player 306

chapter 8

Oh, I'm so scared...Ms. Han Mi-nyeo. Well then, best of luck to you, huh?" Deok-su continues to tease the woman. He pats her cheeks and walks away from her. 

Even though the woman was annoying, I felt bad for her. Last night I assume she had sex with him, and I'm pretty sure that asshole promised to form an alliance with her. However, it seems like he had no intention of keeping that promise, which is why player 212 was rejected. So, I did what I thought was right and walked up to the woman.

"Hey, do you have a team yet?"

~

One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Six. Seven. Eight. Wait, where's Yeona? Did she find someone to bring? Gi-hun questions, just as I walk up behind him.

"I'll play with you as a special deal here, okay? Man, you guys lucked out today. Yikes! I'll be way more help than either of these wimpy little girls. Plus, I'm good at everything except the things that I can't do!" Player 212 squeals and sits down and I sit down next to her. I could feel Sang-woo's eyes on me and I knew that he would be pissed that I brought another girl to the group.

"I said to bring only men back here, didn't I?" He was practically seething with anger.

"We don't know what we were doing yet," I say matter of factly.

"You brought her in just to defy me didn't you," Sang-woo snapped back

"You're not my father, I don't have to listen to you," I sassed back, if he wants to go there with me then we can.

"This doesn't sound good. You want me to go? I'll go now." Another girl said in the group. I guess I wasn't the only person who brought in a girl.

"No, wait. Hold on. It's okay. Stay where you are. We don't even know what we're doing yet." Gi-hun said trying his best to convince Sang-woo that having four girls on the team is perfectly fine.

The time for forming your teams is over. All players, please line up with your teammates at the entrance to the game hall.

"Hold on. We're not gonna stay here, though?" Gi-hun questioned. Everyone is confused about what the next game will be.

The square masked man begins to speak, "I would now like to welcome you all to the third game. Today's game is Tug-of-War. To win, you must pull the rope towards your platform in an attempt to drop your opponents down below." Sang-woo turns his head and looks back at me, we both mirroring the same expression on our faces....fear.  "Now, I will draw numbers to decide which two teams will play first. Everyone, please sit down."

We are so fucked, I look to see that many of the teams were all men or at least had two women max, while ours had four. Ugh, there is no way we can beat any team at Tug-of-War. Sang-woo was right.

"First, the team that will play on the left tower. Team One. Team One, please stand up. And now, the team that will play on the right tower. Team Seven. Team Seven, please stand up. Teams One and Seven will be the first teams to play. Will both teams please go to your towers." The masked man continued

Team Seven easily won and the rope of the opposite team was cut off. The players who lose will fall to their death. Shit. Shit. Shit. I was scared as hell right now.

The following players, Player 245, Player 120, Player 37, Player 408, Player 27, Player 273, Player 58, Player 243, Player 327, and Player 241 are eliminated.

"I will now draw the teams for the next round. Team Four. Team Five." I look over at the other team and guess what they were all men. Shit. Today is the day I die. "Team Four and Team Five, please go to your towers."
