Chapter 2 - In-ho

POV: In-ho

"He's such an naive person.." I thought to myself as I looked at Gi-hun's lips "He thinks that he can save all the people with just words. He is crazy." I sighed slightly. "But at the same time... He's brave for coming back. I wouldn't do that."

My eyes were glued to the number on Gi-hun's shirt. That crazy bastar got the same number again... 456 is my favourite number.

I slowly closed my eyes. I had to sleep and rest so I could play the next game good. I slowly started to drift off into the land of dreams. After a few minutes I finally fell asleep..

~~~~~~~~~~

My sleep was interrupted by a quiet moans in sleep. I opened my eyes and I saw Gi-hun shaking in bed. He was asleep and he was all sweaty. One tear drop out of his eye.

"Is he having a nightmare?" I thought to myself.

I shouldn't care, but deep down I felt like I wanted to help him with this. Not that I had to help him, but that I wanted to.

I put my hand between his hair and stroked them gently. I started whispering a lullaby to calm him down and soothe him. For the first time in my life I did this. I should HATE Gi-hun.. why am I doing it? I watched as Player 456 slowly calmed down with each hand movement. After a while he calmed down completely. I moved my hand away and scratched my neck.

"I hope he doesn't find out I did it.."

I laid my head on the pillow and watched Gi-Hun's face, his calm breathing until I fell asleep.

~~~~~~~~~~~

I was woken from my sleep by a rhythmic, but after a while, annoying melody. I opened my eyes and the first thing that caught my attention was to check if Gi-Hun was okay. I did it. He was awake for a awhile and he was sitting on a bed

– Hello - He said - have you sleep well?

- yeah, actually I did - I laughed slightly as Gi-hun's best friend (Jung-bae) approached us

- Hi there! Second game, huh? Hope we'll make it out alive - He cracked his knuckles - we got this!

- yeah, we sure have! - Player 388 said. He approached us with player 390 but he didn't catch my attention. I was more interested in the relationship between Jung-bae and Gi-hun right now. Are they together?

I clenched my teeth a little. What is this feeling? I feel my blood boiling when I look at 390. Is it jealously? I've never been jealous before. This must be some sort of joke or a big mistake. I am NOT jealous and I will never be. Ugh.. I don't want to feel this way.

While I was thinking about my feelings, a guard with a mask that has a square on it explained that we were now going to the arena where we would play the second game. We went there and entered the hall. On the floor were drawn two large circles in rainbow colors. I know what the next game will be so I didn't really listen to the woman over the loudspeaker telling us the rules of the next game. After she finished talking I looked at my "friends". I saw them discussing the fact that Dalgona doesn't play in teams and they said it's probably a different game.

- are we gonna be all 4 in one team? - I suddenly asked.

- Sure ! - they all agreed.

- but we need the 5th person... - said 390.

- I'll look for them!! - His marine friend saluted.

Jung-bae nooded his head. I couldn't help but state at Gi-hun. There's something about him that makes him unique and catches my attention.. but what is it? I really don't know what's going on in my mind right now.. but it's crazy.

- Hey, 001.. I didn't get your name. - Said the one who caught my attention - can I know it?

- Oh, of course! It's Yong-il... Which literally mean 1! - I chuckled

Him and 390 also chuckled.

I looked around slowly. I have a feeling this game won't go too well for us.
