player 306

chapter 7

"Excuse me. It was them. They... skipped the line and got seconds. I saw it." The woman pointed to the man with a snake tattoo and his crew. I wasn't surprised that they did something so selfish like steal someone's food.

"Hey, what's the matter, everybody? Jeez. You've never seen a guy eat before, is that it? Shit." He began to laugh and so did his minions.

"Who do you think you are?" player 271 asked him. "That's my food you just ate." I could only imagine how irritated he was. I would be angry if someone ate my food when I was starving and almost died not too long ago.

"Ah. So, uh, is this yours? Is your name on it? 'Cause I sure don't see anything." He lifted the soda bottle.

"Give me that. Give it back. It's mine. Give it back to me!" The bottle shatters. And send the snake tattoo man in a rage.

"You little shit, goddammit. Why did you break it, you jerk? How was this, huh? How come a scrawny guy like you is so greedy about food? You piece of shit!" The man was being kicked repeatedly and it seemed like he was about to die. Every time a blow was delivered, blood poured out of his mouth. No one intervened; everyone just watched, terrified that they would be next.

Hey, listen up. You should learn to share. Is it too hard, you dumbass? You bastard! What the hell? You shithead." The thug finally stopped hurting the man, I felt that this man wouldn't be able to get up. Player 271 groans on the floor. I was trying to look for a chest rise, but there was nothing. Was he dead?

Sang-woo walked Player 271 shaking him lightly "Hey, you okay? Hey, wake up." He wasn't responding. Sang-woo placed two fingers on the side of the man's neck to see if he still had a pulse. He looked up to Gi-hun, "He's gone." he announced.

Gi-hun looked in complete shock, this man just killed someone and did nothing to stop him. "Uh, hello, guards. Can someone do something? Hey, didn't you hear that? A person died. That man there just died. Look, that man was killed. That bastard... That bastard just killed him. We shouldn't be killing each other like this!"

Player 271, eliminated.

The money on the digital screen changed and the prize money piggy bank filled up with more money. That's when everyone realized that the fewer people the more money for themselves.

"We can't fall asleep tonight, okay? Who knows what someone else may try." Gi-hun said, trying to warn us of the other blood-thirsty players.

Sang-woo nudged his head towards Deok-su and his group. "Look at them. It looks like they're planning something. If they try to attack someone, let's group together and fight them. Come to our side if anything goes wrong." He placed his hand on Ali's shoulder.

"Okay, I will," Ali responded

"What about you, player 306? Did you hear what I said?"

I just looked at him with my resting bitch face, got up, and left. It wasn't like I could not hear him. I have ears and I can't shut them off, no matter how much I wish I could.

I headed towards player 067. She had her knees tucked into her chest, showing that she was deeply contemplating something. As a result of what happened to player 271, I know she would be hunted by Deok-su.

"Hey, pickpocket," I said in a friendly tone, but she didn't bother to look up or even respond. She was scared I could tell. I continue to try to talk to her.

"Are you okay? I know that you and that thug have it out for each other."

"Oh yeah. So what?" She quickly responded.
