a costume party at all." You say, hand on your waist.

The man was still beside's you, you didnt notice him looking at you, and then he looked back at the guards.

Murmur's filled the room, as you stayed silent, the man beside you tried talking to you.

"Real- ehem, real strange for sure." Yet you still ignored him.

TIME SKIP OF THE SQUARE TALKING.

"Excuse me." A voice said from afar, you turned around to see, it appears to be a transgender woman, you respected her of course. She stepped down some few steps and said..

"You said i'd be playing games, but you practically kidnapped me." She said, looking at the guard.

"I apologize." The man in the square soldier says. "Please understand it was necessary to maintain the game's security."

"... I agree, we didnt consent to this at all." You spoke out, looking at the guards as people leaned their head torwards you.

"So how can we believe that?" She says.

"Whats with the mask then? Is your face also a secret?" A random female says.

"Yeah! Why are you hiding your face? Is this some kind of illegal gambling house?" A random man says.

"Even the dealers dont cover their faces in those place's!" The random woman says.

Murmur's build up as i listened to some of them.

"To ensure fair gameplay and confilentiality, it is our policy not to reveal the face's and identities of staff please understand." The square says.

"... i dont really give a shit about all this talking.. except taking us to some- some place else." i sigh, crossing my arms.

A diva- i mean a girl holds out the jacket given and holds it up. "Did you take off my clothes and put these on me?" The girl says.

"My shoes are limited fucking edition." A forked up- i mean a purple haired guy says, rotating the shoes. "They're hard to find, you goin' to replace em if they get" RUINED?!"

"These dont fit and the color sucks... can i just have what your wearing instead? I like pink" the girl says.

I sigh, looking at the girl from afar, hands now in my pocket's.

TIME SKIP WHEN THEY ANNOUNCE THE PPL W/ DEBTS CUS IM LAZY..

(sorry chat)

"Hah, a crypto scammer in this game...? Noted." I say as i scoff, after hearing the mans words.

"Player 333, llee myung-gi." As the square presses something, the tv that was placed up the screen showed something, the ddakji game..!

"Age 30, Used to run a Youtube channel called MG coin. After Convincing subscribers to invest in a new crypto coin called dalmatian, causing losses of approximately 15.2 billion won. You shut down and dissapeared. Your wanted for fraud, and for violating telecom,and financial investment laws. Current debt level, 1.8 billion won."

"Player 196, Kang Mi-na, 45 million won in debt."

"Player 120, Cho hyun-ju, 330 million won in debt."

"Player 238, [READER FULL NAME]. 230 million won in debt."

'What a fucker..' i stay silent looking at the side.

"Player 230, Choi Su-bong 1.19 billion won in debt."

"Player 198, Jang do-yeong 1.4 billion won in debt."

"Player 226, Kim Yeong-san 1.9 billion won in debt."

"Player 444, Kim Nam-du, 2.02 billion won in debt"

"Player 343, Sim Jae-Seok 2.89 billion won in debt."

"Player 006, Park Mi-hwa, 3.1 billion won in debt."

"Player 283, Lee Eun-jun, 4.02 billion won in debt."

"Player 100, Im Jeong-dae, ten billion won in debt."

"One more game!" The screen's speakers yell out.

"What a greedy old grandpa, huh?" You tried talking to the taller man beside you.

"Uhuh.. totally.. haha.." he says, scratching his nape.

"Who is that? Who is he?" Some people say.

"WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT!?" it yells out. "DO YOU THINK- BLAH BLAH BLAH blah blah..."

'Yeah we dont really care whatsoever.' You rolled your eyes, murmurs still surrounding him.

"All of you in this room, Have crippling debts, and now on a cliff-edge. When we first came to you, you did not trust us either. But as you know, we played a game, and gave you money as promised, And so you trusted us and volunteered to participate according to your own free will. You have one last chance to decide, Do you want to live in a piece of trash running for creditors? Or will you seize the last opportunity we are offering?" The square finishes.

I listened carefully (finally) to its words, processing all of it inside my head.

The light's suddenly darken- and now there was a golden glow emitting from above.

"Is heaven taking- woaah... never mind i guess." I look up and above, a piggy bank, not just any ordinary piggy bank, a fucking. Huge. One.

The music that appeared fastened up when the piggy bank was going down.

"Whoa, thats huge yanno'..?" The man beside's you says.

"What you see now, is the piggy bank where your valuable prize money will be stored. After each of the six games you will play, the prizs money will be accumalated in this piggy bank." The square says.

A mama's boy- i mean a man speaks up and asks "how much is the prize money?"

The square answers the man's question. "The prize money for the game is 45.6 billion won in total."

Shocked gasps and sounds build up.

"45.6 billion... won..." i say, my eyes blinking "thats insane."

"And one of us will get it?" The man asks.

"We will give you the detail's about the distribution of the price money after the first game. For these games, you will be given a special new advantage." The square says.

"What is it?" The old bit- i mean man says.

"After each game, you will be given a chance to vote on whether to continue the game or not. If the majority votes to stop the games, you can leave with the prize money accumalated up to that point." The square says.

"Are you saying.." a man says from behind,not in the crowd, but in the sides of the bed- whatever its called

"We'll receive the money after we leave the first game?"

Triumphant trumpets thundered from the speakers in perfect symphony. Classical music was never Mi-na’s forte. If it were her choice, she’d rather wake up to the latest Pop or Hip-Hop hits. But nooo, this sadistic murder play was run by old people.

Buzzzzz!

‘Attention please, the second game will begin momentarily. Please follow the instructions from our staff.’

Mi-na remained snuggled up in her bunk, savoring the warmth contained in the blankets. Maybe no one would notice.

“Wakey, wakey Señorita!” Thanos purred, nudging the mattress.

Mi-na whined, rolling onto her stomach and burying her head under the pillow.

Thanos nudged the mattress again. “C'monn, it’s time to play the game.”

“I’m not in the mood to die right now.” she groused, hardly awake.

“Nah, you won’t die. You got the great Thanos to protect you.” He reassured her with utmost confidence in himself.

Thanos lifted a portion of the pillow, peeking underneath. Mi-na shifted, holding his gaze for a moment. There was a vibrant teal to his eyes, Mi-na noticed, that surrounded his dilated pupils. Without a doubt the man probably wore contacts, and even more so he would deny it.

“Cmon, girl. You can’t ignore me forever.” Thanos drew even closer, tilting his head just enough to rattle her. Does he really think he can just smirk like that and get whatever he wants?

Mi-na eventually caved in, finally slipping out of bed.

“Unbelievable.”

Mi-na trotted to join the crowd, refusing to acknowledge Thanos’ moment of triumph.

“Let’s go!” He spurred, barreling after her because he just HAD to be by her side.

Up the stairs they went, up the geometric labyrinth with pastel colors. Of course, she wasn’t going to wake up looking like a mess so Mi-na put up her ponytail, tightening it just enough to feel the tension in her scalp.

Thanos trailed behind, matching her steps while simultaneously checking her out. Respectfully.

Fortunately, the remaining players didn’t have to go up as many stairs, but there were still just enough flights to have Mi-na’s legs sore by the end of it.

A large sliding door unveiled from the arena before the living. It looked to be an old elementary school yard, boxed in by watercolors walls and painted clouds. Right on the ground were two large rainbows that formed symmetrical circles. Flags of countries from all around the world hung above them.

At that moment, it was as though a fragment of her childhood was placed here. The rainbow tracks reminded her of the school festivals Mi-na would take part in. Or in her case, watching everyone else play while she laughed at the runts.

‘Welcome to your second game. This game will be played in teams, please divide into teams of five within the next ten minutes.’

Instinctively she turned to Thanos, he was the only person she knew after all. She didn’t want to seem desperate though, not in a place that seemed to feed off desperation.

“Señorita,” Thanos chimed, as if on cue. He gestured to the two of them “You and me?”

“You want me to team up with you?” Mi-na asked, as if unable to comprehend the offer.

“Of course.” He flicked his hand. “We’d be unstoppable together, you and me. We got mad power between us, can’t you feel it? .” He wiggles his fingers, nodding his head to an imaginative beat.

Yeah, he’s definitely on drugs.

As weird as he was, the man was beyond entertaining. She parted her lips, pretending to contemplate before giving him a toothy grin

“Alright, Why not?”

“That’s what I’m talkin about, my girl!”

Thanos then cupped his hands and called out from the sea of people.

“NAM-SUUU!!!!!”

Why worry about tomorrow when the present was far more appealing?

Entrapped in a chamber of nostalgia, Kang Mi-na’s fate was now in the hands of some lousy boys she basically just met.

Now, to decide what to play. Her first thought was to go for the easiest game. But what was the easiest?

Gyeong-su, who never flipped a lip unless someone talked to him first, took initiative.

“I’m good at ddakji.” He said. “Lots of girls play gong-gi, right? Do you wanna take gong-gi, Mi-na?” He brightened, hoping to bring some faith to the more.. doubtful members of the group.

“You’re funny.” Mi-na laughed, finding the shine of her nail polish more compelling.

Gyeong-su chuckled, uncertain whether her comment was sarcastic.

“I don’t like gong-gi, sweetie.” Mi-na clarified, “Flying stone’s much more my style.”

That was it. That was what she wanted to play.

“Could.. Could I do gong-gi?”

The group paused. Even Mi-na halted her primping. Min-su offered to play gong-gi, a feminine game. Brittle as Min-su was, it was still unexpected.

“Who the hell taught you to play gong-gi?” Nam-gyu hissed, but he wanted to know just as much as the rest of them.

Min-su tensed, as if ashamed.

“My mom,” he said, an answer as cute as can be.

“Min-su, the mama’s boy.” Mi-na sang in delight. “I should have known.”

Min-su lowered his head, red creeping up on his ears.

“C’mon, I'm only messing with you. If you want to play gong-gi, do it. You’re taking over for me, so like-who cares?” She nudged his shoulder—the most physical touch she was willing to give.

Min-su loosened up and swallowed, uttering what sounded like a ‘thank you’ to her.

“You done?” Nam-gyu opened his big mouth.

“Yup. You’ve got either Spinning top or Jegi.” Mi-na laid it out for him, plain and simple.

“Spinning top,” he decided. “You alright doing Jegi?” he asked Thanos.

Thanos was out of it, mouthing words to songs. After Nam-gyu tugged on his sleeve, Thanos stumbled out of his daze and bobbed his head. Jegi was fine.

They settled it quickly and with little debate.

It would be a bit before Mi-na’s team had to go. So it was up to the guinea pigs to lead the charge.

Team One and Two assembled at the tracks; Team One on the right track, and Team Two on the left. Each team lined up in the order they’d play. Braces bound their ankles together, just like in an actual six-legged race.

With grand confidence from Team One, and visible reluctance from Team Two, the second game was ready to begin.

‘Starting in three..’

‘Two.’

“LETS GET ITTTT, WOOO!!”

‘One!’

With a crackle of a gun, the two teams sprung into action. Each group marched down the track in perfect sync. For Team One, Ddakji was completed first try, but Flying stone was a trial. The stone was just thrown a little too far from the target.

Much to Mi-na’s dismay, the guard at the second post had no extra stone. So they had to fetch the stone themselves. One failed attempt sucked plenty of time from the clock; this team had several.

Team one grew increasingly agitated by the second, cussing out fellow team member Player 198 with red faces. As intense as the game was, it was entertaining to see such tough men fumble over a children’s game.

To avoid that from happening, all Mi-na needed to do on her turn was knock down the stone first try and hope the others didn’t fuck up.

No pressure.

When it became obvious Team One wasn’t going anywhere, Mi-na took her people-watching to the left ring. Team Two made it a lot farther, impressive with how much time had passed. Mi-na spotted them completing gong-gi, celebrating and hugging the woman that played. As sweet as it was, a solid two seconds was spent jumping up and down in glee.

“They’re wasting more time cheering than actually trying to win,” Mi-na jeered.

From the right track, Player 198 finally knocked down the stone. Though it was quickly penalized since he stepped over the white line. Now the group had to make another trip and try again for the fourth or fifth time. No way could they make it now, even if they passed, it would take a miracle for the team to cross the finish line.

And everyone knew what it meant to lose here.

Mi-na declared them goners, but a clash of colliding stones made her reconsider. The target was knocked over.

‘Pass!’

Yet no cheers came, not even from the spectating players. Only a saddened laugh filled with tears and piss from Player 198 and the shared whines of who he failed.

Just before they could finally move on, the guards blocked their path. Pink soldiers approached the team with long guns, probably with a name that had scrambled letters and numbers. There was no sense in waiting for the timer to hit zero, death had already come for them.

The team panicked, losing the coordination they worked so hard to maintain. All of them cried, shouting a myriad of “No!” “Please!” “Stop!” As one would when their life was about to end.

‘Your time is up.’

The guards cocked their guns and advanced. With no hesitation, they pulled their triggers.

While the volume of the shots was thundering, it was nowhere near as loud as the screams. On instinct, the crowd crammed their palms into their eardrums and ducked for cover.

Out went the bullets and into the eliminated, puncturing so many holes into their bodies they were comparable to Swiss cheese. Blood spewed out onto the colorful track like a broken sprinkler. The losers thrashed, jittering uncontrollably from the shots. It was like they were being tazed. Finally, they all collapsed.

Looking over Mi-na’s shoulder, Team two was as good as dead and filled with just as many holes.

‘The following players have been eliminated: Player 016, 045, 178, 189, 198..’

It hit her then, just as it hit everyone else, that they could be next. If a mistake was made, if a stone was dropped in the wrong place, their number would be another addition to the list.

No pressure.

‘Attention players. Please wait while we tidy up the venue.”

That voice. That eerie, despicable voice. It spoke of manslaughter like it was a minor inconvenience. All because these people were in debt, it stripped them of their value as human beings. All they were to this cooperation of pink soldiers and porcelain dolls were disposable trash with a pulse.

Mi-na felt like a fraud for wearing that bright blue patch, for testing her luck in these games. She was still alive, at least for now.

The ‘X’s were just being dramatic. They weren’t all gonna die. Who would get the money if that happened?

For someone acting all cool before, Nam-gyu was horror-struck. His hands were trembling, his voice too. Not in a hot way, either. Judging by the soft crunches and the not-so-secretive whispers, Thanos gave him his share of palettes.

“What?” Nam-gyu muttered mid-chew, catching Min-su, who watched the whole thing.

“Nothing.” He quickly said, sheepishly.

“What’s your name again?” Nam-gyu sat with his legs crossed, matching Min-su.

“It’s Min-su.”

“Min-su. Min-su.. What’s that famous quote by Admiral Yi Sun-sin?”

Nam-gyu cut him off before Min-su could think back.

“Those seeking life shall croak. Those seeking death shall live. So don’t be scared. Just tell yourself that you don’t care if you die. Then we’ll survive, win the money, and get the fuck out.”

“He’s got a point,” Mi-na chimed in. “He just needs to take his own advice.” She wiggled her fingers, mocking Nam-gyu’s shaking hands.

“What’s with you?” Nam-gyu asked. “You’ve been extra bitchy today. ”

“Yeah I am, you were rude. Plus, I’m petty.” Mi-na explained, going back to twiddling with her braids. She didn’t want to look at his face any more than she needed to.

“You’re still on about that?” He sneered. “You’re on the team, so stop complaining. Just don’t freak out and we’ll be fine.”

“You’re one to talk,” Mi-na snickered, pressing her fingertips delicately to her lips.

Nam-gyu slacked his jaw. “Fucking bitch.”

Mi-na smiled slyly, knowing she got to him.

After clearing the venue, save for the puddles of blood, the games continued.

Teams three and four did far better. When there was a struggle, it was met with support and compassion. Mi-na would clap politely each time they passed, having to avoid being hit by an ecstatic crowd.

Rare as it was, this was probably one of the few times the contestants were actually supportive of each other. There was a sense of unity. A connection among mere strangers, united to meet one goal: to survive.

Both teams crossed the finish line just in the nick of time. Mi-na let out a loud squeal, quickly cutting it off. No one noticed, as everyone was far too relieved to see both teams made it out alive. Mi-na could relish in the cheers, ignore the dread a little longer.

Until it was their turn.

‘Teams five and six, please step onto the track.’

From left to right, the group stood in the following order: Gyeong-su, Mi-na, Min-su, Nam-gyu, and Thanos.

Mi-na sucked in some air, fixing the cuffs of her sleeves for the hundredth time. The only thing that calmed her racing heart was the hope that they could win and the sake of her dignity. She told herself to think of it as an average six-legged race. No one was going to die- this was for fun! This was just for fun.

Firm straps wrapped along her ankles, connecting her feet with Gyeong-su and Min-su’s. They were far tighter than they looked, cutting off any circulation in her legs. She felt even more trapped in the game than before.

Everyone else looked just as tense, besides Thanos, of course. The guy was doing some weird dance. Nam-gyu looked nervous, but his hands weren’t shaking. Gyeong-su kept shuffling, aligning his feet right on the red part of the rainbow track. Min-su stood frozen solid.

Mi-na snaked her arms through Min-su and Gyeong-su’s, keeping a firm grip.

A gun craned into the air and streaked the artificial sky.

Bang!

Off they went, one foot in front of the other. Each step was weighted and flimsy, but Mi-na adjusted to the pace.

Thanos led the count, energetically shouting “One, two! One, two!” right til they reached the first 10 meter mark.

First stage: ddakji.

Gyeong-su’s turn.

At the station, a pink guard held a box containing a blue and red paper card.

Gyeong-su took the blue one, his face pale.

With a quick hand, Gyeong-su slammed the card down onto the other. Such force sent both spiraling. The red card landed right on the blank side.

‘Pass!’

“LETS GO!!” Thanos bucked, relocking arms with Nam-gyu to lead the count.

Second stage: Flying Stone.

Mi-na’s turn.

Mi-na snatched the chiseled stone. There was at least 2-3 meters of distance between her and the target, meaning a decent amount of walking if she messed up.

Mi-na crouched low, angling herself just behind the line.

Now, for the throw.

Mi-na loosened her wrist, before giving it a hearty chuck, throwing it like a frisbee.

The stone soared, bouncing along the pavement the way a stone would skip along a pond of water.

It struck the target with a grave crack! Knocking it onto the ground.

Everyone roared in commemoration, Thanos being the loudest. They wasted no time to cheer, they wouldn’t make that mistake..

Third Stage: Gong-gi.

Min-su’s turn.

On the little table held plastic jacks with colors that matched a rainbow.

Min-su scattered the stones, tossing one up in the air. He threw another, one too low for him to catch, so it slipped.

‘Fail!’

Nam-gyu grinded his teeth.

Min-su rolled the gonggitdol once more, bobbing his head each time he sent a piece flying upwards. He managed to get to a three pick before he stumbled his roll.

‘Fail!’

Another tumble.

‘Fail!’

Another flimsy hand.

Min-su’s movement became more scampered. If he kept messing up, it wouldn’t just cost his life but everyone else’s.

‘Fail!’

Nam-gyu snapped, clutching him by the tracksuit “YOU FUCKING BASTARD!” He shook him aggressively “You have one job you dumb shit!”

Min-su winced, flailing like a ragdoll under Nam-gyu’s death grip.

“We’re all going to die because of y-AH!” Nam-gyu reeled, Mi-na had smacked him on the back of the head.

“Oh my god, can you shut up? You’re scaring him!” Mi-na seized the gonggidols and shoved them into Min-su’s hands.

“Min-su. Gonggi. Now.”

Min-su looked up at her helplessly, his hands quivering.

Three minutes remained on the clock.

“You’re fine,” she consoled him, patting his arm reassuringly.

Min-su gripped onto the Korean jacks; his shaking ceased. He rolled the gonggitdol once again. Tossing one, then two, then three. With each toss, his hands became steady and his movement hypnotizing, everyone trained on Min-su. He tossed all five, laying them out on the back of his hand.

“Cmon..cmon.” Nam-gyu bit at his nails.

Mi-na held her breath.

He flung the gonggitdol high into the air, palm outstretched to make that last catch.

“Nam-gyu.” A voice corrected Thanos.

A head of slicked back hair that shined in the artificial light carelessly pushed through the crowd. Nam-gyu arrived with Gyeong-su swiftly trailing behind him.

“Let’s play the game together.” Thanos settles, confident Nam-gyu would say yes.

Nam-gyu nodded with no further objection, he’d probably eat glass if Thanos told him to.

Thanos robotically whipped his head to Gyeong-su, who gave him a grin so wide it took up over a third of his face. Thanos snapped his finger in recognition, that triangular smile bringing him back.

“Right, right, you. Come join us too.”

Mi-na swore Gyeong-su could cry from joy, it almost made her laugh at how eager he was. The contagiousness of his excitement quickly soured the moment Nam-gyu realized Mi-na was there.

He fixated on Mi-na with a new-found skepticism.

He wasted no time to complain to his dear confidante, Thanos.

“We’re gonna let the girl join? We don’t even know what kind of game this is.”

Mi-na’s brows knit together.

Bitch?

She was able to conceal her exasperation with an ever so posh poker face.

And here she thought he was one of the better ones.

Thanos clapped Nam-gyu firmly on the shoulder, this time a warning rather than a friendly gesture.

“Relax, man. She's cool. I vouch for her.” He gave her a finger gun.

Nam-gyu pursed his lips and sighed, quickly diminishing his apprehension.

Mi-na’s chin lifted in satisfaction, she was staying and that was final. With a quick glance she snuck in just enough warmth for Thanos to see the gratitude she had for him.

The subtle shift in her expression didn't escape him. Thanos felt the appreciation, and he acknowledged it with a subtle wink.

“Come on, let’s go find another sucker to join us.”

Mi-na skimmed over the area, taking part in the little hunt. So many people had already formed groups, it’d be harder to spot an available player. Judging by the track, it was probably a race so maybe someone that looked agile. Or, maybe someone fun, someone cute, or someone she could tolerate at least.

As she maneuvered through the crowd, the right amount of people parted the way for her. Out from the waves of contestants was a single ripple that caught her attention. A contestant she hadn’t seen before.

A couple feet away stood a young boy with the number 125 printed on his tracksuit.

He wandered aimlessly with his arms close to his sides. The kid was clueless, but more importantly he was alone.

“How about him?” she pointed to the group.

Nam-gyu eyed the player, before instantly hanging his head in dismay.

“He looks like a freaking dork.” Nam-gyu glowered.

“We kept you, didn’t we?” Mi-na retorted with a titter.

“I-You Fucking Bitch.”

Just as Nam-gyu was about to unleash his wrath, Thanos shoved past him to make a beeline to the mystery player. Mi-na and Gyeong-su followed.

“Hey.” Thanos greeted the boy coolly.

Now that they were up close, he looked even more like a dork. The boy had a flat head that made him appear as though he were dropped several times as a kid. Spouting out from his skull were shiny, dark locks that covered his brows, although it was nowhere near as shiny as Nam-gyu’s. All in all, a total baby face with round, innocent eyes that nervously flicked to each member of the team.

“What’s your name?” Thanos asked.

“It’s Min-su.” The boy uttered, his voice soft and polite. That was all Thanos needed to know.

“What’s up? Nice to meet you, my brother. Welcome to the Thanos world.” He gave him a bro shake, before embracing him in a one-arm hug. “You’re cute, wanna join my team?”

Min-su blinked in confusion, before giving him a timid smile and a nod.

Min-su was definitely the type of boy people would walk all over in high school. Even if he didn’t want to join, he wouldn’t say no.

“C’mon.” Thanos jerked his head, power walking through the arena with the team following like baby ducks.

‘Time for team selection is up.’

The contestants sat in four vertical rows, the middle being five by eleven players while the left and right sides were five by seven.

Mi-na took off her jacket and splayed it down like a beach towel. It would take forever to get the dust off her pants, and she wasn’t going to risk it.

She sat right in between Min-su and Nam-gyu. It wasn’t her first choice, but Nam-gyu already beat her to the spot she wanted.

‘The game you will be playing is Six-legged Pentathlon. You will start with your legs tied together. Each member will take turns playing a mini-game at every ten-meter mark, and if you win, the team can move on to the next one.’

It really was like a sports festival.

Mi-na mindlessly checked at her hot pink nails, reminiscing the simplicity of Red Light Green Light.

‘Here are the mini-games:

Number one, the Ddakji.

Number two, Flying Stone.

Number three, Gong-gi.

Number four, Spinning Top.

Number five, Jegi.’

There were little stations for the guards, each one sat by a tiny table with the corresponding number written in thick chalk.

‘Your goal is to win all the mini-games and cross the finish line in five minutes.’

So they hate them. They hate them all, is that what they’re saying?

Thanos turned to the team.

“You guys pick.” He whispered, before pulling his head back into the clouds.

Mi-na leaned back on her make-shift towel, wrinkling her nose in annoyance.

Could things just not be complicated for once?

Min-su clasped his hand at neck-breaking speed. When he revealed his fingers, all five gonggitdols were in his palm.

For the first time, Mi-na was thrilled to hear the feminine toll from the loudspeaker.

‘Pass!’

Min-su discarded the cursed jacks at once, finally relinquishing from his part of the game.

He did it, it took some time, but he did it.

Two minutes and ten seconds left, with two more mini-games to play.

If anyone messed up just as much as Min-su, they would sleep in coffins instead of cramped bunks. Mi-na would hold it against them long after she was dead.

Fourth Stage: Spinning Top

Nam-gyu’s turn.

Nam-gyu tied the tiny black rope around the axle, following the indents engraved on the bottom of the spinning top. He was far too engrossed to notice Thanos mimicking the motion with inconsistent vitality.

Once the rope was tied, Nam-gyu released it. The top took flight, twirling mid-air. It hit the surface with such perfect balance there was no way it couldn’t-

Nope. It clattered to the ground and rolled on its side.

‘Fail!’

The top lay motionless, as if taunting him from afar. Nam-gyu was paralyzed, consumed with devastation. This was his big moment, and he looked like a fool. For someone so impatient at others’ wrong-doings, he couldn’t seem to handle his own.

“Ayo! We got this party rockin’ shit, c’mon!” Thanos hyped them up, it wasn’t over yet.

Everyone waddled to the spinning top rested, a couple of meters forward. Nam-gyu slowly reached for the top, seemingly unconcerned about wasting valuable time.

“BaaaaAAaaAck!!” Thanos spun his arm like the blade of a windmill, guiding the group the way a drill sergeant would lead his lackeys.

The team carefully tiptoed to the track. All the while, Nam-gyu rekindled the rope around the spinning top.

Mi-na checked the timer, a minute and fifty-six seconds left.

By the time they returned to the line, Nam-gyu had completely secured the rope at the top.

“You can do this shit, bro!” Thanos screeched in encouragement, all up in his face. Nam-gyu motioned for him to back up, then Thanos reclined.

Nam-gyu released the thread, only this time, when the top landed, it spun at a steady speed.

‘Pass!’

Nam-gyu hollered, legs wobbling like noodles. The restraints are the one thing keeping him balanced.

Just one more game.

Fifth stage: Jegi.

Thanos’ turn.

Thanos stood tall. All he needed to do was kick the Jegi five times, all while keeping it in the air.

Pointing two fingers at Mi-na, he gestured with the Jegi as if asking for her attention. Mi-na gave him a confused smirk, was he seriously trying to impress her? Now?

Thanos took the Jegi and gave it a couple tosses. Just to get a good feel of the weight. Then, he put it to work.

One.

He lined up the shot, his foot poised with each kick.

Two.

The remaining seconds ticking away.

Three.

Thanos directed the Jegi with ease.

Four.

With one more powerful kick, Thanos punted it as hard as he could. The jegi launched off the track, exploding into a cloud of dust.

“Five.” he flexed his hand.

‘Pass!’

“Come on!” Mi-na called her team.

“One, two! One, two!”

Their voices grew stronger. She realized that the five of them weren’t the only one’s counting, the crowd had joined in. Strangers encouraged every step from the sidelines, building rushes of adrenaline, excitement, and hope. So they trudged, conjoined strides pulling them closer to that finish line.

How the red ribbon called to them, even as precious time ticked down: 0:29, 0:28, 0:27.

The ribbon snapped.

Out came roars of victory, the team laughed and screamed in pure ecstasy.

They were safe.

Mi-na allowed herself a moment of genuine relief, watching these boys, these men, that got her to this point.

Gyeong-su tugged at his hair as if trying to convince himself he was still there. Min-su joined the clamor, though he seemed more confused than enthusiastic.

Thanos leaped onto Nam-gyu, forgetting that their legs were still wrapped together.

“That’s what I’m talking about! CMERE!”

“Thanos, THANOS WAI-!”

Nam-gyu lost his footing and toppled over, taking everyone down with him. They fell like dominos, left in a pile of limbs and smiles.

Gyeong-su was giggling uncontrollably. Min-su’s mouth was quirked upwards in the closest thing that he could get to a smile. Nam-gyu just stared at the ceiling, catching his breath. His face was one of utter satisfaction.

The guards unlocked their braces, now they were able to freely move. Mi-na was about to stand when a hand reached out for her to take. An outstretched hand with silver rings and line tattoos.

Thanos loomed over, little droplets of sweat planted along the sides of his forehead, dampening his purple hair into a dark violet color.

“Need a lift, senorita?” He said with such complacency, it was obvious how hard he was trying.

Mi-na surveilled his hand as though it were a tempting antique, then took it. Might as well give him this one opportunity, she thought.

Thanos hoisted her up effortlessly.

“You weren’t too bad out there.” she mused, brushing past him.

Thanos paused, unable to wipe away that shit-eating smile of his. He bumped back into her, letting their shoulders touch as they walked to the dormitory.

As they walked, Mi-na felt the back of her head burn. It was as though two holes were being drilled into it; Hateful, icy holes. She didn’t think much of it, besides! It didn’t matter now, she was guaranteed to live another day.

And that was something to celebrate.
